Food jaundice (Shi Huang) manifests as vomiting and regurgitation upon smelling food, abdominal distension and fullness, body pain, rapid and coarse breathing, inability to ingest food and drink, occasional spontaneous sweating, intestinal dryness and impaction. Its symptoms resemble Heart jaundice (Xin Huang), and the patient may dream of spirits and ghosts. Treatment involves cauterizing Zhangmen (LR13) acupoint x2, Guanyuan (CV4) acupoint, Pishu (BL20) acupoint x2, Shangwan (CV13) acupoint, and Zhongwan (CV12) acupoint.

The above ingredients are crushed, sifted, and made into a powder. Divide into five doses. For each dose, decoct in one large cup of water until reduced to two-fifths of the volume, strain, and take warm. Administer again after walking approximately five to seven li, stopping when bowel movement is achieved.

Fire jaundice (Huo Huang) presents with skin throughout the body resembling a fire burn color, with red spots under both armpits, shaped like millet grains or wheat bran. If there are more purple spots and fewer black spots, it is treatable; if there are more black spots and fewer purple spots, it is difficult to treat. Treatment involves cauterizing Baihui (GV20) acupoint, Tianchuang (SI16) acupoint, and both sides of the spinal column.
