四三、头痛恶寒，身重疼痛，舌白不渴，脉弦细而濡，面色淡黄，胸闷不饥，午后身热，状若阴虚，病难速已，
名
曰湿温。汗之则神昏耳聋，甚则目瞑不欲言，下之则洞泄，润之则病深不解，长夏深秋冬日同法，三仁汤主之。
头痛恶寒，身重疼痛，有似伤寒，脉弦濡，则非伤寒矣。舌白不渴，面色淡黄，则非伤暑之偏于火
者矣。胸闷不饥，湿闭清阳道路也。午后身热，状若阴虚者，湿为阴邪，阴邪自旺于阴分，故与阴虚
同一午后身热也。湿为阴邪，自长夏而来，其来有渐，且其性氤氲粘腻，非若寒邪之一汗而解，温热
之一凉则退，故难速已。世医不知其为湿温。见其头痛恶寒身重疼痛也，以为伤寒而汗之，汗伤心
阳，湿随辛温发表之药蒸腾上逆，内蒙心窍则神昏，上蒙清窍则耳聋目瞑不言。见其中满不饥，以
为停滞而大下之，误下伤阴，而重抑脾阳之升，脾气转陷，湿邪乘势内渍，故洞泄。见其午后身热，
以为阴虚而用柔药润之，湿为胶滞阴邪，再加柔润阴药，二阴相合，同气相求，遂有锢如而不可解之
势。惟以三仁汤轻开上焦肺气，盖肺主一身之气，气化则湿亦化也。湿气弥漫，本无形质，以重浊滋
味之药治之，愈治愈坏。伏暑湿温，吾乡俗名秋呆子，悉以陶氏《六书》法治之，不知从何处学来，医
者呆，反名病呆，不亦诬乎！再按∶湿温较诸温，病势虽缓而实重，上焦最少，病势不甚显张，中焦病
最多，详见中焦篇，以湿为阴邪故也，当于中焦求之。

湿温着于经络，多身痛身热之候，医者误以为伤寒而汗之，遂成是证。仲景谓湿家忌发汗，发汗
则病痉。湿热相搏，循经入络，故以清宫汤清包中之热邪，加银花、赤豆以清湿中之热，而又能直入

Article 43: Headache, aversion to cold, heaviness and pain in the body, white tongue coating without thirst, wiry, fine and soggy pulse, pale yellow complexion, chest fullness with loss of appetite, afternoon fever resembling Yin deficiency, a condition difficult to cure quickly, is named Damp-Warmth (Shi Wen). Sweating will lead to coma and deafness, or even closed eyes and unwillingness to speak; purging will lead to severe diarrhea; moistening will deepen the disease and make it unresolved. The method applies equally to late summer, deep autumn, and winter days. San Ren Tang (Three Kernel Decoction) is the principal formula.
Headache, aversion to cold, heaviness and pain in the body resemble Taiyang Cold Damage (Taiyang Shang Han), but a wiry and soggy pulse indicates it is not Taiyang Cold Damage. White tongue coating without thirst and pale yellow complexion indicate it is not Summerheat with Fire bias. Chest fullness and loss of appetite are due to Dampness obstructing the pathway of Clear Yang ascending. Afternoon fever resembling Yin deficiency occurs because Dampness is a Yin pathogen, which flourishes in the Yin aspect, thus sharing the characteristic of afternoon fever with Yin deficiency. Dampness is a Yin pathogen originating from late summer, accumulating gradually. Its nature is misty and sticky, unlike Cold pathogens that resolve with one sweating, or Warm-Heat pathogens that recede with one cooling, hence it is difficult to cure quickly. Physicians of the world do not recognize this as Damp-Warmth. Seeing headache, aversion to cold, heaviness and pain, they mistake it for Taiyang Cold Damage and use sweating. Sweating damages Heart Yang; Dampness steams upward along with acrid-warm releasing drugs, internally confusing the Heart Orifices leading to coma, and externally clouding the Clear Orifices leading to deafness, closed eyes, and silence. Seeing chest fullness and loss of appetite, they mistake it for food stagnation and use harsh purging. Mistaken purging damages Yin and further suppresses the ascending of Spleen Yang. Spleen Qi sinks, and Dampness takes advantage to infiltrate internally, causing severe diarrhea. Seeing afternoon fever, they mistake it for Yin deficiency and use soft/moistening drugs. Dampness is a sticky Yin pathogen; adding soft Yin drugs combines two Yins, seeking similar energies, creating an entrenched and unresolved state. Only by using San Ren Tang to gently open the Lung Qi of the Upper Jiao can this be addressed, as the Lung governs the Qi of the whole body; when Qi transforms, Dampness also transforms. Dampness pervades without fixed form; treating it with heavy, turbid, and cloying drugs makes the condition worse with each treatment. For latent Summerheat-Dampness, locally known as "Autumn Stupidity," people invariably use methods from Tao Hua's *Liu Shu*,不知 where learned. The physician becomes rigid, wrongly blaming the patient for being "stupid." Is this not unjust? Furthermore: Compared to other Warm diseases, Damp-Warmth has a slower but actually more serious course. It appears least in the Upper Jiao, with mild manifestations; most frequently in the Middle Jiao, detailed in the Middle Jiao chapter, because Dampness is a Yin pathogen. One should seek the pathology in the Middle Jiao.
