脉象弦的,是风邪所致。脉象濡弱的,是湿邪所致。脉象洪数的,是热邪所致。脉象迟涩的,是寒邪所致。脉象微滑的,是虚证。脉象牢坚的,是实证;若脉结代,则因气滞引起;若脉散乱,则因忧思引起;若脉紧,则因愤怒引起;若脉细,则因悲伤引起。
香港脚(一种以足部肿痛、麻木或疼痛为主要表现的疾病),是由于湿热蕴结于足部,导致气机阻滞而作痛。湿热相互争斗,湿邪偏胜则使人憎恶寒冷,热邪偏胜则使人高热。这些就是它的症状表现。也有兼见头痛的,颇像伤寒病。只是在发病之初,根源在于香港脚,这是与伤寒不同的地方。又不必拘泥于脚部一定肿胀,也有疼痛但不肿胀的,称为“干香港脚”。也有肢体弛缓无力、不能随意运动的,称为“缓风”。也有疼痛且感觉迟钝麻木的,称为“湿痹”。也有发生转筋、肌肉痉挛紧急的,称为“风毒”。这些都需要医生仔细体会并辨别症状。各有不同的治疗方法。大抵香港脚这种病,属于壅滞之疾,喜欢通畅而厌恶闭塞。所以孙真人说:香港脚之病,多由气实而死,从来没有因为服药导致虚弱而死亡的。因此,患有香港脚的人,既不能用大补之法,也不能用大泻之法。这个方剂中,木通、防己、槟榔,属于通利之剂,可以清除热邪;苍术、白术,属于燥湿之剂,可以祛除湿邪。然而川芎能疏散血中的气滞,犀角能疏通气中的血瘀。先疼痛而后肿胀的,是气伤及血,应重用川芎;先肿胀而后疼痛的,是血伤及气,应重用犀角。如果大便干结,加桃仁;小便涩滞,加牛膝;有热象,加黄芩、黄连;间歇性发热,加石膏;有痰,加竹沥。全在灵活变通,切勿拘泥。凡是香港脚攻心,喘息急促不止,呕吐不休的,都是死症,这是因为水气犯火(肾水凌心)的缘故。
另一篇论述专门治疗香港脚,表现为憎寒壮热的,这是由于湿热在足部引起气痛。
【防己饮】
苍术(用盐水炒)、白术、黄柏(用酒炒)、防己、生地黄(用酒炒)、川芎、槟榔、木通、犀角、甘草梢。
以上药物切碎,用水煎煮,空腹服用。
另一篇论述:香港脚初发时,全身疼痛,或者四肢关节肿痛,大小便不通畅。先用此药疏导,然后再服用当归拈痛汤治愈。
【羌活导痰汤】
羌活、独活(各一钱)、防己(炒一钱)、当归(一钱)、大黄(用酒煎一钱五分)、枳实(炒一钱)。
以上药物切碎,用水煎服。
另一篇论述:湿热引起的香港脚致病,出现四肢关节烦痛,肩背沉重,胸胁不利,兼见全身疼痛,湿气下注导致足胫肿痛,脚膝生疮红肿,以及体内外部生疮,脓水不绝,或者瘙痒或者疼痛,都适宜服用当归拈痛汤。
【当归拈痛汤】
羌活、茵陈(各一钱)、防风、猪苓、苦参、白术(去芦头,各五分)、葛根(四分)、黄芩(用酒炒)、泽泻、当归(用酒洗)、知母(去毛)、人参、升麻、苍术(用米泔水浸后炒,各四分)、甘草(一钱)。
以上药物切碎,用水煎煮,空腹服用。
另一篇论述:三阳经香港脚,流注于脚踝上方,局部热赤肿胀,伴有寒热往来如疟疾状,自汗恶风。用人参败毒散,每味药各一钱。(方剂见感冒门),加苍术(米泔水炒)、大黄(酒蒸),各二钱,作为一服。加生姜煎煮,空腹服用。皮肤瘙痒、红色疹子,加蝉蜕。
另一篇论述:风湿流注于经络之间,肢体弛缓无力、不能随意运动。老人脚膝疼痛,不能踩地行走。
【七圣散】
川牛膝(酒浸)、杜仲(姜酒炒)、续断、川萆薢、防风、川独活、甘草(各三两)。
以上药物焙干研为末。每次服用二钱,用酒调服。
另一篇治疗香港脚止痛的奇方。
乳香、没药、天麻、白附子、僵蚕。
以上药物切碎,各等分,研为细末。每次服用五分,空腹,用酒调服。
