【歌】真元斫丧渐成劳，骨热烦蒸气血销。清骨保真除
内热，黄 鳖甲治晡潮。补虚八物滋荣血，虚甚参 白风膏。花蕊十灰能止血，劫劳须用炼青蒿。大平治痿能
清肺，消化能令痰自消。男子必须先补肾，女人惟要把经调。传尸急制天灵散，勿使延缠种祸苗。
【论】夫男子之劳，起于伤精；女子之劳，起于经闭；小儿之劳，得于母胎。盖男子十六而精通，女子
十四而天癸至，然未充也。后生少年辈，淫欲太早，斫丧真元，真阴内亏，虚火炽焰，肺金受伤，无以生肾水，
肾水枯竭，无以济心火，心火一旺，肾火从之，而梦遗、鬼交之病作。肺气一虚，则腠理疏豁，而盗汗、自汗
之病作。火动其血，血随火升，而咳嗽吐红之病作。考之《内经》及上古诸家之说，一曰劳瘵，一曰劳极，一
曰阴虚，一曰不足，一曰虚损，然因名以责实，不过气虚、血虚、阴虚之异耳。凡脾、肺不足，皆气虚也。心、
肝不足，皆血虚也。肾水有亏，即阴虚也。气属阳，血属阴，血虚亦属阴虚。世有患此者，急绝房欲以养精，
内观以养神，毋怒劳以耗气，则其真阴之水自充，而五内之火自息，又何不治之有？惟其嗜欲无节，起居不时，
食饮自倍，使神散而精竭，血涸而气亡，直至发热不休，形骸骨立而死，良可叹哉！然而，一人未足怜也，犹
有侍奉亲密之人，或同气兄弟、子女之属，受其恶气，多遭传染，名曰传尸，甚至灭门者有矣。又此病最恶，
其热毒郁积之久，则生异物恶虫，食人脏腑精华，变生奇状，诚可惊骇。是以劳伤于肝者，则为毛虫，如刺 、
瓦蛆之属，食人筋膜。劳伤于心者，则为羽虫，如灯蛾、蚊、虻、禽鸟之形，食人血脉。劳伤于脾者，则为裸
虫，如婴孩、蚯蚓之类，食人肌肉。劳伤于肺者，则为介虫，如龟、鳖、虾、蟹之状，食人肤膏。伤于肾者，
则为鳞虫，如鱼、龙、蛟、HT 之形，食人骨髓。
或挟相火之势，亦如羽虫之酷者，鸱枭之类，为状不一，不可胜纪。凡有此证，便宜早治，一则杀虫以绝其根，
一则补虚以复其元，缓则不及事矣。
骨蒸两颧赤者，不治。（盖骨蒸内热本于肾虚。肾属水，水性寒，肾实则寒，肾虚则热。肾热则火蒸于骨
而髓亦热矣。肾主骨髓，两颧为骨之本故也。）劳瘵喉哑者，为肺绝，不治。（盖肺主气，声之所从出也。肺
为火烁，金不能鸣故也。）劳瘵忽患下部痈肿者死。先痔漏而后瘵者死，先得瘵而后痔漏者亦死。（盖痔漏
通于大肠，大肠为肺之腑，肺为火烁，遗热于大肠故也。）劳瘵犯一侧眠者，不治。（盖无血养筋，不能转动
故也。）劳瘵泄泻不食者死。（盖胃为五脏六腑之海，主生化之源，源绝则无以生精血故也。）
【脉】气虚，脉细，或缓而无力，右脉常弱。血虚，脉大，或数而无力，左脉常弱。阳虚，脉迟。阴虚，
脉弦。真气虚，脉紧。男子久病，气口脉弱则死，强则生；女人久病，人迎脉强则生，弱则死。经云∶脉来细
而微者，气血俱虚；脉小者，气血俱少。又曰∶虚劳之脉，或浮大，或弦数。大有，劳也；弦者，亦劳也。大
者易治，血气未衰，可敛而正也。弦者难治，血气已耗而难补也。若双弦，则贼邪侵脾，加数则危殆矣。
葛可久治劳瘵十神方

药，妄为施治，绝不取效。殊不知大寒则愈虚其中，大热则愈竭其内，所以世之医瘵疾者，万无一人焉。今开
用药次第于后∶
如呕吐咯嗽血者，先以十灰散揭住，如极甚者，须以花蕊石散主之，大抵血热则行，血冷则凝，见黑则止，

