Treating the initial stage of smallpox, characterized by severe fever due to wind-cold, heavy body, headache, and profuse phlegm with cough.
The formula is found in Volume 5, Section on Exterior-Interior.
Wind-cold pathogens reside externally, therefore Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Zi Su Ye (Perillae Folium), and Gan Ge (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) are used to release the exterior. Phlegm and cough are obstructed internally, therefore Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), and Fu Ling (Poria) are used to settle the interior.
Once the pathogen is eliminated...
At the beginning of fever, before it is clearly identified as smallpox, this is suitable for those with weak physical constitution.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Fu Ling (Poria), Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthis Radix), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix) (each 0.7 qian).
Ren Shen, Fu Ling, Bai Zhu, and Gan Cao prevent deficiency. Xi Xin and Jie Geng disperse yang. Tian Hua Fen and Bai Shao Yao harmonize yin.
Regarding measles, during the initial fever before eruption, one must fear medication errors. Thus, it is said that before eruption, medication should not be used. However, if releasing the exterior and promoting eruption is handled appropriately, the toxin will dissipate, and the condition will naturally lessen. To seek safety and appropriateness, one should initially use this formula as the main treatment.
Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2-3 qian), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix) (1-2 qian, stir-fried with wine), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (8 fen), Jing Jie Sui (Schizonepetae Spica) (1 qian), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) (3 fen), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (7...)
Treating smallpox/rash where cold weather causes dense pores and intense exterior heat.
The formula is found in Volume 3, Section on Exterior-Releasing.
Exterior-releasing medicines are categorized into three grades: acrid-cool, acrid-warm, and acrid-hot. In summer, exterior qi is easily dispersed, so acrid-cool herbs are appropriate. In spring and autumn, exterior qi is balanced, so acrid-warm herbs are appropriate.
Its applicable...
Whenever a child has a fever, observe for signs of smallpox. (Cold ears, cold fingers, cold feet, eyes appearing watery, reluctance to speak or laugh are such signs.)
Until spots appear.
Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus), Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Mu Tong (Akebiae Caulis), Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Spica), Fu Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), plus Deng Xin Cao (Junci Medulla).
Gao Gugeng stated: If after taking this decoction no spots appear, it indicates abundant toxin, and the symptoms will necessarily be severe. If heat is extreme, chest oppression occurs, delirium appears, and the waist feels weak. In winter, additions can be made...