另一篇治疗湿气攻注,腰脚疼痛,行走困难。
当归(酒洗)、肉桂、元胡索、川萆薢、没药(各三两)、杜仲(酒炒一两五钱)。
以上药物研为细末。每次服用三钱,空腹,用温酒送下。
另一篇治疗香港脚浮肿。
川牛膝(去芦头,酒洗半两)、威灵仙(一钱)、汉防己(一钱)、五加皮(一钱五分)、川独活(一钱五分)、苍术(米泔水浸一钱五分)、当归身(一钱)、川黄柏(盐酒炒一钱)。
以上药物切碎为一剂,用生姜煎煮,熟后,加入一杯酒同服。
有一人,感觉体内热气如火,从脚上进入腹部,这是极度虚损的表现。盖因火起于九泉之下(肾间动气)。此病十人中救不活一个。治疗方法是用四物汤加黄柏、知母等降火药物服用。外用大附子研为末,用唾液调匀贴敷于脚心涌泉穴,以引火下行。
按语:这一条论述还有未尽之处。如果是劳倦过度、阴虚之人有此症状,确实应当按阴虚治疗。如果是身体壮盛之人有此症状,则是湿气郁结化热的征候。我曾冒雨在路上行走,衣服湿了得了此症,后来我制作的加味二妙丸一料,服用后痊愈。后来的几位医生也都验证有效。如果误作阴虚治疗,就会变成痿证了。
另一篇治疗足跟痛。有痰的,有血热的。血热者,用四物汤加黄柏、知母、牛膝。有痰唾者,用五积散加木瓜。
另一篇论述:两足湿痹疼痛,或者像火烧一样的热感,从足背热起,逐渐蔓延至腰胯,或者麻痹痿软。这是湿热为病,都是因为贪恋酒色、乘风受寒所致。
【加味二妙丸】
苍术(米泔水制四两)、黄柏(酒浸晒干二两)、牛膝(一两)、当归尾(酒洗一两)、川萆薢(一两)、防己(一两)、龟板(醋炙一两,或者去掉龟板加熟地黄二两也可以)。
以上药物研为细末,用好酒打糊制成丸药,如梧桐子大小。每次服用七十丸,空腹,用盐和姜汤送下。
另一篇治疗一切寒湿虚冷引起的香港脚,肿痛焦枯,常年卧床,不能动腿行走的。用独活寄生汤,各等分,加入好酒煮熟饮用,有效。(方剂见中湿门)
另一篇论述:男女五劳七伤,肾气衰败,精神耗散,风湿流注,脚膝酸痛,行走艰辛,饮食无味,耳闭眼昏,皮肤枯燥。妇人子宫寒冷不孕,下部秽恶,肠风痔漏,吐血泻血等各种气病,都一并治疗。
【经进地仙丹】西园公多次验证有效。
黄芪(炒一两五钱)、人参(一两)、白茯苓(去皮一两)、白术(去芦头一两)、大附子(炮制去皮四两)、覆盆子(二两)、首乌(二两)、川乌(炮制一两)、白附子(炮制四两)、牛膝(酒浸四两)、肉苁蓉(酒浸四两)、川萆薢(二两)、菟丝子(酒制二两)、乌药(二两)、天南星(炮制二两)、骨碎补(去毛炒三两)、防风(二两)、赤小豆(二两)、木鳖子(去壳二两)、羌活(二两)、川椒(去目炒四两)、地龙(去土三两)、金毛狗脊(去毛二两)、甘草(二两)。
以上药物研为细末,用酒煮面糊制成丸药,如梧桐子大小。每次服用三四十丸,空腹,用温酒送下。
陶隐居将此地仙丹编入道藏经。当时有人自幼年时得风气疾,久治不愈,五十多年,隐居修道配合服用,每天进服三次,各种病顿时痊愈。人们常说:看方三年,无病可治;治病三年,无药可用。唉,真的有这种事吗?我最近苦于脚膝酸痛,服用经进地仙丹,三个月而痊愈。由此可知天下没有不可治的病,医书没有不可用的方,关键在于遇到明医罢了。
【二十四味轻脚丸】香港脚通用。
当归(酒洗二两)、川芎(一两)、川萆薢(净水煮干一两)、木香(七钱)、海桐皮(七钱)、细辛(一两)、牛膝(酒洗一两)、枳壳(一两)、苍术(米泔浸炒七钱)、防风(七钱)、石楠藤(二两)、麻黄(七钱)、杜仲(姜炒一两)、木瓜(七钱)、威灵仙(七钱)、羌活(一两)、薏苡仁(一两)、乳香(五钱)、续断(酒洗七钱)、槟榔(一两)、五加皮(七钱)、独活(七钱)、五灵脂(七钱)、没药(七钱)。
