Angelicae Sinensis Radix (3 liang, acrid and warm) Cinnamon Twig (3 liang, acrid and hot) Paeoniae Radix Alba (3 liang, sour and cold) Asari Radix et Rhizoma (2 liang, acrid and hot)
Jujubae Fructus (25 pieces, sweet and warm) Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle (2 liang, sweet and neutral after honey-frying) Trogopterori Faeces (2 liang, sweet and neutral)
The above seven herbs. Boil with eight sheng of water. Decoct to obtain three sheng. Remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm each time. Administer three times daily.
The *Neijing* states: The vessels are the mansion of blood. All blood belongs to the Heart. To regulate the vessels, one must first tonify the Heart and benefit the blood. Bitter substances enter the Heart first.
The bitterness of Angelicae Sinensis Radix assists Heart blood. The Heart suffers from flaccidity; urgently consume sour substances to astringe it. The sourness of Paeoniae Radix Alba astringes Heart qi. The Liver suffers from tension; urgently consume sweet substances to relax it. The sweetness of Jujubae Fructus, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle, and Trogopterori Faeces relaxes Yin blood.
If there is chronic cold within the person, Danggui Sini Tang plus Wuzhuyu and Shengjiang Decoction should be used as the primary treatment.
Evodiae Fructus is acrid and warm to dissipate chronic cold. Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens is acrid and warm to circulate Yang qi.
Angelicae Sinensis Radix (3 liang) Paeoniae Radix Alba (3 liang) Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle (2 liang) Trogopterori Faeces (2 liang) Cinnamon Twig (3 liang, bark removed)
Asari Radix et Rhizoma (3 liang) Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (half jin, sliced) Jujubae Fructus (25 pieces, torn open) Evodiae Fructus (2 sheng)
The above nine herbs. Boil with six sheng of water and six sheng of clear wine together. Decoct to obtain five sheng. Remove the dregs. Divide into five warm doses. Another method: four sheng of water and four sheng of wine each.
Profuse sweating with heat not subsiding, internal cramping, pain in the four limbs, accompanied by diarrhea, cold extremities, and aversion to cold, is treated primarily with Sini Tang (Four Counterflow Decoction).
Profuse sweating should cause heat to subside. If heat does not subside but persists, it indicates collapse of Yang. Internal cramping and diarrhea indicate severe cold in the interior. Pain in the four limbs, cold extremities, and aversion to cold indicate severe cold in the exterior. Administer Sini Tang to restore Yang and dissipate cold.
Profuse sweating, or severe diarrhea leading to cold extremities, is treated primarily with Sini Tang (Four Counterflow Decoction).
Profuse sweating, or severe diarrhea, although the external and internal symptoms differ, both result in the loss of body fluids and damage to Yang qi. Yang deficiency and Yin excess lead to cold extremities. Administer Sini Tang (Four Counterflow Decoction) to consolidate Yang and retreat Yin.
When a patient has cold extremities and the pulse suddenly becomes tight, the pathogenic factor is knotted in the chest. There is fullness and irritability in the heart region, hunger but inability to eat. The disease is located in the chest and requires emesis. Genti San (Thistle Powder) is suitable.
Cold extremities indicate the inward sinking of pathogenic factors. A tight and firm pulse indicates excess. When pathogenic factors enter the Fu organs, the pulse becomes deep. Now that the pulse suddenly becomes tight, it is known that the pathogenic factor is knotted in the chest as an excess condition. Hence, there is fullness and irritability below the heart. Since there is no pathogen in the Stomach, there is desire for food. However, because the disease is in the chest, despite hunger, eating is impossible. Administer Genti San (Thistle Powder) to induce vomiting and expel the pathogen from the chest.
In Shaoyang disease, if there are cold extremities and palpitations in the epigastrium, treat the water retention first. Fuling Jiangzhi Tang (Poria, Ginger, and Licorice Decoction) should be taken, and then treat the cold extremities. Otherwise, water will infiltrate the Stomach, inevitably causing diarrhea.
The *Jingui Yaolue* states: Water stagnating below the Heart causes palpitations when severe. Although cold extremities are due to cold excess, the presence of palpitations below the Heart indicates severe internal water retention. First administer Fuling Jiangzhi Tang to treat the water, then treat the cold extremities. If the cold extremities are treated first, the water retention will infiltrate the Stomach, inevitably causing diarrhea.
After six or seven days of Shanghan (Cold Damage), following a severe purgation, if the Cun (inch) pulse is deep and slow, there are cold extremities, the pulse at the lower position is imperceptible, there is throat obstruction, expectoration of pus and blood, and unceasing diarrhea, this is difficult to treat. Mahuang Shengma Tang (Ephedra and Ma Huang Shen Decoction) is indicated.
At six or seven days of Shanghan, when the pathogen transmits to the Jueyin channel, severe purgation leads to Qi deficiency in the Lower Jiao and sinking of Yang qi internally. The Cun pulse is slow, and there are cold extremities with an imperceptible lower pulse. The Jueyin channel passes through the diaphragm, ascends to the Lung, and follows the throat. In Jueyin, following the meridian to affect the Lung, combined with the loss of body fluids, Fei Wei (Lung萎/Withered Lung) forms. This causes throat obstruction and expectoration of pus and blood. The *Jingui Yaolue* states: How is Fei Wei obtained? It is caused by being subjected to harsh purgatives, which severely depletes body fluids again. If diarrhea is unceasing, it indicates extreme deficiency of interior Qi, hence it is said to be difficult to treat. Administer Mahuang Shengma Tang to harmonize the Qi of the Liver and Lung.
