证
痼冷者，谓痼久而冷也。痼者，固也；冷者，寒之甚也。人之脏腑禀受不同，亦或将理失宜，遂致偏废，
故方中有痼冷、积热之说。痼冷，中寒也。其病多由真阳虚弱，胃气不实，复啖生冷冰
雪、水酪诸寒之物，或坐卧阴寒久湿之地，以致脏腑久痼而冷。其为病也，或手足厥冷；或腹中久痛，溏泄
无度；或腰腿重痛，如坐水中；或阴痿不举，寒精自出；或久呕逆，饮食不进；或自汗战
栗；或大腑洞泄；或小便频数。此皆痼冷之为病也。
治
治之之法，宜温补下元，健脾养胃，祛寒邪，固真气，使阳气得复，阴阳平和，则无偏胜之患而病愈矣。
凡脱阳症，或因大吐大泻之后，四肢逆冷，元气不接，人事不
省；或伤寒新瘥，误与女人交接。其症小腹紧痛，外肾拳缩，面
黑气喘，冷汗自出，是名脱阳证，须臾不救。急用葱烫法，更灸气海（在脐下一寸五分）、关元（在脐下二寸）
各五十壮，内服姜附汤、五积散之类。然后可服黑锡丹，或灸男左女右中指一壮，再灸关元穴七壮。
凡阴证身静而重，语言无声，气喘难以喘息，目睛不了了，口鼻气冷，水浆不入，大小便不禁，面上
恶寒，有如刀刮，先用葱熨法，次服四逆汤。

[Symptoms]
Guleng (Chronic Cold Syndrome) refers to a condition characterized by long-standing duration and severe cold pathogen. "Gu" implies solidification or intractability; "Leng" signifies extreme cold. Human viscera have different congenital endowments, and improper nursing care can lead to imbalance and dysfunction. Therefore, medical texts mention the concepts of "Guleng" (Chronic Cold) and "Jire" (Accumulated Heat). Guleng is synonymous with Zhonghan (Cold Strike). This disease often arises from deficiency of Zhenyang (True Yang) and weakness of Weiqi (Stomach Qi), compounded by the consumption of raw, cold, ice, snow, water, or dairy products, or prolonged sitting/lying in damp, cold environments, causing chronic cold accumulation in the viscera. Clinical manifestations include: cold extremities (Shouzu Jueleng); chronic abdominal pain with profuse diarrhea (Tangxie Wudu); heavy and painful waist and legs, as if sitting in water; impotence (Yinwei Buju) with spontaneous emission of cold semen; chronic vomiting and regurgitation with inability to eat; spontaneous sweating with shivering (Zihan Zhanli); projectile diarrhea (Dafu Dongxie); frequent urination (Xiaobian Pinsu). These are all symptoms of Guleng syndrome.
[Treatment Principles]
The treatment principle is to warm and tonify the Xiayuan (Lower Origin/Kidney and Mingmen), strengthen the Spleen and nourish the Stomach, dispel cold pathogens, and consolidate True Qi. This restores Yang Qi and harmonizes Yin and Yang, preventing excess or deficiency imbalances, thereby curing the disease.
Tuoyang Syndrome (Yang Collapse) may occur after severe vomiting and diarrhea, presenting with cold extremities, disconnected Yuan Qi (Primal Qi), and loss of consciousness. It may also result from sexual intercourse shortly after recovering from Shanghan (Cold Damage). Symptoms include tight and painful lower abdomen, retraction of the external genitalia (Waiquan Juansuo), black complexion, panting, and spontaneous cold sweat. This is named Tuoyang Syndrome; without immediate rescue, death may occur within moments. Emergency treatment involves Congyun Fa (Scallion Moxibustion/Warming), followed by moxibustion on Qihai (CV6, 1.5 cun below the umbilicus) and Guanyuan (CV4, 2 cun below the umbilicus), 50 moxa cones each. Internally administer Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction) or Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder). Subsequently, Heixi Dan (Black Tin Pill) may be taken, or moxibustion applied to the middle finger (left for males, right for females) once, followed by seven cones on Guanyuan.
For Yin Syndromes, symptoms include stillness and heaviness of the body, silent speech, dyspnea with difficulty breathing, blurred vision (Mujing Buliao), cold breath from mouth and nose, inability to take fluids, incontinence of urine and feces, and facial aversion to cold feeling like knife scraping. First apply Congyun Fa, then administer Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction).
