After treating Taiyang disease (Taiyang disorder) with sweating therapy, the body and eyes turn yellow. The reason for this is that cold pathogen remains at the exterior while dampness lingers within, neither having been resolved. Since it is cold at the exterior and dampness within, leading to yellowing through stagnation and constraint, it differs from cases where heat-dampness stasis internally causes yellowing; therefore, purgative methods are contraindicated. One should seek treatment principles within the pattern of exterior cold and interior dampness: it is appropriate to release the exterior cold and promote diuresis to drain the interior dampness.

Yu Chang stated: After sweating therapy for Taiyang disease, the heat pathogen should be resolved. Why does the body and eyes then turn yellow? This occurs because cold and dampness bind and gather within the "shell" of the body (the superficial layers), causing yellowing. Here, "interior" refers generally to the inside, not implying that cold-dampness has deeply penetrated the Zang-Fu organs. The body and eyes belong to the shell, unrelated to the Zang-Fu. Treatment must be sought within the context of cold-dampness, specifically targeting the therapeutic approach for cold-dampness.
Cheng Yingmao stated: The patient inherently possesses dampness pathogen within. Although the exterior cold was addressed by sweating, it remains constrained by the interior dampness and cannot dissipate. The residual cold after sweating combines with dampness to stagnate and transform into heat, but this is not excess-heat; thus, purgatives are contraindicated. Treatment should still address the cold-dampness, adjusting based on whether the pathology is shallow or deep.

When stagnant heat in Taiyang disease resides within, the body will inevitably turn yellow; Ma Huang Lian Qiao Chi Xiao Dou Tang (Ephedra, Forsythia Root, and Red Bean Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation]
The exterior pathogen of Taiyang disease has not yet resolved, coinciding with the patient's inherent dampness in the Yangming channel. Heat enters the interior and combines with dampness; the steaming and stagnation of heat-dampness presses outward upon the muscle surface, causing the body to turn yellow. If the patient has sweat on the head, difficulty urinating, and normal bowel movements, one may use clearing heat, purging, or promoting urination methods to achieve recovery. However, in this case, there is no sweat and urination is free, indicating that the interior stagnant heat is not yet deep, but the exterior constraint is severe. Therefore, Ma Huang Lian Qiao Chi Xiao Dou Tang is used to release the exterior and expel dampness from within.

Yu Chang stated: The Taiyang pathogen, when encountering dampness, cannot circulate freely, causing heat to stagnate in the body and result in yellowing. If one rigidly interprets "interior," how could one treat the exterior when the pathogen is supposedly in the interior?
Cheng Yingmao stated: Cases of stagnant heat in the interior due to Taiyang disease arise from dampness steaming, inevitably causing yellowing. Since this stagnant heat is not deep, one should open the stagnation from the exterior side to disperse the heat-dampness; Ma Huang Lian Qiao Chi Xiao Dou Tang is the principal formula.
Lin Lan stated: Although this syndrome of Ma Huang Lian Qiao is described as "in the interior," it originates from a failure to resolve the pathogen while it was at the exterior. Even though yellowing has occurred, sweating and releasing the exterior should still be combined in treatment.
Wang Hu stated: Cold pathogen enters from outside; if it carries internal dampness to stagnate in the meridians, it transforms into heat through stagnation, causing jaundice of the body and eyes. This clause describes transmission from the Taiyang channel. Taiyang Taiyang disease typically requires Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). However, since the pathogen transmitted to Yangming and heat stagnated in the "interior," this "interior" does not refer to the Stomach Fu organ, but rather the interior of the Yangming channel relative to Taiyang, which is what *Shanglun Pian* calls the "interior of the shell." Because there is heat within, the formula uses Ma Huang Tang but removes Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) for its acrid-warm nature, adds Chi Xiao Dou (Adzuki Bean), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger), and Da Zao (Jujube) for their sweet-acrid properties to dispel exterior cold-dampness, and further adds Lian Qiao (Forsythia Fruit/Root) and Sheng Zi Bai Pi (Catalpa Bark) for their bitter-cold properties to clear stagnant heat in the muscle layer.
