If the macules/rash remain hidden and do not emerge, or emerge and then disappear, and the previous formula fails to push out the toxin, use about two liang of Yuanxu (Coriandri Fructus), decocted in a mixture of water and wine. Dip Ramie root (Zhumagen) into the medicinal wine to dab, wipe, and fumigate the affected area; this may also be effective.

Powder for blowing into the throat for epidemic sore throat with ulceration: Xihuang (Moschus, 0.2 fen) Zhenzhu (Margarita, 0.6 fen) Hupo (Succinum, 0.5 fen) Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis, 0.8 fen) Biqian (Cella Oecobi, five pieces) Zhijia (Unguis Humanus, 0.5 fen) Xiangyaxie (Dentale Elephantis, 0.8 fen) Mabo (Pleuroti Fructus, 0.3 fen) Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum, 0.1 fen). Grind all into a fine powder. This can be blown into the throat for any throat condition.

Chen Shigong said: Although the throat and pharynx belong to the Lung, the causes of disease vary, divided into deficiency fire and excess fire, and there are distinctions between Zi Hou (Purple Throat) and Man Hou (Diffuse Throat). The pharynx is the gate for respiration of the Heart, Lung, Liver, and Kidney, and the pathway for food intake and voice production; it relates to the whole body and causes rapid harm. Deficiency fire presents with pale color, slight swelling, subtle pulse, clear urine, and normal stool. This results from excessive worry leading to Middle Qi deficiency, where Spleen Qi fails to transform properly, allowing deficiency fire to easily flare upward. Symptoms include dryness of the throat and pharynx, difficulty swallowing, coughing up saliva, breathing difficulties, tongue coating resembling moss, feeling like frog skin or thatch scratching the throat, sensation of a hard object stuck in the pharynx, vomiting sour water, belching sweet saliva, white tongue coating, alum-colored lips, hoarseness, asthma with much phlegm. All these symptoms stem from deficiency fire and insufficient Yuan Qi. Treatment must not mistakenly use cold/cooling herbs. Pain in the morning indicates Qi deficiency; use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Decoction for Replenishing the Middle and Augmenting Qi) plus Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix). Pain in the afternoon indicates Yin deficiency; use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex). If ineffective, add Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) as guides; this is the method of assisting treatment. Excess fire arises from accumulation of heat from strong alcohol and pungent/spicy foods in the interior; over time, fire moves and phlegm generates, causing throat swelling. Severe cases involve wind-phlegm blocking upward, closing the throat, preventing intake of fluids and speech within moments; this is Hou Bi (Throat Obstruction) or Jin Hou Feng (Tight Throat Wind). If medication is delayed, first puncture the throat to release toxic blood, then use a chicken feather dipped in tung oil to induce vomiting of thick phlegm, ensuring all phlegm-toxin is expelled until the throat opens, allowing medicine and speech. Internally administer Qingyan Lige Tang (Decoction for Clearing the Throat and Purging the Diaphragm) to disperse residual toxins. For locked jaw making oral administration difficult, first puncture Shaoshang (LU-11) acupoint to bleed; the lock will open spontaneously. If no blood comes but yellow fluid appears upon puncture, and no phlegm is induced by vomiting, with sound like sawing wood, nasal flaring, panting with phlegm, inability to swallow or speak, this is a true death sign, untreatable.

Qi Tianshi said: When deficiency fire boils in the throat and teeth, cold herbs provide brief relief but worsen shortly after. Further use of cold herbs causes diarrhea and abdominal pain while upper heat intensifies. Patients distrust using hot herbs due to fear of cold drinks and refuse mild treatment. Instead, use external methods to guide the fire down for cure. Use one Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) ground into powder, mixed with vinegar into a paste, applied to Yongquan (KI-1) acupoint. After a short time, fire energy subsides, heat stops, and the area becomes cool. Then administer a large dose of Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) to prevent fire from boiling again. This fire is like thunder-fire; seeing water makes it fiercer. Have you not seen thunder during heavy rain? It shakes heaven and earth with greater force, but when the sun shines, rain stops and silence returns. Have you not observed winter? Severe cold, frost, snow, and gloomy weather occur when heavenly qi descends and earthly qi rises; thus, lower cold leads to upper cold. Have you not observed summer? Intense heat steams, scorching wood and burning forests; heavenly qi rises and earthly qi descends, resulting in upper heat and lower cold. Human deficiency fire is similar. Since fire floats upward, the lower part becomes cold. Using the hot herb Fu Zi to guide from Yongquan works because although Yongquan is a water point, fire exists within the water. Fire nature is to flare upward, but the point is cold; suddenly receiving fire causes water to boil, warming the water lowers the fire. Similar energies interact and return to their origin. Once fire returns to its residence, how can it boil in the sky? This sudden elimination of fire in the throat and teeth has a miraculous effect unknown to the patient. This clever guiding treatment demonstrates the external method of "Guiding Fire Back to its Source."

