益其气,损其心者,调其营卫,损其脾者,调其饮食,适其寒温,损其肝者,缓其中,损其
肾者,益其精,此治损之法也。

论述说:虚劳羸瘦,是五脏之气受到损伤的表现。医经中说:第一损,损伤在皮毛,表现为皮肤皱缩、毛发脱落;第二损,损伤在血脉,表现为血脉虚弱稀少,不能滋养五脏六腑;第三损,损伤在肌肉,表现为肌肉消瘦,饮食无法转化为肌肤营养;第四损,损伤在筋,表现为筋脉松弛,肢体无力收持;第五损,损伤在骨,表现为骨痿软无力,不能起床。那么治疗损证的方法是什么呢?损伤肺脏的,要补益其气;损伤心脏的,要调和营卫;损伤脾脏的,要调节饮食,适应寒温变化;损伤肝脏的,要舒缓肝气郁结;损伤肾脏的,要填补肾精。这就是治疗损证的方法。

Discussion states: Xu Lao (Deficiency Consumption) and Lei Shou (Emaciation) refer to the damage of Qi in the five Zang organs. The Classics state: First degree of damage affects the skin and hair, manifesting as wrinkled skin and falling hair; second degree affects blood vessels, manifesting as deficient and scanty blood vessels unable to nourish the five Zang and six Fu organs; third degree affects muscles, manifesting as emaciated muscles where food intake fails to transform into muscle tissue; fourth degree affects sinews, manifesting as lax sinews with inability to control movement; fifth degree affects bones, manifesting as bone weakness and inability to rise from bed. So, what is the method for treating damage? For damage to the Lung, benefit its Qi; for damage to the Heart, harmonize Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive); for damage to the Spleen, regulate diet and adapt to cold and warmth; for damage to the Liver, soothe its interior (stagnation); for damage to the Kidney, replenish its Essence.