San Ren Tang Formula
Xing Ren (Apricot Seed, five qian) Fei Hua Shi (Calcined Talcum, six qian) Bai Tong Cao (Akebia Caulis, two qian) Bai Kou Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus, two qian) Zhu Ye (Bambusa Leaves, two qian) Hou Po (Magnolia Bark, two qian) Sheng Yi Yi Ren (Coix Seed, six qian) Ban Xia (Pinellia Rhizome, five qian)
Boil in eight bowls of Gan Lan Shui (Gentle Wave Water) to obtain three bowls. Take one bowl per dose, three times daily.
Article 44: When Damp-Warmth pathogen enters the Pericardium, causing coma and cold limbs, use Qing Gong Tang (Clear the Palace Decoction) removing Lian Xin (Nelumbinis Plumula) and Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix), adding Yin Hua (Lonicerae Flos) and Chi Xiao Dou Pi (Vigna Semen Cutis), decocted to administer Zhi Bao Dan (Treasure of Supreme Clarity Pill) or Zi Xue Dan (Purple Snow Pill).
Damp-Warmth adhering to meridians often presents with body pain and fever. Physicians mistakenly treat it as Taiyang Cold Damage and use sweating, resulting in this syndrome. Zhang Zhongjing stated that patients with Dampness must avoid sweating; sweating leads to Jing Disease (spasms). Damp-Heat combats and travels through meridians into collaterals. Therefore, Qing Gong Tang clears Heat in the Pericardium, while Yin Hua and Chi Xiao Dou clear Heat within Dampness and directly enter the Hand-Jueyin meridian. Zhi Bao Dan removes turbidity and restores consciousness; if unavailable, substitute with Zi Xue Dan.
Qing Gong Tang Modified (Removing Lian Xin and Mai Dong, Adding Yin Hua and Chi Xiao Dou Pi)
Xi Jiao (Rhinoceros Horn, one qian) - *Note: Substitute with water buffalo horn in modern practice* Qiao Xin (Lonicerae Calyx/Heart, three qian) Yuan Shen Xin (Scrophulariae Radix Heart, two qian) Zhu Ye Xin (Bambusa Leaf Heart, two qian) Yin Hua (Lonicerae Flos, two qian) Chi Xiao Dou Pi (Vigna Semen Cutis, three qian)
Zhi Bao Dan and Zi Xue Dan formulas (see previous articles).
Article 45: Damp-Warmth causing throat obstruction and sore throat is treated with Yin Qiao Ma Bo San (Honeysuckle and Wood Ear Powder).
The Lung governs Qi. In Damp-Warmth, Lung Qi fails to transform. Extreme stagnation causes the Fire of Heart and Gallbladder (Yin and Yang) to knot together. Since Metal disease cannot control Wood, Wood counterattacks the Lung Metal carrying Heart Fire. The throat is the Lung system; obstruction in the Qi level causes blockage, while obstruction in the Blood level causes pain. Thus, light herbs are used to open it.