Feng Luzhan said: The throat is a vital passage for food and drink. If heat-toxin accumulates in the chest and diaphragm, generating wind-phlegm obstruction without dispersing, it causes throat diseases, such as internal ulcers resembling rotting flesh, blocking passage, preventing swallowing, like Single Meat Moth (Dan Ru E), Double Meat Moth (Shuang Ru E), or swollen cheeks. Severe cases swell internally and externally, attacking the head and face. Treatment should first induce vomiting of wind-phlegm to clear the throat and diaphragm, then resolve heat-toxin and clear Lung/Stomach. Delay leads to death.

Sore throat and throat pain mostly belong to deficiency fire. Blood deficiency allows deficiency fire to wander uncontrollably and lodge in the throat. For deficiency, use Bawei Dihuang Tang (Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Decoction) plus Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) and Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), decocted and taken cold before meals. For excess, hold in mouth黄连 (Coptidis Rhizoma), Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), Ginger juice, and salt. For throat pain, use Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba). For Yin deficiency with fire flaming upward, Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix) is essential; some use Qiancao (Rubiae Cordifoliae Radix) one liang per dose to descend fire in the blood.

The larynx (Hou) and pharynx (Yan) differ. The larynx is the gateway of the Lung for respiration, governing exit but not entry. The pharynx is the pathway of the Stomach for food and drink, governing entry but not exit. Together they govern respiration and ascending/descending, acting as the critical bellows of the body. The Classics state: Diseases of Foot-Shaoyin include thirst, dry tongue, sore throat, swollen throat, rising Qi, and dryness of the throat. Suwen says: Pathogens invading the collateral of Foot-Shaoyin cause sore throat and inability to eat. Also, the collateral of Foot-Shaoyin runs through the throat to the root of the tongue. All throat pains are Shaoyin diseases, differing in cold/heat and deficiency/excess. Shaoyin fire rushes like a horse, counter-flowing upward to the tight lock of the throat, where Qi stagnates and cannot relax, causing swelling or pain. Symptoms include internal heat, dry mouth, surging phlegm-saliva, and a rapid yet weak Chi pulse. This stems from Kidney Water depletion and uncontrolled Ministerial Fire. Use Liuwei Dihuang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Decoction) with Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) and Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) in large doses as a decoction. For those with excessive sexual activity depleting Yuan Yang, causing rootless fire to wander and lodge in the throat, use Bawei Shenqi Wan (Eight-Ingredient Kidney Qi Pill) decocted in large doses, cooled before drinking, to guide fire back to its source; this may save them. This treats Yin-deficiency throat pain, following Chu Shi's principle of treating upper disease by addressing the lower.

When Yin Qi is severely deficient and deficiency fire uncontrolled, solitary Yang flies away, lodging in the throat causing pain. Pulse is floating and large, but deep pressure reveals choppy quality. Near death. Use Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) alone, decocted strongly, sipped slowly. If treated as excess with clearing/descending herbs, disaster follows instantly. Some say Ren Shen must be processed with child's urine and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), decocted warm and taken at once before meals to control deficiency fire and guide it downward. Using Ren Shen alone sipped slowly may intensify floating fire, which is unsafe. Yet people only know hot throat pain, not cold throat pain. The Classics state: When Taiyang is in the fountain, excessive cold causes people to suffer sore throat and swollen chin. Chen Cangqi used Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), peeled, baked, sliced, coated with honey, roasted until honey penetrates, held in mouth until taste fades, then replaced. Zhang Zhongjing stated: With diarrhea of undigested food, interior cold exterior heat, faint pulse, red face, and sore throat, use Tongmai Sini Tang (Pulse-Recovering Counterflow Decoction). Also: Winter latent cold in Kidney Meridian causes sore throat and diarrhea upon manifestation; Fuzi Tang warms the meridian for cure.

