Chapter: Six Formulas for Malaria of the Five Zang Organs and Stomach
Category: Formulas
[Translation]
**Malaria caused by Lung Disease:**
The symptoms come and go intermittently, causing coldness in the heart. When the cold is severe, fever ensues, accompanied by frequent fright and visual hallucinations ("as if seeing something"). This is the syndrome of Lung Malaria. If a person who originally spoke with a clear and vigorous voice suddenly becomes hoarse, dragging their breath and exerting effort to speak, yet behaves like a normal person by calling out to others but staring straight ahead without responding; although they appear not to be ill, their lifespan will likely be short. This is the sign of Lung disease manifested in the voice. In examining diseases and observing pathologies, one must ensure that exterior and interior correspond, and treat according to the source to avoid error.
**Malaria caused by Heart Disease:**
This causes extreme irritability in the heart, a desire to drink clear water, with more chills than fever. If a person who was originally gentle and elegant suddenly becomes irritable, behaving contrary to their usual nature, or stopping mid-sentence, picking at their toenails; such a person will surely die. Although disaster has not yet arrived, they are called "walking corpses." This is the sign of Heart disease manifested in the voice. For deficiency syndromes, use tonification; for excess syndromes, use purgation. Cases that cannot be cured should be clearly identified.
**Malaria caused by Liver Disease:**
This causes the complexion to appear bluish-green, with panting, chest tightness, trembling, and shaking, resembling a dead person. If a person who was originally rarely sad or angry suddenly becomes wrathful, speaking abnormally, alternating between relaxed and tense states, gesturing towards their eyes as if deep in thought before finishing their sentence; if illness does not occur immediately, disaster will certainly follow. This is the sign of Liver disease manifested in the voice. If the person is deficient, they are injured by cold wind; if excessive, they are damaged by hot qi. For Yang syndromes, use draining methods; for Yin syndromes, use tonifying methods.
**Malaria caused by Spleen Disease:**
This causes abdominal pain when cold, and borborygmus (intestinal rumbling) followed by sweating when hot. If a person who was originally free from extreme joy or anger suddenly becomes abnormal, displaying uncontrolled emotions, talking excessively and laughing to themselves, ignoring others; this is Spleen disease manifested in the voice. Disaster will certainly arrive within ten days.
**Malaria caused by Kidney Disease:**
This causes a desolate feeling, pain in the lower back and spine with rolling restlessness, difficult stool, body tremors, and (as stated in *Suwen*, blurred vision/dizziness), and cold hands and feet. If a person who was originally neither happy nor angry suddenly becomes stuttering and prone to anger, contrary to their normal temperament; this indicates the Kidneys have been injured. Although not yet detected, this is the sign. Seeing someone, opening one's mouth to smile before speaking, then closing the mouth silently, and raising hands to scratch the abdomen intensely; this is the sign of Kidney disease manifested in the voice. One should examine deficiency/excess, exterior/interior, floating/sinking, and clear/turbid qualities, and treat accordingly.
**General Principles of Malaria Pulse and Treatment:**
The pulse of malaria is naturally wiry (*Xian*). A wiry and rapid pulse indicates much heat; a wiry and slow pulse indicates much cold. A wiry, small, and tight pulse may be treated with purgation. A wiry and slow pulse is cured with warm medicines. If the pulse is rapid and tight, diaphoresis or acupuncture may be used. If the pulse is floating and large, acupuncture is contraindicated. Generally, malaria should be treated about the time it takes to eat before the attack begins; delaying misses the optimal timing.
**Malaria of the Foot-Taiyang Meridian:**
Causes lower back pain, heavy head, and cold rising from the back. Chills precede fever. After the heat subsides, sweat appears. It is difficult to cure. Prick [Weizhong BL-40] to bleed.
**Malaria of the Foot-Shaoyang Meridian:**
Causes flaccidity of the body, mild chills, and mild fever. The patient dislikes seeing people and feels fearful upon seeing them. There is much heat and profuse sweating. Needle the Foot-Shaoyang meridian.
**Malaria of the Foot-Yangming Meridian:**
Causes initial chills, shivering, which last a long time before fever sets in. After the heat subsides, sweat appears. The patient desires sunlight or firelight to feel comfortable. Needle the upper part of the Foot-Yangming meridian [Jugu ST-1].
**Malaria of the Foot-Taiyin Meridian:**
Causes unhappiness, frequent sighing, loss of appetite, alternating chills and fever, and sweating. Vomiting occurs during the attack, after which the condition subsides. Select points on the Foot-Taiyin meridian.
**Malaria of the Foot-Shaoyin Meridian:**
Causes chest oppression and severe vomiting. Alternating chills and fever, with more heat than chills. The patient wishes to stay behind closed doors. This disease is difficult to stop.
**Malaria of the Foot-Jueyin Meridian:**
Causes lower back pain, fullness in the lower abdomen, and dysuria resembling *Long* syndrome (urinary difficulty) but not quite so. Frequent urge to urinate accompanied by fear. Qi deficiency and abdominal depression. Needle the Foot-Jueyin meridian.
**Specific Organ Malarial Treatments via Acupuncture:**
* **Lung Malaria:** Causes coldness in the heart, severe cold followed by fever, and fright/hallucinations during fever intervals. Needle Hand-Taiyin and Hand-Yangming meridians.
* **Heart Malaria:** Causes extreme irritability, desire for clear water, more chills than light fever. Needle Hand-Shaoyin meridian.
* **Liver Malaria:** Causes bluish-green complexion, sighing, and appearance of death. Needle Foot-Jueyin meridian until blood appears.
* **Spleen Malaria:** Causes abdominal pain during chills, borborygmus and sweating during heat. Needle Foot-Taiyin meridian.
* **Kidney Malaria:** Causes shivering, lower back/spine pain, rolling restlessness, difficult defecation, blurred vision, and cold extremities. Needle Foot-Taiyang and Foot-Shaoyin meridians.
* **Stomach Malaria:** Causes hunger but inability to eat; eating leads to distension and abdominal enlargement. Bleed from the transverse vessels of the Foot-Yangming and Foot-Taiyin meridians. (All from Volume 11)
