(余躁热发狂附)
《活人书》论伤寒小儿、大人治,一般但小分剂,药差凉耳。问∶狂言者,何也?发狂有二证,阳毒发狂,蓄血如
狂,其外证与脉皆不同,病患烦躁,狂走妄言,面赤咽痛,脉实,潮热独语,如见鬼状,此阳毒也。治法药方在第四卷
第二十一问。第二十二问,(问病患潮热独语,如见鬼状,发则不识人,寻衣撮空,直视微喘,何也?仲景云∶伤寒若
吐若下后不解,不大便五、六日,上至十余日,日晡所发潮热,不恶寒,独语如见鬼状。若剧者,发则不识人,循衣摸
床,惕而不安,微喘直视但发热谵语者,大承气汤主之。若一服利则止后服。脉弦者生,涩者死。弦者,阳也;涩者,
阴也。阳证见阴脉者死。病患有阳证,而脉涩者,慎不可下。)病患无表证,不发寒热,唇燥但欲嗽水,不欲入咽,其
脉微而沉,小腹硬满,小便反利,大便必黑,身黄发狂,此血证谛也。(病患如热状,烦满口燥,其脉反无热,此为阴状,
其血证审矣。仲景云∶太阳病不解,热结膀胱,其人如狂,其血自下者愈。若外不解者,尚未可攻,当先解其表,宜桂
枝汤。外已解,但小腹急结者,乃可攻之,属桃仁承气汤主之。)大抵伤寒当汗不汗,热蓄在里,热化为血,其人喜忘
而如狂,血上逆则喜忘,血下蓄则内争,甚者抵当汤、抵当丸。轻者桃仁承气、犀角地黄汤。须取尽黑物为效。(失汗,
热蓄在膀胱经。若用抵当汤,更须仔细审其有无表证。若有蓄血证而外不解,亦未可便用抵当汤。先用桂枝汤已解其外,
缘热在膀胱太阳经故也。)又有火邪发惊狂者,医以火于卧床下,或周身用火迫劫汗出,或熨而成火邪。其人亡阳,烦
躁惊狂,卧起不安,桂枝去芍药加蜀漆牡蛎龙骨救逆汤、桂枝甘草龙骨牡蛎汤主之。(凡灸及烧针后证似大劫者,并用劫
法治之,金匮风引汤尤良,柴胡加龙骨牡蛎汤更捷。)

(Attached: Treatment of Mania Caused by Restlessness and Heat)
*Huoren Shu* (Book of Vitality) discusses the treatment of Shanghan (Cold Damage) in both children and adults; the methods are generally the same, but the dosages are slightly smaller, and the medicinal properties are slightly cooler. Question: What is the cause of delirious speech? There are two types of mania: one is mania caused by Yang toxicity, and the other is mania-like state due to blood stasis. Their external symptoms and pulses are different. The patient presents with irritability, running wildly, delirious speech, red face, sore throat, a full pulse, tidal fever, speaking alone as if seeing ghosts; this is Yang toxicity. The treatment method and formula are found in Volume 4, Question 21. In Question 22, it asks: "If a patient has tidal fever, speaks alone as if seeing ghosts; during attacks, does not recognize people, grasps at clothes and bedrails, stares fixedly, and breathes slightly short, what is the cause?" Zhang Zhongjing said: "In Shanghan, if after emesis or purgation the condition remains unresolved, and there is no bowel movement for five or six days, up to ten or more days, with tidal fever occurring around the Shen hour (3-5 PM), without aversion to cold, speaking alone as if seeing ghosts. If severe, during attacks the patient does not recognize people, grasps at clothes and bedrails, feels terrified and uneasy, breathes slightly short, and stares fixedly; if there is only fever and delirium, Da Chengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is the primary treatment. If one dose results in relief, stop subsequent doses. A string-like pulse indicates survival; a choppy pulse indicates death. String-like is Yang; choppy is Yin. When Yang syndrome presents with Yin pulse, death occurs. If a patient has Yang syndrome but a choppy pulse, downward purging must be strictly avoided."
If the patient has no exterior syndrome, no chills or fever, dry lips desiring only to rinse the mouth without swallowing, a pulse that is faint and deep, hardness and fullness in the lower abdomen, urination that is surprisingly free, black stools, jaundice, and mania, this is a definitive blood stasis syndrome. (The patient appears to have heat signs, irritability, chest fullness, and dry mouth, but the pulse is unexpectedly not rapid; this indicates a Yin pattern, confirming blood stasis. Zhang Zhongjing said: "When Taiyang disease is unresolved, heat binds in the Bladder, and the person acts as if manic; if blood passes spontaneously, the disease heals. If the exterior is still unresolved, attack is not yet appropriate; first resolve the exterior, using Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). Once the exterior is resolved, and only the lower abdomen feels urgent and knotted, then attack is possible; this belongs to Taoren Chengqi Tang (Peach Kernel Order the Qi Decoction).") Generally, in Shanghan, if sweating should have been induced but was not, heat accumulates internally and transforms into blood stasis; the person becomes forgetful and acts as if manic. Blood rushing upward causes forgetfulness; blood accumulating downward causes internal conflict. Severe cases require Didang Tang (Eradicate Stasis Decoction) or Didang Wan (Eradicate Stasis Pill). Mild cases use Taoren Chengqi Tang or Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction). Efficacy is achieved only when black material is expelled. (Loss of sweat leads to heat accumulation in the Bladder Meridian. If using Didang Tang, one must carefully examine whether an exterior syndrome exists. If there is blood stasis syndrome but the exterior is unresolved, Didang Tang cannot be used immediately. First, use Guizhi Tang to resolve the exterior, because the heat is in the Bladder and Taiyang meridians.)
There is also mania caused by Fire Pathogen leading to fright and mania. This occurs when a doctor places fire under the sleeping mat, uses fire to force perspiration over the whole body, or applies moxibustion/ironing causing Fire Pathogen. The patient loses Yang qi, becoming irritable, frightened, and manic, unable to lie down or sit still calmly. Guizhi Qushaoyao Jia Shujimu Lulong Jiuni Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction without Peony plus Coix Seed, Oyster Shell, and Dragon Bone to Rescue from Emergency) or Guizhi Gancao Longgu Muli Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Licorice with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell Decoction) are the primary treatments. (For conditions resembling major collapse after moxibustion or burning needles, treat with collapsing methods; Fengyin Tang (Wind-Driving Decoction) from *Jin Gui Yao Lue* is excellent, and Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang (Bupleurum with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell Decoction) is even more effective.)