以上药物研为细末,用酒浸雪膏制成丸药,如梧桐子大小。每次服用五十丸,用辣桂、荆芥汤送下,或者用枳壳、木瓜汤送下。
另一篇论述:寒湿香港脚,疼痛且感觉迟钝麻木,两尺脉沉细的,这是痹症。《内经》说:寒气胜者为痛痹,湿气胜者为着痹。现在疼痛且麻木,是寒邪和湿邪并存。两尺脉主双脚,脉来沉表示病在里,迟表示寒。这个方剂中,用桂枝、附子治疗寒邪,苍术治疗湿邪,甘草、茯苓是脾家的药,扶助脾气之不足,制约湿气之有余。但是必须冷服,是想让桂枝、附子的药性下行,而不希望它们横行于上部。
【六物附子汤】
白茯苓(去皮三两)、大附子(炒去心)、桂心、防己(各四钱)、白术(去芦头)、甘草(炙各一钱)。
以上药物切碎为一剂,用水煎煮,空腹服用。
另一篇论述:两膝肿痛,脚胫干枯细小的,称为鹤膝风。既然疼痛之后不加谨慎,感受寒湿,或者踩冰踏霜,导致两足痹痛,像刀剔虎咬一样。膝胫肿大,不能行动。用补中益气汤去掉升麻、柴胡、陈皮,加附子、防风、牛膝、杜仲、羌活、川芎、白芍、熟地黄、川萆薢、防己、生姜、大枣,煎服。
另一篇论述:两腿酸软,或者发红或者发白,足跟患肿,或者疼痛或者瘙痒。疼痛过后好像没有腿一样,或者像皱纹裂开。傍晚到夜间,胀痛厥逆发热。用补中益气汤加入八味丸的药料,补益肝肾。
另一篇论述:两足心发热作痒,用滚水浸泡,泡出水来,肌体消瘦如骨立,口渴吐痰。这是脾肾虚而水泛为痰。用补中益气汤兼服六味丸,时间久了元气恢复而诸症痊愈。
另一篇论述:脚发热,则咽喉作痛,内热口干,痰涎壅盛向上。这是肾经亏损,火不归经。用补中益气汤加麦冬、五味子,以及加减八味丸服用而愈。
另一篇论述:两腿休息时筋缓痿软无力,劳累时作痛如针刺,脉洪数而有力。这是肾肝阴虚,火动的征象。用六味丸而愈。
另一篇论述:八味丸治疗香港脚。足少阴经香港脚入腹,腹胀痛,上气喘急。这是肾经虚寒所致。此症最急,因为肾水乘心火,死亡很快。(八味丸方见补益)
另一篇论述:八味丸,治疗脚弱,加续断、川萆薢。老人加牛膝、鹿茸。治疗鹤膝风,加牛膝、人参、鹿茸。
有一人,两足发热,或者脚跟作痛,用六味丸及四物汤,加麦冬、五味子、玄参治疗而愈。后来因劳役,发热恶寒,口渴烦躁,用当归补血汤而安。
有一人足热,口干吐痰头晕,服用四物汤加黄连、黄柏,饮食减少,痰热更甚。用十全大补汤加麦冬、五味子、山药、山茱萸而愈。

Pulse string-like indicates wind. Pulse soft and weak indicates dampness. Pulse surging and rapid indicates heat. Pulse slow and choppy indicates cold. Pulse faint and slippery indicates deficiency. Pulse firm and hard indicates excess; if knotted, it is due to qi stagnation; if scattered, it is due to excessive worry; if tight, it is due to anger; if thin, it is due to sorrow.
