（附灸法）
中风病的病源，是风气侵袭人体。风是四季的气候之气，分布于八方，主宰生长万物。从风的本方（即当令之方）吹来的风，人很少得死病；不从当令之方吹来的风（即虚邪贼风），人容易得死病。这种病邪潜伏在皮肤之间，向内不能通达，向外不能宣泄。如果病邪侵入运行于五脏的经脉，就会随着脏腑的不同而引发相应的疾病。
心中风：只能仰卧，不能翻身侧卧。如果嘴唇发红、流汗的，可以治疗；若拖延五六天则死亡。
肝中风：只能蹲坐，不能低头。如果两眼及额头相连处颜色微青，嘴唇发青、面色黄的，可以治疗。应紧急灸肝俞穴一百壮。如果面色大青黑，或一面黄一面白的，说明肝脏已受损，不可再治，数日内会死亡。
脾中风：蹲坐且腹部胀满，全身发黄，吐出咸味汁液的，可以治疗。应紧急灸脾俞穴一百壮。如果手脚发青的，不可再治。
肾中风：蹲坐且腰痛，观察胁肋左右两侧，如果没有像饼块一样大的黄色斑块的，可以治疗。应紧急灸肾俞穴一百壮。如果牙齿黄赤，胡须头发直立，面色如土的，不可再治。
肺中风：仰卧且胸部胀满、呼吸短促，胃部闷塞、出汗，观察眼下、鼻翼上下两边，下行至口部，颜色发白的，可以治疗。应紧急灸肺俞穴一百壮。如果颜色变黄，说明肺已受损，化为瘀血，不可再治。病人会出现胡言乱语，手指虚空抓物或指向地面，或者自己抓取衣服寻找衣缝。如此数日后死亡。诊察其脉象虚弱、缓大、浮虚、滑散的，都是中风的表现。（出自第一卷）
深师疗法治疗中风汗出、干呕的桂枝汤方：
桂心、甘草（炙，各三两）、大枣（十二枚，掰开）。
以上三味药切碎，用水五升，煮取二升半，分三次服用。另一版本用生姜五两。忌食生葱、海藻、菘菜。
又一种桂枝汤，治疗中风，身体烦痛，恶寒且自汗出，头项强痛急迫的方子：
桂心（五两）、生姜（八两）、甘草（炙，二两）、葛根（八两）、芍药（三两）、大枣（十二枚，掰开）。
以上六味药切碎，用水七升，煮取二升半，每次服八合，每日三次。服药后温覆取汗。陆伯庸认为此方很好。忌食生葱、海藻、菘菜。（人玉说：这是张仲景的桂枝加葛根汤方，现在说“头强痛急”，应当作“项强痛急”才对。）
又麻黄汤，治疗中风，气逆、胸满闷、呼吸短促的方子：
麻黄（三两，去节）、甘草（炙，二两）、石膏（四两，碎后用绵包裹）、杏仁（五十枚，去皮尖及双仁）、人参（三两）、干姜（五两）、茯苓、防风（各四两）、桂心（三两）、半夏（一升，洗）。
以上十味药，用水九升，煮取三升。饭前服一升，每日三次。效果很好。忌食海藻、生葱、羊肉、饴糖、菘菜。
又茯苓汤，治疗中风邪入腹，心下如针刺感，不能卧倒，或在胁下，转动无常，腹部胀满、呼吸短促，痛苦欲死。此病有的因中虚冷所致，有的素有宿食，饮食不消，有的素体内有风气，如今又受其他邪气侵袭，复归于五脏，所以形成此病。方子如下：
茯苓（二两）、川芎、干姜、芍药、白术、当归、人参（各一两）、枳实（三分，炙）、甘草（炙，一两）。
以上九味药细切，用水九升，煮取三升，每日三次。如果病情严重，可每隔人行走五里的时间服一次。如果胸中有气滞，可加人参二两。服完一剂如果不愈，不超过两剂，神效。忌食海藻、菘菜、桃李、雀肉、大酢（醋）。（并出自第九卷）
《千金翼方》中风论：圣人认为风是百病之长，深以为忧。所以避风要像躲避箭矢一样。因此，抵御风邪可以用汤药和针灸。以前的头风难道可以再发吗？只因为没灸治，病根未除。所以学医的人不能专门依赖针及汤药等疗法。病痊愈后，如果不进行灸治，怎么能拔除病根、堵塞源头呢？因此，虽然药物丰富，但各种疗法中，以火艾（艾灸）为良。刚得风邪时，应当紧急施灸。火一下去，病就安定。这就像煮汤煮熟了，眼睛立刻明亮一样，难道不是关键吗？其灸法顺序是先灸百会穴，次灸风池穴，次灸大椎穴，次灸肩井穴，次灸曲池穴，次灸间使穴，每穴各三壮。次灸足三里五壮。艾炷大小如苍耳子，必须做得坚实。艾草又要陈熟。从此以后，每天分别灸这些穴位，直到达到随年壮的数目为止。凡人稍微觉得心神不快，就必须灸这些穴位各三壮，不可轻视。如果苟且度过早晚，导致死亡，切记啊，切记啊！
又说：学医的人在想要治病时，必须先灸上述诸穴，不论是否有风，都要先灸。这一方法，是医学的大术。如果患病仍不及三月三日者，还有突然死亡的人，以及中风不能说话的人，都必须紧急灸治。所谓卒死，是气入五脏，如同生平的风邪发作。强行忍耐怕痛而不灸，忽然卒死，这是什么病呢？所以都必须灸治，这是关键所在。
又说：得到风邪时，就依照这个次序治疗，不可违背。如果不依此法，就会失去机要，性命必然危险。
又说：凡是初得风邪，四肢不收摄，心神昏乱，眼睛不认识人，言语不清。凡中风多由热起，服药时必须慎戒酒、面、羊肉、生菜、冷食、猪、鱼、鸡、牛、马、蒜。这样可以痊愈。患病后立即服用此竹沥汤方：
竹沥（二升）、生葛汁（一升）、生姜汁（三合）。
以上三味混合，温热后分三次服用。平旦、日晡、夜各服一次。觉得四肢有异样似好转后，服用后方。（土弱说：另一种说法是有荆沥一升。）
又一方：
麻黄（去节）、防风（各一两半）、川芎、防己、附子（炮制）、人参、芍药、黄芩、桂心、甘草（炙，各一两）、（此处原文缺味名，疑为某药一升）、生葛汁（五合）。
以上十六味药切碎，用水七升，煮取一半，然后加入沥汁，煮取二升七合，分三次温服。五天后再服一剂，频繁给予三剂。禁忌同上法。逐渐觉得稍有好转，接着服用后方。忌猪肉、冷水、海藻、菘菜、生葱。
又一方：
竹沥（二升）、防己（一两）、麻黄（三两，去节）、防风、升麻、桂心、川芎、独活、羚羊角（各二两，锉屑）。
