(Attachment: Fatigue and excessive desire to lie down)
The Classics state: Yang represents the Qi of Heaven and governs the exterior; Yin represents the Qi of Earth and governs the interior. Therefore, the principle of Yang is fullness (Shi), and the principle of Yin is emptiness (Xu). Those who contract thieving winds and empty pathogens are affected by Yang; those whose diet is irregular and daily routine is untimely are affected by Yin, which constitutes internal injury. When affected by Yang, the pathogen enters the Six Fu Organs; when affected by Yin, the pathogen enters the Five Zang Organs. Entering the Six Fu Organs results in fever with a desire to lie down frequently, and upward manifestations such as wheezing and calling out; entering the Five Zang Organs results in abdominal distension and obstruction, and downward manifestations such as diarrhea with undigested food (Sun Xie), which over time develops into dysentery (Chang Pi). Generally, internal injuries caused by dietary excess, labor, or sexual indiscretion resemble external contractions; misdiagnosis and mistreatment can be dangerous. In internal injury, the Qikou pulse (one fen anterior to the Right Cun position) is large; chills and fever occur alternately; aversion to cold resolves with slight warmth; there is fear of slight wind; speech is lazy and timid; symptoms are initially severe then mild; palms are hot; headache comes and goes; there is lethargy and desire to sleep; limbs are weak and unresponsive; taste is lost; there is anorexia without thirst; treatment should involve tonification (warm tonification and nourishment). In external contraction, the Renying pulse (one fen anterior to the Left Cun position) is large; chills and fever occur simultaneously; aversion to cold persists even near intense fire; there is fear of all winds; speech is loud and vigorous; symptoms are initially mild then severe; back of hands are hot; headache is constant without cessation; tendons spasm and bones ache; the body is stiff and curled up; taste is preserved; eating is possible but accompanied by thirst; treatment should involve purgation (purging, draining, sweating, vomiting). If accompanied by minor pathogens, first administer one dose of a dispersing formula (the main formula for Cold Damage).
