在桂枝汤的方剂基础上,加入厚朴二两、杏仁五十个(需去皮和尖端),其余按照之前的煎服方法执行。
凡是服用桂枝汤后出现呕吐症状的,其后必然会出现吐脓血的情况。
体内有热的人,服用桂枝汤会导致呕吐,例如长期饮酒之人即是此类。这类人既已耗伤津液,又受到热邪的搏击,其后必然会出现吐脓血的症状。
吐脓血这一病症,被称为肺痿。《金匮要略》中说:热邪位于上焦就会形成肺痿。这通常是因为发汗过度或频繁呕吐,导致津液严重亏损而引发的。
太阳病,经过发汗治疗后,汗出淋漓不止,患者感到怕风,小便困难,四肢轻微拘急,难以屈伸,应当用桂枝加附子汤主治。
太阳病,因为发汗治疗,导致汗漏不止且怕风,这是因为阳气不足。由于发汗,阳气更加虚弱,导致皮肤腠理不固。《内经》说:膀胱是州都之官,负责储藏津液,通过气化作用使津液排出。小便困难,是因为出汗过多,亡失津液,加上阳气虚弱,无法进行气化施化。四肢是诸阳之本,四肢轻微拘急、难以屈伸,是因为亡阳并脱失津液所致。《针经》说:津液脱失时,骨骼关节会屈伸不利。给予桂枝加附子汤,以温通经脉、恢复阳气。
在桂枝汤方内,加入附子一枚(炮制后去皮,破成八片),其余按照之前的方法执行。
太阳病,经过攻下法治疗后,出现脉促、胸满的症状,应当用桂枝去芍药汤主治。如果伴有轻微怕冷的症状,则使用去芍药并加入附子的方剂(即桂枝去芍药加附子汤)主治。
脉搏跳动快速,有时停顿一下,随后又继续跳动的,称为促脉。促脉通常代表阳盛,这种情况下并不一定是因为攻下后才出现的促脉。这里的促脉是在攻下之后出现的,不能简单归结为阳盛。太阳病经过攻下后,如果脉促而没有结胸症状,这是病情即将解除的表现;但这里攻下后脉促且伴有胸满,就不能说是欲解。这是由于攻下后阳气虚弱,表邪逐渐内陷并客居于胸中。给予桂枝汤,以疏散客邪,通行阳气。芍药具有益阴的作用,对于阳气虚弱者并不适宜,所以去掉它。既然阳气已经虚弱,如果再出现轻微的怕冷症状,就必须用温热的药剂来发散寒邪,所以要加入附子。
In the prescription of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction), add Houpo (Magnolia Bark) two liang, and Xingren (Apricot Seed) fifty pieces, with the skin and tips removed. The remaining preparation and administration methods follow those previously described.
For those who vomit after taking Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction), pus and blood will inevitably be vomited subsequently.
Individuals with internal heat, such as habitual drinkers, will vomit upon taking Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). Since their body fluids have already been depleted and are further constrained by heat pathogens, pus and blood will inevitably be vomited later.
Vomiting pus and blood is termed Fei Wei (Lung Withering). As stated in *Jin Gui Yao Lue* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet): Heat located in the upper jiao (upper burner) leads to Lung Withering. This occurs due to excessive sweating or frequent vomiting, resulting in severe depletion of body fluids.
In Taiyang disease (Disease of the Taiyang/Bladder channel), after treatment with diaphoresis (sweating method), sweating continues incessantly. The patient experiences aversion to wind, difficulty in urination, slight stiffness of the four limbs, and difficulty in flexion and extension. This condition should be treated with Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang (Guizhi Decoction with Aconite).
In Taiyang disease, due to diaphoresis, sweating continues incessantly accompanied by aversion to wind. This indicates a deficiency of Yang Qi. The act of sweating further depletes Yang Qi, causing the skin and pores to become insecure. As stated in *Nei Jing* (Inner Canon): The Bladder is the official of the capital, storing body fluids; they are excreted through Qi transformation. Difficulty in urination arises because sweating has depleted body fluids, and weak Yang Qi cannot perform Qi transformation. The four limbs are the root of all Yang meridians. Slight stiffness and difficulty in flexion and extension of the limbs indicate the loss of Yang Qi and depletion of fluids. As stated in *Zhen Jing* (Needle Classic): When fluids are depleted, bone joints become difficult to flex and extend. Administer Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang (Guizhi Decoction with Aconite) to warm the meridians and restore Yang Qi.
To the Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) formula, add one Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), which is processed, peeled, and broken into eight pieces. The remaining methods follow those previously described.
In this formula, remove Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and add Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) four liang. Follow the previous methods.
After purgation (downward draining method) for Taiyang disease, if the pulse is rapid with intermittent stops (Cu Mai, Hasty Pulse) and there is chest fullness, treat with Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Tang (Guizhi Decoction without Paeonia). If there is slight aversion to cold, use the formula that removes Shaoyao (Paeonia) and adds Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), known as Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Jia Fuzi Tang (Guizhi Decoction without Paeonia with Aconite).
When the pulse beats rapidly but stops occasionally before resuming, it is named Cu Mai (Hasty Pulse). Generally, Cu Mai indicates excess Yang, occurring not necessarily after purgation. However, in this case, the Cu Mai appears after purgation and cannot be attributed solely to Yang excess. In Taiyang disease, if purgation results in a Cu Mai (Hasty Pulse) without Jian Xiong (Chest Binding/Syndrome), it suggests the disease is about to resolve. But here, purgation leads to Cu Mai (Hasty Pulse) accompanied by chest fullness, so it does not indicate resolution. This is because purgation has damaged Yang Qi, allowing exterior pathogens to gradually penetrate and lodge in the chest. Administer Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) to disperse the lodged pathogens and promote the circulation of Yang Qi. Shaoyao (Paeonia Root) nourishes Yin and is unsuitable for cases of Yang deficiency; therefore, it is removed. Since Yang Qi is already deficient, if slight aversion to cold is added, warming agents must be used to dispel the pathogen. Therefore, Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) is added.