以上九味药切碎，用水四升，并同沥汁一起煮，煮取三升，分三次服用。两天进一剂，进三剂。如果手脚冷，加生姜五两、白术二两。如果未除，接着服用后方。忌生葱等如前法。
又一方：
防风、麻黄（去节）、芍药（各一两半）、防己、桂心、黄芩（各一两）、附子（三分，炮制）、甘草（炙）、白术（一两）、石膏（二两，碎）。
以上十七味药，用水八升煮减半，加入沥汁，煮取二升半，分三次服用。间隔如人行十里路的时间再服。有气滞加橘皮等。
又煮散方：
防风、独活、芍药、黄芩、人参、川芎、白术、丹参、薯蓣、茯神、桂心、麦门冬（去心）、秦艽、石斛、防己、橘皮（三两）、生姜（二两，切）、干地黄（六两）、附子（三两，炮制）、远志（三两，去心）。
以上三十三味药捣筛成散。每次煮时用水三升，纳药三两，煮取一升，用绵过滤去渣，一次性服下。每天一服。如果觉得心中烦热，用竹沥代替水煮。（《千金方》中有黄芩、槟榔、蒿本、杜仲、犀角，无出茱萸、薯蓣、甘草、麦门冬、附子。）
又说：凡是患风的人多热，宜服用荆沥方：
荆沥、竹沥、生姜汁（各五合）。
以上三味混合，温热为一服。每天早晨服用煮散，午后应当服用此荆沥。常这样做调养。
防风汤，主治偏风。甄权处方，治安平公方：
防风、白术、川芎、白芷、牛膝、狗脊、萆薢（各一两）、薏苡仁、杏仁（去尖皮及双仁者）、人参、葛根、羌活（各二两）、麻黄（四两，去节）、石膏（碎，绵裹）、桂心（各二两）、生姜（五两，切）。
以上十六味药切碎，用水一斗二升，煮取三升，分三次服用。服一剂觉得好，再服一剂。一剂汤配合一次灸治。服九剂汤，灸九次。灸风池一穴，肩髃一穴，曲池一穴，支沟一穴，五枢一穴，阳陵泉一穴，巨虚下廉一穴。共七穴，即可痊愈。仁寿宫备身患脚疾，奉效灸环跳、阳陵泉、巨虚下廉、阳辅二穴，就能起身行走。二穴，就能跪起。库狄钦患偏风不能挽弓，灸肩髃一穴即愈。前方忌桃李、生葱。（《千金翼方》原方并注明针此穴，这里说灸，大概是王道不取针的缘故。）
又一治一切风虚方，常患头痛欲裂者：
杏仁（九升，去尖皮及双仁者，晒干）。
以上一味药捣成末，用水九升研磨过滤，如做粥的方法。用慢火煎，令其如芝麻浮在表面。用勺取和羹、粥、酒，纳一匙服用。每餐即服，不限多少。服十日后大汗出，二十日后汗止。慎避风冷及猪、鱼、鸡、蒜、大酢。一剂后诸风减轻痊愈。春夏恐怕醋少，少制作服用。秋九月后煎之。此法神妙，可深深保密。（并出自第十六卷，《千金方》相同。）
备急疗法治：如果突然觉得身体恍惚，皮肉跳动，这就是将要中风的征兆。方子：
紧急取独活、桂心各五两，二味药切碎，用酒三升浸泡，在火边烤暖。一服五合，每日三次，加至一升为好。忌生葱。（《千金方》同出第二卷。）
近效薏苡仁汤，治疗诸风方：
薏苡仁（五合）、葳蕤、生姜、茯神（各三两）、生犀角末（二两）、乌梅（七枚）、麦门冬（去心）、竹沥（各三合）、白蜜（一合）。
以上九味药切碎，用水八升慢煮，取二升七合汁，绞去渣，纳入竹沥、白蜜搅匀。细细饮之，不必限制次数，不服更好。以防风候。忌食米醋、油脂、陈败难消等物。以前方治疗暴风手足瘫废，言语謇涩，神情恍惚，游风散走，或出现诸四肢痹症，有所不稳，似绿风候，即合服之。十日服一剂甚佳。（
(Acupuncture and Moxibustion Methods Attached)
The etiology of stroke (Zhong Feng) is the invasion of wind pathogen into the human body. Wind is the climate qi of the four seasons, distributed in the eight directions, governing the nourishment of all things. Wind coming from its own direction (the prevailing season) rarely causes fatal illness in humans; wind not coming from the prevailing direction (false pathogens) often causes fatal illness. The pathogen lodges between the skin and muscles, unable to penetrate inward or excrete outward. If it invades the meridians running through the five Zang organs, it produces diseases corresponding to each organ.
Wind striking the Heart: The patient can only lie on their back and cannot turn sideways. If the lips are red and sweating, it is treatable; if left for five or six days, death ensues.
