Treating malaria characterized by more chills and less fever is named Mu Malaria (Oyster Malaria). This powder is the primary treatment.
Shuqi (Scutellariae Radix prepared by burning to remove fishy odor), Yunmu (Cloud Mother, likely referring to a mineral drug like Muscovite or similar, processed by burning for two days and nights), Longgu (Dragon Bone, fossilized mammal bones) in equal parts.
The above three herbs are pounded into a powder. Before the onset of the malaria attack, take half a qianbi (a small measuring spoon) with Jiangshui (fermented grain water).
Song says: Yang Qi is obstructed and trapped by phlegm-turbidity in the heart region; the Yin pathogen of Mu Malaria comes and goes freely. Shuqi, Yunmu, and Longgu are pounded equally; taking it beforehand with Jiangshui adheres to the rules.
Wang Jinsan states: The pathogenic factor knots and lingers below the heart; Heart Yang is depressed and constrained, unable to circulate freely. During malaria attacks, there are many chills and little fever; one cannot claim it is purely Yin-Cold. It is treated with Shuqi... [text missing] ...to treat Mu Malaria.
Muli Tang (Oyster Decoction):
Muli (Oyster Shell), Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) (each 4 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (2 liang), Shuqi (Scutellariae Radix) (3 liang).
The above four herbs are boiled in 8 sheng of water. First boil Shuqi and Mahuang, skim off the foam on the surface, reduce to 6 sheng. Add the remaining herbs and boil until 2 sheng remain. Take 1 sheng warm.
[Text missing]
Song says: Boil 3 liang of Shuqi and 4 liang of Mahuang first; boil 4 liang of Muli and 2 liang of Gancao later for good effect. Pathogenic factors stagnating in the chest must be vented through sweating/vomiting methods.
[Xi's Commentary]: Note: Malaria with more chills is named Mu Malaria. This is due to phlegm-fluids filling the chest, obstructing Heart Yang Qi from circulating outward. Zhao Shi says...
Chaihu Qu Banxia Jia Gualougen Tang (Bupleurum Decoction minus Pinellia plus Trichosanthes Root): Treats malaria patients who experience thirst upon attack; also treats Lao Malaria (chronic/consumptive malaria).
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (8 liang), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 3 liang), Gualougen (Trichosanthis Radix) (4 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) (3 liang), Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) (10 pieces).
The above seven herbs are boiled in 12 sheng of water until 6 sheng remain. Strain the dregs and decoct again until 3 sheng remain. Take 1 sheng warm, three times a day.
Song says: Chaihu Tang removes Banxia because it injures Yin; adding 4 liang of precious Gualougen. Thirst in malaria is caused by pathogenic heat scorching body fluids; Gualougen moistens dryness and generates fluids.
Wang Jinsan states: In typical malaria, chills and fever alternate; the pathogen originates in Shaoyang. This differs slightly from Taiyang disease where the pathogen originates in Shaoyang. The *Neijing* states: Summer injury by great heat... [text missing] ...lingers in... Cover... Adding Tianhuafen (Trichosanthis Radix) to generate fluids and moisten dryness—is this not different from typical Taiyang disease where pathogens at the half-exterior half-interior level require Banxia to harmonize the Stomach and connect Yin and Yang?
Chaihu Guijiang Tang (Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) (Song lyrics see *Changsha Fang Ge Kua*): Treats malaria with abundant chills and slight fever, or only chills without fever. One dose yields miraculous results.
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (0.5 jin), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (3 liang), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (2 liang), Gualougen (Trichosanthis Radix) (4 liang), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) (3 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) ([missing] liang).
The above seven herbs are boiled in 10 sheng of water until 6 sheng remain. Strain the dregs and decoct again until 3 sheng remain. Take 1 sheng warm, three times a day. Initially, mild restlessness may occur; after subsequent doses, sweating occurs...
Wang Jinsan states: In summer, Heat pathogens first injure latent Yin within; in autumn, cool wind is contracted again, further injuring Wei Yang. The malaria presents with abundant chills and slight fever... evidently... harmonizing its... Yangming... Yang.
Yuan Xi notes: Ancients said: Malaria is inseparable from Shaoyang. Shaoyang resides between the exterior and interior. When pathogens enter and contend with Yin, chills occur; when they exit and contend with Yang, fever occurs. Contention causes the disease to manifest; cessation causes it to stop. After stopping, the pathogen still resides in the Shaoyang channel. My opinion: Exterior is Yang, Interior is Yin. Initial chills indicate the pathogen desires to exit; its Qi interferes with Taiyang, stirring Cold-Water Qi to cause symptoms. Subsequent fever occurs because the Stomach is Dry Earth and the Spleen is Damp Earth; Dampness transforms via Dryness, then Wood also follows... deficiency, obtaining... [text incomplete]
