Question: How can one distinguish the pulse in a case of abdominal pain caused by intestinal parasites? The Master said: In cases of abdominal pain, the pulse should typically be deep or wiry. If it is instead flooding and large, it indicates the presence of roundworms.
The Master said: When a woman presents with a normal pulse generally, but the Yin pulse (radial pulse at the cun position, often referring to the chi position in context of pregnancy diagnosis) is small and weak, and she experiences thirst, inability to eat, without aversion to cold or fever, this is named pregnancy. Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is the primary treatment. According to standard practice, these symptoms appear around sixty days of gestation; if improper medical intervention causes reversal/disorder, and after another month vomiting or diarrhea occurs, the previous treatment should be discontinued (or the cause severed).
When a pregnant woman at six or seven months presents with a wiry pulse, fever, increased abdominal distension of the fetus, abdominal pain, and aversion to cold, with a sensation of cold wind blowing on the lower abdomen, this is because the Zi Zang (uterus) is open. Therefore, Fuzi Tang (Aconite Decoction) should be used to warm the uterus.
