Diarrhea accompanied by pain in the anal region should be treated with warming methods; it is appropriate to apply roasted wood salt via moxibustion-like ironing. Another method involves using processed Zhi Shi (Fructus Aurantii) for ironing.
Question: In warm disease, if sweating occurs followed immediately by recurrent fever, with a rapid and restless pulse that does not diminish after sweating, along with delirium and inability to eat, what is the name of this disease? Answer: It is called Yin-Yang Jiao (Intertwining of Yin and Yang), where "Jiao" indicates death. The reason humans sweat is due to grain qi, which generates essence. When pathogenic factors contend with essence in the muscles and bones, sweating indicates that the pathogen is retreating and essence is victorious. If essence is victorious, the patient should be able to eat and fever should cease. Fever represents pathogenic factors; sweating represents essence. Now, if sweating is followed immediately by recurrent fever, it indicates that pathogenic factors are overpowering essence. The inability to eat means essence lacks support. If fever persists despite sweating, life can be lost instantly.
If the pulse remains rapid and vigorous after sweating, it is a sign of death. This is because the pulse does not correspond with the sweating, indicating that healthy qi cannot overcome the disease. Delirium signifies loss of Shen (Spirit); loss of Spirit leads to death. There are three signs of death with no sign of life; even if there is temporary improvement, death is inevitable.
In heat disease, if sweating has occurred but the pulse remains rapid and vigorous, this is the extreme of Yang pulses, indicating death. If the pulse becomes calm after sweating, it indicates survival.
In heat disease, if the pulse remains rapid and vigorous but no sweating occurs, this is the extreme of Yang pulses, indicating death. If the pulse is rapid and vigorous but sweating occurs, it indicates survival.
In heat disease, if sweating has occurred but the pulse remains rapid, accompanied by wheezing and recurrent fever, do not needle the skin. If wheezing is severe, it indicates death.
Heat disease characterized by Yin-Yang Jiao indicates death.
In heat disease, if irritability ceases and sweating occurs, the pulse should become calm.
In Taiyang disease, if the pulse is unexpectedly rapid and vigorous, this is Yin-Yang Jiao, indicating death. If sweating subsequently occurs and the pulse becomes calm, it indicates survival.
In heat disease, characterized by Yin-Yang Jiao, presenting with heat, irritability, and bodily restlessness, if the Cun Kou (inch position) pulse of the Taiyin channel is still rapid and vigorous on both sides, this is Yin-Yang Jiao, indicating death. If the pulse becomes calm after sweating, it indicates survival.
In heat disease, if Yang advances and Yin retreats, with sweating only on the head, it indicates death. If Yin advances and Yang retreats, with sweating from the waist down to the feet, it also indicates death. If both Yin and Yang advance, and sweating occurs but the heat remains unchanged, it indicates death. If both Yin and Yang retreat, and after sweating, chills persist without stopping, with cold breath from the nose and mouth, it also indicates death. (Above: Section on Heat Disease, Yin-Yang Jiao.)
Heat disease referred to as "Bing Yin" (Merging with Yin) occurs when heat disease has sweated, allowing for discharge; this is Bing Yin, and thus it is treatable. ("Zhi" may be read as "Huo" [alive/survive].)
Heat disease referred to as "Bing Yang" (Merging with Yang) occurs when heat disease has sweated, yet the pulse remains rapid and vigorous with high fever. Through diaphoresis treatment, although no sweating occurs, or if nasal bleeding (Nu) occurs, this is Bing Yang, and thus it is treatable. Above: Section on Heat Disease Merging with Yin and Yang.
Shaoyin disease with aversion to cold, curling up, diarrhea, and cold extremities is untreatable.
Shaoyin disease with cessation of diarrhea but accompanied by dizziness and frequent sensations of fainting/blackouts indicates death.
Shaoyin disease with vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, and reversal indicates death.
Shaoyin disease with cold limbs, aversion to cold, curling up, absent pulse, non-irritability but restlessness indicates death.
Shaoyin disease lasting six or seven days, with shallow and rapid breathing (Xi Gao), indicates death.
Shaoyin disease with a minute, fine, and deep pulse, desire to sleep, sweating without irritability, spontaneous urge to vomit, spontaneous diarrhea after five to six days, followed by irritability and inability to lie down or sleep, indicates death.
Shaoyin disease with diarrhea: if the diarrhea stops, and although there is aversion to cold and curling up, the hands and feet are warm, it is treatable.
Shaoyin disease with aversion to cold and curling up, frequent self-induced irritability, and desire to remove clothing and blankets, is treatable.
Shaoyin disease with stopped diarrhea, cold limbs, absent pulse, dry mouth, and irritability (another version reads dry heaving). After taking herbal decoctions, if the pulse suddenly bursts forth, it indicates death. If the pulse remains minute and fine, it indicates survival. Above: Shaoyin Section.
Shanghan (Cold Damage) lasting six or seven days, with a minute pulse, cold limbs, and irritability: if moxa is applied to the Jueyin channel and cold limbs do not recover, it indicates death.
Shanghan with diarrhea, cold limbs, and restlessness preventing lying down indicates death.
Shanghan with fever and diarrhea progressing to unceasing cold limbs indicates death.
Shanghan with cold limbs: if there has been no diarrhea for six or seven days, and sudden fever with diarrhea occurs, it indicates survival. However, if the patient sweats and diarrhea continues unceasingly, it indicates death. This is due to having only Yin without Yang.
Shanghan for five or six days, without chest binding syndrome, soft abdomen, weak pulse, and cold limbs: purgation must not be used. If purgation is mistakenly used, causing blood loss, it indicates death.
Shanghan with fever and cold limbs: if diarrhea occurs on the seventh day, it is difficult to treat. Above: Cold Limbs Section.
Heat disease with unknown pain location, inability to control one's body, dry mouth, extreme Yang heat, yet significant Yin cold, indicates heat in the marrow; this is fatal and untreatable.
Heat affecting the Kidney causes thirst, dry mouth, yellow-red scorched tongue coating, incessant desire to drink day and night, abdominal distension, and continued lack of satisfaction with drinking. With eyes lacking luster, it is fatal and untreatable. Spleen injury leads to wind-stroke; Yin and Yang Qi separate, and Yin does not follow Yang. Therefore, prognosis is assessed by observing three parts for signs of life or death.
Shanghan with coughing and rebellious Qi rising, with a scattered pulse, indicates death. This is due to the depletion of the physical form.
Shanghan with diarrhea occurring more than ten times a day, with a surprisingly solid pulse, indicates death. If the patient has had a fixed mass (Pi) under the ribs since long ago, not located beside the navel, with pain radiating to the lower abdomen and into the genital region involving the tendons, this is Zang Jie (Organ Knotting), indicating death. Excess conditions lead to delirious speech; deficiency conditions lead to Zheng Sheng (repetitive speech). Zheng Sheng refers to repetitive utterances. Fixed gaze, delirium, and wheezing/fullness indicate death. If accompanied by diarrhea, it also indicates death. If all symptoms of Chest Binding Syndrome are present but accompanied by restlessness, it indicates death. Tongue protrusion and rolling downward indicate death. Saliva resembling glue is difficult to resolve. If moisture slowly returns to the four sides of the tongue, it indicates impending resolution. If the patient reaches their menstrual cycle, the upper lip shows color, and the pulse is harmonious, it indicates impending resolution. If the complexion appears urgent/tense, resolution has not yet occurred. Above: Section on Exhaustion of Yin and Yang.
