疟脉自弦，浮弦表邪，沉弦里邪，洪弦属热，迟弦属寒，滑弦食积。久疟之脉，微细虚
弱，渐缓则愈，弦紧则殆，土败双弦，代散莫救。

The pulse of malaria naturally presents as a string-like (Xian) pulse. If the pulse is floating and string-like, it indicates pathogenic factors in the exterior; if sinking and string-like, it indicates pathogenic factors in the interior; if surging and string-like, it belongs to heat syndrome; if slow and string-like, it belongs to cold syndrome; if slippery and string-like, it is due to food retention. For chronic malaria, if the pulse appears minute (Wei), fine (Xi), empty (Xu), or weak (Ruo), and gradually becomes moderate, recovery will ensue; if the pulse is string-like and tight, the condition is critical; if Earth failure (Spleen-Stomach Qi exhaustion) leads to a double string-like pulse, or if a choppy (Dai) or scattered (San) pulse appears, the condition is incurable.

Take one qian per dose, administered orally with aged rice wine on an empty stomach. Stop after two or three doses.
Xiangyuan Xionghuang San (from *Zhongfutang*)

Wrap in soft fermented clothing (traditional food) into six or seven small packets and swallow whole. Do not consume any liquids on that day; allow vomiting of stubborn phlegm.
