仲景《伤寒论》∶“师曰∶‘黄汗为病，身体肿发热，出汗而渴，状如风水，汗沾衣，
色正黄，如柏汁，脉自沉也。’问曰∶‘从何得之。’师曰∶‘以汗出，水入汗孔，水从外
入而得之，宜黄 芍药桂心酒汤主之’。”

Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases) records: "The Master said: 'Yellow sweat disease presents with body swelling and fever, sweating accompanied by thirst. The symptoms resemble Fengshui disease (a type of edema primarily affecting the head and face), sweat stains the clothes a bright yellow color like cypress juice, and the pulse is naturally deep.' Someone asked: 'How is this disease acquired?' The Master said: 'It is acquired because when sweating, water enters the sweat pores; water invades from the exterior. It should be treated primarily with Huangqi Shaoyao Guizhi Jiu Tang.'"
Huangqi (Astragali Radix, five liang) Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, three liang) Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex, three liang)
Cut the above three herbs, mix with one sheng of vinegar and seven sheng of water, boil to obtain three sheng of liquid, remove dregs, and take one sheng warm. After taking the medicine, mental restlessness (fannao) will appropriately occur. By the sixth or seventh day, symptoms will gradually resolve spontaneously. If mental restlessness persists, it is due to the obstruction caused by the vinegar. Another method uses high-quality rice vinegar instead of wine; raw green onion is contraindicated.
Furthermore, in all cases of yellow sweat disease, the lower legs are naturally cold; if fever occurs, this belongs to Lijie disease (joint pain severe as if bitten by a tiger), with sweating occurring immediately after eating. Also, if the body frequently sweats at night during sleep (night sweating), this is Laoqi disease (deficiency qi disease). If fever follows sweating, over time the body will inevitably develop Jiachuo (skin dry and rough like fish scales); those with persistent fever will certainly develop malignant sores. If the body feels heavy and becomes lighter after sweating, over time the body will inevitably become numb and insensible, leading to chest pain. If sweating occurs only above the waist but not below, with flaccid pain in the loins and hips, feeling as if insects are crawling under the skin, and in severe cases, inability to eat, body pain and heaviness with irritability, and difficult urination, this is named Yellow Sweat Disease, treated with Guizhi Tang plus Huangqi.
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix) Zhi Cao (Prepared Licorice Root) Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger, each three liang) Huangqi (Astragali Radix, five liang) Dazao (Jujube, twelve pieces)
Decoct in water.
To treat jaundice with body swelling, fever, sweating with thirst, resembling Fengshui disease, where sweat turns clothes yellow, use Wulan Tang formula.
Wulan (Isatidis Folium) Baishao (White Peony Root) Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex) Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix) Xianpi (Periplocae Cortex) Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus, each six fen)
Decoct in water.
Xiaoxuming Tang (Minor Continuation Life Decoction) generally treats wind-stroke involving the six meridians, facial paralysis with limb disability, slurred speech, and both rigid and flaccid spasms.
Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, one qian two fen) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) Renshen (Ginseng Radix) Baishao (White Peony Root) Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix) Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) Zhi Cao (Prepared Licorice Root, each eight fen) Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix, four fen, processed)
Add three slices of fresh ginger and two jujubes, decoct in water and take.
Fangtong Tongsheng San (Wind-Blocking Universal Benefit Powder) treats wind-stroke, cold damage sores, and all conditions characterized by excess in both exterior and interior.
Jiu Dahuang (Wine-processed Rhubarb Root) Mangxiao (Mirabilitum) Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica) Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) Baishao (White Peony Root) Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus) Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, each five fen) Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each one qian) Gancao (Licorice Root, two qian) Huashi (Talcum, three qian)
Add scallion and ginger, decoct. Can be taken twice daily and once at night.
Wu Hegao stated: "Fangfeng and Mahuang are exterior-releasing herbs; for wind-heat pathogens in the skin, they are excreted through sweat via these herbs. Jingjie and Bohe are upper-clearing herbs; for wind-heat pathogens at the vertex, they are excreted through the nose via these herbs. Dahuang and Mangxiao are purgative herbs; for wind-heat pathogens in the intestines and stomach, they are excreted through defecation via these herbs. Huashi and Zhizi are water-passage herbs; for wind-heat pathogens in the triple burner, they are excreted through urination via these herbs. Wind pathogen overflowing into the diaphragm affects the lungs and stomach; Shigao and Jiegeng clear the lungs and stomach. Meanwhile, Lianqiao and Huangqin dispel wandering fire in various meridians. The harm of wind is governed by Liver Wood; Chuanxiong, Danggui, and Shaoyao harmonize liver blood. Gancao and Baizhu harmonize stomach qi and strengthen the spleen. Mr. Liu Shouzhen excelled in treating fire; the principle of this formula is detailed and comprehensive."
