【薛己】眼睛是肝的外窍,肝胆五行属风木,这两条经脉又兼有相火。肝主藏血,如果血液不足,就会在内产生风火,因此眼球会转动。医经说:“曲直动摇”,这是风的征象。适宜使用四物汤来补益血液,用柴胡、山栀来清泻肝热,当阴血在体内充盈荣润时,虚风自然平息。如果是由于肝经血燥而自发的病症,使用六味丸以滋养其本源。如果是因肺金克制肝木导致的,使用泻白散以平抑肺金之邪气。如果是眼眶跳动,这是肝木乘袭脾土的表现,使用抱龙丸。如果在病愈后出现惊悸失眠,或者睡眠中发生抽搐咬牙、眼球转动的症状,这是血虚不能荣养筋脉所致,使用补中益气汤或归脾汤加茯苓、五味子。大抵有余的是邪气实,不足的是真气虚,凡是病气有余的情况,应当认定为正气不足,此证兼属肝脾,多为慢惊风的先兆。
【薛己】嘴唇是脾的外华,口是脾的外窍。另外足阳明胃经的经脉,环绕唇口并交于人中穴,阳明经属于胃,因此脾胃虚弱的人,多有这种症状,不仅仅是在病后才会出现。脾主涎液,脾虚则不能收摄津液,多伴有流口水,有人误认为是痰,而使用祛痰逐饮的药物,这样会导致津液更加枯竭,不能滋养筋脉,于是导致四肢抽搐,病情加重。推究其治法,与慢脾风相同,应当使用大补脾胃的药物,加入升麻、柴胡,千万不要使用青皮、龙胆草之类的药物。同时观察面色:黄色代表脾弱,青色代表肝胜,青黄而无光泽,是木来克土;青赤相间,是木火风热;黑色为寒水反来侮土;白色为气虚亡阳。凡此种种,适宜使用六君子汤合小柴胡汤。如果出现四肢轻微抽搐,或者潮热往来,或者泄泻呕吐,面色萎黄,这都是脾胃受损的表现,适宜用人参、白术、川芎、当归、陈皮、肉豆蔻、神曲、干葛、白芍药、黄连、炙甘草、白茯苓等药物来补益胃气(注:原文“白木”疑为白术,“黄 ”疑为黄芪,此处依常见方义及上下文补全理解,但翻译时保留原意结构)。如果脾胃虚弱者,使用五味异功散;若属虚寒,加入木香、炮姜。如果脾气下陷者,使用补中益气汤以提升阳气。感到口渴者,使用七味白术散以生津液。如果是肝木侮犯脾土者,使用补中益气汤加茯苓、半夏、芍药,以制约肝木、补益脾土。
[Xue] The eyes are the orifices of the Liver. The Liver and Gallbladder belong to Wind-Wood in the Five Elements, and these two meridians also harbor Ministerial Fire (Xiang Huo). The Liver stores Blood; when Blood is insufficient, internal Wind and Fire arise, causing the eyeballs to move. As the classics state: "Bending and straightening, trembling and shaking" is the manifestation of Wind. It is appropriate to use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) to nourish the Blood, and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) to clear the Liver. When Yin-Blood is internally nourished, deficient Wind will naturally subside. If the condition arises from dryness of Blood in the Liver Meridian, Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) should be used to nourish its source. If caused by Lung Metal overcoming Liver Wood, Xiebai San (White Powder to Drain the Lungs) should be used to pacify the pathogenic factor of Metal. If the eye sockets twitch, it indicates Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth, and Baolong Wan (Embracing Dragon Pill) should be used. If after recovery there are palpitations and insomnia, or convulsions, teeth-grinding, and eyeball movement during sleep, this is due to Blood deficiency failing to nourish the sinews and vessels; Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Decoction to Supplement the Middle and Augment the Qi) or Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) plus Fuling (Poria) and Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) should be used. Generally, excess refers to the fullness of pathogenic factors, while deficiency refers to the weakness of true Qi. In cases where pathogenic Qi is excessive, one should recognize it as a deficiency of healthy Qi. This syndrome involves both the Liver and Spleen and is often a precursor to Slow Convulsion (Man Jing).
[Xue] The lips are the floral manifestation of the Spleen, and the mouth is the orifice of the Spleen. Furthermore, the meridian of Yangming encircles the lips and mouth and intersects at the Renzhong point; Yangming belongs to the Stomach. Therefore, individuals with Spleen-Stomach deficiency often present with this syndrome, not only after illness. The Spleen governs saliva; when the Spleen is deficient, it cannot retain fluids, often accompanied by drooling. If mistakenly treated as Phlegm and administered phlegm-resolving drugs, body fluids will become further depleted, failing to nourish the sinews and vessels, leading to limb convulsions and worsening the condition. Its treatment method is identical to that of Slow Spleen Wind (Man Pi Feng); one should use herbs to greatly tonify the Spleen and Stomach, adding Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix). One must absolutely avoid using Qingpi (Tangerine Peel) and Longdancao (Gentianae Radix). Observe the complexion simultaneously: yellow indicates Spleen weakness; green indicates Liver excess; green and yellow without luster indicates Wood overcoming Earth; green mixed with red indicates Wood-Fire Wind-Heat; black indicates Cold-Water counter-attacking and insulting Earth; white indicates Qi deficiency and collapse of Yang. For all these, Liujunzi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) combined with Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is suitable. If there are slight limb convulsions, alternating tidal fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and sallow complexion, these indicate damage to the Spleen and Stomach. It is appropriate to use Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chenpi (Tangerini Pericarpium), Roudoukou (Myristicae Semen), Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), Genge (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Baishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Zhigancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), and BaiFuling (Poria cum Risu) to tonify Stomach Qi. For Spleen-Stomach weakness, Wuyi Yigong San (Five-Agent Extraordinary Power Powder) should be used; for deficiency-cold, add Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) and Paojiang (Prepared Zingiberis Rhizoma). For sinking of Spleen-Qi, Buzhong Yiqi Tang should be used to raise the Yang. For thirst, Qiwei Baizhu San (Seven-Ingredient Atractylodes Powder) should be used to generate body fluids. For Liver Wood insulting Spleen Earth, Buzhong Yiqi Tang plus Fuling (Poria), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), and Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix) should be used to restrain the Liver and tonify the Spleen.
