〔《脉》〕问曰∶妇人病如癫疾郁冒，一日二十余发，师脉之，反言带下，皆如师言，其
脉何类？何以别之？师曰∶寸口脉濡而紧，濡则阳气微，紧则荣中寒，阳微卫气虚，血竭凝寒，
阴阳不和，邪气舍于荣卫。疾起年少时经水来以合房室，移时过度，精感命门开，经下血虚，
百脉皆张，中极感阳动，微风激成寒，因虚舍荣卫，令积于丹田，发动上冲，奔在胸膈，津液掩
口入，涎唾涌溢出，眩冒状如厥，气冲髀里热，粗医名为癫，灸之因大剧。问妇人病苦，气上
冲胸，眩冒，吐涎沫，髀里气冲热，师脉之，不名带下，其脉何类？何以别之？师曰∶寸口脉沉
而微，沉则胃气伏，微则荣气绝，阳伏则为疹，阴绝则为亡血，病当小便不利，津液闭塞。今
反小便通，微汗出，沉变为寒，咳逆呕沫，其肺成痿，津液竭少，亡血损经络，因寒为血厥，
手足苦痹，气从丹田起，上至胸胁，沉寒怫郁于上，胸中窒塞，气历阳部，面翕翕如醉，形体似

To treat sudden death accompanied by intense heat, the prescription uses half a jin of Alum (Fan Shi), boiled in one dan and a half of water until dissolved. Soak the feet in the solution up to the ankles.
[Shi] For those who died due to fright, administer warm wine.
[Dan] After an attack of Phlegm (Tan) syndrome, there is a sense of confusion and oppression in the epigastrium as if immersed in water, decreased appetite, and fatigue.

A woman in her thirties, having had a robust appetite postpartum, suddenly experienced dizziness, fell, and became unconscious half a month later. Since waking, she has had a poor appetite.

