**Treatment of Wind-Induced Alternating Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Limb Pain, Numbness, and Upper Jiao Stagnation**

Treats alternating chills and fever caused by wind invasion, dizziness and vertigo of the head and eyes, pain in the limbs, numbness of the hands and feet, and stagnation in the upper jiao (chest and diaphragm).
*Ren Shen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 0.5 liang), *Ma Huang* (Ephedrae Herba, 2 liang), *Chuan Xiong* (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma), *Du Huo* (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), *Xi Xin* (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), *Gan Cao* (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang). Grind into a fine powder. Take 5 qian per dose, decoct with 1.5 cups of water, and take after cooking.

Note: The condition described as "wind becoming chills and fever" occurs when wind pathogen enters the stomach, causing an imbalance in the excess or deficiency of Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi. The previously mentioned *Wei Feng Tang* (Stomach Wind Decoction) is precisely a formula to expel stomach wind, allowing it to resolve from the exterior. This [formula]...

**Treatment of Various Wind Syndromes Causing Migraine and Frontal Headache**

*Fang Feng Tong Sheng San* (Saposhnikoviae Decoction for Unblocking Wind), *Si Wu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction), *Huang Lian Jie Du Tang* (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxicity), each one portion. Add *Qiang Huo* (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), *Xi Xin* (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), *Gan Ju Hua* (Chrysanthemi Flos), *Tian Ma* (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), *Du Huo* (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), *Bo He* (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba).

Note: Exogenous wind combines with internal fire. Yang pathogens follow Yang positions, inevitably attacking upwards towards the head. However, when wind and fire are excessive, Ying Blood must be deficient; hence the composition of these herbs.

(Li Dongyuan) Treats persistent migraine and frontal headache, as well as wind-damp-heat pathogen obstructing the head and eyes, causing unceasing severe brain pain. (Regarding migraine, it belongs to Shaoyang Ministerial Fire. Zhu Danxi stated: Cases with phlegm are common. Left-sided pain relates to wind and fire, often accompanied by blood deficiency. Right-sided pain relates to phlegm and heat, often accompanied by qi deficiency. *Zhun Sheng* states: Medical texts often divide headache and Tou Feng (Wind Headache) into two categories, but they are essentially the same disease. Superficial and recent onset is called headache; deep and chronic onset is called Tou Feng. Treatment should be based on the origin of the pathogen.)
*Huang Qin* (Scutellariae Radix, wine-fried), *Huang Lian* (Coptidis Rhizoma, wine-fried), *Qiang Huo* (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), *Fang Feng* (Saposhnikoviae Radix, 1 liang), *Chai Hu* (Bupleuri Radix, 7 qian), *Chuan Xiong* (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 5 qian), *Zhi Gan Cao* (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 0.5 liang).
If the pulse is slow and there is phlegm, remove *Qiang Huo* and double the dosage of *Chai Hu*. (Dispersing...)
Li Dongyuan said: Taiyin headache... Qi stagnates in the chest and diaphragm, the head... Heat pathogen scorches, leading to turbid yin... *Chuan Xiong* enters the Jueyin channel, acting as an envoy to unblock Yin-Yang and Qi-Blood. *Gan Cao* enters the Taiyin channel, disperses cold and relieves pain; Acrid-Sweet combination disperses and generates Yang. *Huang Qin* and *Huang Lian* are bitter-cold; combined with ascending herbs like *Qiang Huo* and *Fang Feng*, they can clear damp-heat from the high summit of the head. (*Huang Qin* and *Huang Lian* are wine-fried not only to moderate their cold nature but to guide the medicinal action upward. Zhu Danxi stated: *Qing Kong Gao* (Clear Sky Paste) treats all types of headaches. Only blood-deficiency headaches presenting as pain connecting from the outer canthus are incurable. 'Yu Wei' refers to the outer canthus. Furthermore: For Shaoyang headaches, if the pain is in the Taiyang or Jueyin channels, do not use it, as this refers to vertex headache. Differences in using *Qiang Huo*, *Fang Feng*, *Chai Hu*, *Chuan Xiong*, *Sheng Ma*, *Xi Xin*, *Gao Ben* distinguish the affected meridians. Differences in using *Huang Qin*, *Huang Lian*, *Huang Bo*, *Shi Gao*, *Zhi Mu*, *Sheng Di* distinguish the affected zang organs for clearing fire. Use of *Fu Ling* and *Ze Xie* is to drain dampness. Use of *Ren Shen*... indicates gradual treatment. If acute...)
