Etiology. Dao Han (Night Sweats) refers to sweating during sleep. This is caused by deficiency of Yang Qi. If left untreated for a long time, it leads to emaciation and wasting, insufficiency of Heart Qi, and loss of body fluids. Upon pulse diagnosis, if the pulse of a man in a resting state appears weak, deficient, and fine, these are all pulses associated with Dao Han (Night Sweats). (From Volume III)
Cui Shi's prescription for treating Dao Han (Night Sweats): Sweating occurs immediately upon falling asleep at night and does not cease. The following formula must be used.
Mahuanggen Radix Ephedrae (finely sliced) Xiaomai Frumentum Tritici (each 2 sheng)
Take the above two ingredients. Add 12 sheng of water, boil the Xiaomai Frumentum Tritici until 9 sheng remain. Then add Mahuanggen Radix Ephedrae and continue boiling until 3 sheng remain. Strain the dregs. Divide into three doses. Take regularly at night. It will stop within no more than two courses of treatment.
Another formula:
Ganpi Cortex Glycyrrhizae (1 liang) Jiang Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens (1 liang) Xingren Semen Armeniacae Amarum (3 liang, remove tips and skin, stir-fried) Danggui Radix Angelicae Sinensis (4 liang)
Pound and mix the above four ingredients. Combine with honey to make pills. Take five pills the size of wutong seeds initially, gradually increasing the dose.
Another formula:
Take the ashes from burning a mat used by a deceased person. Leach the ashes with water to obtain juice. Heat the juice and wash the body from head to foot. This will cure the condition.
Another powder to stop sweating. (Selected by Zhu Gui)

One may apply moxibustion seven cones or thirty-five cones daily as preferred; even if daily application is not possible, it is acceptable. The sweating will gradually cease. (All from Volume III)
Yannian's formula for main treatment of Dao Han (Night Sweats): When lying in bed at night, clothes and bedding become completely wet.

Pound the above two ingredients and sift. Take 3 fen administered with milk. Take three times daily. For adults, take one fangcun bi per dose, three times daily. If ineffective, increase the dose.
