附子 干姜 人参 甘草 白术
腹痛额头黧黑，手足收引，脉来沉下，无气以息者，中寒暴死也，此方主之。
腹痛病因固有数种，但额头黧黑、手足收引、脉来沉下，则中寒之验也。所以无气以息
者，呼出主阳，吸入主阴，三阴受其真寒，则病不能吸。吸亡，则呼不能独存矣，故令人暴

人参 麦门冬 五味子 香薷
人本阴虚，复遇暑途，饮困劳倦，暴仆昏绝者，此方主之。
人本阴虚，则阳独治，复遇暑途，则阳易亢，加之饥困劳倦，则阴益亏。所以暴仆昏绝
者，一则阴虚而孤阳欲脱。一则暑邪乘虚而犯神明之府也。故用人参益元而固脱，香薷辟邪
而却暑。麦冬之清，所以扶其不胜之肺。五味之酸，所以敛其欲脱之真。
人参 白术 茯苓 甘草 竹沥 姜汁
暴死有痰声者，名曰痰厥，此方主之。
痰厥者，虚阳载痰上逆之名，所以令人暴死者，顽痰塞其清阳呼吸之道也。痰既塞之，
气欲通之，故令喉中有声。经曰∶壮者气行则愈，怯者着而成病。故用人参、白术、茯苓、
甘草之温补者以壮气。佐之竹沥、姜汁以行痰。
腹部疼痛，额头肤色发黑，手足拘挛收缩，脉象沉伏于下，气息微弱难以呼吸的，属于中寒导致的暴死证候，此方主治。
腹痛的病因固然有多种，但出现额头发黑、手足拘挛、脉象沉伏，则是中寒的确切征象。之所以会出现气息微弱难以呼吸的情况，是因为呼出主要依赖阳气，吸入主要依赖阴气；当三阴经受到真寒侵袭时，就会导致病邪阻碍吸气功能。如果吸气功能丧失，呼气也就无法单独维持，因此会导致人突然死亡。对于寒证应当用温法治疗，所以使用附子和干姜。而人参、白术、甘草的作用，在于生成和恢复呼吸之气。服药之后，再在关元穴进行艾灸，这是内外兼治的方法。这种证候，有的虽然已经死亡一天一夜，但经过治疗仍能复苏，千万不要因为病情危重而轻视它。
人体原本阴虚，又遭遇暑热旅途，加上饮食困顿和劳累倦怠，突然仆倒昏迷不醒的，此方主治。
人体原本阴虚，则阳气相对偏亢（独治），又遭遇暑热旅途，阳气更容易亢盛，再加上饥饿困顿和劳累，阴液更加亏损。之所以突然仆倒昏迷，一方面是因为阴虚导致孤阳即将脱散，另一方面是暑邪乘虚侵入心神之府。因此用人参来补益元气并固摄防止脱散，用香薷来驱避邪气并消除暑热。麦冬的清润作用，用来扶持虚弱不胜任的肺脏；五味子的酸收作用，用来收敛即将脱散的真气。
突然死亡且喉间有痰鸣声的，称为痰厥，此方主治。
所谓痰厥，是指虚阳携带痰浊上逆的名称，之所以导致人突然死亡，是因为顽痰阻塞了清阳上升和呼吸的通道。痰既已阻塞，气欲通畅，所以喉咙中发出声音。医经说：“身体强壮的人，气机运行通畅就能痊愈；体质虚弱的人，病邪滞留就会形成疾病。”因此用人参、白术、茯苓、甘草这些温补的药物来壮大正气，辅助以竹沥、姜汁来行散痰浊。

Abdominal pain, blackening of the forehead, contraction and drawing-in of the hands and feet, a deep and submerged pulse, and insufficient breath to sustain respiration indicate sudden death due to severe Cold invading the interior. This formula is indicated for such cases.
Although there are numerous causes for abdominal pain, the combination of a blackened forehead, contracted extremities, and a deep, submerged pulse serves as definitive evidence of Cold invasion. The reason for the inability to breathe adequately lies in the physiology that exhalation is governed by Yang and inhalation by Yin. When the Three Yin meridians are afflicted by True Cold, the pathological process impedes inhalation. If inhalation ceases, exhalation cannot exist independently, leading to sudden death. Since Cold is treated with warmth, Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi) and Zingiberis Rhizoma (Ganjiang) are employed. Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) are used to generate and restore the Qi of respiration. After administering the medicine, moxibustion should be applied to Guanyuan (CV4). This represents a method of treating both internally and externally. In such conditions, patients who have been dead for one day and night may recover upon treatment; do not neglect this condition due to its critical nature.

When the human body is inherently deficient in Yin, and one encounters a journey under summer heat, compounded by dietary distress and fatigue, resulting in sudden collapse and unconsciousness, this formula is indicated.
Inherent Yin deficiency leads to unopposed Yang activity. Encountering summer heat further exacerbates Yang hyperactivity. Added to hunger, distress, and fatigue, Yin becomes increasingly depleted. The sudden collapse and unconsciousness occur for two reasons: first, Yin deficiency causes isolated Yang to verge on dispersion; second, Summer-heat pathogenic factors invade the mansion of the Spirit (Shen) exploiting the deficiency. Therefore, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen) is used to benefit primordial Qi and secure against collapse, while Moslae Herba (Xiangru) dispels pathogens and repels summer heat. The cooling property of Ophiopogonis Radix (Maidong) supports the Lung, which is too weak to function properly. The sour astringency of Schisandrae Fructus (Wuweizi) consolidates the True Qi that is about to disperse.

Sudden death accompanied by phlegm-rattling sounds in the throat is termed Phlegm Jue (Phlegm Syncope); this formula is indicated.
Phlegm Jue refers to the condition where deficient Yang carries Phlegm upward in rebellion. It causes sudden death because stubborn Phlegm obstructs the pathways of Clear Yang ascent and respiration. Once the Phlegm is obstructed and the Qi attempts to flow through, sounds are produced in the throat. The Classics state: "Those who are robust recover when Qi flows freely; those who are frail develop disease when pathogens adhere." Therefore, the warming and tonifying properties of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Poria (Fuling), and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) are used to strengthen Qi. They are assisted by Bamboo Sap (Zhuli) and Ginger Juice (Jiangzhi) to move and resolve Phlegm.
