疳病，是指身体干枯消瘦。这通常是由于寒热失调、饮食不节制引起的。或者因为长期的呕吐、腹泻、痢疾、疟疾、发热、出汗、咳嗽、疮疡，导致脾胃受损，津液耗失而形成的。
心疳的症状是：面色发黄，两颊发红，小便赤红且排尿涩痛，口舌生疮，烦躁口渴。治疗适宜用宁心丸。
肝疳的症状是：肌肉消瘦，眼睑红肿，眼睛生翳膜、流泪多，白膜遮蔽瞳孔，大便泻下青色稀便。治疗使用肝疳丸。
脾疳的症状是：面色萎黄、身体瘦弱但腹部胀大，有的甚至吃土、吃米、喝茶。适宜用调脾汤。
肺疳的症状是：潮热、气喘咳嗽，鼻孔溃烂、流鼻涕。适宜先用清肺汤，随后用化积丸。
疳肿的症状是：由于疳病日久导致脾脏衰弱，不能制约水湿，所以头面四肢出现浮肿。肿胀严重的用褐子丸；如果伴有严重喘息，则属于不治之症。
丁奚疳的症状是：腹部胀大、颈部细瘦，哺乳后食物外露（消化不良），翻胃吐蛔虫。适宜用芦荟丸。
赤游丹火这一病症，是由体内积热深重蒸腾，外部又受风热侵袭，邪气搏结于血气之中，导致皮肤赤红肿胀，颜色像火烧一样。有时发作在头部，有时发于肢体，这并不是轻症。如果毒气入腹伤肾，也能致人死亡，应当迅速治疗。使用升麻、黄芩、连翘各一钱，大黄、朴硝各二钱，共同煎煮服用，服四五剂即可自愈。
我的同乡胡道生的孙子，头部患有丹火，请我诊治。我用了上述方剂，服用两剂后症状未退，他又花钱来请我。我写信回复说：此症非轻，不是一两剂药能治愈的，应当重用各味药材，连服五六剂，定然见效。后来按照这个剂量服药，果然痊愈。前一年，我宗族中有一女孩患此症，我嘱咐说这是重症，不可懈怠拖延，但她不听，结果果然死亡。
沙淋的症状是：肾水被热邪凝结，化为沙石，堵塞水道，当沙石排出时疼痛停止。治疗使用五淋散。
血淋的症状是：心经热血散漫。治疗使用五淋散，加入小蓟、滑石、车前子。
寒淋的症状是：膀胱有冷气，与人体正气交争，先出现寒战，然后才排尿。治疗使用六味地黄丸，加入附子、肉桂。
如果伴有心热者，使用清心莲子饮。
如果是肾热者，使用六味地黄丸。
如果是肝热者，使用柴胡栀子饮。
如果是脾热者，使用泻黄散。
如果是脾虚者，使用小异功散。
如果是肺热者，使用泻白散。
如果是肺虚热者，治疗使用小异功散加炒山栀。
Gan disease (Malnutrition syndrome) refers to a condition characterized by dryness and emaciation. This arises from the imbalance of cold and heat, and irregular diet. It may also result from prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, malaria, fever, sweating, coughing, or chronic sores, leading to damage to the Spleen and Stomach, and the depletion of Body Fluids (Jin Ye).
Heart Gan: Symptoms include sallow complexion with red cheeks, dark and scanty urine, sores in the mouth and tongue, irritability, and thirst. Treatment is appropriate with Ningxin Wan (Calming Heart Pill).
Liver Gan: Symptoms include muscle wasting, red and swollen eyelids, formation of corneal opacities, excessive tearing, white membranes obscuring the pupils, and greenish loose stools. Treatment uses Gangan Wan (Liver Malnutrition Pill).
Spleen Gan: Symptoms include sallow and thin appearance with an enlarged abdomen; some patients may exhibit pica, eating soil, rice, or tea. Tiaopi Tang (Spleen-Regulating Decoction) is appropriate.
Lung Gan: Symptoms include tidal fever, wheezing, and coughing, along with ulceration of the nostrils and runny nose. Initially use Qingfei Tang (Lung-Clearing Decoction), followed by Huaji Wan (Accumulation-Dissipating Pill).
Gan Edema: This occurs when Gan disease persists for a long time, causing Spleen deficiency and the inability to control water metabolism, resulting in edema of the head, face, and limbs. For severe swelling, Hezi Wan (Brown Seed Pill) is used. If accompanied by severe panting, it is considered incurable.
Dingxi (A specific type of Gan): Symptoms include an enlarged abdomen with a thin neck, regurgitation of food after feeding, and vomiting of roundworms. Lushui Wan (Aloe Pill) is appropriate.
Chiyou Danhuo (Red Roaming Carbuncle/Fire): This condition arises from severe internal accumulated heat steaming outward, combined with external contraction of wind-heat. The pathogens contend with Blood and Qi, causing the skin to become red, swollen, and hot as if burning. It may manifest on the head or limbs. This is not a mild condition. If the pathogen enters the interior and damages the Kidney, it can be fatal, so prompt treatment is required. Use Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), and Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), each 1 qian (approx. 3-5g); Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and Puxiao (Natrii Sulfas), each 2 qian (approx. 6-10g). Decoct together and take for four to five doses for self-healing.
My fellow townsman Hu Daosheng’s grandson suffered from Danhuo on his head and consulted me. I prescribed the aforementioned formula. After two doses, symptoms did not recede. He returned with payment to invite me again. I replied in a letter: "This condition is not mild; it cannot be cured in one or two doses. You should increase the dosage of each herb and administer for five to six doses; effectiveness will surely appear." Later, he followed these instructions and recovered. In the previous year, a female relative of my clan contracted this illness. I advised that this was a severe condition and urged caution against delay, but she did not listen. Consequently, she died.
Shalin (Sand Strangury): Kidney Water is condensed by Heat into sand and stones, blocking the urinary pathway. Pain ceases when the sand passes. Treatment uses Wulin San (Five Stranguries Powder).
Qilin (Qi Strangury): Symptoms include fullness and distension in the lower abdomen, with difficult, painful, and obstructed urination. Use Xiebai San (Draining White Powder).
Xuelin (Blood Strangury): Caused by scorching Heat in the Heart dispersing into the blood. Treatment uses Wulin San (Five Stranguries Powder) added with Xiaoji (Cirsii Herba), Huashi (Talcum), and Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Semen).
Hanlin (Cold Strangury): Cold Qi in the Bladder contends with Healthy Qi (Zheng Qi), causing chills before urination. Treatment uses Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) added with Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex).
If accompanied by Heart Heat: Use Qingxin Lianzi Yin (Clearing Heart Lotus Seed Decoction).
If Kidney Heat: Use Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia).
If Liver Heat: Use Chaihu Zhizi Yin (Bupleurum and Gardenia Decoction).
If Spleen Heat: Use Xiehuang San (Draining Yellow Powder).
If Spleen Deficiency: Use Xiaoyigong San (Minor Extraordinary Merit Powder).
If Lung Heat: Use Xiebai San (Draining White Powder).
If Lung Deficiency Heat: Treat with Xiaoyigong San (Minor Extraordinary Merit Powder) added with Chao Shanzhi (Stir-fried Gardeniae Fructus).
The above differentiation methods for the seven types of strangury associated with Heart Heat, etc., can be found within the sections differentiating the Spleen, Heart, Lung, Liver, and Kidney.
