For patients suffering from dampness (Shi Bing), if purgation is mistakenly applied, and sweating on the forehead, slight wheezing, and free urination occur, it indicates a fatal prognosis. If diarrhea persists without stopping, it is also fatal.
Patients with Summerheat-Stroke (Zhong Ye) affecting the Taiyang channel present with body heat and heaviness/pain, along with a weak pulse. This condition is caused by consuming cold water or being exposed to cold water in summer, leading to water qi stagnating within the skin and interstices.
The pulse is soggy (Ru) and weak (Ruo). The weak pulse appears at the Guan position, while the soggy pulse appears at the Dian position (Cun/inch position). The faint (Wei) pulse appears at the upper positions, and the choppy (Se) pulse appears at the lower positions. A faint pulse indicates insufficiency of Yang Qi; a choppy pulse indicates lack of blood. With insufficient Yang Qi, wind-stroke leads to sweating, yet restlessness and irritability arise instead. Choppy pulse indicates lack of blood, leading to cold extremities (Jue) and chills. Applying diaphoresis when Yang Qi is faint causes restlessness and inability to sleep.
The pulse is soggy and weak. The weak pulse is at the Guan position, the soggy pulse at the Cun position. The wiry (Xian) pulse is at the upper position, and the faint pulse at the lower position. Wiry indicates abnormal movement of Yang; faint indicates Yin-cold. There is excess above and deficiency below, and the patient desires warmth. Faint and wiry indicate deficiency; diaphoresis is contraindicated. Diaphoresis will cause severe shivering and inability to recover.
With cold extremities and a tight (Jin) pulse, diaphoresis is contraindicated. Diaphoresis will cause voice disorder, hoarseness, tongue flaccidity, and inability to speak.
In severe coughing with frequent expectoration of saliva, dry throat, and dysuria, accompanied by hunger and irritability, occurring at fixed times resembling malaria but with chills rather than fever, this is deficiency-cold. Applying diaphoresis for coughing causes curling up, chest fullness, and abdominal hardness.
The pulse is soggy and weak. Weak at Guan, soggy at Cun. Faint at upper, choppy at lower. Faint indicates Yang insufficiency; choppy indicates blood deficiency. Yang deficiency with wind-stroke sweating leads to restlessness. Choppy indicates blood deficiency, causing cold extremities and chills. Purgation is contraindicated in Yang deficiency; it leads to epigastric stuffiness (Pi).
The pulse is soggy and weak. Weak at Guan, soggy at Cun. Wiry at upper, faint at lower. Wiry indicates Yang movement; faint indicates Yin-cold. Excess above, deficiency below, desiring warmth. Faint and wiry indicate deficiency; purgation is contraindicated in deficiency.
The pulse is soggy and weak. Weak at Guan, soggy at Cun. Floating (Fu) at upper, rapid (Shu) at lower. Floating indicates Yang deficiency; rapid indicates blood deficiency. Floating indicates deficiency, rapid generates heat. Deficiency leads to spontaneous sweating and aversion to cold; rapid indicates pain, tremors, and chills. Weakness at Guan causes urgency below the chest, panting, sweating, and difficulty breathing. Pain occurs during respiration. Chills and tremors resemble malaria. Mistaken purgation causes rapid pulse, fever, mania, hallucinations, epigastric stuffiness, dribbling urination, severe lower abdominal [symptom], and hematuria.
The pulse is soggy and tight. Soggy indicates deficient Wei Qi; tight indicates Cold in Ying. Yang deficiency and Wind in Wei cause fever and aversion to cold. Ying tightness and Stomach Cold cause mild vomiting and internal irritability. Misinterpreting this as excessive heat and inducing sweating leads to Yang collapse, deficiency-induced irritability, and hard epigastric stuffiness. Both exterior and interior are exhausted. Rising suddenly causes dizziness. External heat remains in the skin, causing insomnia. Ignoring the internal Cold at the Guan Yuan point renders treatment ineffective. Pouring cold water on the body temporarily suppresses external heat but causes severe chills. Covering with heavy blankets induces sweating and dizziness. Tremors persist. Urination becomes difficult. Cold pathogen triggered by water causes unformed stools, vomiting with evisceration, restlessness, cold extremities, and internal irritability. Delayed rescue cannot restore life.
The pulse is floating and large. Floating indicates Qi excess; large indicates Blood deficiency. Blood deficiency implies Yin deficiency. Solitary Yang descending into the Yin aspect should cause difficult, red urination and uterine emptiness. However, free urination and profuse sweating occur. The Wei Qi should be weak but appears replete. Fluids scatter, Ying and Blood are exhausted. Dry irritability and insomnia ensue. Blood thins, muscles waste, and sudden thirst develops. Using toxic drugs to attack the Stomach constitutes double deficiency. Departure of external Yang is imminent; death follows with stool like mud.
In Cold Damage, if the pulse is tight at all three positions with aversion to cold and fever, the pulse exhibits Jue characteristics: initially large, then small, then gradually large again. Severe aversion to cold presents with slight sweating and throat pain. Excessive heat presents with red eyes and dull vision. Further diaphoresis injures the throat. Further purgation closes the eyes. Cold predominance leads to unformed stools; heat predominance leads to pus and blood in stool. Moxibustion causes jaundice; cupping/warming causes dry throat. If urination is free, recovery is possible; if difficult, the condition is critical.
Cold damage with fever, breathlessness, headache, yellow eyes, and uncontrollable epistaxis. Those craving water vomit; those rejecting water have cold extremities. Purgation causes throat sores. If hands and feet are warm, tenesmus and bloody stools occur. Headache and yellow eyes worsen with purgation (eyes close). Craving water + purgation leads to Jue pulse, hoarse voice, and throat obstruction. Sweating causes tremors and dual deficiency. Rejecting water + purgation causes interior cold, anorexia, and undigested stools. Sweating causes mouth injury, white tongue coating, and irritability. Rapid, solid pulse with constipation for 6-7 days may lead to rectal bleeding. Sweating leads to free urination.
Faint pulse indicates cough with saliva expectoration. Purgation stops cough but causes persistent diarrhea. Persistent diarrhea causes chest discomfort like insect bites, regurgitation of food, dysuria, limb spasms, difficult breathing, neck/back牵引, arm numbness. Extreme cold with sweating and ice-cold body, dull eyes, incessant speech, and intake of food indicates Chu Zhong (extinction of stomach Qi). Though wanting to speak, the tongue cannot protrude.
Persistent rapid pulse that stops indicates pathogen accumulation and failure of Zheng Qi to recover. Pathogen floats with skin/hair. Rapid pulse contraindicates purgation; purgation causes irritability and persistent diarrhea.
Cold damage with fever, headache, and slight sweating. Diaphoresis causes confusion. Moxibustion causes wheezing, urinary retention, and abdominal fullness. Purgation causes shortness of breath, difficult urination, headache, and stiff back. Warm needle therapy causes epistaxis.
Diarrhea with a large pulse indicates deficiency due to forced purgation. If the pulse is floating and革 (Ge), with borborygmus, it belongs to Danggui Sini Decoction.
