答曰。疟者。寒热之疾。皆繇风寒入中也。夫风为阳邪。阳化气而为热。寒为阴邪。阴化气
而为寒。阴阳上下交争。虚实邪正更作。或阴并于阳。则阴实而阳虚。若阳并于阴。则阳
实而阴虚。或先伤于寒而后伤于风。其为候也。则先寒而后热。或先伤于风而后伤于寒。其
为证也。则先热而后寒。休作有时。与伤寒颇异者。故名为疟也。经曰。夏伤于暑。秋必病
疟者。此因暑气之所伤也。若妊娠寒热者。皆繇血气虚损。风邪乘之。致阴阳关隔。寒热
互见也。经云。阳微
恶寒。阴弱发热。若此之类。皆繇虚之所致。此不因暑气之作也。若热极不已。则伤胎。

回答说:疟疾,是寒热交替发作的疾病,都是由风寒之邪侵入体内所致。风属于阳邪,阳气化生则产生热;寒属于阴邪,阴气化生则产生寒。阴阳之气在上下之间相互交争,虚证与实证、邪气与正气交替作祟。有时阴气偏并于阳分,导致阴实而阳虚;有时阳气偏并于阴分,导致阳实而阴虚。或者先受寒邪侵袭而后受风邪侵袭,其表现为先恶寒而后发热;或者先受风邪侵袭而后受寒邪侵袭,其表现为先发热而后恶寒。这种疾病发作有定时,与伤寒病颇为不同,所以称为疟疾。医经说:“夏季感受暑邪,秋季必定患疟疾”,这是因暑气所伤导致的。如果是妊娠期间出现的寒热症状,都是由于气血虚弱受损,风邪乘虚而入,导致阴阳之气阻隔不通,从而出现寒热交替的现象。医经云:“阳气微弱则恶寒,阴气虚弱则发热”,像这类情况,都是由虚损引起的,这并非因暑气所致。如果热势极盛且持续不止,则会损伤胎元。

Answer: Malaria (Nüe, 疟疾) is a disease characterized by alternating chills and fever, caused by the invasion of Wind-Cold pathogens into the interior. Wind is a Yang pathogen; when Yang transforms Qi, it generates Heat. Cold is a Yin pathogen; when Yin transforms Qi, it generates Cold. When Yin and Yang Qi contend with each other above and below, deficiency and excess, as well as pathogenic factors and healthy Qi, alternate in their activity. Sometimes Yin merges into Yang, resulting in an excess of Yin and deficiency of Yang; sometimes Yang merges into Yin, resulting in an excess of Yang and deficiency of Yin. If one is first injured by Cold and subsequently by Wind, the manifestation is chills preceding fever. If one is first injured by Wind and subsequently by Cold, the manifestation is fever preceding chills. This disease occurs at regular intervals and differs significantly from Shanghan (Cold Damage, 伤寒), hence it is named Malaria. The Classics state: "If Summer-Heat is injured in summer, Malaria will inevitably occur in autumn." This refers to injury caused by Summer-Heat Qi. However, chills and fever during pregnancy are all due to deficiency and damage of Blood and Qi, allowing Wind pathogens to take advantage of this weakness, leading to obstruction between Yin and Yang, resulting in alternating chills and fever. The Classics say: "When Yang is weak, there is aversion to cold; when Yin is weak, there is fever." Such cases are all caused by deficiency, not by Summer-Heat. If the Heat becomes extreme and persists without cessation, it will injure the Fetus.
Da'an San (Great Peace Powder): Treats Spleen Cold resembling malaria, with fever occurring at irregular times.
Ingredients: Caodoukou (Cardamomi Fructus Rotundus, 草豆蔻) - seven pods, finely sliced with skin; Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 厚朴) - half liang; Wumei (Mume Fructus, 乌梅) - ten, pits removed; Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 甘草); Renshen (Panacis Ginseng Radix, 人参) - each one fen; Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 大枣) - ten pieces; Feijiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 生姜) - one fen, with skin; Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 陈皮) - seven whole ones, washed and sliced; Liangjiang (Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma, 高良姜) - one fen.
All ingredients are coarsely crushed and mixed evenly, divided into five bundles. First, moisten paper with salt water, wrap the bundles, and roast until fragrant and cooked. For the first dose, use one bundle, add one bowl of water, decoct to one bowl, and take warm.

For the third dose, use three bundles including the dregs, add three bowls of water, decoct to one bowl, divide into two doses, and take warm on an empty stomach or before meals. Pregnant women suffering from malaria with fever may take this formula.