Regarding Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch influences, if village epidemics occur in that year, chills indicate sudden cold suppressing heat, cold closed outside, heat郁 (stagnant) inside. Avoid sour/cold flavors dropped in throat, as they hinder Yang expansion. Avoid purgatives like Xiaoshi (Natrii Sulfas) and Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) which drive Yang inward, causing immediate disaster. Use exterior-dispersing formulas like Gancao Jiegeng Tang (Licorice and Platycodon Decoction).

For throat pain unresponsive to other medicines, this may not be throat pain but a black blister the size of a cherry hanging from a thread-like red line in the nose to the throat gate, hard to reach. Use straight, fat roots of Tuniuqi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), crush to extract juice, add 4-5 drops of vinegar, crush again, mix juices, and drip 2-3 drops into the nose. The thread breaks, blister bursts, blood is expectorated, and relief follows.

Li Dongyuan said: Summer cold damage latent in the Kidney/Shaoyin meridian often causes sore throat, named Kidney Meridian Cold Damage. Treat with hot medicine served cold.

Chen Yuangong said: Chronic dryness and pain in the throat is thought to be Lung Dryness-Heat, but who knows it is Kidney Water exhaustion? Metal generates Water; Lung Qi clears and generates water from below. Only when Lung Qi is deficient does Lung fluid suffice for self-nourishment, unable to replenish depleted Kidney Water. Thus, to save Lung dryness, one must first save Kidney exhaustion. Zimu Liangfu Tang: Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) and Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) each 5 qian; Shudi can be increased. One dose stops dryness, three doses stop pain, ten doses cure completely.

There are thirty-six types of throat diseases, generally involving Wind, Fire, and Phlegm. Initially, regardless of severity, prioritize descending Qi and clearing phlegm, followed by clearing fire and cooling blood. Distinguish deficiency/excess. Deficiency fire requires warming Kidney Water and guiding fire back to source. Confusing sequence and nature leads to failure and death risk. Mostly Wind-Heat and Yin Deficiency; Fire patterns 30%, Cold patterns 10-20%. Physicians must assess timing, induce vomiting of phlegm, puncture Shaoshang (LU-11). Disperse Wind-Heat, purge severe Fire, warm Cold-Deficiency. Sudden use of cold herbs initially leaves upper heat unresolved while creating middle cold, allowing pathogens to enter deeply, causing unstoppable asthma and death.

For initial throat disease with constipation, use Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and Yuanmingfen (Natrii Sulfas) to purge; bowel movement facilitates recovery. By day 5-6, if fasting and constipated, purgatives cause instant death as Yuan Qi is depleted. Do not use harsh purgatives; find better methods.

Those indulging in rich food, alcohol, sex, and mental labor causing foul-smelling throat pain think it is Lung injury, but it is actually excessive Heart Fire transferring heat to Lung. Alcohol damages Stomach, heat steams to Lung, but Stomach Earth generates Lung Metal, so alcohol doesn't severely injure Lung. Mental labor starts fire in Heart, punishing Lung. Stomach fire assists, causing fire to flare upward, turning throat into a burning path, with sticky saliva, dry mouth/tongue, foul odor, and pain. Heart governs odors; entering Lung it becomes fishy/foul. Jieqing Tang (Decoction for Removing Foul Odor) is indicated.

Jieqing Tang: Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Beimu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus) each 5 qian; Sangbai (Mori Cortex), Tiandong (Asparagi Radix), Danpi (Moutan Cortex) each 3 qian; Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) 1 qian. Decoct in water. Two doses stop pain, four doses remove odor.

This formula treats Lung, Heart, and Stomach. Rich-food consumers have deficient Qi/Blood in Lung/Heart. Simply purging fire damages Stomach Qi/Blood, increasing fire. Its brilliance lies in tonifying and cooling Lung, tonifying and cooling Heart, clearing Stomach fire. Fire retreats voluntarily, stopping throat pain.

Cold damage day 4-5 with fever, dry nose/mouth, sore throat is Yangming self-disease. Yangming belongs to Stomach; excessive sweating dries Stomach fluid, failing to moisten throat. Use Renshen Baidu San (Ginseng Rescue Powder).

