[Zhang Yuansu] In the attack and eruption of cold damage (Shanghan) involving exterior and interior, if there are exterior symptoms such as aversion to wind and aversion to cold, one should employ the method of releasing the exterior. (Haizang said: For aversion to wind, use Baizhu San; for aversion to cold, use Shenzhu Tang.) If qi is abundant, appetite is good, there is constipation, and no exterior symptoms exist, one may purge the interior excess. Spring governs growth and belongs to Wood. The body feels warm; sweating should be induced. (Haizang said: Shenzhu Tang.) Summer governs flourishing and belongs to Fire. The body is hot with restlessness; a strong diaphoretic treatment is combined. (Haizang said: Shenzhu Tang plus Huangqin Decoction.) Late summer governs transformation and belongs to Earth, similar to the transition periods between seasons; dietary regulation should be employed. (Haizang said: Sijunzi Tang.) Autumn governs gathering and belongs to Metal. The body feels cool internally warm; mild purgation is appropriate. (Haizang said: Tongge Wan, Jinhua Wan.) Winter governs storage and belongs to Water. Body heat with aversion to cold indicates heat on the exterior and cold in the interior; body coldness with aversion to heat indicates heat in the interior and cold on the exterior. (Haizang said: For heat in the interior, use Tiaowei Chengqi Tang; for cold in the interior, use Tiaozhong Tang/Wan.)
[Zhang Yuansu] Generally, for cold damage, treatment methods should be applied according to the four seasons, the ascending and descending of yin and yang, and their reversal, smoothness, rigidity, and softness. When qi ascends and floats, it should be diffused along its course; when qi stores and collects, it should be directed downward. With sweating, fever, aversion to wind, and a floating-slow pulse, wind has injured the Wei (Defensive) level; Guizhi Tang is used. Without sweating, with fever, aversion to cold, spontaneous aversion to cold even without exposure to wind, and a floating-tight pulse, cold has injured the Ying (Nutritive) level; Mahuang Tang is used. With sweating, fever, aversion to wind, and a floating-tight pulse; or without sweating, with fever, aversion to cold, and a floating-slow pulse, this is called simultaneous injury to Ying and Wei; Qinglong Guizhi Mahuang Gehan Tang is used. Without sweating, with fever but no aversion to wind or cold, and a deep-rapid pulse, purgation is possible. One must further carefully distinguish the presence or absence of cold extremities and treat based on the depth and severity of cold and heat. With sweating, cold extremities, and a deep-micro pulse, it is named Yin Jue (Yin Cold Extremity); Sini Tang is used. Without sweating, with cold extremities and a deep-micro pulse, it is named Yang Jue (Yang Cold Extremity); Dachengqi Tang plus Nifen is used. If extremities are not cold, the body is hot, both interior and exterior belong to Yang, and the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is not disturbed, cooling medicines should be taken for three to five doses: Huangqin Gancao Tang, Huangqin Baizhu Tang, Huangqin Cangzhu Tang, Huangqin Zhizi Tang, Lianqiao Yinzi, Xiaochaihu Tang, Bazheng San, Liangge San, Baihu Tang, Wuhuang San. These are medicines for the upper, middle, and lower Sanjiao, which should be selected appropriately. For heatstroke with a deficient pulse, all presenting with aversion to cold, spontaneous sweating, and thirst, Baihu Tang is used. If the body is cool with a tight pulse and heat is in the interior, urgent purgation is required; symptoms include dry mouth and throat, and constipation. Without sweating, with high body heat, sweating can be induced using Shengma Tang, Daqing Gao, or Tianma Gao. With sweating, with high body heat, Guizhi Tang, Xingxing San, Jiexi Tang, Xiaochaihu Tang, or Baizhu Fangfeng Tang can be selected. For inducing sweating, one must consider the warmth, heat, dryness, dampness, wind, and cold of the four seasons, and induce sweating according to the principles of spring coolness, summer coldness, autumn warmth, and winter heat.
[Qian Yi] Wind injury with drowsiness, hot breath from the mouth, yawning, and restlessness should be treated by dispersing the exterior, giving Daqing Gao. This is an exterior syndrome. (Jiegu's Supplement says: When children are externally affected by wind and cold, presenting with stiffness, yawning, restlessness, rough skin and hair, and hot breath, the exterior should be dispersed. Use warm-hot medicines in autumn and winter, and cool-cold medicines in spring and summer.)