睡一觉，不令惊醒，睡起病势去其五、六。却分病用后诸药∶保和汤，止嗽宁肺。保真汤，补虚除热。太平丸，
润肺扶痿。消化丸，下痰疏气，随证加减。服药之法∶每日三食前，服保真汤；三食后，服保和汤，二药间而

用之。盖夜则肺窍开，药味必溜入窍中，此诀要紧！如痰壅盛，先用饧糖拌消化丸一百丸吞下，次却根据前嚼、

真元，完其根本。痊愈后，合十珍丸服之，乃收功起身之药也。

[Song] True Yuan (Vital Energy) is gradually depleted, forming consumptive disease; bone-steaming fever and vexation evaporate Qi and Blood. Qing Gu San (Bone-Clearing Powder) and Bao Zhen Tang (True-Protecting Decoction) clear internal heat; Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex) and Bie Jia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum) treat afternoon tidal fever. Bu Xu Ba Wu Tang (Eight-Ingredient Decoction for Tonifying Deficiency) nourishes Ying (Nutritive) Blood; when deficiency is extreme, Shen Bai Feng Gao (Ginseng and White Phoenix Paste) is used. Hua Rui Shi San (Flower-Rock Powder) stops bleeding; to treat Jie Lao (Robbing Consumption), refined Qing Hao Gao (Artemisiae Annuae Paste) must be used. Tai Ping Wan (Peaceful Pill) treats Wei Zheng (Flaccidity Syndrome) by clearing the Lung; Xiao Hua Wan (Digestion Pill) causes Phlegm to dissipate naturally. Men must first tonify the Kidney; women only need to regulate menstruation. For Chuan Shi (Transmitting Corpse/Infectious TB), urgently use Tian Ling San (Heavenly Skull Powder); do not let it linger and spread, becoming a source of disaster.
[Dissertation] The consumptive disease in men arises from injury to Essence; in women, from amenorrhea; in children, from the maternal womb. Generally, men reach seminal emission at sixteen, and women experience Tian Gui (Menstruation) at fourteen, yet their Qi and Blood are not yet full. Later generations indulge in sexual activity too early, depleting True Yuan. True Yin is deficient internally, causing deficient Fire to blaze. Metal of the Lung is injured, unable to generate Water of the Kidney. When Kidney Water is exhausted, it cannot control Heart Fire. Once Heart Fire flares up, Kidney Fire follows, leading to nocturnal emissions and "ghost intercourse." When Lung Qi is deficient, the Cou Li (pores) become loose, leading to night sweats and spontaneous sweating. Fire agitates Blood, which rises with the Fire, causing coughing and hemoptysis. Examining the *Nei Jing* and ancient masters' theories, terms include Lao Zhai (Consumptive Disease), Lao Ji (Extreme Exhaustion), Yin Xu (Yin Deficiency), Bu Zu (Insufficiency), and Xu Sun (Deficiency Injury). However, seeking reality through names, these are merely differences among Qi Deficiency, Blood Deficiency, and Yin Deficiency. Insufficiency of Spleen and Lung constitutes Qi Deficiency. Insufficiency of Heart and Liver constitutes Blood Deficiency. Deficiency of Kidney Water constitutes Yin Deficiency. Qi belongs to Yang, Blood belongs to Yin; Blood Deficiency also falls under Yin Deficiency. Those suffering from this should urgently abstain from sexual desire to nourish Essence, practice inner visualization to nourish Spirit, and avoid anger and overwork to prevent Qi depletion. Then True Yin Water will naturally fill, and Fire within the Five Viscera will subside. How could such a disease not be curable? It is only because they have no restraint in desires, irregular daily routines, and excessive food and drink, causing Spirit to scatter and Essence to exhaust, Blood to dry up and Qi to perish, until unremitting fever leads to death with a skeletal frame, truly lamentable! Moreover, one person's pity is insufficient; intimate caregivers, siblings, or children may contract the "evil Qi," named Chuan Shi (Transmitting Corpse), even leading to family extinction. This disease is most malignant; prolonged accumulation of Heat-Toxin generates strange insects that devour the essence of viscera, creating bizarre forms, truly shocking. Thus, consumption injuring the Liver produces hair-like insects (like hedgehogs or tile worms) eating sinews; injuring the Heart produces feathered insects (like moths, mosquitoes, birds) eating blood vessels; injuring the Spleen produces naked insects (like earthworms) eating muscles; injuring the Lung produces shelled insects (like turtles, crabs) eating skin fat; injuring the Kidney produces scaled insects (like fish, dragons) eating bone marrow. Sometimes accompanied by Ministerial Fire, resembling fierce feathered insects like owls, forms are countless. Any such syndrome should be treated early: first to kill insects and cut off the root, second to tonify deficiency and restore Yuan Qi; delay renders treatment futile. Bone-steaming with red malar flushes is untreatable (because bone-steaming