Pain, which is consistent in principle with Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) plus Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma).
Cheng Yingmao stated: For patients with dampness disorders, not only should purgation be avoided as a mistake, but also diaphoresis must not be misapplied. In the syndrome of wind-dampness intermingling, where there is generalized body pain, although it slightly involves exterior pathogens, the pulse is not floating, and profuse sweating is ultimately difficult to achieve. The treatment for wind should simultaneously address dampness; the method is to induce slight perspiration, resembling a desire to sweat.
After eight or nine days of Shanghan (Cold Damage), if wind-dampness intermingles, causing severe bodily pain and restlessness, inability to turn over independently, absence of vomiting and thirst, and a floating, deficient, and choppy pulse, Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Root Decoction) is the primary prescription. If the patient presents with hard stools and spontaneous urination, remove Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) and add Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma); Baizhu Tang (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma Decoction) is the primary prescription.
[Annotation] This follows the previous clause, detailing the pulse and symptoms to clarify the treatment. After eight or nine days of Shanghan, the absence of vomiting and thirst indicates no interior pathology of Shanghan; a floating, deficient, and choppy pulse indicates no exterior pathology of Shanghan. A floating and deficient pulse signifies pathogen in the exterior due to deficient wind; a choppy pulse signifies cold-dampness in the meridians. Severe bodily pain belongs to wind; inability to turn over belongs to dampness. This is a syndrome of wind-dampness intermingling, not Shanghan. Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Root Decoction) is used to warm and disperse wind-dampness, allowing resolution from the exterior. If the pulse is floating and excess, Mahuang Jia Zhu Tang (Ephedra Plus Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma Decoction) should be used to vigorously disperse wind-dampness. If the patient has these symptoms, despite hard stools and spontaneous urination, purgation is not considered because the hardness is not due to heat pathogens entering the interior, but rather dryness from wind and removal of dampness. Therefore, Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Root Decoction) is still used, removing Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) because hard stools and spontaneous urination suggest avoiding further diaphoresis that would deplete fluids; Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) is added because heavy sensation and dampness in the muscle layer require assisting Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) to expel dampness from the skin and muscles.
[Collected Annotations] Cheng Wuji stated: Restlessness indicates wind. Bodily pain and inability to turn over indicate dampness. The Classics state: Wind results in a floating and deficient pulse. The Mai Jing (Pulse Classic) states: A choppy pulse indicates cold-dampness disease.
Formula for Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Root Decoction) with Guizhi Removed and Baizhu Added
Fuzi (Prepared, peeled, broken, three pieces), Baizhu (Four liang), Shengjiang (Sliced, three liang), Dazao (Broken open, twelve pieces), Gancao (Honey-fried, two liang).
The above five ingredients are boiled in six sheng of water until two sheng remain. Strain and divide into three warm doses. After the first dose, the patient may feel numbness; after about half a day, administer the second dose. After all three doses are consumed, the patient may experience a sensation of dizziness or confusion; do not be alarmed. This occurs because Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) move within the skin, expelling water qi that has not yet been eliminated. According to the method, Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) four liang should be added. This was originally one formula with two methods: remove Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) for hard stools and spontaneous urination; add Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) for non-hard stools and inhibited urination. Three pieces of Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) may be excessive; for weak individuals and postpartum women, the dosage should be reduced.
If wind-dampness intermingles, causing painful and restless bone joints, pulling pain preventing flexion and extension, severe pain upon touch, sweating, shortness of breath, inhibited urination, aversion to wind with reluctance to remove clothing, or slight edema, Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Root Decoction) is the primary prescription.
[Annotation] Wind-dampness intermingling causes painful and restless bone joints, heaviness, and inability to turn over; this is dampness prevailing over wind. Pulling pain preventing flexion and extension is wind prevailing over dampness. Now, pulling pain prevents flexion and extension, pain worsens upon touch, sweating and shortness of breath occur, and there is aversion to wind with reluctance to remove clothing; all these indicate excess wind pathogens damaging the muscle and exterior. Inhibited urination indicates internal accumulation of dampness. Slight edema indicates external pressure of dampness. Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Root Decoction) is used to induce slight sweating, primarily dispelling wind and secondarily removing dampness. The above two clauses detail the meaning of wind-dampness to clarify its treatment.
[Collected Annotations] Fang Youzhi stated: "Tuan" means kneading together. It refers to wind and dampness combining to form a single pathological entity. "Fan" (restlessness) is wind; "Tong" (pain) is dampness. Excess wind causes pulling sensations; excess dampness causes pain. Wind-dampness pathogens enter the meridians, flow into the joints, and seep into the marrow, causing the body to suffer from restlessness, pain, pulling pain, and dysfunction. Pain worsening upon touch occurs because external pathogens lodge internally, and opposing them causes rebellion. Shortness of breath results from excessive sweating leading to loss of Yang qi and damage to Qi. Aversion to wind with reluctance to remove clothing indicates severe injury, hence severe aversion. Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) tonifies Qi and harmonizes the middle; Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) warms the meridians and disperses dampness; Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) overcomes dampness and dries the Spleen; Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) dispels wind and secures the Wei. These four herbs are the specific medicines for wind-dampness intermingling.