Daqing Gao
Tianma (1 qian), Baifuzi (raw, 1.5 qian), Xiewei (de-venomed, raw, 0.5 qian), Zhusha (ground, one character spoonful), Qingdai (1 qian, ground), Tianzhuhuang (one character spoonful, ground), Shexiang (one character spoonful), Wushaoshe Rou (soaked in wine, baked dry, powdered, 0.5 liang).
Grind all together into fine powder, mix with raw honey to form a paste. Each dose is half the size of a soap bean or one soap bean. For infants under one month, the size of a rice grain, mixed with Niuhuang Gao and mint water to dissolve and administer. For those over five years old, take with Ganlu San.
Xionghuang Gao Treats wind injury with warm-high fever and excessive drinking.
Xionghuang (size of a small date, ground, boiled until liquid is absorbed in radish root water and vinegar, 1 large cup), Gancao Powder, Chuantianxiao (each 3 qian), Hanshuishi (ground fine, 5 character spoonfuls), Naobi (one character spoonful), Zhusha (0.5 fen).
Grind evenly, refine with honey to form a paste. Dissolve half a soap bean size in mint soup.
The aforementioned Daqing Gao is designed for children under three years old who cannot speak, to disperse drowsiness, hot breath, yawning, restlessness, and exterior syndromes.
[Huoyou Xinshu] For ordinary wind-phlegm obstruction with fever, runny nose, phlegmy cough, and thirst, Xingxing San is the main prescription. (Formula seen in Malaria section.)
[Wang Haicang] For cold damage, seasonal epidemic, wind-heat, phlegm obstruction with cough, and disharmony of qi, add Xixin, Gualou, and Jiegeng (each 1 fen) to Sijunzi Tang, decoct with Shengjiang and Bohe. Or add Fangfeng and Chuanxiong (each 1 fen). If there is internal cold, or in cold weather requiring exterior dispersion, remove Gualou and add Jiegeng. For frequent deficiency sweating and night crying, add Maidong. For wind injury with body heat, headache, and rapid breathing, add Chuanxiong and Fangfeng in equal parts to Sijunzi Tang, reduce Xixin and Qianghuo by half, and decoct together.
[Huoyou Xinshu] For throat discomfort and phlegm-excess cough, Niuzibang Zi Tang is used.
[Pang Anchang] Renshen Qianghuo San treats pediatric cold pathogen, plague qi and seasonal epidemics, rash, headache and body pain, high fever, excessive sleepiness and muteness, tidal fever with irritability and thirst, and phlegm-excess cough.
Qianghuo, Duhuo, Chaihu, Renshen, Chuanxiong, Zhike (stir-fried), Gancao (honey-fried, each 2 liang), Qianhu, Jiegeng, Tianma (wine-soaked, fried), Digupi (each 0.5 liang), Baifuling (peeled, 2 liang).
Pulverize. Each dose 2 qian, decoct with 1 cup water and a little Bohe, strain and take warm, at any time.
Qibao San treats seasonal epidemics, dizziness and body heat. Children take it with their nursing mothers; adults may also take it.
Zisuye, Xiangfu (stir-fried, each 3 liang), Chenpi, Gancao (honey-fried), Jiegeng, Baizhi, Chuanxiong (each 1 liang).
Cut into pieces, decoct with Shengjiang and Dazao.
[Wang Haicang] Mahuang Huangqin Tang treats pediatric cold damage without sweating, headache, body heat, and aversion to cold.
Mahuang, Chishao, Huangqin (0.5 liang), Gancao, Guizhi (each 2.5 qian).
Make into coarse powder, decoct with water and take.
Shengma Huangqin Tang treats wind injury with sweating, headache, fever, and aversion to wind.
Shengma, Gegen, Huangqin, Shaoyao (each 5.5 qian), Gancao (1.5 qian).
Cut into pieces, each dose 2 qian, decoct with water and take warm.
The aforementioned Xingxing San and other medicines are designed for children over three years old who can speak, to disperse headache, fever, and aversion to wind/cold exterior syndromes. Since they can speak, headache and aversion to wind/cold can be known through inquiry. The first five formulas generally treat sweating/no sweating, aversion to wind/aversion to cold; the fifth formula treats no sweating with aversion to cold; the sixth formula treats sweating with aversion to wind.
