In cases of sudden cold extremities and abrupt syncope, administer Suheli Wan (Suheli Pill) immediately, mixed with strong ginger decoction for forced feeding. This opens the blocked orifices. After the patient regains consciousness, differentiate between Cold, Heat, Yin Jue (Cold Extremity Syndrome), and Yang Jue (Heat Extremity Syndrome), and treat accordingly using tonification or purgation methods; this is the most crucial principle. A slight error in differentiating Yin and Yang can easily lead to death. In cases of deep heat causing Yang Jue, do not mistake it for Yin Jue and treat with hot-natured medicines, as this will deplete essence and cause death. Urgently use Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) or Xiaochengqi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction), treating according to the severity of the condition.
For Yin Jue caused by deep-seated cold, urgently treat with Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction), Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction), and similar formulas. For severe cases, moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV-4) and Shenque (CV-8) with one hundred moxa cones each is necessary to restore Yang Qi.
For deficiency of Qi, Si Junzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) is the primary formula. If accompanied by cold body temperature, Bawei Shunqi San (Eight-Flavor Regulating Qi Powder) or Tiaoyuan San (Regulate Origin Powder) may be used. If phlegm is also present, Sizhi Daotan Tang (Four Seven Phlegm-Resolving Decoction) is indicated.
For deficiency of Blood, Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) is the primary formula. If blood stasis is due to Qi stagnation, Baiwei Tang (Baiwei Decoction) is used. For postpartum blood stasis, add Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi) and Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) as main ingredients.
For Phlegm Jue, Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) is the primary formula. For severe cases, add Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Rhizoma Juice) and Zhuli (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia). For Cold Phlegm or Damp Phlegm, or cases of sudden chest oppression and urgency, Xingxiang Jiangfu Tang (Arisaema, Amber, Ginger, and Aconite Decoction) should be used with discretion.
Hui Jue (Roundworm Jue) is generated by Stomach Cold. The Classics state: "Roundworms are long parasites." Stomach cold causes vomiting of roundworms. Lizhong Tang added with five grains of Chuanjiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium) and two grams of Binglang (Arecae Semen), taken together with Wumei Wan (Mume Pill), is effective. This is because roundworms lower their heads when they see pepper.
Suheli Wan (Formula seen in Stroke Section) treats abrupt syncope with loss of consciousness. Before differentiating Wind, Heat, Phlegm, or Fire, first administer this medicine, dissolved in ginger juice and Yang-restoring agents for feeding. After waking, differentiate pulse and symptoms, and treat with specific medications.
Gudisan (Melon Seed Powder) (Formula seen in Wind Section) treats contraindications in various Jue syndromes; first induce sneezing by insufflating into the nose.
(When both hands and feet are hot.)
Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) treats Jue caused by accumulated heat and extreme Yang resembling Yin; purgation is also applicable.
Xiaochengqi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) Bahtu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) (Both formulas seen in Cold Damage Section).
(When both hands and feet are cold.)
Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) treats deep-cold Yin Jue, with cold extremities, cyanotic lips, spontaneous diarrhea, and a faint, slow pulse.
Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction) (Both seen in Cold Damage Section).
(If there is external invasion by evil qi, or excessive stagnant phlegm-fire, involving phlegm-fire, treat from Phlegm Jue.)
Zhang Zhongjing said: "In Shi Jue (Corpse Jue), the pulse moves but there is no breath; Qi is blocked and cannot flow, hence the patient appears still and dead."
Tiaoqi Pingwei San (Regulate Qi and Calm Stomach Powder) treats abrupt onset of Shi Jue. Caused by touching evil qi, resulting in dizziness, abrupt collapse, and loss of consciousness.