Decoct the above herbs to obtain one-third of the original volume. Administer with thirty pills of Bao He Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill).
[Ben Cao] The condition known as "Qi Zhong" (Stroke of Qi) mentioned by laypeople is not found in medical texts. However, excessive joy injures Yang, excessive anger injures Yin, and sorrow or frustration often leads to Qi Jue (Reversal of Qi). Patients typically experience surging saliva, stupor, obstruction, and lockjaw. If treated indiscriminately as Feng Zheng (Wind Syndrome), it is not only inappropriate but often fatal. In the Gengwu year of the Yuan dynasty, my mother suffered this affliction, leaving me with lasting regret. My mother usually ate a vegetarian diet and had weak Qi and Blood. Following the grief of my father's death, she suddenly suffered Qi Jue with lockjaw and salivary overflow. A local physician diagnosed it as Wind Stroke and administered three pills of Da Tong Wan (Great Unblocking Pill) to induce purgation. After several severe purges, she died that night. I deeply lamented this. Whenever I encounter such cases, I urgently prepare Su He Xiang Wan (Styrax Pill) for administration, which restores consciousness. Subsequently, regulating based on Cold, Heat, Deficiency, and Excess invariably leads to recovery.
The Classics state: Sudden aphonia without cause, with a pulse that fluctuates between large and small, short and long, indicates Gui Chuang (Ghost Affliction); a slippery pulse indicates Gui Zhu (Ghost Transmission); a tight and rapid pulse indicates Dun Shi (Escaping Corpse).
[Su Wen] A pulse that is rapid like panting is named Bao Jue (Sudden Reversal). Those with Bao Jue cannot speak with others. (From *Da Qi Lun*) A floating and scattered pulse indicates collapse. (Wang Bing notes: Floating indicates Deficiency, Scattered indicates insufficiency. From *Mai Yao Jing Wei Lun*)
In cases of sudden collapse due to extreme deficiency where pathogenic factors strike abruptly, the five Zang organs close, the pulse channels become blocked, and Qi ceases to circulate. This is akin to falling into drowning; prognosis is unpredictable, and the pulse may cease entirely. If the pulse beats five or six times per breath, yet the flesh has not wasted away, even if the True Zang pulse is not visible, it is still a death sign. (From *Yu Ji Zhen Zang Lun*)
[Wu] The pulse for Zhong Shu (Heat Stroke) is weak at the Yang position and indicates Yin Deficiency; it is slightly slow and resembles a Kou pulse (Hollow pulse).
[Mai Jing] Question: A woman suffers from symptoms resembling Dian Ji (Mania-Depression) and Yu Mao (Stagnant Dizziness), occurring more than twenty times a day. The physician diagnoses a Dai Xia (Leukorrhea) condition, which proves correct. What does her pulse resemble? How to differentiate? Answer: The Cun Kou pulse is Ru (Soggy) and Jin (Tight). Ru indicates slight Yang Qi deficiency; Jin indicates Cold in the Ying (Nutritive) level. Yang deficiency leads to Wei (Defensive) Qi deficiency; blood exhaustion and stagnation create Cold. Yin-Yang disharmony allows pathogenic factors to lodge in Ying and Wei. The disease originated when she engaged in intercourse during menstruation in her youth, overexerting herself. Essence stimulated the Ming Men (Gate of Life) to open, menstrual blood flowed causing Blood Deficiency, and all vessels dilated. The Zhong Ji point felt Yang movement; slight wind triggered Cold. Due to deficiency, pathogens lodged in Ying and Wei, accumulating in the Dan Tian. Upon activation, Qi rushed upward to the chest and diaphragm. Body fluids covered the mouth, causing saliva to surge and overflow. Dizziness and stupor resembled Jue. Qi rushing into the thighs caused heat. Crude physicians named it Dian (Mania), and moxibustion aggravated it.
Question: A woman suffers from Qi rushing to the chest, dizziness, vomiting of saliva, and heat in the thighs. The physician does not diagnose Dai Xia. What is the pulse? How to differentiate? Answer: The Cun Kou pulse is Chen (Deep) and Wei (Fine). Chen indicates latent Stomach Qi; Wei indicates exhausted Ying Qi. Yang latency causes rashes; Yin exhaustion causes Blood loss. The disease should present with difficult urination and closed body fluids. Now, urine flows freely, slight sweating occurs, Chen transforms into Cold, coughing and vomiting of foam occur, the Lung becomes Fei (Flaccidity), body fluids are depleted, Blood loss damages meridians. Due to Cold, Blood Jue (Reversal) occurs, causing bi-syndrome in hands and feet. Qi rises from the Dan Tian to the chest and hypochondrium. Deep Cold stagnates above, causing chest oppression. Qi passes through Yang regions, causing the face to appear flushed as if drunk, and the body appears fat. This is a Fu Xu (Floating and Deficient) pulse. Physicians incorrectly used long needles to purge, further damaging Ying and Wei. Long-standing dizziness confirms Blood Jue.
[Zhong Jing] Question: The Cun Kou pulse is Chen (Deep) and Da (Large) and Hua (Slippery). Chen indicates Excess; Hua indicates Qi. When Excess and Qi contend, if Blood and Qi enter the Zang organs, death ensues; if they enter the Fu organs, recovery occurs. This is called Cu Jue (Sudden Reversal). What does this mean? Answer: Blue lips and cold body indicate entry into Zang organs leading to death. Warm body and spontaneous sweating indicate entry into Fu organs leading to recovery.
[Mai Jing] In patients with Shi Jue (Corpse Reversal) who do not respond to calls, a hidden pulse indicates death, while a pulse that is large but becomes smaller also indicates death. In sudden attacks of Evil Qi, if the abdomen is distended and limbs full, a large and slow pulse indicates survival; a tight, large, and floating pulse indicates death; a tight, fine, and minute pulse also indicates survival.
