经曰∶夏伤于暑，秋必 疟（ ，老也。俗名三日疟。）夏热已甚，秋阳复收，两热相攻故为
疟。帝曰∶疟先寒而后热者何也？岐伯对曰∶夏伤于大暑，其汗大出，腠理开发，因遇夏气凄怆之
小寒，藏于脉理皮肤之中，秋伤于风，则病成矣。夫寒者，阴气也；风者，阳气也。先伤于寒而后
伤于风，故先寒而后热也。病以时作，名曰寒疟（云云。）《内经》论疟极详，皆谓风寒暑湿之邪
客于脏腑，致阴阳上下交争，虚实更作，阴阳相并相移也。后人始论七情劳役，食积痰饮皆成疟。
所谓无汗要有汗，发散邪为主，带补；有汗要无汗，扶正气为主，带散（发散邪则升，葛、芎、苍
、柴胡之类；扶正气谓小柴、桂枝汤，白虎、桂枝汤之类。犹伤寒有汗，用桂枝疏邪，实表之义。）
又谓伤之浅者近而暴，伤之重者远而缓，为 疟也。疟脉自弦，弦数多热，弦迟多寒，弦紧发汗，
弦迟宜温。疟不宜截早，欲速愈则邪气闭塞，而成他证，为害匪细，有变水肿、鼓胀、诸毒等证。
惟夏秋连日发邪疟四、五次可截（如二、三日发及阴疟，必先发汗散邪，势轻，常山药截亦可。）

The ancient texts state: "In summer, one is injured by heat; in autumn, malaria (malaria, derived from 'nue' meaning cruel and 'lao' meaning chronic, commonly known as tertian malaria) will inevitably occur. Summer heat is extreme, and in autumn the yang qi retracts; the conflict between these two heats results in malaria. The Yellow Emperor asked: Why does malaria begin with chills followed by fever? Qibo replied: In summer, one is injured by intense heat, causing profuse sweating and the opening of couli (skin pores and interstices). If one then encounters the chilling cold of early summer, the cold qi hides within the meridians and skin. In autumn, injury by wind completes the disease formation. Cold is yin qi; wind is yang qi. Injury by cold first, then by wind, leads to chills first and fever later. When the illness occurs at regular intervals, it is called cold malaria (further details omitted). The *Neijing* discusses malaria extensively, stating that pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, summerheat, and dampness lodge in the zang-fu organs, causing a struggle between yin and yang above and below, alternating deficiency and excess, and mutual blending and shifting of yin and yang. Later physicians discussed how the seven emotions (joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, fright), overwork, food stagnation, and phlegm-fluid retention can also cause malaria. It is said: For those without sweat, induce sweating; the primary goal is to disperse pathogens, supplemented by tonification. For those with sweat, stop sweating; the primary goal is to support healthy qi, supplemented by dispersing pathogens (Dispersing pathogens involves ascending agents like Shengma, Gegen, Chuanxiong, Cangzhu, and Chaihu; supporting healthy qi involves formulas like Xiao Chai Hu Tang, Gui Zhi Tang, Bai Hu Jia Gui Zhi Tang. This is similar to the principle of using Gui Zhi Tang to release exterior pathogens and secure the surface in Taiyang syndrome with sweating.) Furthermore, shallow injury manifests near and abruptly, while heavy injury manifests distant and slowly, which characterizes malaria. The pulse in malaria is naturally wiry (Xian). Wiry and rapid indicates more heat; wiry and slow indicates more cold. Wiry-tight pulse warrants diaphoresis; wiry-slow pulse warrants warming. Malaria should not be arrested too early. Seeking a quick cure by forcibly arresting the parasite causes pathogenic closure, leading to other syndromes, which is harmful, potentially evolving into edema, drum distension, or various toxic syndromes. Only for epidemic malaria occurring continuously for four to five days in summer and autumn can it be arrested (For intermittent malaria occurring every two or three days, or Yin malaria, diaphoresis to disperse pathogens must be performed first; for mild cases, simple herbs like Dioscorea can be used to arrest it.)
