On the first day of cold damage disease, the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channel is affected. If the pulse is calm, the pathogen has not transmitted to other zang-fu organs; if irritability and a desire to vomit occur, and the pulse is rapid and tense, it indicates transmission to other organs. Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated.
When Taiyang disease occurs, symptoms include headache, stiffness in the neck and nape, and aversion to cold, with a floating and rapid pulse. Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated.
In Taiyang disease accompanied by wind-strike, fever and aversion to cold occur. Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated.
The pulse of Taiyang disease with wind-strike shows a floating and weak Yang pulse (cun position). Floating indicates spontaneous heat; weak indicates spontaneous sweating. Symptoms include slight aversion to cold, mild fever as if covered by feathers, nasal congestion, and dry retching. Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated.
Taiyang disease presents with fever and sweating, indicating weak Ying (Nutritive) Qi and strong Wei (Defensive) Qi, leading to sweating. To expel the pathogen, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) should be administered again.
