【罗天益】阳黄表现为大小便赤红涩痛，身体发热，这是脾土与心火相互搏结所致，属于阳病。治疗法则应当先通利小便，随后攻下大便。
凡是治疗黄疸病伴有腹胀的，应当用茵陈蒿汤送服五苓散。如果想要侧重利小便，就去掉大黄；如果想要侧重通大便，就加入大黄之类的药物。
有阳证可以服用（指面红、想喝水的情况）。（茵陈汤、五苓散的方剂都在《伤寒论》中记载。）
【汤】身体疼痛，肩背僵硬，大小便涩滞，皮肤、面目、牙齿和指甲都发黄，小便颜色像屋尘一样浑浊，小便通利的容易治疗，小便涩滞的难治。适宜服用五苓散加茵陈，煎汤调服。又适宜服用导赤散加茵陈煎服；如果身体发热，适宜服用小柴胡汤。病情严重的，服用承气汤。
【田】小儿身体蒸蒸发热，胸膈烦闷胀满，皮肤像青橘皮那样发黄，眼白部分也是这样，这是湿热所致，适宜用加减泻黄散为主治疗。
此药能清退脾土之热，恢复肾水，降泄心火。
黄连、茵陈（各五分），黄柏、黄芩（各四分），栀子、茯苓、泽泻（各三分）。

【罗天益】阴黄则大小便自常不调（此处原文“清便自调”通常指二便尚正常或无明显热象，但结合上下文及后世注家，多指小便清长或大便溏薄，此处依字面译为大小便相对正常/无异常变化），面目及身体发黄，四肢寒冷，这是脾虚不能制约肾水所致，应当用益黄散送服使君子丸。（益黄散的方剂在治疗方法章节，使君子丸的方剂在疳积章节。）
面色淡黄白色的，是胃气不和，可用平胃散、调中丸。口渴的用人参白术散。（平胃散的方剂在泄泻章节，调中丸的方剂在腹痛章节，人参白术散的方剂在消渴章节。）月内生黄（见胎惊条）。

[Lo Tianyi] Yang jaundice is characterized by red and scanty urination and defecation, along with fever. This results from the struggle between Spleen Earth and Heart Fire, constituting a Yang disease. The treatment principle should be to first promote diuresis (promote urination), followed by purgation (downward draining).
For treating jaundice accompanied by abdominal distension, Yinchen Hao Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Rhubarb Decoction) should be used to administer Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria). If the intention is to promote diuresis, remove Dahuang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome); if the intention is to promote defecation, add herbs such as Dahuang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome).
Yang syndrome patients may take this (referring to those with red face and thirst for water). (The formulas for Yinchen Tang and Wuling San are both recorded in Shanghan Lun.)
[Tang] Body pain, stiffness of the shoulders and back, scanty urination and difficult defecation, yellowing of the skin, face, eyes, teeth, and nails, urine turbid like house dust. If urination is free, it is easy to treat; if scanty and difficult, it is hard to treat. It is suitable to take Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) added with Yinchen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba), decocted and taken as a soup. It is also suitable to take Daochi San (Guide Out Redness Powder) added with Yinchen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba); if there is fever, Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is suitable. For severe cases, Chengqi Tang (Order the Qi Decoction) is taken.
[Tian] Children present with steaming fever, irritability and fullness in the chest and diaphragm, skin yellow like green orange peel, and sclera similarly yellow. This is caused by damp-heat. It is suitable to use Jiajian Xiehuang San (Modified Draining Yellow Powder) as the main treatment.
This medicine can clear heat from Spleen Earth, restore Kidney Water, and descend Heart Fire.
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Yinchen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba) (each 5 fen); Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) (each 4 fen); Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Fuling (Poria), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) (each 3 fen).
Crush the above ingredients, combine into one dose, decoct with one large cup of water until reduced to six-tenths, strain, and take slightly warm before meals.
[Lo Tianyi] Yin jaundice presents with relatively normal urination and defecation, yellowing of the face, eyes, and body, and cold limbs. This is due to Spleen deficiency failing to control Kidney Water. Yihuang San (Yellow-Enhancing Powder) should be used to administer Shijunzi Wan (Quisqualis Pill). (The formula for Yihuang San is found in the Treatment Methods section; the formula for Shijunzi Wan is found in the Gan accumulation section.)
Pale yellow or white complexion indicates Stomach disharmony; Pingwei San (Stomach-Calming Powder) or Tiaozhong Wan (Middle-Regulating Pill) may be used. For thirst, Renshen Baizhu San (Ginseng and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is indicated. (The formula for Pingwei San is in the Diarrhea section; Tiaozhong Wan is in the Abdominal Pain section; Renshen Baizhu San is in the Xiao Ke section.) Neonatal jaundice occurring within the first month (see Congenital Convulsion entry).
[Ming Yi Zhi Zhang] Drinking water without thirst, yellow complexion: Moxibustion on Yanggang acupoint (one moxa cone).
[Qian Yi] Similarities of Jaundice: When the skin and eyes are yellow, it is jaundice. Symptoms include body pain, shoulder and back stiffness, scanty urination and difficult defecation, general yellowing of the body, yellowing of the face, eyes, fingers, and nails, urine turbid like house dust staining clothes. Thirst indicates difficulty in treatment; this is Huangdan (Jaundice). This condition often occurs after serious illnesses. Another type, not following illness but presenting with slight yellowing, is Stomach Heat. Adults are similar. Those with yellow face, abdominal distension, geophagia (eating earth), and thirst have Pi Gan (Spleen Accumulation). Those born with yellowing have Taihuang (Fetal Jaundice). Books state that all types of Dan (jaundice) are heat syndromes, specifically those with deep yellow color. Pale yellow mixed with white indicates weak and disharmonious Stomach Qi.