Main Formula: Cangzhu, Chuanxiong, Baizhi, Qianghuo, Fangfeng, Gegen, Chaihu (equal parts), Gancao (half dose), add Jiang (fresh ginger) and Zao (jujube), decoct and take.
For no sweat: add Zisu, Xixin, Jingjie Sui, Congtou.
For sweat: add Guizhi, Binglang, Shaoyao, Baizhu (soil-fried), Fuling; remove Cangzhu.
For continuous days and morning onset: add Huangqin.
For alternate days and afternoon/night onset: add Danggui and Shaoyao (each 8 fen), Honghua and Shengma (each 3 fen).
For phlegm: add Chenpi and Banxia.
For food stagnation, indigestion, bloating, and pain: add Shanzha, Shenqu, Maiya, Qingpi, Chenpi, Caoguo, Sharen.
For summer months: add Xiangru and Biandou, take Liuyi San concurrently.
For severe thirst: add Shigao, Zhimu, Maidong.
For chest stuffiness: add Zhishi and Jiegeng.
For severe cold and mild heat: add Ganjiang, Guanzi, Liangjiang, Baizhu; remove Mahuang, Gegen, Chaihu, Cangzhu.
For severe cold: add Fuzi.
For damp malaria (body heaviness, pain, vomiting, and fullness due to rain/dampness): add Zhuling, Zexie, Baizhu, Fuling, Chenpi, Banxia; remove Gegen, Chaihu. After taking one or two doses, take Qing Pi Yin added with Zhuling and Zexie to differentiate yin and yang, and malaria will cease spontaneously. If it does not cease, for cases occurring once during the day before Chushu (End of Heat), after three or four occurrences, proceed to arrest the malaria. For cases occurring every other day or every third day at night after Chushu, first take the main formula for two or three doses. In cold weather, add Mahuang to ensure sweating. If delayed to daytime occurrence, use the main formula added with Danggui, Shaoyao, Shengdi, Zhimu, and a small amount of Shengma and Honghua (wine-washed) to advance the onset from every two days to every day, gradually lightening the condition. If sweating is irregular, appetite is poor, body is fatigued and weak, or the condition persists long-term causing dual deficiency of qi and blood; or if slight exertion exacerbates symptoms, take Bazhen Tang (see Deficiency Syndrome chapter) or Shiquan Dabu Tang. If slight heat remains, add Chaihu, Huangqin, Cangzhu, Gegen to the tonifying formula, combining tonification with dispersion. For chronic non-resolving cases, use Six Beast Drink (Sishou Yin) to arrest. For chronic deficiency with retching but no vomit, take Lili powder mixed with water until vomiting occurs; or use Xionghuang, Gouti, and Chi Xiaodou (each 2 fen) ground into powder to induce vomiting.
Qing Pi Yin: Treats malaria starting with chills then fever, where heat exceeds chills, or pure heat without chills.
Huangqin, Banxia, Qingpi, Houpo, Fuling, Baizhu (each 1 qian), Caoguo (1 qian), Chaihu (1.5 qian), Gancao (0.5 qian).
Add three slices of fresh ginger and one black jujube, decoct in water and take.
Renshen Yangwei Tang: Treats malaria with more chills than heat, or pure chills without heat.
Cangzhu (2 qian), Chenpi, Houpo (each 1.5 qian), Banxia, Fuling, Caoguo, Huoxiang, Renshen, Zhi Gancao (each 1 qian), Wumei (one fruit), three slices of fresh ginger.
Decoct in water and take.
Qibao Yin: Treats various types of malaria. Used after administering exterior-releasing and pathogen-dispersing medicines, lifting pathogens to the Yang level, when symptoms lighten and arrest is desired.
Chanshan, Houpo (ginger-processed), Qingpi, Chenpi, Gancao (roasted, half dose), Binglang, Caoguo (each 1 qian).