Wind striking the Liver: The patient can only squat and cannot bow the head. If the color extends from both eyes to the forehead with a slight bluish tint, and the lips are blue and the face yellow, it is treatable. Urgently moxa the Ganshu (BL18) point 100 moxibustion cones. If the face is dark blue-black, or half yellow and half white, the liver is already damaged and untreatable; death occurs within a few days.
Wind striking the Spleen: Squatting with abdominal fullness, whole-body jaundice, and vomiting salty fluid is treatable. Urgently moxa the Pishu (BL20) point 100 moxibustion cones. If the hands and feet are blue, it is untreatable.
Wind striking the Kidney: Squatting with lower back pain. If observing the sides of the hypochondrium, there are no yellow patches as large as a cake, it is treatable. Urgently moxa the Shenshu (BL23) point 100 moxibustion cones. If the teeth are yellow-red, beard and hair stand erect, and the face has an earthy color, it is untreatable.
Wind striking the Lung: Lying on the back with chest fullness and shortness of breath, stomachal stuffiness and sweating. Observing the area below the eyes and on both sides of the nose extending down to the mouth, if the color is white, it is treatable. Urgently moxa the Feishu (BL13) point 100 moxibustion cones. If the color turns yellow, the lung is damaged and transformed into blood stasis, untreatable. The patient will speak deliriously, grasp at empty air or point to the ground, or pick at clothing seams. Death occurs after several days. Diagnosing weak, slow and large, floating and deficient, or slippery and scattered pulses also indicates wind strike. (From Volume I)
Shenshi Formula for Stroke with Sweating and Dry Retching: Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
Guixin (Cinnamon Heart), Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, 3 liang each), Dazao (Jujube, 12 pieces, broken).
Cut the three ingredients. Boil in 5 sheng of water to obtain 2.5 sheng. Divide into three doses. Another version uses 5 liang of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger). Avoid raw scallions, seaweed, and Songcai (Chinese Cabbage).
Another Guizhi Tang for Stroke causing bodily restlessness and pain, aversion to cold with spontaneous sweating, and stiffness/pain in the head and neck:
Guixin (5 liang), Shengjiang (8 liang), Gancao (roasted, 2 liang), Gegen (Kudzu Root, 8 liang), Shaoyao (Peony Root, 3 liang), Dazao (12 pieces, broken).
