脉象表现为勇猛愤怒，面色发青；骨骼感觉勇猛愤怒，面色发白；血脉感觉勇猛愤怒，面色发红。（出自《酉阳杂俎》）
人在平时没有痛苦疾病，却突然像死人一样身体不动、沉默不语、不知人事、眼睛闭合、不能张口、牙关紧闭不能说话，或者稍微知道一点人事，但厌恶听到人声，只是感到眩晕昏蒙，过了一会儿才苏醒。这是由于出汗过多导致血少，气并聚于血中，阳气独自上浮而不能下行，气机壅塞不通畅，所以身体像死了一样。当气过之后血液回流，阴阳重新通畅，所以过了一会儿才苏醒。这种病名叫“郁冒”，也叫“血厥”。妇女多有此病，适宜用白薇汤或仓公散治疗。（出自《本事方》）
所谓尸厥（Shijue, Corpse-like Coma），是阴阳之气逆乱所致。这是阳脉突然下坠，阴脉突然上升，阴阳分离失位，营卫之气不通，真气厥乱，客邪之气趁机侵入。其症状如同死人，只有微弱的呼吸且不规律，脉搏尚且跳动而形体无知觉。如果听到耳内有如啸叫声，且大腿内侧温暖，就是这种情况。即使没有啸叫声，只要脉搏跳动，就应当按尸厥来治疗。如果寸口脉沉大而滑，沉主实，滑主气，实与气相互搏结，身体温热且有汗出，这是病邪入腑，虽然突然昏厥不知人事，但人气恢复就会自愈。如果嘴唇、面部和身体发青发冷，这是病邪入脏，也是突然昏厥不知人事，属于死证候。如果左手关上脉象阴阳俱虚，即足厥阴肝经和手少阴心经的脉气都虚弱，病人会出现神情恍惚、类似尸厥不知人事、胡乱看见东西等症状。
人的疾病无不源于虚、实、冷、热，各有具体的症状可以对症施治，用药不过补益、泻下、寒凉、温热的区别而已。然而也有不是由虚实冷热引起的疾病，如前面所说的那样。又有各种虫子进入耳朵、喉咙中的鱼刺等异物卡住、蠼螋尿引发的疮疡、人影投射产生的疮疡、眼中进入沙粒之类，这些都不是虚实冷热性质的疾病，治疗方法应当以意念疗法为主。例如：灌服牛乳、炙烤猪肉捂住耳朵上方来治疗各种虫入耳；默念鸬鹚及戴鱼网来治疗鱼刺卡喉；用象牙末和狐狸骨来治疗骨头卡喉；取地上蠼螋爬行过的形状处的土来治疗蠼螋尿引发的疮疡；用胆汁、鸡肝血以及注视水中的豆子来治疗眼中进入沙粒之类；用竹溜牙来治疗竹刺。这些都是以意念治疗的方法。
The pulse manifests as "Yong Nu" (courageous anger), with a green complexion; the bones manifest as "Yong Nu", with a white complexion; the vessels manifest as "Yong Nu", with a red complexion. (From *Youyang Zazu*)
When a person is usually free from painful diseases, yet suddenly appears like a corpse—motionless, silent, unconscious, eyes closed, unable to open the mouth or speak due to locked jaws—or perhaps slightly aware but aversive to sound, experiencing only dizziness and vertigo before regaining consciousness after a while. This is caused by excessive sweating leading to blood deficiency, where Qi merges into the blood, Yang floats upward alone without descending, causing Qi stagnation and obstruction, thus making the body appear lifeless. When the excess Qi subsides and blood returns, Yin and Yang reconnect, hence consciousness returns after a while. This condition is named "Yu Mao" (Depression and Vertigo) or also "Xue Jue" (Blood Syncope). It is common in women and should be treated with Baiwei Tang (White Peony Root Decoction) or Cangong San (Master Cang's Powder). (From *Ben Shi Fang*)
What is called "Shi Jue" (Corpse-like Coma) is due to the reversal of Yin and Yang Qi. Here, Yang pulses suddenly sink downward, and Yin pulses suddenly rise upward. Yin and Yang separate from their proper positions, Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi fail to circulate, True Qi becomes chaotic, and pathogenic factors take advantage. The presentation resembles death, with faint and irregular respiration, yet the pulse still beats while the form lacks awareness. If one hears a whistling sound in the ears and warmth between the thighs, this confirms the diagnosis. Even without the whistling sound, if the pulse beats, it should be treated as Shi Jue. If the Cun Kou (Radial Artery at the wrist) pulse is deep, large, and slippery: deep indicates Excess, slippery indicates Qi; when Excess and Qi contend, the body is warm and sweaty, indicating the pathogen has entered the Fu organs. Although sudden syncope occurs with loss of consciousness, recovery of Zheng Qi leads to spontaneous healing. If the lips, face, and body are cyanotic and cold, the pathogen has entered the Zang organs; this is also sudden syncope with loss of consciousness, representing a fatal prognosis. If the pulse at the Guan position on the left hand shows both Yin and Yang aspects as deficient, indicating deficiency in the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian and Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, the patient may exhibit mental confusion, symptoms resembling Shi Jue with loss of consciousness, and visual hallucinations.
Diseases in humans arise essentially from Deficiency, Excess, Cold, and Heat, each having specific manifestations that can be treated accordingly; medication involves merely tonifying, purging, cooling, or warming. However, there are conditions not caused by Deficiency, Excess, Cold, or Heat, as mentioned previously. These include insects entering the ears or throat, fishbones or other obstructions stuck in the throat, sores caused by earwig urine, sores generated by human shadows, and foreign bodies like dust in the eyes. Such conditions are not of the nature of Deficiency, Excess, Cold, or Heat, and their treatment should rely on Yi Zhi (Mind/Intent Therapy). For example: administering cow's milk or applying roasted pork over the ears to treat insects in the ears; silently reciting the name of an cormorant or wearing a fishnet to treat fishbone obstruction; using ivory powder and fox bone to treat bone obstruction; collecting soil from the ground where an earwig has crawled to treat sores from earwig urine; applying bile, chicken liver blood, or gazing at beans in water to treat foreign bodies in the eyes; using bamboo sap teeth to treat bamboo splinters. These are all methods of Yi Zhi (Mind/Intent Therapy).
