《内经》曰∶木郁之发，民病胃脘当心而痛，上支两胁痛，膈噎不通，饮食不下。盖木
气被郁，发则太过，
故民病有土败木贼之候也。夫胃为脾之腑，阳先于阴，故脏未病而腑先病也。甚而致于胁下
如刀 之痛，已连及于脏矣，古方名为脾痛者是也。胃之上口名曰贲门，贲门与心相连，故经
所谓胃脘当心而痛。今俗呼为心痛者，未达此义耳。虽曰运气之胜复，未有不由清痰食积郁
于中，七情九气触于内之所致焉。是以清阳不升，浊阴不降，而肝木之邪得以乘机侵侮而为病
矣。更原厥初致病之由，多因纵恣口腹，喜好辛酸，酷饮热酒煎爆复食生冷，朝餐暮损，日积月深，
白郁成积，自积成痰。痰火煎熬，血液妄行，痰血相杂，妨碍升降，故胃脘疼痛。吞酸嗳气，
嘈杂恶心，膈噎反胃之渐者也。俗医不究其源，例以辛香燥热之剂治之，以火济火，遂成危
遽，良可痛哉！
《经验方》：治疗脾脏元气虚弱引发的口渴，疼痛剧烈难以忍受。用药材吴茱萸一两、桃仁一两（与吴茱萸一同炒制，待吴茱萸炒至焦黑后去除吴茱萸），取桃仁去皮和尖部，研磨成细粉；葱白三十根煨热，用酒浸泡后分三次温服。
《千金方》：治疗心脾疼痛。用药材高良姜，切碎，轻微炒制后捣成粉末，用米汤调服一钱，效果显著。
《圣惠方》：治疗因食用过多冰水，或饮用冷浆积存在胃中，从而导致脾脏疼痛的情况。用药材胡椒二十五粒，用浆水浸泡一夜，取出后用盐汤送服，疾病即可痊愈，永不复发。
腹部胀满、脾脏疼痛如何抵挡？除了花椒、生姜之外还有丁香。将这三味药等量研磨成末，调入白盐和温水服用。
用水磨制的乌药治疗脾脏疼痛，每次服用需浓煮一盏。加入一片陈皮和一叶紫苏叶，再次煎煮后温服，有神奇功效。
心脏与脾脏疼痛有妙方：将高良姜切碎，与槟榔等量。将这两味药一同炒制后研磨成末，用米汤调和服用也疗效良好。
《内经》说：木气郁结发作时，百姓会出现胃脘部当心而痛的症状，疼痛向上牵引至两胁，出现膈塞噎阻不通，饮食无法下咽。这是因为木气被郁结，发作时过于亢盛，所以百姓表现出土败木贼（脾胃受损，肝木乘侮）的征候。胃是脾的腑，阳气先于阴气受病，所以脏腑未病而腑先发病。严重时导致胁下如刀割般的疼痛，这就已经连及到脏了，古方称之为脾痛的情况就是这样的。胃的上口称为贲门，贲门与心脏相连，所以经文所说的“胃脘当心而痛”。如今民间俗称的心痛，是不通晓这一含义罢了。虽然说是运气胜复所致，但没有不是由于清痰、食积郁结在中焦，加上七情、九气触动于内所导致的。因此清阳不升，浊阴不降，肝木之邪得以趁机侵侮而致病。再推究最初致病的缘由，多因为放纵口腹之欲，喜好辛酸食物，酷饮热酒，又吃煎炸爆炒及生冷食物，早晚进食损伤身体，日积月累，白色郁结形成积滞，从积滞变成痰饮。痰火煎熬，血液妄行，痰血混杂，妨碍气机升降，所以导致胃脘疼痛。这是吞酸、嗳气、嘈杂恶心、膈塞噎阻、反胃等症状逐渐形成的过程。庸医不探究病因根源，一律使用辛香燥热的药物治疗，以火助火，于是造成危急局面，实在令人痛心！
*Jingyan Fang (Empirical Formulas)*: Treats thirst and unbearable pain caused by weak Spleen Yuan Qi (Primary Qi). Use one liang of Cornus Officinalis Fructus (Shanzhuyu) and one liang of Peach Seed (Taoren), stir-fried together until the Cornus becomes scorched black, then remove the Cornus. Take the Peach Seeds, remove the skin and tips, grind into fine powder. Simmer thirty stalks of Scallion White (Congbai) until hot, soak in wine, and take warm in three divided doses.
*Qianjin Fang (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold)*: Treats Heart-Spleen pain. Use Galangal Rhizome (Gaoliangjiang), cut into pieces, lightly stir-fried and pounded into powder. Mix with rice water to take one qian; effective.
*Shenghui Fang (Sage's Grace Formulas)*: Treats Spleen pain caused by excessive consumption of ice water or cold fluids accumulating in the Stomach. Use twenty-five grains of Pepper (Hujiao), soaked in grain water (Jiangshui) overnight. Remove and administer with salt water; the disease will be cured and never recur.
Abdominal distension and Spleen pain are hard to withstand; besides Zanthoxylum (Huajiao) and Ginger (Shengjiang), there is also Clove (Dingxiang). Grind these three ingredients in equal parts into powder, mix with white salt and warm water to take.
Water-ground Lindera Root (Wuyao) treats Spleen pain; each dose must be brewed strong as a full cup. Add one slice of Tangerine Peel (Chenpi) and one Perilla Leaf (Ziyey), decoct again and take warm; it works miraculously.
There is an excellent formula for Heart and Spleen pain: Cut Galangal Rhizome (Gaoliangjiang) finely and use equal amounts of Areca Nut (Binglang). Stir-fry both together, grind into powder, and take mixed with rice water; also effective.
(Colloquially referred to as Heart Pain; see the section on Heart Pain.)
*Neijing (The Inner Canon)* states: When Wood Qi is depressed and erupts, people suffer from pain in the epigastrium centered at the heart region, radiating upward to both hypochondria, accompanied by dysphagia and inability to swallow food. This is because the Wood Qi, once depressed, erupts excessively, leading to symptoms of Earth deficiency and Wood encroachment. The Stomach is the Fu organ of the Spleen; Yang diseases manifest before Yin, so the Fu organ suffers before the Zang organ. In severe cases, this leads to knife-like pain under the hypochondria, indicating involvement of the Zang organs. Ancient formulas refer to this as Spleen Pain. The upper opening of the Stomach is called the Cardia (Benmen), which connects to the Heart; hence the classic description of "pain in the epigastrium centered at the heart." What is colloquially called Heart Pain today stems from a misunderstanding of this concept. Although attributed to climatic excesses and reversals, such conditions invariably arise from the accumulation of clear phlegm and food stagnation in the middle jiao, triggered by emotional disturbances and qi disorders internally. Consequently, clear Yang fails to ascend, turbid Yin fails to descend, allowing Liver Wood pathogenic factors to invade and cause disease. Tracing back to the initial causes, these often result from indulging in diet, favoring sour and pungent flavors, drinking hot wine excessively, consuming fried, roasted, and raw-cold foods, causing damage day after day. Over time, white stagnation forms masses, which transform into phlegm. Phlegm-fire cauterizes, causing blood to move recklessly; phlegm and blood mix, obstructing the ascent and descent of qi, thus causing epigastric pain. These are precursors to acid regurgitation, belching, stomach rumbling with nausea, dysphagia, and vomiting. Quack doctors, failing to investigate the root cause, uniformly treat with acrid, aromatic, dry, and hot agents, adding fire to fire, thereby creating critical situations. This is truly lamentable!
