Pan: Hiccups occurred continuously without cessation day and night. The physician used Dingxiang Shidi San (Clove and Persimmon Calyx Powder) with added Baikou (White Cardamom), Muxiang (Aucklandia Root), and Dao Dou Jia (Knife Bean Pod). Symptoms would cease temporarily only to recur, leading to suffocation and fainting; the patient could sit but not lie down.
Pulse examination revealed a deficient, floating, and rapid pulse. Rebellious Qi ascended from the Dantian (Lower Abdomen), directly invading the clear orifices' pathway. This is Liver pathogenic factors invading the Stomach. Ding (Clove), Di (Persimmon Calyx), Kou (Cardamom), and Xiang (Aucklandia) are acrid-warm substances that assist fire; how could they be effective? A heavy sedation method for rebellious Qi was employed: Xuanfu Daizhe Tang (Inula and Hematite Decoction) with Ginseng removed, plus Shijueming (Aragonite, vinegar-processed) and Cijili (Tribulus Fruit, vinegar-fried) to drain the Liver, Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome, prepared with green salt) to descend phlegm, Chenxiang (Aquilaria Wood, ground into juice) to direct Qi downward. After one dose, rebellious Qi was settled, spirit calmed, and deep sleep ensued. He dreamed of an old woman leading a child who stroked his left hypochondrium saying, "Healed." Upon waking, hiccups significantly decreased; after two more doses, they disappeared entirely. When asked about the person in the dream, I said this indicates that after subduing the Liver, the spirits of the Heart and Spleen found peace. For the spirit of the Spleen is named Huangpo (Yellow Matron), and the spirit of the Heart is named Ying'er (Infant).
Xue: Hiccups due to Phlegm-Fire, accompanied by fever and cough, with a floating and rapid pulse. This is Lung affected by Fire scorching, with Phlegm knotting above the diaphragm, resulting in the loss of its normal descending authority. Treatment utilized bitter-acidic methods to direct Qi downward. Jupi Zhuru Tang (Tangerine Peel and Bamboo Shavings Decoction) with Ginseng and Licorice removed, plus Zhizi (Gardenia Fruit), Xingren (Apricot Seed), Qianhu (Peucedanum Root), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Douchi (Fermented Soybean), and Yujin Zhi (Curcuma Juice). After two doses, symptoms completely subsided.
Pan: In early winter, alternating chills and fever with spontaneous diarrhea occurred, along with irritability, thirst, and insomnia. Vomiting of turbid phlegm was present. The right pulse was slightly small, rapid, and indistinct; the left Guan position was wiry and slightly tense. This is diarrhea with coordinated heat, where Stomach deficiency allows Liver Wood to invade Spleen Earth, inevitably leading to yue ni (hiccups). Initial treatment focused on resolving both exterior and interior using a formula modeled after Zhang Jingyue's Chai Chen Jian (Bupleurum and Tangerine Peel Decoction): Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Banxia Qu (Pinellia Fermented Paste), Fuling (Poria), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel), Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Zhike (Aurantium Fructus Immaturus), and Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger). Chills and fever receded, irritability and thirst resolved, yet hiccups indeed appeared. This was due to turbid phlegm failing to descend and Liver Qi rising. The approach should be to descend phlegm and subdue rebellion simultaneously. Su Zi (Perilla Fruit), Xingren (Apricot Seed, both stir-fried and crushed), Juhong (Red Tangerine Peel), Zhuru (Bamboo Shavings), Fuling (Poria), Daizhe Shi (Hematite), Shijueming (Aragonite, vinegar-ground), and Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice) were used. After one dose, the left Guan pulse normalized; after another dose, hiccups ceased. However, the right Guan position remained deficient, prompting a strategy to subdue and tonify the Middle Jiao (Spleen/Stomach), as stated, "Stomach deficiency leads to hiccups." Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Bian Dou (Lablab Bean), Yiren (Coix Seed, all stir-fried), Zhi Gancao (Prepared Licorice Root), Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel), Fuling (Poria), and Chenxiang Zhi (Aquilaria Juice) were administered, stopping the hiccups. Yet, slight insomnia at night and mild fullness in the upper epigastrium caused phlegm foam to rise with Qi, resulting in intermittent hiccups. Treatment employed dredging and securing methods, assisted by promoting Spleen function, i.e., "The Spleen can transport fluids for the Stomach." Louren (Trichosanthes Seed), Weijiang (Roasted Ginger), Yimi (Coix Seed, raw), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Jubai (Tangerine Pith), Sharen (Amomum Fruit), Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome), and Lianzi (Lotus Seed) were used. Qi leveled, hiccups stopped, and appetite returned. Louren was removed from the previous formula, and Lushen (Codonopsis Root), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), and Zaoren (Ziziphus Seed) were added, restoring normal eating habits.
Bao: Hiccups and vomiting of saliva, worsening after meals, indicate Liver and Stomach disease. It was reported that after recovery from Yin malaria, bathing in pools during summer and autumn, combined with consuming raw and cold foods, led to vomiting and hiccups, accompanied by occasional chills. The Lung governs skin and hair; external water-cold invades, affecting the meridians. The Stomach governs reception and passage; raw/cold foods damage Yang, causing Qi to rebel with turbidity. Fear of cold stems from Lung-Wei (Defensive) deficiency, not exogenous pathogens in the meridians. Zhang Zhongjing considered vomiting saliva as a Liver disease; Liver pathology must invade the Yangming Stomach Fu organ. Initially, warm unblocking and turbid-draining methods were used: Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction) with Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome) and Jiaomu (Zanthoxylum Seed). Vomiting and hiccups ceased. Subsequently, Xuanfu Daizhe Tang (Inula and Hematite Decoction) was used to settle hiccups.
Gui: Post-illness pulse was deficient and rapid, particularly weak at the left Guan and Chi positions. Stomach deficiency caused hiccups; inevitably, Liver-Kidney Qi surged upward, meeting the opposition of the Yangming Stomach, thus producing hiccups. Resolving phlegm and benefiting Qi opens the pathways. For an elderly person with constitutional deficiency, sedation and securing are indicated. Musli (Oyster Shell, vinegar-quenched, 3 qian), Shijueming (Aragonite, ground, 2 qian), Daizhe Shi (Hematite, 1.5 qian), Zhuru (Bamboo Shavings, 2 qian), Lushen (Codonopsis Root), and Jiangxiang Mo (Dalbergia Odorifera Endodermis powder, each 3 qian) were prescribed. After one dose, hiccups stopped. After two more doses, Shijueming and Daizhe Shi were removed, and Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Zaoren (Ziziphus Seed), Yuanzhi (Polygala Root), and Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome) were added. After administration, the pulse also became harmonious.
