Discussion states: Malaria (Nüe) is characterized by regular episodes of onset, occurring either daily or every other day. The body's Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) circulates in harmony with the yin and yang of day and night. Pathogenic factors lodge internally within the Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi), moving in and out following the circulation of Wei Qi, and responding at the Fengfu point (GV16). The early or late timing of attacks all occur according to specific time periods. Cold malaria, warm malaria, and burning malaria all have fixed times of onset; therefore, the *Neijing* collectively refers to them as Malaria. The symptoms include yawning and stretching before onset, chills and tremors with mandibular quivering, pain in the waist and spine; after the cold subsides, both interior and exterior become hot, severe headache as if splitting, thirst desire for cold drinks.