Wu Renju stated: The pulse must be deep and fine. If it is large and floating and vigorous, wind is abundant and dampness is scarce; the use of Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) requires careful consideration.
Formula for Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Root Decoction)
Gancao (Honey-fried, two liang), Fuzi (Prepared, peeled, broken, two pieces), Guizhi (Four liang), Baizhu (Two liang).
The above four ingredients are boiled in six sheng of water until three sheng remain. Strain and take one sheng warm, three times daily. Initial administration inducing slight sweating resolves the condition and restores appetite. If sweating stops and restlessness recurs, take five he. If one sheng is feared to be too much, taking six or seven he is optimal.
[Formula Analysis] The treatment for wind-dampness uses Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Root Decoction), which is Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Root Decoction) minus Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) plus Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma). Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) are removed to avoid aiding diaphoresis. Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) is added to dry dampness in the middle. Taking three doses daily, starting with one sheng: if sweating does not resolve the condition, continue with one sheng. If slight sweating resolves the condition and appetite returns, the resolution is complete, and further dosing can stop. If sweating recurs with restlessness, resolution is incomplete, and dosing should continue, but not another full sheng, to avoid excessive sweating after prior diaphoresis; five he is appropriate. If unresolved, taking six or seven he is optimal. Such dosing instructions always demonstrate the principle of not consuming the entire dose. Scholars who do not understand the rationale can find answers within the text itself.
Taiyang Zhongre (Heat Stroke in Taiyang Meridian), also known as Ye (Summerheat), is characterized by sweating, aversion to cold, fever, and thirst.
[Annotation] Summerheat diseases also enter via the Taiyang exterior, hence it is said: Taiyang Zhongre (Heat Stroke in Taiyang Meridian) is Ye (Summerheat). The patient exhibits sweating, aversion to cold, fever, and thirst, resembling Taiyang Warmth Disease. However, Warmth Disease lacks aversion to cold because heat originates internally; thus, despite sweating, there is no aversion to cold. Ye (Summerheat) involves aversion to cold because summerheat enters from the exterior; thus, sweating accompanies aversion to cold. Regarding the pulse, the floating pulse of Warmth Disease is floating and excess; the floating pulse of Ye (Summerheat) is floating and deficient because summerheat damages Qi. Regarding thirst, in Warmth Disease, early-stage thirst only desires drinking water; in Ye (Summerheat), thirst is intense immediately upon onset. Warmth Disease transmits through the meridians with varied transformations; Ye (Summerheat) does not transmit, and if unhealed, leads to death. Although both are diseases of the Taiyang meridian, their deficiency and excess require different treatments; Renshen Baihu Tang (Ginseng and White Tiger Decoction) is indicated.
[Collected Annotations] Fang Youzhi stated: Steaming heat is called Shu (Summerheat); injuring Shu is called Ye (Summerheat). Sweating and aversion to cold indicate insecure Taiyang exterior. Fever indicates Shu pathogen damaging Yang. Thirst indicates loss of Jin-Ye (Body Fluids) and internal dryness.
Cheng Zhi stated: This distinguishes the pulse and symptoms of summerheat. Taiyang Zhongre (Heat Stroke in Taiyang Meridian) refers to a Taiyang exterior syndrome belonging to middle heat. All are Taiyang exterior diseases: sweating, aversion to cold, fever without thirst is Fengzhong (Wind Strike); sweating, fever, and thirst without aversion to cold is Wenbing (Warm Disease). Now, sweating, aversion to cold, fever, and thirst indicate Zhongye (Summerheat). Ye (Summerheat) is the Qi of summerheat. Referring to "Re" (Heat) instead of "Ye" emphasizes the severity of Stomach heat. Internal heat causes fever and thirst; summerheat damages Qi, causing sweating and aversion to cold.
Wu Renju stated: Do not use acrid-warm herbs due to aversion to cold, nor secure the exterior due to sweating; only sweet-cold herbs should be used to resolve summerheat.
In Taiyang Zhongye (Summerheat in Taiyang Meridian), there is fever, aversion to cold, heaviness, and pain. The pulse is string-taut, fine, knotted, and slow. After urination, there is chills and piloerection. The extremities are cold. Slight exertion causes immediate fever. The mouth opens, and the anterior teeth are dry. If diaphoresis is induced, aversion to cold becomes severe. If moxibustion needles are applied, fever becomes severe. If purgation is repeated, strangury becomes severe.