The rhyme states: "Fangtong Tongsheng contains Dahuang and Xiaoyao, Jingjie Mahuang Zhizi Shaoyao Lianqiao, Gancao Guben Chuanxiong Danggui Shigao Huashi, Bohe Huangqin Baizhu have strong power."
Qufeng Zhibao Dan (Wind-Dispelling Precious Pill) treats wind pathogen entering meridians and viscera, and all critical conditions.

Grind the above twenty-six herbs into powder, refine honey to make pills the size of bullet seeds. Take one or two pills per dose, chew thoroughly, and swallow with tea or wine before bedtime.
Houshi Heisan (Hou Shi Black Powder) treats severe wind causing heaviness in limbs and a sense of cold deficiency in the heart (used in *Waitai Mi Yao* for wind epilepsy).
Juhua (Chrysanthemi Flos, forty fen) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, each ten fen) Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix, eight fen) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, five fen) Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) Renshen (Ginseng Radix) Fuling (Poria) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Muli (Concha Ostreae) Fanshi (Alumen) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, each three fen)
Grind the above fourteen herbs into powder. Take one fangcunbi with wine, once daily. For the first twenty days, take with warm wine. Contraindicate all fish, meat, and garlic. Prefer cold food. Stop after sixty days. This ensures the medicine accumulates in the abdomen without descending; hot food causes it to descend, while cold food aids its efficacy. The formula uses Renshen, Fuling, Danggui, and Chuanxiong to tonify qi and blood as sovereign herbs; Juhua, Baizhu, and Muli nourish liver, spleen, and kidney as minister herbs; add Fangfeng and Guizhi to move bi-obstruction qi. Since wind leads with cold, use Xixin and Ganjiang first to drive away assisting cold. Fire arises with wind, so use Huangqin and Jiegeng to disperse stagnant heat. Fanshi removes dampness and resolves toxicity, astringing heart qi. Wine circulates throughout the body as envoy herb, ensuring old wind exits and new wind does not enter. It must be taken as powder with wine for sixty days, preferring cold food to keep medicine in the abdomen. Generally, evil Qi invading the heart dislikes heat and prefers cold, indicating yin-cold origin. If yang in the chest is not treated, wind cannot exit. Thus, fill the empty cavities in the chest with medicine first to strengthen middle qi, preventing internal invasion and forcing external elimination. This aligns with *Neijing*: "Blocking empty cavities is the principle of skilled physicians." If treating only exterior and interior, wind may exit but doors remain open, allowing re-entry, making it uncontrollable.
Dihuang Yinzi (Rehmannia Decoction) treats fei syndrome of the feet (inability to walk) and yin syndrome of the tongue (inability to speak), caused by failure of Shaoyin qi to reach, named Yinfei.
Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix) Rongrongrou (Cistanches Meat) Fuling (Poria) Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix) Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis) Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus) Bajirou (Morinda Officinalis Cortex, each five fen) Boheye (Mint Leaf, two fen)
Two cups of water, decoct to eight parts and take.
All herbs are heavy and sinking in nature to suppress rebellious fire. However, fire originates from wind, is formless and fast-moving, so light and clear Bohe is used as a guide. Decoct briefly to prevent all heavy flavors from extracting, allowing light clear qi to travel to yang aspect to disperse wind, and heavy turbid qi to travel to yin aspect to suppress rebellion. Such is the subtlety of formula preparation and decoction methods.
Canfu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction) (See Night Sweating section)
Sanyin Baisan (Three Causes White Powder) treats wind-stroke with loss of consciousness and surging phlegm-saliva, truly a miraculous formula for reviving the dead. Very effective for asthma and excessive phlegm.
Huashi (Talcum, four qian ground) Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, three qian) Sheng Fuzi (Raw Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix, two qian)
Grind together into powder. Add four slices of fresh ginger and five qian of white honey. Decoct in one and a half cups of water to eight parts, take warm. For cold transformation pattern, with faint or absent pulse, cold extremities, and abundant phlegm, use this formula. For rapid pulse and warm hands/feet (heat transformation pattern), use Fengyin Tang or Zhuye Shigao Tang.
Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) (See Cold Damage section)
Zhuye Shigao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) (See Fire Syndrome section)
Huanglian Ejiao Tang (Coptis and Donkey-Hide Gelatin Decoction) treats Shaoyin disease persisting for two or more days with mental restlessness and inability to sleep. Borrowed for Shaoyin wind-stroke.
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, four qian) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, one qian) Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, two qian) Ejiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin, three qian) Jizihuang (Chicken Egg Yolk, two beaten evenly, take one-third)
Take the above five herbs. With two cups of water, boil the first three to obtain one cup. Remove dregs, dissolve Ejiao completely. Cool slightly, add chicken egg yolk, stir well. Take warm, three times daily. This is a Shaoyin heat-transformation pattern. Use bitter-cold Huanglian and Huangqin to subdue it, bitter-neutral Shaoyao to descend it. Chicken egg yolk supplements qi in Li (Heart/Fire), Ejiao supplements essence in Kan (Kidney/Water). Let these sentient substances interact water and fire, stopping restlessness and enabling sleep. This is a heaven-restoring method.
