凡非风口开眼闭,手撒遗尿,吐沫直视,声如鼾睡,昏沉不醒,肉脱筋痛之极,发直,
摇头上窜,面赤如装,或头重,面鼻山根青黑,汗缀如珠,痰声漉漉者,皆不治。
一、非风之脉,迟缓可生,急数弦大者死。
(共二条,是皆风门论治,故列于此)
华元化曰∶风之厥,皆由中于四时不从之气,故为病焉。有瘾疹者,有偏枯者,有失音
者,有历节者,有癫厥者,有疼痛者,有聋瞽者,有疮癞者,有胀满者,有喘乏者,有赤白
者,有青黑者,有瘙痒者,有狂妄者,皆起于风也。其脉浮虚者,自虚而得之。实大者,自
实而得之。弦紧者,汗出而得之。喘乏者,饮酒而得之。癫厥者,自劳而得之。手足不遂,
语言謇涩者,房中而得之。瘾疹者,自卑湿而得之。历节疼痛者,因醉犯房而得之。聋瞽疮
癞者,自五味饮食、冒犯禁忌而得之。千端万状,莫离于五脏六腑而生矣。
薛立斋曰∶前证若因肾虚阴火而肝燥者,宜用六味地黄丸生肾水,滋肝血。若因怒动肝
火而血耗者,用四物加柴、栀、丹皮、茯苓以清肝火,生肝血。若因脾经郁结而血耗者,用
归脾、四物二汤以补脾气,生肝血。若脾气虚而痰滞者,用二陈加白术、柴胡,健脾以化痰
。若因脾虚湿而风痰不利者,用二陈加南星、苍术、防风,胜湿以化痰。若脾经郁而滞者,
用归脾汤加柴胡、半夏。若肾经败液为痰者,用六味丸。
In cases of stroke (Feifeng) manifesting with deviation of the mouth and eyes, closed eyes, relaxed hands, incontinence of urine and feces, foaming at the mouth, fixed gaze, snoring-like respiration, deep coma unresponsive to stimuli, extreme emaciation of muscles with severe tendon pain, straightened hair, head shaking with upward deviation of the eyeballs, facial redness resembling makeup, or heavy head with cyanosis/blackening of the face, nose, and Shangen area, sweat droplets like pearls, and gurgling phlegm sounds in the throat, all are considered incurable.
First, regarding the pulse in stroke: a slow and moderate pulse indicates potential recovery, whereas a rapid, hurried, wiry, or large pulse indicates death.
(The above two items discuss the treatment of wind diseases, hence they are listed here.)
Hua Yuanhua stated: Wind Jue (sudden collapse due to wind pathogen) is caused by contracting the Qi of the four seasons that does not conform to normal patterns, thereby causing disease. Some present as Urticaria (Yinzhen), some as Hemiplegia (Piangu), some as Aphonia (Shiyin), some as Joint Pain (Lijie), some as Epileptic Collapse (Dianjue), some as Pain, some as Deafness and Blindness (Longgu), some as Skin Ulcers and Leprosy (Chuanglai), some as Distension and Fullness, some as Asthma and Fatigue, some as Dysentery (Chi Bai), some as Cyanosis and Blackness, some as Itching, some as Mania, all originating from Wind. A floating and deficient pulse arises from intrinsic deficiency; a solid and large pulse arises from intrinsic excess; a wiry and tight pulse arises from sweating followed by wind contraction; asthma and fatigue arise from excessive alcohol consumption; epileptic collapse arises from overexertion; inability to move limbs and slurred speech arise from sexual indiscretion; urticaria arises from inherent dampness; joint pain arises from engaging in sexual activity while intoxicated; deafness, blindness, ulcers, and leprosy arise from improper diet of the five flavors and violating taboos. Symptoms are myriad but never exist apart from the Zang and Fu organs.
Xue Lizhai stated: For the aforementioned conditions, if caused by Kidney Yin deficiency leading to deficient fire and Liver dryness, Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) should be used to generate Kidney Water and nourish Liver Blood. If caused by anger stirring up Liver Fire leading to blood depletion, Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) added with Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), and Fuling (Poria) should be used to clear Liver Fire and generate Liver Blood. If caused by Spleen meridian stagnation leading to blood depletion, Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) and Siwu Tang should be used together to tonify Spleen Qi and generate Liver Blood. If Spleen Qi is deficient with phlegm retention, Erchen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) added with Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) and Chaihu should be used to strengthen the Spleen and resolve phlegm. If Spleen deficiency with dampness leads to obstruction by wind-phlegm, Erchen Tang added with Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) should be used to overcome dampness and resolve phlegm. If there is stagnation in the Spleen meridian, Guipi Tang added with Chaihu and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) should be used. If敗液 (defective fluids) of the Kidney meridian condense into phlegm, Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill) should be used.
