[Formula Song] Jinhou Feng (Tight Throat Wind) is formed by wind and fire due to excessive consumption of rich foods; it presents with swelling and pain in the throat, difficulty in speaking, a rattling sound like sawing wood due to phlegm obstruction, and needling Shaoshang (LU11) acupoint to induce vomiting and purgation.

[Annotation] This syndrome arises from excessive intake of rich and greasy foods, leading to accumulation of heat in the Lung and Stomach, compounded by external pathogenic wind. Wind-heat intertwine and obstruct upward at the throat, causing ulceration, pain, hoarseness or loss of voice, inability to swallow fluids, and a rattling sound from phlegm-saliva obstruction resembling sawing wood. The onset is sudden and rapid. Immediately needle the Shaoshang (LU11) acupoint located on the medial side of the thumb to release dark purple-black blood, thereby draining heat. If phlegm is profuse, use Tongyou Qian (Camellia Oil Probe) to induce vomiting. After expectoration, rinse the mouth with Gancao Tang (Licorice Decoction) to neutralize the toxicity of camellia oil. Internally administer Xionghuang Jiedu Wan (Realgar Detoxification Pill) to induce vomiting and purgation. Blow Baixue Sang San (White Snow Powder) into the throat. After the glottis opens, internally administer Qingyan Lige Tang (Throat-Clearing and Diaphragm-Relieving Decoction). Treatment according to these methods yields immediate results in favorable cases (Shun); conversely, cyanotic complexion, black lips, and cold rhinorrhea indicate unfavorable prognosis (Ni). If accompanied by circumferential swelling around the neck, it is named Chantou Feng (Coiling Throat Wind). Although its treatment method is similar to this syndrome, it remains dangerous and difficult to cure.
