蒲黄(一两,炒褐色) 清酒十爵沃之温服。
《内经》曰∶大怒则形气绝,而血苑于上,使人薄厥。宜此方主之。
肝藏血而主怒,怒则火起于肝,载血上行,故令血苑于上。苑,乱也。搏,雷风相搏之
搏。血气乱于胸中,相搏而厥逆也。蒲黄能消瘀安血,清酒能畅气和荣,故用之以主是证。
尸厥者,破阴绝阳,形静如死。医者不知针石,宜此二方主之。
尸厥者,五尸之气,暴疰于人,乱人阴阳气血,上有绝阳之络,下有破阴之纽,形气相
离,不相顺接,故令暴蹶如死。所谓一息不运则机缄穷,一毫不续则霄壤判也。昔虢太子病
此,扁鹊以针石熨烙治之而愈。今之医者,多不识针石,苟临是证,将视其死而不救欤?故
用二十四味流气饮和苏合香丸主之,使其气血流动,阳无绝络,阴无破纽,则亦五会之针、
五分之熨、八减之剂尔。流气饮见气门,苏合香丸见风门、五疰门。

蒲黄(一两,炒至褐色),用十爵清酒浇灌后温服。
《内经》说:大怒会导致形体之气断绝,血液郁积于上部,使人发生薄厥。应当用此方主治。
肝藏血并主司怒志,发怒则肝火升起,挟带血液上行,所以导致血液郁积于上部。“苑”通“瘀”,意为紊乱;“搏”指如雷风相搏般的激烈冲突。气血在胸中混乱,相互搏击而导致厥逆。蒲黄能消除瘀血、安定血液,清酒能通畅气机、调和营卫,因此使用它们来主治这种证候。
尸厥证,是阴气被破败、阳气被隔绝,身体静止如同死亡。医生如果不懂得使用针石治疗,应当用这两个方剂主治。
尸厥证,是由于五尸之气突然注入人体,扰乱人的阴阳气血,上有隔绝阳气的络脉,下有破损阴气的枢纽,形体与气分离,不能相互顺接,所以导致突然昏厥如同死亡。所谓一口气不运行则生机穷尽,一丝一毫不断续则天地判然有别。从前虢太子患此病,扁鹊用针石和熨烙法治疗而痊愈。现在的医生,大多不认识针石疗法,如果遇到这种证候,难道看着病人死去而不救治吗?因此使用二十四味流气饮合苏合香丸来主治,使气血流动,阳气不被隔绝,阴气不被破损,这也就相当于古代的会五之针、五分之法、八减之剂了。流气饮见气门篇,苏合香丸见风门篇、五疰门篇。
序言说:痉病,是风邪偏胜的病证,但寒湿常常兼夹其中。然而疏风的药物不可单独使用,单独使用则筋脉更加干燥而痉挛更加坚硬,这是……
麻黄(去节) 人参 黄芩(酒炒) 芍药(酒炒) 川芎(酒洗) 防己 杏仁(去皮尖,炒) 桂枝
……病强者,此方主治。
……是“痉”字的误写。强痉,是指身体坚强劲直,颈项牵引紧急且背部反张。这是因为风寒湿三种邪气客居于太阳经,损伤了大筋,筋脉牵引而拘急,所以导致痉病。然而因风湿所致者,使人有汗且不恶寒,称为柔痉,古人用桂枝加葛根汤主治就是这种情况。因寒邪所致者,使人无汗且恶寒,称为刚痉,古人用葛根汤主治就是这种情况。这个方剂中,有麻黄、杏仁,就可以发表散寒;有桂枝、芍药,就可以解肌驱风;有防风、防己,就可以驱除邪气、战胜湿邪;有人参、甘草,就可以益气柔润筋脉;有川芎、黄芩,就可以调和阴液、清除热邪;还有附子的热性,可以温通经脉,也能去除湿邪。正考详见中风门。
Puhuang (Lygodii Spora, one liang, stir-fried until brownish), steeped in ten jues of clear wine, taken warm.
The *Neijing* states: "Great anger causes the form and qi to sever, and blood stagnates above, causing a person to suffer from Bo Jue (sudden fainting due to blood rushing upward)." This formula should be used as the primary treatment.
The Liver stores blood and governs anger. Anger causes fire to arise in the Liver, carrying blood upward, thus causing blood to stagnate above. "Yuan" (stagnation) implies disorder; "Bo" refers to the intense conflict like thunder and wind colliding. Qi and blood become chaotic in the chest, clashing violently leading to Jue Ni (rebellious qi and cold extremities). Puhuang can eliminate blood stasis and stabilize blood, while clear wine can unblock qi and harmonize Ying and Wei. Therefore, they are used to treat this syndrome.
Shi Jue (Corpse-like Coma) involves the destruction of Yin and the severance of Yang, with the body remaining still as if dead. If physicians do not know how to use acupuncture and moxibustion/stone therapy, these two formulas should be used as the primary treatment.
Shi Jue is caused by the sudden invasion of the "Five Corpse" pathogens into the human body, disrupting Yin-Yang and Qi-Blood. There are severed Yang meridians above and broken Yin hubs below. Form and Qi separate and fail to connect smoothly, resulting in sudden collapse resembling death. It is said that if breath does not circulate for one moment, the mechanism of life ends; if continuity is lost for even a hair's breadth, heaven and earth are separated. In the past, when the Crown Prince of Guo suffered from this illness, Bian Que cured him using acupuncture and heat therapy (iron warming). Modern physicians often lack knowledge of needle and stone therapies. If confronted with this syndrome, would they watch the patient die without rescue? Therefore, Ershisi Wei Liuqi Yin (Twenty-Four-Ingredient Flow-Qi Decoction) combined with Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill) should be used to promote the flow of Qi and Blood, ensuring Yang meridians are not severed and Yin hubs are not broken. This is equivalent to the ancient practices of Huizhi Acupuncture, Fen Zhi Heat Therapy, and Bajian Formula. Liuqi Yin is found in the Wind Gate section; Suhexiang Wan is found in the Wind Door and Wu Zhu sections.
Preface: Jing disease (Spasm) is a pathology where Wind is excessive, but Cold-Dampness often accompanies it. However, wind-dispersing herbs cannot be used alone; doing so will dry out the sinews further and make spasms more rigid. This is...
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, nodes removed) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, wine-fried) Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, wine-fried) Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix) Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, skin and tips removed, stir-fried) Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) ...
...for patients with strong [spasms], this formula is indicated.
...is a typo for "Jing" (Spasm). Qiang Jing (Strong Spasm) refers to stiffness and rigidity, with traction and tightness in the neck and back arching backward. This occurs because Wind-Cold-Dampness pathogenic factors invade the Taiyang channel, damaging the large sinews, causing them to pull and tighten, thus leading to spasm. When caused by Wind-Dampness, it results in sweating without aversion to cold, known as Rou Jing (Soft Spasm); historically, Guizhi Jia Gegen Tang (Cinnamon Twig plus Kudzu Root Decoction) was used for this. When caused by Cold, it results in no sweating and aversion to cold, known as Gang Jing (Hard Spasm); historically, Gegen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) was used for this. This formula contains Mahuang and Xingren, which can release the exterior and disperse cold; Guizhi and Shaoyao, which can resolve the muscle layer and drive out wind; Fangfeng and Fangji, which can expel pathogens and overcome dampness; Renshen and Gancao, which can tonify Qi and soften sinews; Chuanxiong and Huangqin, which can harmonize Yin and remove heat; and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), whose heat can warm the channels and also dispel dampness. For detailed examination, see the Zhong Feng (Wind Stroke) section.
