Clan nephew: Due to excessive labor injuring Yin fluids, symptoms include dry mouth, epistaxis (nosebleed), flushed cheeks, and mental fatigue. This indicates that Yang Qi failed to submerge during winter; in spring, the pulse became surging with afternoon fever, indicating the triggering of warm pathogens. The treatment principle is to address the warm pathogen first, then the consumptive disorder.

After three doses, the surging pulse subsided, and epistaxis stopped. However, the right Chi position remained unstable, indicating unextinguished ministerial fire. Nourishing Yin and submerging Yang is appropriate.
Prescription: Liuwei Wan formula minus Alisma rhizome (Zexie), added Tortoise plastron (Guiban), Mussel (Dancui), Schisandra chinensis fruit (Wuweizi), and Paeonia lactiflora root (Baishao). Decocted and taken for ten doses with effect.
Xiao: Last autumn, suffered from Yin malaria, extending into this summer. Attacks occurred every three days, twice per cycle, with severe heat and mild chills, left nostril epistaxis, and steaming heat in knees and shins. This resulted from deficiency of Kidney Yin below and flaming up of Gallbladder Fire above. Previous use of Bupleurum root (Chaihu) and Saposhnikovia root (Fangfeng) for ascending and dispersing caused excessive sweating, thirst, vertigo, and persistent epistaxis, all due to medication errors.
