Summerheat wind causes convulsions resembling infantile convulsion (Jing Feng), accompanied by irritability, thirst, fever with sweating, and yellow-red urine and stool. Initially use Jiawei Xiangru Yin (Modified Elsholtzia Decoction), followed by Yulu San (Jade Dew Powder) to bring relief.
[Note] Summerheat wind is characterized by spasms of the hands and feet, resembling infantile convulsion. It arises from summerheat-heat attacking the Liver, generating internal wind pathology. The symptoms include irritability and thirst, fever with sweating, and yellow-red urine and stool. Treatment should first employ Jiawei Xiangru Yin to disperse wind; subsequently, Yulu San is used to clear heat. Once the summerheat is resolved, the spasms will cease naturally. It must not be treated as infantile epilepsy (Jing Xian).
Jiawei Xiangru Yin (Modified Elsholtzia Decoction)
Ingredients: Moslae Herba (Xiangru), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), Fabae Semen Preparatum (Bian Dou, stir-fried), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Nongpu, stir-fried with ginger juice).
Administration: Use Juncus effusus (Dengxin) as a guide ingredient, decoct in water and take orally.
[Fang Ge] Jiawei Xiangru treats summerheat wind, combining Moslae Herba, Coptidis Rhizoma, and Fabae Semen; add Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex stir-fried with ginger and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix; decoct with Juncus effusus for effective and steady results.
Yulu San (See formula under "Fire Diarrhea")
Summerheat syncope presents with dizziness and loss of consciousness, caused by Qi deficiency combined with phlegm rushing upward to the Heart. For deficiency patterns, treat with Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Tonify Qi Decoction); for patterns with phlegm, Yiyuan San (Benefit Origin Powder) and Baolong Wan (Embrace Dragon Pill) are both suitable.
[Note] The manifestation of summerheat syncope is mental confusion and unconsciousness. This occurs because the patient's primordial Qi is inherently deficient, allowing summerheat-heat to rush to the Heart, or carrying phlegm upward, resulting in mental obtundation. For deficiency, treat with Qingshu Yiqi Tang; for excess/phlegm patterns, treat with Chen Sha Yiyuan San (Cinnabar Benefit Origin Powder) combined with Baolong Wan.