Hongjiao (a disease characterized by swelling, pain, numbness, or spasms of the feet) arises from damp-heat accumulating in the feet, causing qi obstruction and pain. When damp-heat contends, dominance of dampness causes aversion to cold, while dominance of heat causes high fever. These are its symptoms. There may also be accompanying headache, resembling Taiyang disease (diseases caused by pathogenic factors affecting the Taiyang channel). However, at the onset, the etiology stems from Hongjiao, which distinguishes it from Taiyang disease. One should not rely solely on foot swelling for diagnosis; there are cases with pain but no swelling, called Dry Hongjiao; cases with flaccid paralysis and inability to move freely, called Huanfeng (Flaccid Wind); cases with pain and insensitivity, called Shibì (Damp Bi); and cases with muscle spasms and cramping, called Fengdu (Wind Toxin). Physicians must carefully observe and differentiate these syndromes. Each has different treatment methods. Generally, Hongjiao is a disorder of obstruction and congestion; it favors unobstructed flow and dislikes blockage. Therefore, Sun Simiao said: Hongjiao patients often die from excess qi (pathogenic excess), and never die from deficiency caused by medication. Thus, Hongjiao patients should neither receive strong tonification nor strong purgation. In this formula, Mutong (Akebia Stem), Fangji (Stephania Root), and Binglang (Areca Seed) are draining agents that can clear heat; Cangzhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) and Baizhu (White Atractylodes Rhizome) are drying agents that can remove dampness. However, Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) can disperse qi stagnation in the blood, and Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn) can promote blood circulation within the qi. If pain precedes swelling, qi has injured blood; use heavy doses of Chuanxiong. If swelling precedes pain, blood has injured qi; use heavy doses of Xijiao. If stool is dry, add Taoren (Peach Kernel); if urination is difficult, add Niuxi (Achyranthes Root); if there is heat, add Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) and Lianzi (Coptis Rhizome); if there is intermittent fever, add Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum); if there is phlegm, add Zhuli (Bamboo Sap). Flexibility is key; do not be rigid. If Hongjiao attacks the heart, causing incessant panting and vomiting, it is fatal, due to water invading fire (Kidney Water overwhelming Heart Fire).
Another discussion focuses on treating Hongjiao with aversion to cold and high fever, caused by damp-heat in the feet leading to qi pain.

(Formula see Cold Section). Add Cangzhu (rice water stir-fried) and Dahuang (wine-steamed), 2 qian each, as one dose. Add fresh ginger, decoct, and take on an empty stomach. For skin itching and red rashes, add Chantui (Cicada Slough).

One person felt qi like fire rising from feet to abdomen, indicating extreme deficiency. The fire originates from the depths (Kidney). This disease is rarely curable (one in ten survives). Treatment uses Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Huangbai and Zhimu to descend fire. Externally, apply large Fuzi (Aconite Root) powder mixed with saliva to Yongquan (KI1) acupoint on the sole to guide fire downward.
Note: This discussion is incomplete. If labor fatigue, consumption, or yin deficiency patients have this, treat as yin deficiency. If robust individuals have this, it is dampness郁 transforming into heat. I once walked in rain, got wet, and developed this syndrome. Later, my Jiawei Ermiao Wan (Modified Two Marvels Pill) cured me. Subsequent physicians verified its efficacy. Misdiagnosing as yin deficiency would lead to Wei syndrome (flaccidity).
