《病源》心腹胀者，脏虚而邪气客之，乘于心脾故也。足太阴，脾之经也，脾虚则胀；
足少阴，肾之经也，其脉起于足小指之下，循行上络膀胱，其直者从肾上入肺，其支者从肺
出，络于心，脏虚邪气客于二经，与正气相搏，积聚在内，气并于脾，脾虚则胀，故令心腹
烦满，气急而胀也。诊其脉，迟而滑者，胀满也。其汤、熨、针、石，别有正方补养宣导，
今附于后。《养生方·导引法》云，伸右胫，屈左膝内压之，五息，引脾，去心腹寒热，胸
臆邪胀。依经为之，引脾中热气出，去心腹中寒热，胸臆中邪气胀满，久行之，无有寒热时
节之所中伤，名为真人之方。（出第十六卷中）

《诸病源候论》指出，心腹胀满的病机，是因为脏腑虚弱，邪气乘虚侵入，进而影响心和脾。足太阴经是脾的经脉，脾脏虚弱就会导致胀满；足少阴经是肾的经脉，其经脉起于足小趾之下，向上循行联络膀胱，直行部分从肾脏上行进入肺部，分支从肺出，联络心脏。当脏腑虚弱，邪气客居于这两条经脉，与正气相互搏击，积聚在体内，气机汇聚于脾，因脾虚而产生胀满，所以导致心胸腹部烦闷胀满，气息急促而胀满。诊察其脉象，若脉迟而滑，即为胀满之证。关于汤药、熨法、针刺、砭石等治疗，另有专门的补养和导引方剂，现附在后面。《养生方·导引法》说：伸直右腿，弯曲左膝向内压迫，呼吸五次，以引导脾气，可去除心腹部的寒热邪气及胸膈的邪气胀满。按照经络理论进行练习，可引出脾中的热气，去除心腹部的寒热及胸膈的邪气胀满，长期坚持，就不会被寒热邪气所伤，这被称为真人的方术。（出自第十六卷）

According to the *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases), the pathogenesis of heart and abdominal distension and fullness lies in the deficiency of the zang-fu organs, allowing pathogenic factors to invade. These pathogens affect the Heart and Spleen. The Foot-Taiyin channel is the meridian of the Spleen; when the Spleen is deficient, distension occurs. The Foot-Shaoyin channel is the meridian of the Kidney. Its vessel originates below the little toe, ascends to connect with the Bladder. The straight branch enters the Lung from the Kidney, and its branch emerges from the Lung to connect with the Heart. When the zang-fu are deficient and pathogenic factors lodge in these two meridians, they contend with the healthy Qi, accumulating internally. The Qi converges on the Spleen; due to Spleen deficiency, distension arises, causing vexation, fullness, rapid breathing, and abdominal swelling. Upon pulse diagnosis, a slow and slippery pulse indicates distension and fullness. Regarding decoctions, moxibustion/ironing therapy, acupuncture, and bian stone therapy, there are separate specific formulas for nourishment and guidance, which are appended below. The *Yangsheng Fang · Daoyin Fa* (Preservation Methods · Guiding and Pulling Methods) states: Extend the right leg, bend the left knee and press inward, for five breaths, to guide the Spleen Qi, thereby dispelling cold-heat pathogens from the heart and abdomen and evil distension from the chest and diaphragm. Practicing according to the meridians draws out the hot Qi from the Spleen, removing cold-heat from the heart and abdomen and evil distension from the chest and diaphragm. Long-term practice prevents injury from cold-heat pathogens at any season, known as the formula of the True Person. (From Volume 16)