heat originates from Kidney Deficiency; Kidney belongs to Water, Water is cold, Kidney Excess is cold, Kidney Deficiency is hot. Kidney heat steams bones and marrow. Kidney governs bone marrow, and malar areas are the root of bone). Consumptive disease with hoarseness indicates Lung Extinction, untreatable (Lung governs Qi and voice; Lung scorched by Fire, Metal cannot resonate). Consumptive disease with sudden lower body carbuncles is fatal. Hemorrhoids/fistula preceding consumptive disease is fatal; consumptive disease preceding hemorrhoids/fistula is also fatal (Hemorrhoids connect to Large Intestine, the Fu organ of Lung; Lung scorched by Fire, residual heat remains in Large Intestine). Consumptive disease sleeping on one side is untreatable (lack of Blood to nourish sinews prevents movement). Consumptive disease with diarrhea and anorexia is fatal (Stomach is the sea of Five Viscera and Six Fu organs, source of transformation; if source cuts off, Essence and Blood cannot be generated).
[Pulse Diagnosis] Qi Deficiency presents with fine pulse, or slow and forceless, with the Right Pulse often weak. Blood Deficiency presents with large pulse, or rapid and forceless, with the Left Pulse often weak. Yang Deficiency presents with slow pulse. Yin Deficiency presents with wiry pulse. True Qi Deficiency presents with tight pulse. In men with chronic illness, a weak Qi Kou (Radial artery distal crease) pulse indicates death, strong indicates survival; in women, a strong Ren Ying (Carotid artery) pulse indicates survival, weak indicates death. The Classics state: Fine and minute pulse indicates both Qi and Blood deficiency; small pulse indicates both Qi and Blood scarcity. It is also said: The pulse of Xu Lao (Deficiency Consumption) is either floating-large or wiry-rapid. Large indicates consumption; wiry also indicates consumption. Large is easier to treat as Qi and Blood are not yet depleted and can be gathered and corrected. Wiry is difficult to treat as Qi and Blood are already consumed and hard to tonify. If double-wiry, it indicates pathogenic invasion of the Spleen; adding rapidity indicates danger.
Ge Kejiu's Ten Divine Formulas for Treating Consumptive Disease
Master Ge stated: Among all diseases, none is harder to treat than consumptive disease. Quack doctors do not investigate its source or root, sometimes administering great-cold formulas or treating with great-hot medicines, practicing blindly without effect. They do not know that great-cold further empties the Middle Jiao, and great-hot further exhausts the interior. Therefore, among those treating zhai disease, not one in ten thousand succeeds. Now, the order of medication is listed below:
For vomiting and coughing blood, first use Shi Hui San (Ten Ashes Powder) to stop it. If extremely severe, use Hua Rui Shi San (Flower-Rock Powder). Generally, heat in Blood causes flow, cold in Blood causes coagulation, and black color stops bleeding; this is the principle. After stopping bleeding, the patient's body will slightly relax; use Du Shen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) to tonify, allowing them to sleep soundly without waking. Upon waking, the disease severity reduces by five or six parts. Then differentiate the condition using the following formulas: Bao He Tang (Harmony-Protecting Decoction) stops cough and calms the Lung. Bao Zhen Tang (True-Protecting Decoction) tonifies deficiency and clears heat. Tai Ping Wan (Peaceful Pill) moistens the Lung and supports flaccidity. Xiao Hua Wan (Digestion Pill) resolves Phlegm and moves Qi, modified according to symptoms. Administration method: Before three meals daily, take Bao Zhen Tang; after three meals, take Bao He Tang, alternating the two. Also, brew strong Hou Po (Mint) decoction to gargle and swallow. Chew one Tai Ping Wan slowly, swallow, then hold another in the mouth to dissolve slowly. Do this before bed. At night, Lung orifices open, and medicine slips into them; this secret is crucial! If Phlegm is obstructing heavily, first swallow one hundred Xiao Hua Wan pills mixed with maltose syrup, then chew and hold Tai Ping Wan as before, lying supine to sleep. After taking the previous seven medicines, if Lung dryness persists with residual cough, boil Run Fei Gao (Moisten-Lung Paste) and take regularly. Then cook Bai Feng Gao (White Phoenix Paste) to restore True Yuan and complete the foundation. After recovery, combine and take Shi Zhen Wan (Ten Precious Pills), which is the formula for concluding treatment and restoring strength.
