Commentary states: When the Stomach is deficient and food intake is scant, sexual intercourse occurs while intoxicated. Exposure to wind pathogens ensues. The heat-toxin in the Stomach, following the deficiency, penetrates inward, causing yellowish-red urine. As the heat-toxin accumulates internally, it causes a feeling of stifling pain in the epigastrium (Xin Xia). The heat steams the muscles, resulting in jaundice of the body and eyes. Alternatively, red macules may appear, accompanied by edema of the lower legs and shins. If purgation is employed prematurely, the condition may transform into black jaundice (Hei Dan), characterized by a sensation of hunger as if ill, dark stools with blood stasis, and numbness of the skin. The general treatment principle is to first eliminate damp-toxin, then promote diuresis, and treat remaining symptoms according to the pattern.