Yin Qiao Ma Bo San Formula (Acrid-Cool Slightly Bitter Method)
Qiao (Forsythiae Fructum, one liang) Niu Bang Zi (Arctii Fructum, six qian) Yin Hua (Lonicerae Flos, five qian) She Ye (Belamcandae Rhizoma, three qian) Ma Bo (Eupolyphaga/Steleophaga, two qian)
Grind into powder. Administer according to Yin Qiao San method. If there is obstruction without pain, add Hua Shi (Talcum, six qian), Jie Geng (Platycodon Root, five qian), and Wei Gen (Phragmitis Rhizoma, five qian).
Article 46: Taiyin Damp-Warmth causing hiccups due to Qi-level bi-obstruction and stagnation is treated with Xuan Bi Tang (Unblock Obstruction Decoction).
Stagnation of Clear Yang in the Upper Jiao can also cause hiccups. The treatment principle focuses on gently dispersing Lung Bi.
Xuan Bi Tang Formula (Bitter-Acid Unblocking Method)
Pi Pa Ye (Loquat Leaf, two qian) Yu Jin (Curcumae Radix, one qian five fen) She Ye (Belamcandae Rhizoma, one qian) Bai Tong Cao (Akebia Caulis, one qian) Xiang Dou Chi (Fermented Soybean, one qian five fen)
Boil in five cups of water to obtain two cups. Divide into two doses.
Article 47: Taiyin Damp-Warmth causing panting and urgency is treated with Qian Jin Wei Jing Tang (Thousand Gold Reed Shoot Decoction) added with Xing Ren (Apricot Seed) and Hua Shi (Talcum).
The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states that panting in the Upper Jiao involves urgent breathing. Taiyin Dampness steams into Phlegm, causing restless panting. Therefore, Wei Jing Tang gently disperses Lung Qi, while Xing Ren and Hua Shi unblock orifices and expel Heat-Fluid. If panting/cough is caused by Cold Fluid, it belongs to the category of Fluid Retention diseases and is not covered here.
Qian Jin Wei Jing Tang Added with Hua Shi and Xing Ren Formula (Acrid-Light Method)
Wei Jing (Phragmitis Rhizoma, five qian) Yi Yi Ren (Coix Seed, five qian) Tao Ren (Prunus Persica Seed, two qian) Dong Gua Ren (Benincasae Semen, two qian) Hua Shi (Talcum, three qian) Xing Ren (Apricot Seed, three qian)
Boil in eight cups of water to obtain three cups. Divide into three doses.
Article 48: The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states that Sunstroke (Zhong Shu) presents with body heat, pain, and a faint/weak pulse. This is caused by injuring cold water in summer, with water qi circulating in the skin. Yi Wu Gua Di Tang (Single Herb Melon Thistle Decoction) is the principal formula.
This represents a pattern of less Heat and more Dampness, where Yang is depressed causing disease. Gua Di induces vomiting to expel the pathogen, resolving both Summerheat and Dampness, restoring Clear Yang.
Yi Wu Gua Di Tang Formula
Gua Di (Melonis Fructus Pedicellus, twenty pieces)
Crush. Boil in eight cups of reverse-flowing water to obtain three cups. Take one cup first; if no vomiting, take another. Stop after vomiting ceases. For deficiency cases, add Shen Lu (Ginseng Stem, three qian).
Article 49: Cold-Dampness damaging Yang presents with aversion to cold, slow pulse, pale tongue, or white-slippery coating without thirst, and tight/constricted meridians. Gui Zhi Jiang Fu Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Ginger, and Aconite Decoction) is the principal formula.
Recording Cold-Dampness serves to cross-reference with Damp-Warmth. Regarding Cold-Dampness damaging Exterior Yang and meridians, the *Jin Gui Yao Lue* discusses it in detail, so it is not fully recorded here. Only one case from Ye Tianshi is selected to show that Cold-Dampness and Damp-Warmness must not be confused. Aversion to cold, slow pulse, white non-thirsty tongue, and constricted meridians are entirely Cold patterns. Therefore, Jiang (Ginger) and Fu (Aconite) warm the interior, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizoma) dries dampness, and Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) circulates Exterior Yang.
Gui Zhi Jiang Fu Tang Formula (Bitter-Acid-Hot Method)
Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, six qian) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, three qian) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, raw, three qian) Shu Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, three qian)
Boil in five cups of water to obtain two cups. Re-boil the dregs to obtain one cup for administration.
