[From *Zhai Xuan Fang Lun*] When pathogenic cold is in the exterior, symptoms include fever (Fa Re), aversion to cold (E Han), pain in the head and nape, stiffness of the waist and spine, anhidrosis (Wu Han), and both the Cun (Inch) and Chi (Cubit) pulses are floating: Acupuncture at Hegu (LI4) [Hegu (L.I.4)] (insertion depth five fen; remove needle immediately after general sweating occurs; this acupoint is excellent for inducing sweating); Fuliou (KI7) [Fuliou (K.I.7)] (using the reducing method).
[Yun Qizi states] Another method: Acupuncture at Shangqiu (SP9) [Shangqiu (S.P.9)], Hegu (LI4) [Hegu (L.I.4)] of the Hand-Yangming channel; Wangu (SI4) [Wangu (S.I.4)], Yanggu (SI5) [Yanggu (S.I.5)] of the Hand-Taiyang channel; Xiaxi (GB43) [Xiaxi (G.B.43)] of the Foot-Shaoyang channel; Lidui (ST45) [Lidui (S.T.45)] of the Foot-Yangming channel; Laogong (PC8) [Laogong (P.C.8)] of the Hand-Jueyin channel. These should be selected based on channel differentiation and pulse diagnosis. Additionally, the Ying-Spring points of all twelve channels may be needled.
[From *Zhai Xuan Fang Lun*] For failure to sweat after attempting diaphoresis in cold damage: Fengchi (GB20) [Fengchi (G.B.20)]; Xiaxi (GB43) [Xiaxi (G.B.43)]; Yuji (LU10) [Yuji (L.U.10)] (disperse by two fen into the pulse, retain for three breaths); Jingqu (LU7) [Jingqu (L.U.7)] (insertion depth two fen); Neiting (ST44) [Neiting (S.T.44)] (sweating occurs promptly).
Taiyang disease presenting like malaria, occurring two or three times a day: If the patient's pulse is slightly slow and relaxed, without vomiting or abnormal urination/defecation, recovery is imminent. If the pulse is slightly weak with aversion to cold, facial redness, and body itching, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang (Half-Guizhi Half-Mahuang Decoction) [Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang (Half-Guizhi Half-Mahuang Decoction)] should be used. (Formula discussion see "Fever".)
After taking Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) [Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction)], if profuse sweating occurs and the pulse becomes flooding, administer Guizhi Tang again according to previous instructions. If the condition resembles malaria, occurring twice a day, resolution will follow sweating; Guizhi Er Mahuang Yi Tang (Two-Parts Guizhi One-Part Mahuang Decoction) [Guizhi Er Mahuang Yi Tang (Two-Parts Guizhi One-Part Mahuang Decoction)] is appropriate.
Ingredients: Guizhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi) [Guizhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi)] (8 qian half), Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) [Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)] (5 qian half), Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae) [Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae)] (3 qian), Dazao (Fructus Jujubae) [Dazao (Fructus Jujubae)] (2 pieces), Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens) [Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens)] (5 qian half), Xingren (Semen Armeniacae Amarum) [Xingren (Semen Armeniacae Amarum)] (8 seeds, skin and tips removed), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) [Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae)] (half liang).
Process the herbs into coarse powder. Take 5 qian per dose, add 1.5 cups of water, decoct until 0.8 cup remains, strain, and take warm.
If the patient experiences irritability and heat, which resolve with sweating, but then recur like malaria in the late afternoon, this belongs to the Yangming stage. If the pulse is excess, purgation is indicated; if the pulse is floating and deficient, diaphoresis is indicated. For purgation, use Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) [Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction)]; for diaphoresis, use Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) [Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction)]. In women, if chills and fever alternate and menstruation suddenly stops, it is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber (Re Ru Xue Shi) [Heat Entering the Blood Chamber], where blood coagulation causes malaria-like symptoms with regular timing; Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) [Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction)] is the primary treatment. (Discussion see "Cold Damage in Women".)
Head sweating (Tou Han) [Head Sweating], with difficulty in urination: If the patient has fullness in the chest and hypochondrium with alternating chills and fever, Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Tang (Bupleurum, Cinnamon Twig, and Dried Ginger Decoction) [Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Tang (Bupleurum, Cinnamon Twig, and Dried Ginger Decoction)] should be used. (Formula discussion see "Alternating Chills and Fever"). If jaundice (Huang) [Jaundice] and thirst for fluids occur, Yinchen Tang (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction) [Yinchen Tang (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction)] is appropriate. (Formula discussion see "Jaundice").
For Yangming stomach excess causing head sweating, if bleeding from the lower orifices and delirium (Chan Yu) [Delirium] occur, it indicates Heat Entering the Blood Chamber; puncture Qimen (LR14) [Qimen (L.R.14)] is indicated. (Discussion see "Delirium").
After purgation, if hands and feet are warm, without Chest Binding (Jie Xiong) [Chest Binding], but with inner restlessness (Ao Nan) [Inner Restlessness], hunger without desire to eat, Zhizi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction) [Zhizi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction)] is suitable. (Formula discussion see "Irritability").
If forced sweating via fire therapy results in forehead sweating and difficulty urinating, jaundice will definitely develop. (Formula see "Stomach Excess").
With head sweating and epigastric fullness, if the pulse is deep and fine, with slight aversion to cold, cold hands and feet, no desire to eat, and hard stools, Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) [Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction)] is used. (Discussion see "Jue, Alternating Chills and Fever").
For Water Binding in the Chest without significant heat, Da Xiexiong Tang (Major Breaking the Chest Binding Decoction) [Da Xiexiong Tang (Major Breaking the Chest Binding Decoction)] is used; Sun Zhao modified this to Banxia Fuling Tang (Pinellia and Poria Decoction) [Banxia Fuling Tang (Pinellia and Poria Decoction)].
In Taiyang Wind Strike, if fire therapy is used to force sweating, wind pathogens combined with fire cause qi and blood to overflow abnormally. The interaction of two yangs scorches the body, leading to jaundice. Excess yang leads to epistaxis; yin deficiency leads to difficult urination. If both yin and yang are depleted, the body becomes dry. Only the head sweats, stopping at the neck. Abdominal distension, slight wheezing, dry mouth, rotting throat, constipation, prolonged delirium, severe cases may involve hiccups, restless limbs, and picking at clothes/bedding. If urine flows freely, it is treatable. If Guan Ge obstruction prevents urination and there is no head sweat, it is treatable; if there is head sweat, it is fatal. In dampness patients with joint pain, if purgation causes forehead sweating, slight wheezing, and free urination, death ensues; persistent diarrhea also leads to death. In dampness patients with head sweating who desire covering and warmth near fire, premature purgation causes hiccups, chest fullness, difficulty urinating, and a white tongue coating.
