五脏六腑，应五运六气，凡病微则当其本化，甚则兼其鬼贼之化，亢则害，承乃制。微则
是其本经、本腑之本化，造化之化也，病甚则如金衰不能制木，木则生火，木火者，皆阳也，
故风火多，兼化则风热相搏，贼其金也。脏腑之气，应乎三阴三阳，实则行乎本化之气，泻之
衰则行其胜己之气，泻之是为杀其鬼贼也。如诸阳蓄热，以凉膈合解毒服之，解散极热。如泻
火热，解毒、调胃承气是也。如吐法，用二仙散。如调理伤寒，白虎、凉膈合服解之。
伤寒三日以里，连进双解。如无汗，必是传变，待三四日之间，以小柴胡解表里之热，仍
间服白虎、凉膈。蕴热，七八日之间，欲下，而表证犹在，以大承气汤、大柴胡汤双行并煎，
攻里发表，最为隐当。若是温热内甚，自利者，止凉膈，却进解毒、白虎服之。或恶心、干呕、
吐者，白虎作一大剂，调解毒末五钱，服之即止。大小便不通，并有腹痛不能忍者，以无灰酒
煎朴硝三两热服，即愈，亦按从治之法也。热中伏寒，下之矣，或大承气汤加木香泻之，尤妙。
伤寒失下，始病时又误服麻黄热剂太甚，必致热极，或有阳厥极深，身冷脉微，阳极似阴
之证，庸医以为阴证是也。须当急救其阴，以白虎、凉膈，日进三服。脉气渐生，身体渐温，
然后以大承气下之。夫大承气，救急之妙剂。如咽膈吐逆不利，当令热服，开其热结，利而即
愈也。
如伤寒汗下之后，自汗虚热不止，于白虎汤内加人参、苍术，一服如神，汗止身凉。此法
至妙，无庸详尽。
如赤白痢，先服黄连阿胶丸，次服解毒汤。
伤寒疮疡、破伤风，与伤寒治法一同，但以双解教与白虎、承气、临时斟酌用之。
双解、凉膈、白虎、泻心，此理伤寒之妙剂。
孕妇临月，可服益元凉胎，产后仍服。如血不尽，则以凉膈与四物合煎，调理经血。甚者
，大承气合四物，乃泻中之有补也。凉膈同四物，名玉烛散，妇人产后之妙剂。凉膈、四物合
大承气汤，名三和汤。大承气合四物，治妇人一切血积血聚等疾，加红花尤妙。
初生儿五七日，有热证，不得已，只用益元散，时时灌之。如小儿夜啼，用凉膈调之，
肚饥。临睡服。
凡疮疡瘾疹，凉膈加当归治之。
The five zang organs and six fu organs correspond to the Five Movements (Wu Yun) and Six Qi (Liu Qi). When a disease is mild, it manifests as its own original transformation (the inherent physiological nature of the organ or fu); when severe, it involves the transformation of its "ghostly enemy" (an abnormal excess in the controlling relationship). Extremes lead to harm; only through control can balance be maintained.
When mild, it is the original transformation of the respective meridian and fu organ, representing the transformation of natural creation. When severe, it is like Metal being too weak to control Wood; Wood then generates Fire. Both Wood and Fire belong to Yang, so Wind and Fire pathogens are prevalent. If transformations combine, Wind-Heat fights together, damaging Metal (the Lung).
The Qi of the zang and fu organs corresponds to the Three Yin and Three Yang. In excess conditions, the Qi of the original transformation circulates; after purgation, if the body's Qi declines, the Qi that overcomes it circulates. This type of purgation aims to eliminate the "ghostly enemy" Qi.
For example, when Yang heat accumulates, Liangge San (Cooling the Chest Powder) combined with Jiedu Tang (Detoxifying Decoction) is taken to dissipate extreme heat. To purge fire-heat, Jiedu Tang or Tiaowei Chengqi Tang (Regulate the Stomach and Direct Downward Decoction) are used. For emetic therapy, Erxian San (Two Immortals Powder) is employed. For regulating cold damage, Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) and Liangge San are taken together to resolve the condition.
Within three days of cold damage onset, Shuangjie agents (Dual-resolving formulas) are administered continuously. If there is no sweating, it indicates pathogen transmission; waiting until the third or fourth day, Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is used to resolve interior-exterior heat, while Baihu Tang and Liangge San are taken intermittently. If latent heat persists, between the seventh and eighth days, if purgation is desired but exterior signs remain, Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) and Da Chaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) are decocted together to attack the interior and release the exterior, which is most appropriate.
If internal heat is severe causing spontaneous diarrhea, only Liangge San is used, followed by Jiedu Tang and Baihu Tang. If nausea, dry retching, or vomiting occur, a large dose of Baihu Tang is prepared, mixed with five qian of Jiedu San powder; taking this stops symptoms immediately. For blockage of both urination and defecation accompanied by unbearable abdominal pain, 3 liang of Puxiao (Natrii Sulfas) is decocted in wine without ash and taken hot; this cures the condition, following the method of "treating according to the disease" (Cong Zhi).
For cold trapped within heat, after purgation, adding Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) to Dachengqi Tang for purgation is particularly effective.
If cold damage fails to receive timely purgation, and initially mistaken administration of Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and other hot agents was excessive, extreme heat will result. There may be deep Yang collapse with cold limbs and faint pulse, a syndrome where extreme Yang mimics Yin. Quack doctors often mistake this for a Yin syndrome. One must urgently rescue Yin by administering Baihu Tang and Liangge San, three doses daily. As the pulse gradually returns and the body warms, then Dachengqi Tang is used for purgation. Dachengqi Tang is a miraculous emergency formula. If there is regurgitation and obstruction in the throat and diaphragm, it should be taken hot to open heat knots; once unblocked, recovery follows.
After sweating or purging in cold damage, if spontaneous sweating and deficiency-heat persist, adding Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) to Baihu Tang works miraculously in one dose, stopping sweat and cooling the body. This method is excellent and needs no further elaboration.
For red and white dysentery, first administer Huanglian Ejiao Wan (Coptis and Donkey-Hide Gelatin Pill), then Jiedu Tang.
Cold damage-induced sores, ulcers, and tetanus are treated similarly to cold damage, but Shuangjie agents, Baihu Tang, and Chengqi Tangs are used according to circumstances.
Shuangjie San, Liangge San, Baihu Tang, and Xiexin Tang are miraculous formulas for treating cold damage.
Pregnant women near term may take Yiyuan San (Benefit Origin Powder) to cool the fetus, continuing postpartum. If lochia is not fully expelled, Liangge San is decocted with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) to regulate menstrual blood. In severe cases, Dachengqi Tang is combined with Siwu Tang, representing purgation with tonification. Liangge San combined with Siwu Tang is called Yuzhu San (Jade Candle Powder), a miraculous formula for postpartum women. Liangge San, Siwu Tang, and Dachengqi Tang combined are called Sanhe Tang (Three Harmonies Decoction). Dachengqi Tang combined with Siwu Tang treats all blood accumulation and mass disorders in women; adding Honghua (Carthami Flos) is particularly effective.
Newborns aged five to seven days with heat signs, if unavoidable, should only be given Yiyuan San frequently via gavage. For infant night crying due to hunger, Liangge San is used for regulation, taken before sleep.
For all sores, ulcers, and urticaria, Liangge San added with Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) is used for treatment.
