夫妇人风痰者，由脏腑风冷，水饮停积在于胸膈所成也。人皆有痰，少者不能为
妨，多者成患。但胸膈有痰饮，渍于五脏，则令眼晕，亦令头眩、头痛也。
评曰∶夫痰之为害，多因外感五邪（五邪者∶寒、暑、燥、湿、风），内伤七气（七气
者∶喜、怒、忧、思、惊、恐、恚）。因五邪而得者，得风为风痰，得寒为寒痰，得冷为冷
痰，得热为热痰，得暑为暑痰。因七气所伤者，多因妇人情性执着，不能容忍，而有此证。
岂特只因风冷而成哉！所以外感五邪、内伤七气。则一身之中，血、液、泪、汗、涕、唾，
身中湿者，则浊变而则成痰，乘间而为害也。经云∶清则运为精华，浊则凝为痰饮，此之谓
也。然有痰、涎、饮、沫四种相类，宜仔细详辨调治。因风而生痰者，宜服三生饮、星香饮
、青州白丸子、化痰丸（方见《局方》）因寒冷而得者，宜服降气汤、黑锡丹、养正丹。（并
见《局方》）因热而得者，宜服金沸草散、柴胡半夏汤。因暑而得者，消暑丸。（并见《局
方》）因气宇不调，郁结而成者，宜服参苏饮、四七汤、二陈汤。痰在上者，以瓜蒂散吐
之；在下者，以控涎丹利之。虽曰可吐可下，亦要观人之勇怯，察脉之虚实，方可投之。切
记不宜痛系暴下，所以初虞世有金虎、碧霞之戒者，此也。
三生饮、星香饮、参苏饮。（方并见第三卷第一论）控涎丹。（方见第三卷第六论）养正
丹。（方见第四卷第四论）
Wind-phlegm in women arises from wind-cold affecting the zang-fu organs, causing fluid retention and accumulation in the chest and diaphragm. Everyone has phlegm; a small amount causes no hindrance, but an excessive amount becomes a pathology. When phlegm-fluid accumulates in the chest and diaphragm and permeates the five zang organs, it causes dizziness of the eyes, as well as vertigo and headache.
Commentary: The harm caused by phlegm often results from external contraction of the five pathogenic factors (the five factors are: cold, summerheat, dryness, dampness, wind) and internal injury from the seven emotions (the seven emotions are: joy, anger, worry, thought, fright, fear, resentment). Those acquired through the five pathogenic factors become wind-phlegm upon contracting wind, cold-phlegm upon contracting cold, cold-phlegm upon contracting chill, heat-phlegm upon contracting heat, and summerheat-phlegm upon contracting summerheat. Those injured by the seven emotions often arise because women have stubborn temperaments and lack tolerance, leading to this syndrome. Is it solely due to wind-cold? Thus, external contraction of the five pathogenic factors and internal injury from the seven emotions cause the body's fluids—blood, yin fluids, tears, sweat, nasal mucus, and saliva—to become turbid when dampness is prevalent, transforming into phlegm and taking advantage of opportunities to cause harm. The Classics state: "Clear substances transform into essence and nutrients; turbid substances coagulate into phlegm and fluid retention." This is what is meant. However, phlegm, salivary secretion, fluid retention, and foam are four similar conditions that require careful differentiation and treatment. For phlegm generated by wind, San Sheng Yin (Three-Life Decoction), Xing Xiang Yin (Aucklandia and Amber Decoction), Qingzhou Bai Wan Zi (Qingzhou White Pills), and Hua Tan Wan (Phlegm-Resolving Pill) [formula see *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*] are suitable. For those caused by cold, Jiang Qi Tang (Qi-Descending Decoction), Hei Xi Dan (Black Tin Pellet), and Yang Zheng Dan (Upright-Nourishing Pellet) [all see *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*] are suitable. For those caused by heat, Jin Fei Cao San (Boilweed Powder) and Chai Hu Ban Xia Tang (Bupleurum and Pinellia Decoction) are suitable. For those caused by summerheat, Xiao Shu Wan (Summerheat-Dispelling Pill) [see *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*] is suitable. For those caused by qi stagnation and constraint, Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Decoction), Si Qi Tang (Four-Qi Decoction), and Er Chen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) are suitable. If phlegm is located in the upper part, induce vomiting with Gua Di San (Melon Seed Powder); if in the lower part, purge with Kong Xian Dan (Controlling Fluid Retention Pellet). Although purging and inducing vomiting are indicated, one must observe the patient's physical strength and examine the pulse for deficiency or excess before administering medication. It is crucial to remember that violent purgation should be avoided; hence, Chu Yushi's warnings regarding Jin Hu (Golden Tiger) and Bi Xia (Jade Cloud) refer to this principle.
