Li: Shan disease is closely related to the Liver channel. However, the Classics state that when the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) is diseased, men suffer from seven types of internal Shan accumulation, and women experience leukorrhea and Jia Ju (abdominal masses), all of which are governed by the Extraordinary Vessels. If old ailments are not managed, the pathogenic stagnation in the Extraordinary Vessels remains unresolved. Now, exposure to cold triggers an attack, accompanied by audible Qi movement and pain radiating to the testicles. Treatment should focus on guiding out stagnation and unblocking collaterals, following the principle of Huixiang Wan (Fennel Pill). The prescription includes Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculum Vulgare Fruit), Ju He (Citrini Semen), Hulu Ba (Trigonellae Semen), Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizoma, all stir-fried with wine), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Lu Jiao Jiao (Colla Cornus Cervi). These are made into pills and taken with wine for good effect.
Wang: The condition progressed from acid regurgitation to a dragging sensation in the lower abdomen on one side, with swelling of the scrotum and pain in the testicles. Sourness arises from Liver Qi stagnation; when Qi sinks downward into the lower jiao, it forms Shan, which is often caused by Damp-Heat pathogens. The Classics say: "When pathogenic factors lodge in the Luo vessels of the Foot-Jueyin (Liver) channel, sudden Shan and acute pain occur," because the Liver channel connects to the genitalia. Zhang Zihe treated Shan using Jin Ling Zi San (Chuanlinsan), to drain the Liver and guide rebellious Qi downward, which aligns well with this case. The prescription consists of Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus), Chuan Lian Zi (Meliae Toosendan Fructus), Ju He (Citrini Semen), Fu Ling (Poria), Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizoma), Qing Cong Guan (Allii Fistulosi Caulis), and Mu Tong (Akebiae Caulis). After several doses, the patient stabilized.
Zhao: The Shan originates from below, with Qi rushing upward causing sudden pain, and downward radiation to the testicles. This is the "Chong Shan" among the seven types of Shan. The Classics state: "When the Du Mai (Governing Vessel) is diseased, Qi rushes from the lower abdomen up to the heart, and pain prevents normal urination and defecation, called Chong Shan." The prescription includes Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Chuan Lian Zi (Meliae Toosendan Fructus, pitted and wine-fried), Li Zhi He (Litchi Seed), Ju He (Citrini Semen), Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizoma, all wine-baked), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chi Ling Shen (Polyporus cum Mycelium), and Jiang Xiang (Dalbergiae Odoriferae Lignum). Generally, acute Shan is mostly due to Cold, while chronic Shan tends toward Heat. By addressing the heat/cold nature to disperse stagnation, swelling and pain will resolve spontaneously.
Wang: There is a dragging sensation on the left side of the abdomen, with swollen and painful testicles, slightly relieved during sleep. This was caused by heavy lifting and overexertion. Since the Liver channel connects to the genitalia, when the Luo vessels are deficient and strain occurs, Qi penetrates into the scrotum. Prolonged duration leads to Jin Shan (Sinew Shan). Ancients treating Shan always used pungent, aromatic, and moving herbs. Because the Liver prefers free flow and discharge, pain subsides only when Qi moves freely. During medication, physical exertion should be restrained. The prescription includes Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma, salt-processed), Sheng Ma (Ephedrae Caulis or Cimicifugae Rhizoma - *Note: Context implies Cimicifugae for lifting*, but usually Sheng Ma refers to Ephedrae in some contexts or Cimicifugae in others; here likely Cimicifugae for lifting Qi given the context of prolapse, but strictly translating name as Sheng Ma*), Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculum Vulgare Fruit), Ju He (Citrini Semen), Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizoma, wine-baked), Si Gua Jin (Luffae Fibroreticulata Retinervium), and Yi Mi (Coicis Semen). Decocted in long-flowing water, two doses resulted in cure.
Lv: Due to labor-induced dragging sensation, with weak and soft pulse. As there is a childhood history of illness, treatment requires tonification combined with lifting. The prescription includes Lu Shen (Codonopsis Radix, 3 qian), Lu Jiao Shuang (Cornu Cervi Degelatinatum), Zhi Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Qi Zi (Lycii Fructus, baked, each 2 qian), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, 6 fen), Ju He (Citrini Semen, wine-fried), and Xu Duan (Dipsaci Radix, each 1.5 qian). Decocted with Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) and Zao (Jujubae Fructus). Ten doses showed efficacy.