Cold damage day 3-5 with bright red throat swelling, spontaneous phlegm-saliva, headache, stiff neck indicates Taiyang pathogen entering collaterals, stirring accumulated heat-toxin in Heart attacking throat. Use Gancao Jiegeng Tang plus Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Chuanlian (Coptidis Rhizoma). Day 8-9 cold damage with no tidal fever, abdominal fullness/pain, diarrhea, and sore throat indicates Taiyang meridian disease. After sweating, if unresolved, transitioning to Taiyin with abdominal fullness/pain/diarrhea and slightly white throat swelling is treatable with Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction), which tonifies lower Yuan, aids Yang Zheng Qi, aiming for warm extremities. Classics say: If mouth is red/vibrant with phlegm, treatable with modifications. Black mouth indicates dried blood; hoarse voice, eyes rolling up, sweating means untreatable. Carefully examine symptoms.

Day 8+ cold damage with persistent sore throat, dry tongue/lips after sweating indicates Shaoyin self-disease. Taiyin disease transitioning to Shaoyin after sweating: Shaoyin belongs to Kidney; sweating dries Kidney fluid, failing to moisten throat. If accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, cold feet, swollen/painful throat unable to swallow, and absence of phlegm-saliva or dry tongue, it is untreatable. Patient with slight fever, no other symptoms, only throat pain without swelling and hoarseness on day 8+ is untreatable. Day 10+ cold damage with resolved illness, no tidal fever, calm pulse, but sore throat indicates residual toxin attacking upward; use Niubangzi Jiedu Tang (Arctii Fructus Detoxification Decoction).

Yin Toxic Cold Damage: Heavy body, stiff back, unbearable eye pain, urgent lower abdominal pain, dark poison gas rushing to Heart, cold limbs, nausea/vomiting, throat discomfort, deep/fine pulse. Quick treatment cures in dozens of days; otherwise difficult survival.

Men and women throat pain follow same rules, except women with red swelling in throat indicate irregular menstruation. Blocked menses obstruct upward, causing swelling/pain due to Ying/Wei disharmony. Men prioritize Qi, women prioritize Blood; adjust accordingly using Tiaoying Tang (Regulate Ying Decoction). If severe with pale color and cold feet, it is deficient Yang attacking upward; use Jiangqi Tang (Descend Qi Decoction) to induce vomiting of phlegm and apply powder. Pregnant women with heart/headache are untreatable.

Women with cold damage fever, tidal fever, sore throat during menstruation: Huoren Shu says menstrual onset with daytime clarity and nighttime delirium is Heat entering Blood Chamber. Do not violate Stomach Qi or Upper/Middle Jiao; do not purge. Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is primary. Now, with throat pain, tidal fluctuations, red face/lips indicating Heat-Toxin blocking upward, do not use Xiao Chaihu Tang; use Zhuye Shigao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) to clear upper diaphragm and relieve irritability, followed by Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction).

Ulcers in throat with red/yellow color: induce phlegm then blow powder; use Niubangzi Jiedu Tang. Flesh growing in layers in throat with foul smell: decoct Zhen Gouju Ye (Real Citrus Aurantium Leaf) thickly and drink frequently for cure.

Deficient Yang attacking upward, Qi failing to ascend/descend causing phlegm-cold congestion in throat/pharynx: treat with Suzi Jiangqi Tang (Perilla Fruit Descending Qi Decoction).

Throat swelling originates from Spleen Meridian toxin due to fried/greasy food, excessive alcohol, and sexual activity, causing toxin stagnation at throat root. Without quick treatment, ulceration and closure cause death. Needle and vomit methods are best.

