*Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Source Book of Diseases and Etiologies) states: There are five types of Zheng Bing (Steaming Disorders). The first is called Gu Zheng (Bone Steaming). Its root is in the Kidney. The body is cool in the morning but hot in the evening. Irritability and restlessness, unable to sleep peacefully. Food has no taste. Urine is dark yellow. Mental confusion and agitation. Weak breathing and lack of strength. Lower back pain. Coldness extending up from the feet. Palms are often hot. When the steaming heat severely damages the interior, it transforms into Gan Ji (Childhood Malnutrition Syndrome). It consumes the Five Viscera. The second is called Mai Zheng (Pulse Steaming). Its root is in the Heart. Increasing irritability and oppression day by day. Throwing hands and kicking feet. A slight desire for water. Spitting white foam. Talking nonsense when lying down. Or fear and panic without calmness. The pulse is rapid. When the steaming heat is severe, it may transform into Gan Ji. Oppression below the umbilicus. Or sudden continuous dysentery. The third is called Pi Zheng (Skin Steaming). Its root is in the Lung. There must be severe panting and dry nose. No moisture in the mouth. White coating on the tongue. Urine red like blood. When the steaming heat is severe, chest fullness. Or self-reporting of Zhu Re (Infectious Heat). Distension under both hypochondria. Severe coughing, pain penetrating the back and connecting to the scapula. Restless sleep. Or steaming toxins damaging the viscera, spitting blood from the mouth. The fourth is called Rou Zheng (Flesh Steaming). Its root is in the Spleen. Body heat like fire. Irritability without sweat. Abdominal distension like a drum. Vomiting after eating. Urine like blood. Constipation and difficulty in defecation. When the steaming heat is severe, or body swelling and red eyes. Restless sleep. The fifth is called Nei Zheng (Internal Steaming), also named Xue Zheng (Blood Steaming). It is called Internal Steaming because there is external cold and internal heat. Placing the hand against the bone feels hot. Its root is in the Five Zang and Six Fu organs. This person likely contracted it after suffering from an illness. Flesh and bones waste away. Food and drink have no taste. Or skin is dry and lusterless. When the steaming heat is severe, limbs gradually become thin. Dorsum of the foot swells.
There are also twenty-three Zhengs. First, Bao Zheng (Bladder Steaming). Yellow-red urine. Second, Yufang Zheng (Reproductive Organ Steaming). In men, seminal leakage; in women, irregular menstruation. Third, Nao Zheng (Brain Steaming). Dizziness and muggy heat. Fourth, [text missing/corrupted] or urgent or slow, ears become scorched. Fourteenth, Pangguang Zheng (Bladder Steaming). Right ear becomes scorched. Fifteenth, Dan Zheng (Gallbladder Steaming). Whites of the eyes lose color. Sixteenth, Wei Zheng (Stomach Steaming). Pain under the tongue. Seventeenth, Xiaochang Zheng (Small Intestine Steaming). Scorched lower lip. Eighteenth, Dachang Zheng (Large Intestine Steaming). Dry and painful right nostril. Nineteenth, Sanjiao Zheng (Triple Burner Steaming). Also miscellaneous diseases with alternating hot and cold. Twentieth, Rou Zheng (Flesh Steaming). Twenty-first, Fu Zheng (Skin Steaming). Twenty-second, [text corrupted/missing], possibly related to sexual activity. Contracted through violation. Long-standing steaming not removed often transforms into Gan Ji. Must first prevent lower part pathology, do not treat lightly or recklessly. (From Volume 4)
Cui Shi's method for treating the Five Zhengs. The so-called Zheng disease is the toxic heat qi attached to the bones. It is the gradual beginning of death. Quack doctors and country folk do not recognize the physical signs of hot steaming disorders.

Weak breathing and lack of strength. Sometimes lower back pain. Can take Mang Xiao (Mirabilite). One dose is one Fang Cun Bi (measure). Take twice a day.

No dietary restrictions. Stop when the body feels cool.
Second, Mai Zheng (Pulse Steaming). Root in the Heart. Increasing irritability day by day. Throwing hands and kicking feet. Slight desire for water. Spitting white foam.

Cut the above four herbs. Boil in four sheng of water until one and a half sheng remains. Divide into three parts. Hold the liquid in a sheep bladder, and use a reed tube to enema into the lower orifice.

Or self-reporting Zhu disease. Hands covering the hypochondria. Severe coughing, pain penetrating the back and scapula. Restless sleep. This steaming toxin damages the Five Zang, spitting blood from the mouth. Formula:
Immediately give one liang of Mang Xiao (Natrii Sulfas). Mix with one and a half sheng of water, divide into three doses. Finish taking within three days. Soak hands in cold water, and apply compresses to the hypochondrium, axilla, chest, and painful areas.

When steaming heat is severe, limbs gradually become thin. Dorsum of the foot swells. Formula:

Cut the above ten herbs. Boil in nine sheng of water until two and a half sheng remains. Divide into three doses. Alternatively, boil one sheng of Xiaomai (Tritici Semen) in three sheng of water, then add the herbs. Avoid Haizao (Sargassum), Songcai (Brassica vegetables), Wuyi (Myrobalan), and Huocu (Fire Vinegar). (Fan Wang's formula is the same but lacks Gancao, Fuling, Renshen, and Zhuye, having only six ingredients.)
