[Analysis of the Formula]
This syndrome involves pathogens that are a mixture of Yin and Yang; this formula consists of herbs that mix purgative (attacking) and tonifying properties. Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) and Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) resolve the exterior pathogens that have not yet been fully dispersed; Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) attacks the interior heat that has already sunk inward; Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), and Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus) tonify deficiency and harmonize the Stomach; Fu Ling (Poria) and Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) promote water metabolism and direct rebellious Qi downward; Long Gu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi), Mu Li (Ostreae Concha), and Qian Dan (Plumbi Oxidum) possess astringent and heavy-sinking properties, calming fright, consolidating the Heart, and stabilizing the Spirit (Shen). Thus, this is using a mixed formula to treat a mixed disease.

In individuals who habitually sweat profusely (Han Jia), inducing severe sweating again will inevitably lead to mental confusion and restlessness (Huang Hu Xin Luan), and pain in the genitalia after urination. One should administer Yu Yu Liang Wan (Halloysitum Pill).
[Commentary]
Yu Yu Liang Wan is an astringent formula for dysentery, which does not match this syndrome. The five characters "administer Yu Yu Liang Wan" are likely interpolations (erroneous additions).
[Annotation]
"Han Jia" refers to individuals who habitually sweat. "Chong Fa Han" means inducing severe sweating. The Heart governs Blood, and sweat is the fluid of the Heart. Severe sweating causes significant damage to Blood, causing the Heart to lose its support; thus, there is mental confusion and restlessness. When fluids are exhausted below, the Zong Jin (tendons/genitals) lose nourishment, resulting in penile pain after urination.
[Collected Notes]
Fang Youzhi stated: The Heart governs Blood and houses the Spirit. Excessive sweating leads to Blood deficiency and an empty Heart chamber. Mental confusion arises because the Spirit scatters due to the emptiness of the chamber. The Yin refers to the Zong Jin. Pain results from fluid exhaustion and lack of nourishment.
Cheng Yingmao stated: The Heart governs Blood, and sweat is the Heart's fluid. In those who sweat excessively, Heart deficiency and Blood scarcity are evident. Inducing severe sweating further deprives the Heart of nourishment, leading to a scattered Spirit and palpitations, termed "confusion." The Small Intestine and Heart are exterior-interior pairs. If Heart fluids are deficient, Small Intestine fluids also dry up, causing genital pain after urination.