Decoct with half wine and half water for the first extraction; leave the second extraction exposed overnight. On the day of onset, warm early in the morning. Drink the first extraction first, then the second, facing east.
Caoguo Yin: General formula for various malaria.
Caoguo, Baizhi, Liangjiang, Qingpi, Chuanxiong, Zisu, Gancao (roasted. Equal parts).
Coarsely crush. Take 5 qian per dose. Decoct with one and a half cups of water and ginger. Also suitable for cold malaria.
Sishou Yin (Six Beast Drink): Arrests deficiency malaria and chronic malaria.
Renshen, Baizhu, Fuling, Gancao (half dose), Chenpi, Banxia, Caoguo.
Add Wumei, Jiang, Zao, and a little salt. Mix and marinate briefly. Wrap in wet paper and roast until fragrant. Decoct and take.
Jiemie Chanshan Yin: Treats malaria after four to five consecutive days of onset before Chushu.
Chanshan, Binglang, Wumei, Caoguo, Zhimu, Gancao (roasted), Chuanshanjia (fried).
Take 5 qian per dose. Decoct with one and a half cups of water. Leave exposed overnight. Warm and take two hours before the expected onset.
Biejia Yin: Treats persistent malaria with hypochondriac fullness and abdominal masses, named Nuomu (Malaria Mother).
Biejia (vinegar-roasted), Caoguoren, Huangqi, Baizhu, Shaoyao, Houpo (processed), Binglang, Juhong, Chuanxiong, Gancao (roasted. Equal parts).
Coarsely crush. Take 4 qian per dose. Decoct with one cup of water, seven slices of ginger, one jujube, and one wumei.
Zhang Nian (Miasma Malaria) is caused by mountain miasma steaming, where dryness and dampness are irregular in Lingnan. Patients suffer from blood rushing to the upper jiao causing confusion and stupor; some lose their voice. This is caused by excess heat. Use Liang Ge San to unblock the bowels; or Xiao Chai Hu Tang added with Dahuang; or regulate with Pingwei San, Wuling San, Erchen Tang, etc.
Simple Formula (Arrest Malaria): Chanshan, Caoguo, Zhimu, Beimu (each 1 qian). Soak in half a cup of good wine overnight. Boil vigorously at dawn. Take facing east.
Qizhuan Dan (Suitable for consecutive days, contraindicated for every-third-day): Badou (kernel, ground, 5 qian), Shexiang (5 fen, East), Baifan (5 qian), Baizhi (2 qian, West), Liuhuang, Xionghuang (each 5 qian, Center), Guanzi (5 qian), Zhusha (1 qian, South), Qingdai (5 qian), Heifu (3 qian, North).
Grind each ingredient separately into fine powder and package individually. Arrange on a clean plate according to directions, offer before deities. On the Noon hour of Duanwu Festival, pray sincerely. Mix with tips of zongzi from five families to form pills the size of tung seeds. On the day of onset, at fifth watch (early morning), wrap one pill in cotton and insert into the nostril (left for men, right for women). After use, wash with vinegar, dry, and store. Can cure seven people. Avoid contact with women, funerals, chickens, and dogs.
Malaria (every third day): Due to deep invasion of wind-cold, onset is delayed. Must use the Main Formula. Reduce Gegen, add Zisu, Binglang, Chenpi, Banxia, Congbai. Add Mahuang in winter; add Shanzha, Maiya for food stagnation. Induce heavy sweating. If sweat does not flow freely from head to toe, sweat again. Then use Chaige Jieli Tang added with Chenpi, Banxia, Fuling, Binglang. Then Qing Pi Yin added with Zhuling, Zexie, Chenpi; malaria will stop. If symptoms lighten but persist, arrest with wine-boiled Chanshan etc. without harm. If no sweating/pathogen dispersal is done, and Chanshan is used directly to arrest, swelling may develop after one or two years leading to death. Using only Renshen for tonification is like locking the door to keep thieves inside. For deficient and elderly patients, use Renshen and Baizhu.