Another treatment for heel pain. With phlegm, or blood heat. For blood heat, use Siwu Tang plus Huangbai, Zhimu, Niuxi. With phlegm sputum, use Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) plus Mugua (Chaenomeles Fruit).

Tao Hongjing included this Dixian Dan in the Daoist Canon. Someone had wind-qiu disease since childhood, untreatable for over 50 years. Living in seclusion, he took three doses daily, and all diseases vanished. People say: Study prescriptions for three years, no disease is incurable; treat diseases for three years, no medicine is useless. Alas, true indeed. I recently suffered knee and foot pain, took Jingjin Dixian Dan, and recovered in three months. Thus, there is no incurable disease in the world, and no useless prescription in medical books; it depends on finding a wise physician.
Ershisiwei Qingjiao Wan (Twenty-Four Ingredient Light Foot Pill) General for Hongjiao.

Grind into fine powder, make pills with wine-soaked snow fat, size of wutong seeds. Take 50 pills each time, with Spicy Cinnamon and Schizonepeta tea, or Bitter Orange and Chaenomeles tea.
Another discussion: Cold-damp Hongjiao with pain and numbness, two chi pulses deep and thin, is Bi syndrome. Nei Jing says: Excess cold causes Tongbi (painful Bi), excess dampness causes Zhuobi (fixed Bi). Now pain and numbness indicate cold and fixed dampness. Two chi pulses govern the feet; deep pulse indicates interior, slow pulse indicates cold. In this formula, Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Fuzi treat cold, Cangzhu treats dampness, Gancao and Fuling are spleen herbs, supporting insufficient spleen qi and controlling excess dampness. Must take cold to ensure Guizhi and Fuzi properties descend rather than ascend.

Use Bushen Yiqi Tang (Supplement Middle Qi Decoction) removing Shengma, Chaihu, Chenpi, adding Fuzi, Fangfeng, Niuxi, Duzhong, Qianghuo, Chuanxiong, Baishao, Shudihuang, Bixie, Fangji, fresh ginger, jujube, decoct and take.
Another discussion: Soreness and weakness in legs, red or white, swollen heels, pain or itch, feeling legless after pain or wrinkled skin, distending pain and cold/fever from dusk to night. Use Bushen Yiqi Tang added with Babai Wan (Eight Flavor Pill) ingredients to tonify liver and kidney.
Another discussion: Heat and itching in soles, soaking in boiling water causes weeping, emaciation, thirst, and phlegm. This is spleen-kidney deficiency with water overflowing into phlegm. Use Bushen Yiqi Tang combined with Liuwei Wan (Six Flavor Pill); long-term use restores yuan qi and cures symptoms.
Another discussion: Hot feet causing sore throat, internal heat, dry mouth, phlegm obstructing upward. This is kidney meridian deficiency with fire not returning to its source. Use Bushen Yiqi Tang plus Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber) and Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry), and Jiabian Babai Wan (Modified Eight Flavor Pill) to cure.
Another discussion: Legs relaxed and flaccid when resting, painful like needle pricks when working, pulse surging, rapid, and forceful. This is liver-kidney yin deficiency with fire moving. Cure with Liuwei Wan.
Another discussion: Babai Wan treats Hongjiao where Foot-Shaoyin meridian Hongjiao enters abdomen, causing abdominal distension/pain, panting. Caused by kidney deficiency-cold. This is urgent because Kidney Water overwhelms Heart Fire, death follows quickly. (Babai Wan formula see Tonification).
Another discussion: Babai Wan treats weak feet, add Xuduan and Bixie. For elderly, add Niuxi and Lurong (Deer Antler). For Crane Knee Wind, add Niuxi, Renshen, Lurong.

Use one bucket of water, boil hot, fumigate painful area in bucket until slight sweat. When warm, wash painful area 1-2 times, pain reduces. Poor people can use branches of peach, willow, elm, locust, mulberry, and catalpa boiled for washing, also effective.
Another discussion: For ordinary people with cold-damp Hongjiao, pain and numbness, internal decoction plus external wash with this soup. Cold diseases benefit from washing.