Individuals with a history of epistaxis (Nu Jia) must not be induced to sweat. If sweating occurs, it will inevitably lead to depression of the supraorbital region, urgent/tight pulse, staring eyes that cannot move, inability to blink, and insomnia.
[Annotation]
"Nu Jia" includes hematemesis. For those suffering from epistaxis or hematemesis, Yin Qi is suddenly depleted. If sweating is induced again, fluid exhaustion occurs, and all vessels lose nourishment. This leads to depression of the forehead corners, where the vessels are scorched by heat, becoming tight and urgent. "Staring eyes" means the eyes are fixed and unblinking. "Inability to blink" refers to the eyelids failing to close. These are caused by heat scorching the vessels, causing contraction. Insomnia occurs because Yang Qi cannot enter Yin. All these conditions represent critical syndromes of excess Yang and deficient Yin; who would say that individuals with a history of bleeding can be lightly induced to sweat?
[Collected Notes]
Yu Chang stated: The eyes see only when nourished by Blood; sweat is a form of blood fluid. In those with epistaxis, Clear Yang Qi is already injured. Further sweating causes the forehead to depress, reflecting depletion of the Upper Jiao. All vessels connect to the eye tendons; a tight pulse causes the eyes to stare upward and remain open. Open eyes prevent sleep. In Taiyang Shang Han, if irritability and eye dizziness occur, epistaxis is likely, and Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) should be used to induce sweating. Here, however, it warns against sweating in those with chronic blood loss to avoid exacerbating deficiency.
@@@
Individuals who have suffered blood loss (Wang Xue Jia) must not be induced to sweat. If sweating is induced, they will experience chills and tremors (Han Li Er Zhen).
[Annotation]
After any blood loss, before Qi and Blood recover, one must not induce sweating in these "Wang Xue Xu Jia" (deficient individuals due to blood loss). Initially, blood loss may involve Yang-Heat, but after blood loss, Heat leaves with the Blood, so Heat subsides. However, Qi follows Blood into loss, so Yang becomes precarious. If sweating is induced again, Yang Qi becomes severely deficient and unable to sustain itself, inevitably causing cold chills, trembling, and shaking. Inducing sweat in Yin-deficiency leads to Yin collapse (manifesting as inability to blink and insomnia); inducing sweat in Yang-deficiency leads to Yang collapse (manifesting as chills and tremors).
[Collected Notes]
Fang Youzhi stated: Blood loss implies prior Yin deficiency; inducing sweat further depletes Yang, causing chills and tremors.
Cheng Yingmao stated: Blood loss causes Yin deficiency, leaving Yang without support. Sweating causes Yang to escape outward, resulting in chills and tremors, indicating exhaustion of both Yin and Yang. When encountering indications for sweating, one must consider the Ying Blood of the Yin channels.
Wei Litong stated: Rather than rescuing Yang after sweat-induced Yang collapse, it is better to tonify Yin beforehand to secure Yang, preventing Yang collapse through sweating.
@@@
Individuals with dry throat (Yan Hou Gan Zao) must not be induced to sweat.
[Annotation]
Dry throat indicates insufficient Body Fluids (Jin Ye). Inducing sweating would further desiccate fluids; hence, it is prohibited. Even if other indications for sweating exist, sweating must not be induced.
[Collected Notes]
Fang Youzhi stated: Dry throat indicates chronic fluid deficiency rooted in Kidney Water insufficiency, as the Sha Yin (Lesser Yin) meridian circulates around the throat. Sweating causes further fluid loss.
Cheng Yingmao stated: In cases suitable for sweating, one must always consider the fluids of the Upper Jiao.
Zhang Lu stated: This clause differs from "obstruction in the throat." This warns against taking Yang Ming fluids via sweating; the other warns against taking Shao Yin Blood via sweating.
@@@
Individuals with strangury (Lin Jia) must not be induced to sweat. If sweating is induced, hematuria (blood in urine) will result.
[Annotation]
"Lin Jia" refers to diseases characterized by damp-heat accumulation in the Bladder, causing painful and difficult urination. If sweating is induced, dampness leaves with the sweat, but Heat remains alone. The Water House (Bladder) becomes depleted, forcing Blood from the meridian to exit via urination.
[Collected Notes]
Cheng Zhi stated: Heat in the Bladder causes strangury; further sweating dries the Bladder, leading to hematuria.
@@@
Individuals with sores and ulcers (Chuang Jia) who suffer body pain must not be induced to sweat. If sweating is induced, Jing Disease (spasm/convulsion) will develop.
[Annotation]
When sores first appear and toxic heat has not yet formed pus, sweating may be used to disperse. However, after ulceration, Qi and Blood are damaged. Even if body pain suggests an exterior syndrome requiring sweating, it must not be induced. Fearful that sweating depletes Ying and Wei Qi at the acupoints, allowing external Wind to invade. Even without external Wind, the tendons lose fluid nourishment, inevitably leading to neck stiffness and opisthotonos, forming Jing Disease.
[Collected Notes]
Yu Chang stated: Body pain indicates Cold injuring Ying Blood, typically treated with sweating. However, those with sores have weak exterior and hidden Ying Blood consumption. Sweating invites external Wind and fails to nourish internal Blood, leading to neck stiffness and opisthotonos. Jing Disease is also a Bladder disorder.

In Taiyang Shang Han (Cold Damage), applying warm needle therapy (Wen Zhen) will inevitably cause fright. If burning needles (Shao Zhen) are used to induce sweating, and the needle site is exposed to Cold, resulting in red nodules, Ben Tun (Running Piglet) syndrome will occur, characterized by Qi rushing from the lower abdomen to the Heart. First, moxa each nodule once (one Zhu), then administer Gui Zhi Jia Gui Tang (Cinnamon Twig Plus Cinnamon Decoction), increasing the amount of Gui Zhi.
[Annotation]
Applying warm needles to Taiyang Shang Han causes fright because the patient fears the sudden application of heat; it does not mean that warm needles invariably cause a fright pathology. Burning needles is a method to induce sweating. The needle site must be protected from Cold. If neglected, external Cold invades, Fire stagnates in the vessels, and Blood flow obstructs, forming red nodules. The fire from the warm needle creates red nodules, which are then invaded by Cold. Instead of resolving the pathogen, this attracts Yin pathogens. Since the Heart was frightened during needling, Kidney Yin takes advantage of Heart deficiency to overwhelm Heart Yang, triggering Ben Tun. Ben Tun is a Kidney Yin pathogen, manifesting as Qi rushing from the lower abdomen to the Heart. Moxa on the nodules expels external Cold externally; Gui Zhi Jia Gui Tang treats internally. Increasing Gui Zhi dosage attacks the Kidney pathogen internally.
