Phlegm and saliva are abundant, breathing is rapid with a sawing sound, and throat pain resembles *Hou'e* (a disease characterized by severe sore throat). However, *Hou'e* presents with swelling inside the throat, whereas Sha (sand/heat toxin) only causes pain without swelling. The presentation resembles *Ji Hou Feng* (acute wind-stroke of the throat), but in *Ji Hou Feng*, the pain is fixed, while in Sha, the pain is not fixed, and it can be distinguished by the presence of "Sha Jin" (visible subcutaneous purple-black veins) (see Bamboo 1, 2, 3).
A patient had abundant phlegm and Qi stagnation, with bizarre pulse patterns. After using medicated powder to induce expectoration via insufflation, the condition became more violent and painful. This was Sha involving the San Jiao (Triple Burner) and Ming Men (Gate of Life). Pricking the blue veins on the arms, fingers, and popliteal fossae released a large amount of dark purple blood, but the illness did not resolve. Using Shi Wu Formula and Si Wu Formula, combined with external insufflation of Zhu Yi Formula, and subsequently taking Zhu Er Formula, the patient recovered after three doses.
Another patient suffered from extreme throat pain and abundant phlegm and saliva. Upon examination, I diagnosed it as Sha. The patient did not believe this and sought treatment from an ENT specialist, drinking hot water in the process, and died by evening. This condition would have been effectively treated with Zhu San Formula.
Extreme distension in the chest and heart area indicates internal attack by Sha toxin, causing the head to tilt backward and the body to arch like a bow (*Jue Gong Fan Zhang*). This signifies destruction of the Zang-Fu organs and is a fatal case. Urgently apply Mao Qing cloth soaked in white liquor to wipe the limbs where spasms and contractures occur, then spray the entire body. After a short while, when the body relaxes, administer medication; recovery might be possible. Use Shi Er Formula or Si Er Formula. Attached verse:
Limbs contracted, arching back like a bow,
Viscera attacked, toxin's force is strong.
Sprinkle wine all over, wipe with cloth,
Seek life in death with Shi-Si formula.
Cold qi stagnating and hiding between muscles erupts in spring; summer-heat stagnating in flesh and blood erupts in autumn. Both are named Wen Sha (epidemic Sha). Autumn Wen Sha is particularly contagious. Symptoms include alternating chills and fever resembling malaria, abdominal pain that may or may not be present, or rapid breathing and abdominal fullness, swelling of the head and face, or progression to dysentery with pus and blood. Mild cases linger, while severe cases are critical. Treatment should primarily focus on Fang Sha (pricking to bleed) and resolving food stagnation. Once the Sha toxin has been drained, then harmonize and clear the interior, eliminate chills and fever, strengthen the Spleen and nourish Blood, and tonify deficiency in the Middle Jiao (see Zhu Four).
One person, in September, experienced aversion to cold and fever, phlegmy cough, irritability, thirst, abnormal tongue coating, and no bleeding upon pricking. He lay heavy in bed. This was caused by mistakenly drinking hot liquids. Administer Yin Yang Water with one qian of Alum. Then use digestive and stasis-resolving medicine with two qian of cooked Rhubarb (*Shu Jun*), taken cold in small amounts for slight improvement. The next day, prick the Sha veins on arms and fingers to release blood, and take blood-invigorating and detoxifying medicine for gradual recovery.
His wife simultaneously experienced chills, fever, irritability, and swelling of the head and face, with a hidden pulse. Fang Sha did not cure her. She drank slightly cold Alum soup, followed by medication to open orifices, detoxify, and direct Qi downward with three qian of Achyranthes Root (*Niu Xi*), recovering after two doses.
Her son also had chills and fever resembling malaria, severe colic in the heart and abdomen, incessant vomiting and diarrhea, with deep and tight pulses throughout. He used Shi One Formula combined with Zhu Four Formula, adding one qian of Rhubarb (*Da Huang*), and took it again the next day, resulting in recovery.
