Pain from Yangmei Chuang (Syphilis/Kaposi's sarcoma-like sores) toxin, has its own section.
Body pain after Shang Han (Cold Damage), there are differences between Yang syndrome and Yin syndrome with dampness, treatments differ. See Shang Han section for details.
Pulse: Pulses are mostly Chen (Deep) and Hua (Slippery), or Fu (Floating), Jin (Choppy/Tight), and Shu (Rapid). If the Right Cun pulse is Chen and Shi (Excess), it is suitable to drain the Lung. If the Left Chi pulse is Fu, Da (Large), and Xu (Deficient), it is suitable to nourish the Kidney. If the Right Cun pulse is Chen and Jin, there is cold pathogen in the Lung. If the pulse is Hua and hands/feet are warm, survival is indicated; if limbs are cold, death is indicated. If the pulse is Shu and body is hot, it is difficult to treat. The Cough Pulse Formula says: Fu indicates Wind, Jin indicates Cold, Shu indicates Heat, Xi (Fine) indicates Dampness. These are external pathogens, contracted from outside. Fu-Jin-Xu-Cold, Chen-Shu-Shi-Heat, Hong-Hua indicates much phlegm, Xian-Se indicates little blood. These are internal pathogens, obtained from within. Duan-Se indicates sexual exhaustion, Ruan (Soft) at Right Guan indicates Spleen injury, Xian-Duan at Left Guan indicates Liver injury, Fu-Duan-Se indicates Lung injury. Right Cun Wei-Ji indicates cough, vomiting pus and blood. Fu-Zhi-Ru indicates easy treatment. Chuan Ni (Wheezing and upward rushing Qi), pulse Shu with heat, unable to lie down, difficult to treat. Cough with Xian-Ji pulse about to vanish is a death sign.
Symptoms: *Ji Yao* says: Chuan (Wheezing) is characterized by rapid breathing, panting sounds, opening mouth and raising shoulders, shaking body and sucking in abdomen. Duan Qi (Shortness of breath) is frequent breathing but unable to continue, like wheezing but without shoulder shaking, like groaning but without pain, breathing is urgent but without phlegm sound. Ni Qi (Rebellious Qi) is simply Qi rushing upward urgently, Lung congestion preventing downward flow. Must distinguish carefully. Danxi said: Chuan Ji (Urgent wheezing) is due to Qi deficiency and Fire entering the Lung, constrained by Fire. There are also cases of Fire flaming upward, presence of Phlegm, Yin deficiency rising from lower abdomen, Qi deficiency causing shortness of breath, Water Qi attacking the Lung. All cause urgent wheezing, treatments vary. *Ke Sou Jing* says: Injury by dampness in Autumn leads to Ke Sou (Cough) in Winter. *Ji Yao* says: Ke (Cough without phlegm but with sound) is Lung Qi injury and unclear. Sou (Cough with phlegm but no sound) is Spleen dampness moving to generate phlegm. Ke Sou (Cough with both sound and phlegm) is due to Lung Qi injury and Spleen dampness movement, Sou follows Ke. If injured by Wind causing cough, there is aversion to cold, high fever, sweating, aversion to wind, dry mouth, irritability, thirst, and dryness. Shang Han cough involves aversion to cold, fever, aversion to cold, irritability, no thirst. Huo Ke (Fire cough) is due to excessive Fire flaming upward and drying Lung Metal, leading to constraint and fullness, even cough without phlegm. Or vomiting blood, Tan Lao (Phlegm Consumption) is due to lust causing Kidney deficiency, Child making Mother deficient, Qi and Blood both deficient, Yin deficiency generating Fire, Lung Metal exhausted, fluids, Qi, and Blood all transforming into Phlegm. Phlegm obstructs ascending/descending of clear Qi, stagnant Qi does not move, leading to cough. Fei Zhang (Lung Distension) is extreme Lung Qi injury by Fire, leading to constraint and distension, unable to sleep on either side. Shang Shu (Summerheat injury) also causes cough, symptoms include irritability, heat, desire to drink, dry mouth, vomiting foam, hoarseness, hemoptysis. Shang Shi (Dampness injury) cough involves bone/joint irritation/pain, heavy limbs, chills and fever. Generally, Wind-Cold diseases primarily affect the Lung, as Lung governs skin/hair and exterior. Injury causes pores not to open, Wind-Cold internally constrained in Lung, Clear Descending Qi unfavorable, generating phlegm and cough. Also Cold entering Stomach, traveling up Spleen meridian to Lung, causing Lung Cold, internal/external combined pathogens congesting to cause cough. Students must seek the root to treat, no failure expected.
Treatment: Danxi said: Chuan Sou must distinguish Xu/Shi. Ji Chuan (Urgent wheezing) is Qi Excess and Lung Prosperity, breathing difficulty, Lung orifice congestion, Right Cun pulse Chen-Shi, suitable to drain Lung, using Sang Bai Pi (Mulberry Root Bark), Ting Li Zi (Descurainia Seed), Xing Ren (Apricot Seed) to drain. Or use San Ao Tang (Three Unbinding Decoction), Ma Huang (Ephedra) is best for calming wheezing, severe cases add Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Shi Gao (Gypsum). Xu Chuan (Deficient wheezing) is Kidney deficiency, initially feeling shortness of breath, hypochondriac fullness, Left Chi pulse Da but weak, suitable to tonify Kidney, using E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Ren Shen (Ginseng), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry) to tonify. For Phlegm, clear phlegm; for Fire, descend Fire, Er Chen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with Qin, Lian (Coptis), Gua Lou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange) is main treatment. Water Qi Chuan cannot lie down, lying down worsens wheezing, because Fire Qi ascends to Lung, Lung floats with Water, Qi congested and blocked, suitable for Shen Mi Tang. Also said: Treating Sou most importantly distinguishes Lung Xu/Shi and Xin/Jiu (New/Old) to treat. Jiu Sou (Old cough) Lung Xu, suitable to tonify with Kuan Dong Hua (Coltsfoot Flower), Zi Wan (Aster Root), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry), Ma Dou Ling (Aristolochia Stem). If Lung Shi with Fire pathogen, use Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Xing Ren (Apricot Seed), Sang Bai Pi (Mulberry Root Bark) to drain. New disease Wind-Cold, then disperse, use Ma Huang (Ephedra), Cong Bai (Green Onion White), Xing Ren (Apricot Seed), Qian Hu (Peucedanum Root), Jin Fei Cao (Boehmeria Leaf) etc. Fire-Heat then clear, use Qin, Lian (Coptis), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) etc. Damp-Heat then drain, use Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber), Bei Mu (Fritillaria Bulb), Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome), Shi Gao (Gypsum), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Shan Zhi (Gardenia Fruit) etc. Long-term disease belongs to Xu and Yu (Constraint), Qi deficiency then tonify Qi, Blood deficiency then tonify Blood, with Phlegm then move Phlegm, with Constraint then open Constraint, moisten, lubricate, stop cough, descend Qi. This is the general method for treating cough.
