疟疾和痢疾这两种病症,世人常患。大多论述多而确切的言论少,开方多而见效的少。不知道疟疾和痢疾这两种病,多在夏秋交替之时。因为夏季月份,专门归属于脾土。子时阳气发散到极点,伏藏的阴气在内。人们只苦于皮肤的发热,却不明白体内其实是凉的。于是纳凉风、饮凉水来对抗它。土本来畏惧寒冷,却用寒邪去投喂它,于是食物胶结在脾而不能消化,痰凝结在脾而不能化解。痰乃是五味产生的涎液,由风火转化而成,才一交凉气疟病就产生了。脉象弦而实是食积,一日发作一次较轻,难治愈;脉象弦而滑是痰湿,三日发作一次较重,易治愈。至于痢疾,多说红色属热,白色属寒。不知道这也是内伤生冷所致,所以暑湿之气随之而来。伤血分多则便血呈红色,伤气分多则便脓呈白色。气血两伤,则红白混杂。经书说:调和血液则大便自然痊愈,血归经脉不妄行;提举风气则后重感自然消除,气下陷故导致后重。这是不可更改的定论。如果投以凉剂,必然导致禁口(无法进食)和滑肠(腹泻不止),趋向于死亡。小儿用药治愈的十分之一,推拿治愈的十分之九。大概疟疾是残存的疟症,痢疾是流利(指排泄物稀薄流动)的病症,根深且病势笃重,不是精通此道的人,不容易治愈。
小儿疟疾有四种。一是疟疾,二三日发作一次,则神志昏昧,原因是脾土痰结,脉象弦而滑,适宜用吐法。推拿方法宜推肺经,推三关,运八卦,分阴阳,掐四横纹,揉天枢,掐内间使穴,猿猴摘果,拿列缺,走搓摩。二是食疟,一日发作一次,腹胀作呕,原因是脾土结食,适宜用下法。推拿方法宜推三关,推脾土,补肾水,运八卦,分阴阳,天门虎口至肘,揉中脘,按弦走搓摩。三是瘅疟,夜间发作,即邪疟。原因是水边玩耍,感受露水风雨寒邪,适宜取汗。推拿方法宜推三关,推肺经,掐手背指节,掐横纹,威灵穴一截。方药独蒜研成饼,贴敷内间使穴,连续灸一壮。四是虚疟,前述症状持续一两个月后,便成为虚疟。原因是气血两虚,以补中益气为主。推拿方法宜推三关,补肾水,虎口至肘,二人上马穴一截,威灵穴一截。止疟推拿秘旨:初起只在前述发汗方基础上,加少商穴可愈。如病程久,法宜推三关,推肺经,分阴阳,运八卦,补脾土,天门虎口至肘。方药用祝由科神妙之法。
Malaria and dysentery are two conditions frequently encountered by the general public. There are many discussions but few accurate statements, and many prescriptions but few effective results. It is unknown that malaria and dysentery often occur during the transition between summer and autumn. The months of summer belong exclusively to the Spleen Earth (Spleen Earth). At Zi hour (11 PM - 1 AM), Yang Qi dissipates to its extreme, with latent Yin residing internally. People suffer from heat on the skin but are unaware of the coldness inside. Thus, they seek cool breezes and drink cold water to counteract it. Earth inherently fears cold; by introducing cold into it, food becomes stuck in the Spleen and cannot be transformed, while phlegm knots in the Spleen and cannot resolve. Phlegm is saliva produced from the five flavors, transformed by Wind and Fire. Once the cool air arrives, malaria disease emerges. A wiry and solid pulse indicates food retention; occurring once a day, it is mild but difficult to cure. A wiry and slippery pulse indicates phlegm-dampness; occurring every three days, it is severe but easier to cure. Regarding dysentery, it is often said that red belongs to Heat and white belongs to Cold. However, this is also due to internal injury from raw and cold foods, so Summer-Heat and Dampness follow. Injury to the Blood level results in redness; injury to the Qi level results in whiteness. When both Qi and Blood are injured, red and white mix. The Classics state: Regulating the blood leads to natural recovery of the stool, as blood returns to the meridians and does not flow recklessly; lifting the Qi eliminates tenesmus, as Qi sinking causes tenesmus. This is an unchangeable definitive conclusion. If administered cooling agents, it will inevitably lead to inability to eat (Jinkou) and loose bowels (Huachang), leading towards death. Among children, one-tenth are cured by medicine, while nine-tenths are cured by Tuina (Pediatric Massage). Malaria is essentially a residual malaria syndrome, and dysentery is a condition characterized by fluid discharge. The root is deep and the condition is serious; without mastery of this field, it is not easy to cure.
There are four types of pediatric malaria. First is Malaria, occurring every two or three days, accompanied by mental confusion, caused by phlegm knotting in the Spleen Earth. With a wiry and slippery pulse, emesis is indicated. The Tuina method should include Pushing Lung Meridian, Pushing San Guan, Rotating Ba Gua, Dividing Yin and Yang, Pinching Si Heng Wen, Rubbing Tian Shu, Pinching Nei Jian Shi, Monkey Plucking Fruit, Grasping Lie Que, and Walking/Crubbing Massage. Second is Food Malaria, occurring once a day, with abdominal distension and vomiting, caused by food retention in the Spleen Earth. Purging is indicated. The Tuina method should include Pushing San Guan, Pushing Pi Tu, Tonifying Kidney Water, Rotating Ba Gua, Dividing Yin and Yang, Tian Men Hu Kou to Elbow, Rubbing Zhong Wan, and Pressing String Walking/Crubbing Massage. Third is Dan Malaria (Cao Malaria), occurring at night, also known as Evil Malaria. Caused by playing near water and contracting dew, wind, rain, and cold, sweating is indicated. The Tuina method should include Pushing San Guan, Pushing Lung Meridian, Pinching Finger Joints on the Back of Hand, Pinching Heng Wen, One Cut of Wei Ling Point. Prescription: Single garlic clove ground into a cake, applied to Nei Jian Shi point, moxibustion performed for one Zhu continuously. Fourth is Deficiency Malaria, where previous symptoms persist for one or two months, becoming deficiency malaria. Caused by dual deficiency of Qi and Blood, treatment focuses on Tonifying Middle and Boosting Qi. The Tuina method should include Pushing San Guan, Tonifying Kidney Water, Hu Kou to Elbow, Two Persons Mounting Shang Ma (One Cut of Wei Ling Point). Secret instructions for stopping malaria via Tuina: In the early stage, only add Shaoshang point to the aforementioned sweating prescription for cure. If chronic, the method should include Pushing San Guan, Pushing Lung Meridian, Dividing Yin and Yang, Rotating Ba Gua, Tonifying Pi Tu, Tian Men Hu Kou to Elbow. Prescription uses Shen Miao methods of Zhuyou Ke (Ritualistic Medicine).
