It is believed that diseases arise urgently. In a hurried search for guidance, important details are hard to find. Therefore, various prescriptions for conditions where sweating is indicated and where it is contraindicated have been re-collected. Compared with the chapters on the Three Yin and Three Yang meridians, this is easier [to consult].
(For all conditions and prescriptions where sweating or purgation is contraindicated: if these were already fully detailed in the preceding chapters of the Three Yin and Three Yang meridians through the classic text and annotations, they are not repeated here. The remaining ones are listed below.)
The pulse is soggy (Ru) and weak (Ruo). The weak pulse appears at the Guan position, while the soggy pulse appears at the Cun position (Dian refers to the upper part/Cun). The minute (Wei) pulse appears at the upper part, and the choppy (Se) pulse appears at the lower part. A minute pulse indicates insufficiency of Yang Qi; a choppy pulse indicates lack of blood.
(The Cun and Guan positions belong to Yang, so the pulse should be floating and vigorous. If the weak pulse is at the Guan, it indicates insufficient interior Qi. If the soggy pulse is at the Cun, it indicates deficient exterior Qi. Wei Qi circulates outside the vessels. Floating indicates exterior involvement. Lack of blood leads to deficiency, aversion to wind, irritability, and inability to sleep.)
If there is pulsating movement (Dong Qi) on the right side, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will cause epistaxis (nasal bleeding), thirst, severe heart vexation, and vomiting water immediately after drinking.
(Dong Qi refers to a throbbing sensation of Qi movement. "On the right" means to the right of the umbilicus. The *Nan Jing* states: For internal lung patterns, there is pulsating movement to the right of the umbilicus, which feels firm and painful upon pressure. [Sweating would] injure the Lung.)
If there is pulsating movement on the left side, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will cause dizziness, incessant sweating, injury to the sinews, and muscle twitching.
(The *Nan Jing* states: For internal liver patterns, there is pulsating movement to the left of the umbilicus, which feels firm and painful upon pressure. Liver Qi is not regulated, and healthy Qi is internally deficient, causing Qi movement at the left of the umbilicus. [Sweating would] injure the Liver.)
If there is pulsating movement above, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will cause Qi to rush upward, striking directly at the tip of the heart.
(The *Nan Jing* states: For internal heart patterns, there is pulsating movement above the umbilicus, which feels firm and painful upon pressure. Heart Qi is not regulated, and healthy Qi is internally deficient, causing Qi movement above the umbilicus. [Sweating would] injure the Heart.)
If there is pulsating movement below, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will result in anhidrosis (no sweat), extreme mental vexation, severe pain in the bone joints, vertigo, aversion to cold, regurgitation after eating, and food failing to descend.
(The *Nan Jing* states: For internal kidney patterns, there is pulsating movement below the umbilicus, which feels firm and painful upon pressure. Kidney Qi is not regulated, and healthy Qi is internally deficient, causing Qi movement below the umbilicus. [Sweating would] injure the Kidney. Kidney Water fails to ascend...)
If the throat feels obstructed, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will cause hematemesis (vomiting blood), impending collapse of Qi, cold hands and feet, a desire to curl up and lie down, and inability to self-warm.
(The pharynx is the connection of the Stomach. If Stomach Meridian Qi is disharmonious, the throat becomes obstructed. Sweating attacks Yang; blood follows the dispersing action and rises upward, inevitably causing hematemesis. Stomach Meridian disharmony...)
In any case where the pulse presents as rapid (Shu), surging/moving (Dong), or minute/weak, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will lead to difficult defecation, dryness in the abdomen, dry stomach, and vexation. Although the manifestations may appear similar, their root origins differ.
(A rapid/surging pulse indicates heat in the exterior; a minute/weak pulse indicates heat in the interior. Sweating depletes body fluids, making the heat more severe. Dryness in the stomach leads to difficult defecation.)
The pulse is soggy and weak. The weak pulse is at the Guan position, the soggy pulse at the Cun position, the wiry (Xian) pulse at the upper part, and the minute pulse at the lower part. Wiry indicates abnormal Yang movement; minute indicates Yin cold. There is excess above and deficiency below, with a desire for warmth. Minute and wiry indicate deficiency; sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will cause chills and inability to recover spontaneously.
(Wiry at the upper part indicates Wind injuring Qi; when Wind is excessive, Yang moves abnormally. Minute at the lower part indicates Cold injuring Blood; when Blood is injured, the interior becomes Yin-cold. [Sweating would cause] chills.)
In cases of cough, the condition is severe. Frequent expectoration of saliva and foam occurs, the throat becomes dry, urination is difficult, there is a feeling of hunger and vexation in the heart, symptoms flare up intermittently, resembling malaria but with chills only and no fever.