Common modern throat diseases include Single/Double Ru E (Tonsils), Ziteng Zhang (Sublingual Swelling), Muteng Zhang (Wooden Tongue Swelling), Chan Hou Bi (Entangling Throat Obstruction), Zouma Hou Bi (Running Horse Throat Obstruction). Qi rises to sides of throat forming swelling resembling teats (Ru E), single or double. Smaller than Ru E is Hou Bi. Heat in sublingual area creates small tongue (Ziteng Zhang); heat in tongue center causes swelling (Muteng Zhang). Wooden tongue is stiff/hard. Heat in throat with outer swelling, numbness, itching, large swelling is Chan Hou Feng. Sudden onset with surging phlegm, inability to swallow fluids. Though names differ, all relate to Hand-Shaoyin Ministerial Fire and Hand-Shaoyang Triple Burner Fire. These meridians connect to throat; heat causes internal knotting, swelling, obstruction, and death. Dangerous cases softened by salty/sour, large ones dispersed by pungent/herbs like Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), Wutou (Aconiti Radix), Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus), Poxiao (Natrii Sulfas), Baifan (Alumen). Zouma Hou Bi is not treated this way as life hangs in balance. Emergency method: scarification bleeding. Blood release cures; this is superior. Do not fear needles. Do not cling to small formulas claiming non-invasiveness; minor illnesses may heal, major ones die. Warn patients and physicians.

Throat is gateway for food/respiration, square inch area, dangerous disease, mostly Fire-related. Shaoyin/Shaoyang fires connect to throat, gathering fire pathogens. Ministerial fire slow causes pain/swelling; Associate fire fast causes severe swelling, insensitivity, obstruction, phlegm-block death. Classics: One Yin One Yang knotting is Hou Bi. Fire is root of phlegm, phlegm branch of fire. Excess fire from fried/spicy food accumulation causes thirst, constipation, wind-phlegm blocking, chest discomfort, string-taut rapid pulse. First disperse wind-phlegm, then resolve heat. Deficiency fire from alcohol, anger, sex causes throat dryness with normal bowels, faint pulse. Tonify deficiency, purge fire. Avoid pure cold herbs; temporary relief leaves upper heat, middle deficiency, toxin enters abdomen, chest swelling, asthma, diarrhea, cyanotic nails. Death after 7 days if no intake, fish-mouth appearance. Sweating is taboo in throat disease; needle bleeding counts as sweating. Do not needle Kidney/Diding (throat) swelling in cold damage. Internal deficiency causing loss of voice is untreatable.

Initial throat disease with chills and eruption, followed by cool body, no mouth sores, normal bowels, is not heat but Yin-Cold deficiency. Do not exhaust phlegm; this phlegm is body fluid, different from heat-type phlegm. Exhausting it depletes spirit and causes death. First use powder blowing or water-changing method to open throat, then take medicine. Initial dose disperses/harmonizes, next warms/nourishes. If chills/heart/bone/flank pain recur days 3-4, difficult to treat.

Throat disease with locked jaw, swollen tongue/throat, foul mouth, heavy tongue, yellow scales, afternoon chills/fever, closed bowels: treat as heat with Shigao Baidu San (Gypsum Rescue Powder). Easy to cure. Gradual onset days 3-4 with chills/fever, though severe, not harmful. Untreatable if symptoms persist without locked jaw, normal lips/skin lines. Untreatable if tongue fills mouth, walnut/eggplant/sandpaper colored. Treatable if combined with heavy tongue/chills. Pale purple/red tongue with veins indicates dead blood; foul smell suggests survival. Avoid thirst,急促 breathing, thick peach-gum phlegm (death imminent).

Neck-wide red swelling is critical. Red-purple face, blue-white face, lack of spirit: untreatable. Speechlessness: death. Slight speech: chance of life. Low-spirited preferring low seats: difficult. Diding (throat) connects to Kidney via tongue tie; white swelling untreatable, injury causes death. Day 5 severe throat disease: first 3 days pre-suppurative, medicine clears. Days 5-6 suppuration, rupture, ulcers difficult to treat; use mouth ulcer powder with Longgu (Os Draconis) and Zhenzhu (Margarita).

Blowing powder requires 4-5 tubes for sufficient phlegm expulsion; three times cures. Initial blowing uses more Jin Dan (Golden Pill), aimed directly at Diding, withdraw quickly to avoid vomiting.

Women with throat swelling/pain due to amenorrhea and fire attacking upward: use menstruation-regulating internal medicine; cure when menses flow.

Formless red swelling in throat: use Dengxin (Junci Medulla).

Critical throat disease with pale/swollen face, dull pulse, weak/deep pulse indicates leaking Spirit and Yang deficiency; untreatable. Red/swollen face with strong/rapid pulse indicates robust Yuan Qi and excess fire; easy to cure.

To expel phlegm-saliva when blowing powder, add small amount of Zaogiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina) powder.
