《病源论》云∶狂病者，由风邪入并于阳所为也，风邪入人血脉使人阴阳二气虚实不调，
若一实一虚，则令血气相并。并于阳则为狂发，则欲走。或自高贤，称神圣是也。
《千金方》云∶狂发少卧，不饥，自高贤，自辨知，自贵，大善骂詈，目夜不休。

《病源论》云∶虚劳而生热者，是阴气不足，阳气有余，故内外生于热，非邪气从外来
乘之

以芫（音元）花一升，水三升，煮取升半，以布渍汤中，拓胸中上，燥复易。
《诸病源候论》说：狂病，是由于风邪侵入并合并于阳分所致。风邪进入人的血脉，导致人体阴阳二气虚实不调，如果一实一虚，就会使血气相互搏结。血气并聚于阳分就会引发狂病发作，患者会出现奔跑的行为。或者自认为地位高贵贤能，自称神圣等。

The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases) states: Mania is caused by wind pathogen invading and merging with the Yang aspect. When wind pathogen enters the blood vessels, it causes an imbalance in the deficiency and excess of Yin and Qi. If one is excess and the other deficiency, Blood and Qi will contend with each other.