[Annotation] This elaborates on the previous clause, detailing symptoms and pulse, warning against reckless diaphoresis, purgation, or moxibustion. Taiyang Zhongye (Summerheat in Taiyang Meridian) with no sweating, heaviness, and pain resembles Shanghan (Cold Damage), but the string-taut, fine, knotted, and slow pulse is not characteristic of Shanghan. Additionally, chills and piloerection after urination indicate the Taiyang Bladder exterior Qi is damaged by summerheat. Cold extremities indicate summerheat damaging Qi, which fails to reach the limbs, causing cold. Immediate fever upon slight exertion, opening the mouth, and dry anterior teeth indicate that exertion stirs heat, intensifying summerheat and damaging Yin fluids. These are critical signs of Zhongye (Summerheat). Mistaking fever, no sweating, aversion to cold, and body pain for an exterior Shanghan syndrome and inducing diaphoresis will further weaken exterior Qi, worsening aversion to cold. Mistaking cold extremities for Yang deficiency and applying moxibustion needles will intensify summerheat pathogens, worsening fever. Mistaking high fever and dry teeth for Stomach fire and repeatedly purging will deplete the water source, causing severe strangury. All these conditions result from mishandling Zhongye (Summerheat) with diaphoresis, purgation, or moxibustion. Only Baibu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction) is suitable. Alternatively, Renshen Tang (Ginseng Decoction) mixed with Chen Sha Liu Yi San (Cinnabar Six-to-One Powder) may be used.
[Collected Annotations] Cheng Wuji stated: The Classics say: Due to summerheat sweating, restlessness leads to panting and drinking. Opening the mouth refers to panting and drinking; continuous panting and drinking cause dry anterior teeth.
Cheng Zhi stated: Human Yang escapes via sweat; human Yin is depleted internally by heat. Therefore, Ye (Summerheat) contraindicates diaphoresis, purgation, and moxibustion: diaphoresis damages Yang, purgation damages Yin, and moxibustion draws fire inward.
Zhang Xiju stated: "Sasha" describes the sensation of aversion to cold. "Mao Song" refers to piloerection.
In Taiyang Zhongye (Summerheat in Taiyang Meridian), there is fever, heaviness, pain, and a weak or faint pulse. This is also caused by injuring cold water in summer, with water qi circulating in the skin.
[Annotation] In Taiyang Zhongye (Summerheat in Taiyang Meridian), fever, heaviness, and pain indicate summerheat damaging the形体 (Form/Body); a weak or faint pulse indicates summerheat damaging Qi. Based on these symptoms and pulse, this condition arises when a person, during summer heat, enjoys cool breezes and drinks excessive cold water. Water qi circulates in the skin, the exterior is constrained by pathogens, and sweating is inhibited. At this time, Xiangru Yin (Elsholtzia Decoction) or Da Shun San (Great Harmony Powder) should be administered to induce sweating for immediate recovery. If neglected, water qi cannot escape externally, leading to edema, and inevitably attacks internally, causing wheezing and distension. Then, Tingli Dazao Tang (Lepidii Seed and Jujube Decoction) or Goudi Yi Wu San (Melon Trichosanthes Single-Ingredient Powder) should be used to purge. The previous clause warns against diaphoresis and purgation; this clause indicates when they are appropriate. Zhang Zhongjing's methods often follow this pattern, fearing rigid adherence leads to error.
[Collected Annotations] Fang Youzhi stated: Fever, heaviness, and pain, attributed to summer cold water injury with water qi in the skin, occur because Earth governs muscles and dislikes dampness; water infiltrates Earth and evaporates. A weak or faint pulse indicates heat drying blood and depleting Qi. Drinking water in summer is normal; why is it termed injury? Because summer heat forces excessive drinking, or bathing in cold water causes summerheat to enter internally.
Zhang Lu stated: Regarding the three clauses on Ye (Summerheat): The first describes illness acquired through movement, Zhongye (Summerheat), belonging to external causes; the second describes illness acquired through stillness, also called Zhongye (Summerheat) but actually a Summerheat disease, belonging to internal causes; the third describes illness from heat injuring cold, a variant of Zhongye (Summerheat), belonging to neither internal nor external causes. They should not be conflated.
Cheng Yingmao stated: This shows that Zhongye (Summerheat) diseases generally have Yang Qi at the exterior while the Stomach is deficient and cold, causing fever, heaviness, pain, and a weak or faint pulse. Drinking cold water in summer causes interior Yin to stagnate exterior Yang, preventing water qi from venting and causing it to circulate in the skin, resulting in many such cases. This represents opening stagnation and promoting Yang, adding another dimension to the understanding of Ye (Summerheat).
