调下
虚劳病，就是指五劳、六极、七伤。所谓五劳，一是志劳，二是思劳，三是心劳，四是忧劳，五是畏苦。
所谓六极，一是气极，使人内脏虚弱，五脏之气不足，邪气多而正气少，不想说话；二是血极，使人面色无华，眉毛头发脱落，精神恍惚，容易健忘；三是筋极，使人频繁发生转筋（肌肉痉挛），十个手指和指甲都感到痛苦，疲倦得不能久站；四是骨极，使人骨骼酸痛消瘦，牙齿疼痛，手足烦热疼痛，不想活动；五是肌极，使人身体消瘦，皮肤失去润泽，饮食无法转化为肌肉；六是精极，使人气短，体内空虚感明显，五脏之气不足，鬓发毛发脱落，悲伤且易健忘。
所谓七伤，一是阴寒，二是阳痿，三是里急（腹内拘急不舒），四是精液滑泄不止，五是精液量少，阴部潮湿，六是精液清稀，七是小便频数且痛苦。
另外，一是饱食过度则伤脾，脾受伤则喜欢打嗝，想躺卧，面色发黄；二是大怒导致气逆则伤肝，肝受伤则血液不足，视力昏暗；三是强力举重或久坐湿地则伤肾，肾受伤则精少，腰背疼痛，四肢厥冷且下部寒冷；四是形体受寒或饮用冷水则伤肺，肺受伤则气短咳嗽，鼻鸣；五是忧愁思虑则伤心，心受伤则易惊恐，喜怒无常，容易健忘；六是风雨寒邪侵袭则伤形（形体），形体受伤则皮肤枯槁夭折；七是大恐惧而不加节制则伤志，志受伤则神志恍惚，不快乐。
男子平人脉象大者为劳极，脉象虚者也为劳。男子患劳病，其脉浮大，手足烦热，春夏季节病情加重，秋冬季节缓解，阴寒内生，精液自出，伴有酸软感。寸口脉浮而迟，浮即为虚，迟即为劳。虚则卫气不足，浮表示有劳损，气竭脉直上逆者为虚证。脉涩而无阳象，是肾气少。寸关脉涩而无血，气逆且冷，是大虚证。脉浮微缓，皆为虚证。缓而大的脉象主劳病。脉微与濡相搏结，是五劳六极七伤。脉微弱相搏结，是虚损病。
治疗五劳六极七伤，症见脐下膨隆，两胁胀满，腰脊牵引作痛，鼻中干燥，视力昏暗，心中愤懑不乐，胸中气逆，不下饮食，小便赤黄且有淋漓不尽之感，梦中与鬼交合，失精，惊恐，虚乏，宜服用薯蓣散方。

以上药物，捣粗罗为散剂。每次服用四钱，用水一中盏，加入生姜半分，大枣三枚，煎至六分，去渣滓。

Deficiency consumption (Xu Lao) refers to the conditions of Five Labors (Wu Lao), Six Extremes (Liu Ji), and Seven Injuries (Qi Shang). The Five Labors are: first, Labor of Will (Zhi Lao); second, Labor of Thought (Si Lao); third, Labor of Heart (Xin Lao); fourth, Labor of Worry (You Lao); fifth, Labor of Fear/Suffering (Wei Ku).
The Six Extremes are: first, Extreme of Qi (Qi Ji), causing internal deficiency, insufficiency of Qi in the five Zang organs, excess of pathogenic factors, scarcity of righteous Qi, and reluctance to speak; second, Extreme of Blood (Xue Ji), causing lack of luster in complexion, falling out of eyebrows and hair, mental confusion, and propensity to forgetfulness; third, Extreme of Sinews (Jin Ji), causing frequent muscle spasms (Zhuan Jin), pain in all ten fingers and nails, fatigue preventing prolonged standing; fourth, Extreme of Bones (Gu Ji), causing soreness and wasting of bones, painful teeth, vexatious pain in hands and feet, and reluctance to move; fifth, Extreme of Flesh/Muscles (Ji Ji), causing emaciation, lack of moisture and luster in skin, and inability of food intake to generate muscle tissue; sixth, Extreme of Essence (Jing Ji), causing shortness of breath, a sense of internal emptiness, insufficiency of Qi in the five Zang organs, falling out of beard, hair, and body hair, sadness, and propensity to forgetfulness.
The Seven Injuries are: first, Yin Cold; second, Impotence (Yin Wei); third, Internal Urgency/Constraint (Li Ji); fourth, Continuous Spermatorrhea (Jing Lian Lian); fifth, Scanty Essence with Dampness in the Yin region; sixth, Clear Essence; seventh, Painful Frequent Urination (Xiao Bian Ku Shu).
Additionally: First, overeating injures the Spleen; Spleen injury leads to belching, desire to lie down, and yellowish complexion. Second, severe anger causing Qi rebellion injures the Liver; Liver injury leads to blood deficiency and dim vision. Third, strenuous lifting or sitting long on damp ground injures the Kidney; Kidney injury leads to scanty essence, lower back and waist pain, cold limbs, and coldness in the lower body. Fourth, exposure to cold or drinking cold water injures the Lung; Lung injury leads to shortness of breath, coughing, and nasal congestion. Fifth, worry and excessive thinking injure the Heart; Heart injury leads to fright, emotional instability, and forgetfulness. Sixth, wind, rain, and cold injuring the Form (Xing); Form injury leads to withered and premature aging of the skin. Seventh, excessive fear without moderation injuring the Will (Zhi); Will injury leads to mental confusion and unhappiness.
In men, a large pulse indicates extreme labor, and a deficient pulse also indicates labor. For men suffering from labor disease, the pulse is floating and large, hands and feet are vexatious, symptoms worsen in spring and summer, and improve in autumn and winter; internal cold causes spontaneous emission of essence, accompanied by soreness. At the Cun Kou position, a pulse that is floating and slow indicates floating as deficiency and slow as labor. Deficiency implies insufficiency of Defensive Qi (Wei Qi); floating indicates labor; Qi exhaustion with a straight upward-rebellious pulse indicates deficiency. A choppy pulse without Yang signs indicates scanty Kidney Qi. Choppy pulses at the Cun and Guan positions without blood, combined with rebellious Qi and cold, indicate great deficiency. Floating, slightly rapid pulses all indicate deficiency; slow and large pulses indicate labor. Interacting micro and soggy pulses indicate the Five Labors, Six Extremes, and Seven Injuries. Interacting weak and slight pulses indicate deficiency damage disease.