[Qian Yi] If Daqing Gao does not resolve the condition and there are signs for purgation, purge using Dahuang Wan. For high fever, incessant drinking, and good appetite, mild purgation is allowed; otherwise, do not purge. (This is an interior syndrome. Jiegu's Supplement says: For high fever, drinking, good appetite, and constipation, use Dahuang Wan as a powder. If stool and urine are normal, strictly avoid reckless purgation, lest external heat drives inward causing Jie Xiong [chest binding], leading to many critical conditions.)
Dahuang Wan Treats wind-heat interior excess, hot breath, dark and constipated stool, incessant drinking, and signs for purgation.
Chuanxiong (0.5 liang), Heiqianniu (0.5 liang, half raw half stir-fried), Dahuang (1 liang, steamed in wine), Gancao (2.5 qian, honey-fried).
Make into fine powder, bind with thin starch paste into pills the size of sesame seeds. Two-year-olds take 10 pills each time with warm honey water after milk feeding. Stop when loose stools occur; if not, increase pill count.
[Huoyou Xinshu] For forehead pain, body fever, yellow-red stool, and abdominal heat, Sishun San, Lianqiao Yin, and Sanhuang Wan are used. (Sishun Yin, Lianqiao Yin, Sanhuang Wan are seen in the Rash section.) For tidal fever, dizzy/head pain, mental restlessness, red urine, and constipation, this is severe heat; Xixin San and Tiaowei Chengqi Tang are used. (Xixin San is seen in the Rash section.)
For forehead and body warmth, white and sour-smelling stool, indicating food stagnation in the stomach, Shuangsheng Wan is used. (Formula seen in Food Stagnation section.)
[Zhang Yuansu] If there is no significant heat on the body surface but urination is difficult, it is damp-heat binding in the Bladder. Continue using damp-dispelling medicines like Baizhu and Fuling to promote urination, then the heat will subside naturally.
[Pang Anchang] For pediatric cold damage with irritability and heat, red and scanty urine, brown stool, and red-hot face, Daochi San is used.
[Qian Yi] Wind injury affecting viscera: affecting Heart leads to palpitations and fright; affecting Lung leads to chest oppression, panting, choking gasps, long sighs, and cough; affecting Kidney leads to photophobia. Treat by tonifying the mother organ, as these are manifestations of visceral deficiency.
Wind injury with cold hands and feet indicates Spleen deficiency. First harmonize the Spleen, then disperse the exterior. Harmonize Spleen: Yihuang San; Disperse Exterior: Daqing Gao. (This treats Yin Jue with sweating and deep-micro pulse. If Yang Jue without sweating and deep-slippery pulse, this method is unsuitable; use Dachengqi Tang plus Nifen.)
Wind injury with spontaneous diarrhea indicates Spleen deficiency and timidity. Tonify the Spleen, then disperse the exterior. Tonify Spleen: Yihuang San; Disperse Exterior: Daqing Gao. If not cured, use Tiaozhong Wan. If signs for purgation exist, purge with Dahuang Wan, then take Wenjing Wan.
Wind injury with abdominal distension indicates Spleen deficiency. Tonify the Lung (ensure no wheezing), then disperse the exterior, and still tonify the Spleen. Remove distension: Taqi Wan; Disperse Exterior: Daqing Gao.
Wind injury with vomiting and diarrhea. (Treatment seen in Vomiting/Diarrhea section. For vomiting/diarrhea, use Yihuang San, Baizhu San; for dispersing exterior, use Daqing Gao.)
[Tang Shi] Treats cold damage complicated by fright, where extreme heat generates wind, Bohe San is used.
Bohe Ye (0.5 liang), Qianghuo, Quanxie, Mahuang (remove joints), Gancao (0.5 fen), Tianzhuhuang, Jiangcan, Baifuzi (fried, each 1 fen).
Make into fine powder. Each dose 1 qian, decoct with half a small cup water to one-third volume, add a little Zhuli (bamboo sap) for best effect.
[Pang Anchang] When children have exterior cold damage, skin pores close causing heat. If severe, wind generates, leading to fright and convulsions. Blood and qi are not yet solid, unable to overcome pathogens, hence convulsions occur. If bowel movements and urination are normal, and breath is hot, the exterior should be dispersed using Daqing Gao.
If Lung is excessive and exposed to wind-cold, chest fullness, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, wheezing cough, and upward rushing qi occur. First disperse Lung, then disperse wind-cold. Disperse Lung: Xiebai San; Disperse Wind: Daqing Gao. If only cold damage, there is no chest fullness.