Cut the six ingredients. Boil in 7 sheng of water to obtain 2.5 sheng. Take 8 ge per dose, three times daily. Cover warmly to induce sweating. Lu Boyong found this effective. Avoid raw scallions, seaweed, and Songcai. (Ren Yu notes: This is Zhang Zhongjing's Guizhi Jia Gegen Tang. "Head stiff and painful" should be read as "Neck stiff and painful".)
Another Mahuang Tang for Stroke causing Qi rebellion, chest fullness, and shortness of breath:
Mahuang (Ephedra Herb, 3 liang, nodes removed), Gancao (roasted, 2 liang), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 4 liang, crushed and wrapped in cotton), Xingren (Apricot Seed, 50 pieces, skin and tips removed), Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 3 liang), Jiangjiang (Dried Ginger, 5 liang), Fuling (Poria, 4 liang), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root, 4 liang), Guixin (3 liang), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber, 1 sheng, washed).
Boil the ten ingredients in 9 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng. Take 1 sheng before meals, three times daily. Very effective. Avoid seaweed, raw scallions, mutton, malt sugar, and Songcai.
Another Fuling Tang for Wind Pathogen entering the abdomen, stabbing pain under the heart, inability to lie down, or wandering pain in the hypochondrium, abdominal fullness, shortness of breath, and extreme distress. This disease may result from deficiency-cold, retained food due to indigestion, or internal wind pathogen combined with other pathogens affecting the five Zang organs.
Fuling (2 liang), Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome), Jiangjiang, Shaoyao, Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Radix), Renshen (1 liang each), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange, roasted, 3 fen), Gancao (roasted, 1 liang).
Finely cut the nine ingredients. Boil in 9 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng. Take three times daily. For severe cases, take one dose every interval equivalent to walking five li. If there is Qi stagnation in the chest, add 2 liang of Renshen. If one dose is ineffective, do not exceed two doses; it is miraculous. Avoid seaweed, Songcai, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, and strong vinegar. (From Volume IX)
Discussion on Stroke from Qianjin Yi Fang: The sages considered wind the chief of all diseases, deeply worrying. Therefore, one must avoid wind as one avoids arrows. To resist wind pathogens, decoctions and acupuncture/moxibustion are used. Why does old head wind recur? Because moxibustion was neglected, and the root was not removed. Thus, students should not rely solely on needles and decoctions. After recovery, without moxibustion, how can the root be pulled out? Although medicines are abundant, among all therapies, fire-moxa is best. At the onset of wind, urgent moxibustion should be applied. Once the fire is applied, the condition stabilizes. This is like boiling soup until cooked, instantly clearing vision—isn't this crucial? The sequence of moxibustion is: first Baihui (GV20), then Fengchi (GB20), then Dazhui (GV14), then Jianjing (GB21), then Quchi (LI11), then Jianshi (PC5), 3 cones each. Then Sanli (ST36), 5 cones. The cone size should be like a cocklebur seed, made firm. The mugwort must be well-aged. Thereafter, moxa these points daily until reaching the number of cones corresponding to the patient's age. Whenever one feels mental discomfort, moxa these points 3 cones each; do not underestimate this. Neglecting morning and evening leads to death. Beware! Beware!
Furthermore: When treating any disease, first moxa the aforementioned points, regardless of whether it is wind or not. This is a major medical technique. If illness persists beyond three months, or in cases of sudden death or stroke with aphasia, urgent moxibustion is required. Sudden death involves Qi entering the five Zang organs, akin to a latent wind attack. Enduring pain to avoid moxibustion leads to sudden death. Thus, moxibustion is essential.
Furthermore: Upon contracting wind, follow this sequence strictly. Deviation loses the key to treatment and endangers life.
Furthermore: Initial wind symptoms include flaccid limbs, confused spirit, blindness to recognition, and slurred speech. Stroke often originates from heat. Medications require avoiding alcohol, wheat products, mutton, raw vegetables, cold foods, pork, fish, chicken, beef, horse meat, garlic. Recovery is possible. Immediately administer Zhu Li Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction):
Zhu Li (Bamboo Sap, 2 sheng), Sheng Ge Zhi (Fresh Kudju Juice, 1 sheng), Shengjiang Zhi (Fresh Ginger Juice, 3 he).
Mix and warm. Divide into three doses: morning, afternoon, and night. If limbs feel better, proceed to the next formula. (Tu Ruowei mentions another version with Jing Li 1 sheng.)

Take with every meal, unlimited quantity. Profuse sweating after ten days, stops after twenty days. Avoid wind/cold, pork, fish, chicken, garlic, strong vinegar. All wind conditions reduce after one dose. In spring/summer, make less due to vinegar scarcity. Brew after September/Autumn. This method is miraculous; keep secret. (From Volume XVI, same as Qianjin Fang.)