Suhe Xiang Wan (Styrax Pill)
Zhibao Dan (Treasure-Preserving Pill) (Famous medicine, available in pharmacies, formula omitted.)
Shunqi San (Qi-Smooth Powder)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) Fuling (Poria) Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) Wuyao (Linderae Radix) Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, each one liang) Gancao (Licorice Root, five qian)
Cut roughly. Take three qian per dose, decoct in one cup of water to seven parts, take warm.
Yunqi San (Qi-Balancing Powder)

Add five slices of fresh ginger, decoct in one and a half cups of water to eight parts. Take after meals.
Zhuli Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction) treats wind-heat causing mental restlessness and slurred speech.
Zhuli (Bamboo Sap) Jingli (Schizonepeta Sap, each five fen) Shengjiangzhi (Fresh Ginger Juice, three he)
Mix the above three, take three he warm. Best taken with wine. Another formula: Zhuli, Jingli, and Pear Juice (each two he), aged soy sauce (half he). Mix, simmer briefly, filter clearly, drip slowly into mouth. Treats wind-stroke muteness and coma. Another formula: Zhuli (five he), human milk (two he), aged soy sauce (half he). Mix, divide into three doses. Treats wind-heat, stiff tongue, inability to speak, mental restlessness. Another formula: Zhuli (five he), human milk (two he), ginger juice (one sheng). Mix, take warm, divided into three doses, day and night. Outside the elaborations of Liu, Zhu, and Li, later generations added four patterns: Evil Middle, Food Middle, Cold Middle, Summerheat Middle. (Sun Xin Dian notes: Food Middle is caused by overeating filling Taiyin, blocking upper and lower qi leading to syncope. Treat with Pingwei San modified, induce vomiting, or administer Beijidan.)
Fengyin Tang (Wind-Driving Decoction) treats adult wind-stroke with牵引 (pulling/twitching), pediatric convulsions, and also mania, madness, and epilepsy.
Dahuang (Rhubarb Root, two liang) Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, three liang) Longgu (Fossilized Bones, four liang) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, three liang) Gancao (Licorice Root, two liang) Muli (Concha Ostreae, four liang) Hanshuishi (Hydrocerus) Chishizhi (Halloysitum Rubrum) Baishizhi (Halloysitum Album) Huashi (Talcum) Zi Shiyingshi (Purple Quartz, each six liang)
Sift the above twelve herbs using a bamboo basket, store in a reed bag. Take three finger-pinches, add three sheng of well water, boil three times. Take one sheng warm (approx. one and a half liang per dose).
When wind pathogen merges internally, fire-heat generates internally, five zang organs become hyperactive, rushing into the Heart. Thus, Guizhi, Gancao, Longgu, and Muli are used as sovereign herbs to unblock yang qi and calm heart-kidney. Jueyin Wind-Wood and Shaoyang Minister-Fire rise together; fire generation causes wind, wind carries wood energy to insult Spleen-Earth. Spleen qi stagnates, fluids condense into phlegm, flowing to extremities causing paralysis. Thus, Dahuang is used as minister herb to purge wind-fire-damp-heat. Ganjiang is used as counter-agent to supplement and stop movement. Huashi and Shigao clear Metal to control Wood. Chishizhi and Baishizhi thicken Earth to remove dampness. Hanshuishi assists Kidney Water yin. Zi Shiyingshi supplements Heart Spirit deficiency as envoy herb. Thus treating adult/pediatric wind-convulsion-epilepsy.

*Neijing* states: "Excess Spleen-Stomach leads to inability to lift limbs." Also: "Earth excess leads to Dunfu. Fu means high; Dun means dense. Dense and high requires removal. This is a disease of rich food, not Kidney deficiency." How to know? *Neijing* says: "Three Yin and Three Yang diseases manifest as hemiplegia and Wei-Yi (flaccidity)." Wang Bing notes: "Three Yin deficiency causes hemiplegia; Three Yang excess causes Wei-Yi; Yi refers to common Wei-Yi, meaning flaccid weakness." Treatment suits Sanhua Tang to purge until qi weakens, yang declines, earth balances, and health returns. If Spleen deficiency, limbs are useless. *Neijing* says: "Earth deficiency leads to Beijian. Bei means low; Jian means陷 (sunken/hole)." "Limbs receive qi from Stomach but cannot reach meridians directly; must rely on Spleen. Now Spleen cannot transport fluids for Stomach, limbs lack grain qi, deteriorate daily, meridians obstruct, bones/muscles lack qi to generate, thus useless." Treatment suits Shiquan San, modify Siwu Tang, eliminate evil retain right.
