夫虚劳羸瘦者。五脏之气伤损也。经所谓一损损于皮毛。皮聚而毛落。二损损于血脉。
血脉虚少。不能荣于五脏六腑也。三损损于肌肉。肌肉消瘦。饮食不为肌肤。四损损于筋。
筋缓不能自收持。五损损于骨。骨痿不能起于床。然治损之法奈何。损其肺者。益其气。损
其心者。调其营卫。损其脾者。调其饮食。适其寒温。损其肝者。缓其中。损其肾者。益其
精。此治损之法也。
虚劳羸瘦者。是五脏六腑虚损之候也。凡人耽嗜声色。贪味甘肥。殊无撙节。唯恣情性。
而又外触风寒。内伤气血。表里受病。阴阳相搏。久而不瘳。遂成羸瘵。此皆冷热血气之所
起。五劳六极之候。因兹有焉。脾肾劳伤。肌骨枯悴。故成劳瘦之病也。
老小 羸。为血气不足。寒气独积于地。炎气独散于天。天地不交。故体成否。体成否。
则肌肉不润。腠理不通。胸膈气急。肠胃招满。为阴气冲阳。阳不接也。或膀胱坚积。肢体
沉。为阳气不能下营。阴气独盛也。致大肠留壅。汤药不下。或水谷不消。更加短气。若
不利关格。实不得其死也。

Deficiency consumption and emaciation result from damage to the qi of the five zang organs. As stated in the classics: The first degree of damage affects the skin and hair, manifesting as dry skin and hair loss; the second degree damages the blood vessels, resulting in deficient and scanty blood vessels that cannot nourish the five zang and six fu organs; the third degree damages the muscles, causing muscle wasting where food intake fails to transform into flesh; the fourth degree damages the sinews, leading to flaccid sinews and inability to control limb movement; the fifth degree damages the bones, causing bone weakness and inability to rise from bed. How then should deficiency be treated? For lung deficiency, tonify its qi; for heart deficiency, harmonize Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi; for spleen deficiency, regulate diet and adapt to cold and warmth; for liver deficiency, soothe the liver's constraint; for kidney deficiency, replenish kidney essence. These are the principles for treating deficiency.
Deficiency consumption and emaciation are signs of deficiency and damage in the five zang and six fu organs. If people indulge in sexual desires, crave sweet and greasy foods, lack restraint, and act on their impulses, while also being exposed to external wind-cold pathogens and suffering internal injury to qi and blood, it leads to simultaneous exterior and interior disease, with yin and yang clashing. If left untreated for a long time, it eventually forms chronic consumptive disease (Lei Zhai). This arises from the imbalance of cold and hot qi and blood, belonging to the manifestations of Five Labors and Six Extremes. Consequently, spleen and kidney labor and injury occur, causing muscles and bones to wither, thus forming the disease of consumption and emaciation.
The elderly and children suffer from weakness due to insufficient qi and blood. Cold qi accumulates alone in the lower part (earth), while heat qi dissipates alone in the upper part (heaven). Heaven and Earth do not interact, so the body becomes obstructed. When the body is obstructed, muscles lose moisture, and interstices become blocked, leading to chest oppression, rapid breathing, and abdominal distension. This is Yin qi attacking Yang qi, preventing Yang from connecting. Alternatively, there may be hard accumulation in the Bladder and heaviness in the limbs, because Yang qi cannot descend to nourish, leaving Yin qi excessively strong. This causes stagnation in the Large Intestine, making it impossible to take decoctions, or failure to digest food and water, exacerbating shortness of breath. If Guan-Ge (obstruction of upper and lower pathways) is not resolved, death is inevitable.