Kidney deficiency leads to photophobia; use Bushen Dihuang Wan. (If exterior signs exist, occasionally use Daqing Gao to disperse.)
Wind injury with deficiency heat after purgation, caused by excessive purging, results in stomach deficiency heat and inability to drink water effectively. Generate stomach fluids by taking more Baizhu San. For children with internal heat binding, dry mouth/thirst, yellow body, and heavy weight, Baizhu San is suitable.
[Tang Shi] For cold damage with thirst, Baihu Tang is suitable.
[Zhang Yuansu] For high fever, drinking, good appetite, and constipation, use Dahuang Wan as a powder.
The above three formulas: Baizhu San treats deficiency thirst, designed for those with reduced appetite and stomach deficiency after purgation; Baihu Tang and Dahuang Wan treat excess thirst, designed for those who have not been purged, have good appetite, and constipation.
[Zhang Yuansu] Cold damage with cough and spitting clear fluid, choking gasps, and long sighs indicates Lung insufficiency. Aojiao San should be used. If the face is pale like withered bone, it is incurable death. For body heat, cough, and spitting phlegm, Pianyin Wan should be used. (Formula seen in Cough section.)
The above two formulas treat cough: Aojiao San treats deficiency cough, designed for those with choking gasps and long sighs; Pianyin Wan treats excess cough, designed for those with heavy phlegm and wheezing/fullness.
If there are exterior symptoms with aversion to wind/cold and cough, use Xingxing San, Modified Sijunzi Tang, or Niuzibang Zi Tang.
Yin Jue, Yang Jue. (See General Principles section.)
[Zhang Yuansu] For high body heat and incessant vomiting/regurgitation, Fuling Banxia Tang is used. (Also known as Xiao Banxia plus Fuling Tang, see Vomiting section.)
[Tang Shi] For cold damage with vomiting, Zhike Banxia Tang.
Zhike, Banxia (each 0.5 liang).
Decoct 1 cup water with 10 slices of ginger to half a cup. Divide into 5 doses for children under ten years old.
Huoxiang Zhengqi San treats cold damage with vomiting.
Huoxiang Ye, Houpo (processed), Banxia (processed), Gancao (honey-fried), Chenpi, Cangzhu (soaked/washed in rice water, equal parts).
Cut into pieces. Each dose 2 qian, decoct with half cup water, 3 slices ginger, 1 jujube, to two-fifths volume, strain and take warm.
[Zhang Yuansu] For severe vomiting, purge using Baixia Zi, Zhenzhu Wan, Xiaoji Wan. (All three formulas seen in Mass section.) For tidal fever, occasional chest fullness and shortness of breath, and vomiting, Taozhi Wan is used. (Formula seen in Pediatric Accumulation Heat section.)
The above seven formulas treat cold damage vomiting. The first two treat vomiting due to phlegm-fluid retention; the middle one treats vomiting with exterior signs; the latter four treat vomiting with interior signs. Taozhi Wan treats vomiting due to interior heat; the remaining two treat vomiting due to exterior cold.
[Tang Shi] For cold damage with spontaneous sweating, tonify deficiency and harmonize yin and yang. Use Xiaojianzhong Tang minus Guizhi, plus Huangqi, Renshen, and Shudi.
Huangqi (1 liang), Shaoyao (3 liang), Gancao, Renshen, Shudi (each 0.5 liang).
Cut into pieces. Each dose 2 qian, decoct with half cup water to one-third volume, strain and take.
Pediatric cold damage signs/symptoms: Headache, body pain, nasal congestion or runny nose, wheezing in throat, surging-rapid pulse in both wrists, red cheeks and dry eyes, goosebumps on body, fluid from mouth/nose, red/yellow eyes, dry/stiff mouth, cough, blue color at Shan Gen (root of nose), sneezing.
[Huoyou Xinshu] For head/eye pain, fear of people, and aversion to cold, this is a cold damage syndrome.
[Pang Anchang] Even if children suddenly present with high fever, aversion to cold, cold limbs, or cold ears/buttocks, and hot nasal breath, resembling exterior cold damage, this is actually Maculae/Rash (Ban Zhen). This is the initial onset of fetal qi manifesting from inside out. Treating it identically to exterior cold damage is an error; it should be treated as Maculae/Rash.