(Lung Cold causes Qi rebellion; severe cough leads to expectoration of saliva and foam, depleting body fluids, causing dryness in the throat. Difficult urination indicates deficiency of Yang Qi in the diaphragm and hunger/vexation in the heart. [Misusing] sweating to attack...)
In cases of Jue (cold extremities) with a tight pulse, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will cause voice disorder, hoarseness, tongue flaccidity, and inability to speak.
(Jue with a tight pulse indicates Shaoyin Cold Damage. The method should be to warm the interior. Counter-inducing sweating damages Shaoyin Qi. The Shaoyin Meridian enters the Lung and circles the throat. [Sweating damages...] )
In any rebellious condition, inducing sweating: if the disease is mild, it will be difficult to heal; if severe, it will cause verbal confusion. Vertigo indicates death, and life will be hard to save.
([Sweating when contraindicated:] Mild cases become heavier and harder to heal due to sweating. Severe cases lose their Yin and Yang Qi, leading to verbal confusion, vertigo, and death. The *Nan Jing* states...)
In cases of cough with free urination, or urinary incontinence, sweating is contraindicated. Sweating will cause cold reversal in the four limbs.
(Lung Meridian deficiency and cold; upper deficiency cannot control the lower. Cough with free urination or incontinence indicates upper deficiency. Inducing sweating in upper deficiency causes external loss of Yang Qi, leading to cold reversal in the four limbs.)
In Cold Damage with headache, slight fever resembling Wind Strike, frequent slight sweating, and spontaneous vomiting: using purgation increases vexation and causes inner restlessness like hunger. Inducing sweating will cause...
(Cold Damage should present without sweat and with aversion to cold. Now, with headache, fever, slight sweating, and spontaneous vomiting, the Cold Damage pathogen has transformed into heat and desires to enter the interior. If mistreated, it harms... Wind-Fire-Heat injures the Lung, inevitably causing cough and expectoration of pus.)
If the pulse is deep and rapid, the disease is in the interior; sweating is contraindicated because there is no Yang.
Generally, if the Chi position pulse is slow, sweating is contraindicated due to insufficiency of Ying Qi and little blood.
Generally, if the pulse is slightly soggy and weak, sweating is contraindicated.
Generally, if there is pulsating movement in the abdomen on the left or right, sweating is contraindicated.
Generally, if any arterial pulse appears minute and weak, sweating is contraindicated. Sweating will lead to difficult urination, abdominal dryness, and vexation.
In cases of blood loss, sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating will certainly cause mental恍惚 (trance/confusion) and heart disorder.
In cases of dry throat, sweating is contraindicated.
In cases of accumulated heat in the Zang organs, sweating is inappropriate. Inducing sweating will certainly cause vomiting and the formation of sores in the mouth.
In cases of diarrhea with undigested food, attacking the exterior is taboo. Sweating will certainly cause distension and cough. In cases with free urination, attacking the exterior is contraindicated. Sweating will lead to unbearable rebellious conditions.
This is a rescue measure. Be cautious, be cautious.
(If exterior Wind-Cold exists but interior stagnation remains, or if interior disease presents with exterior heat, even without Yang signs, a mild acrid agent can be used to induce slight sweating and disperse with warmth.)
Minute and weak pulses indicate loss of Yang; sweating is contraindicated. Guizhi Er Yuebi Yi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Twice, Minor Blue Ginger One Decoction) may be used. Slow Chi pulse indicates little blood and insufficient Ying Qi; sweating is contraindicated. First use... [Text incomplete].
Regarding this clause.
In Huai Bing (ruined disease) where vomiting, sweating, purgation, and warming have failed to resolve the condition, one must identify the error and treat according to the law. Sweating is contraindicated. Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) may be used.
In cases of epistaxis or lower bleeding, even if the pulse is floating and tight with no sweat, epistaxis suggests resolution, and lower bleeding also suggests resolution. If not resolved, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is used. Sweating is contraindicated. Abdominal... [Text incomplete].
Muscle twitching (Jin Ti Rou Yun), vexation.
Extreme vexation.
In cases of diarrhea with undigested food, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) is used. Or in cases of constipation, sweating is contraindicated.
Aversion to cold with a floating pulse indicates an exterior pattern. If there is thirst, the pathogen desires to enter the interior; sweating is contraindicated.
In cases of dry throat and obstructed larynx, blood loss, Lin patients (those with strangury), Nu patients (those prone to nosebleeds), Chuang patients (those with sores), and Dong Qi (pulsating movement), sweating is contraindicated. In the discussion of patterns and treatments, Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is generally used. In Jue Ni (cold reversal)... [Text incomplete].
