**Jiang Gui Tang**
**Discussion:** Cold-heat diseases result from yin-yang interaction. Yin qi entering yang causes chills; yang qi sinking into yin causes fever. Symptoms include chills/shivering, headache, body stiffness, frequent yawning, thirst for cold drinks, alternating chills/heat, or periodic attacks. Pulse is naturally wiry. Wiry-rapid indicates more heat; wiry-slow indicates more cold. These result from winter wind-cold hiding in bone marrow. Spring yang emerges. Meeting summer heat combines with pathogen to cause attack. More cold: warm it. More heat: release it. Equal cold-heat: regulate via meridians. More cold: Hengshan Tang. Gua Lou Tang. Equal: Biejia Tang (formulas follow).
