风邪伤害卫气。湿邪流注关节。风湿相互搏结。两种邪气扰乱经络。所以骨节剧烈疼痛且牵引作痛。关节不能屈伸。触碰则疼痛加剧。风邪偏胜则卫气不固。出现出汗、气短。怕风不想脱衣。这是风邪在体表的表现。湿邪偏胜则水气运行不畅。小便不通利。或者身体轻微浮肿。这是湿邪外迫肌表的表现。给予甘草附子汤。以散除湿邪并巩固卫气。

桂枝和甘草的辛甘之性。发散风邪并巩固卫气。附子和白术的辛甘之性。解除湿气并温通经络。
《活人书》说。身体浮肿的。加防风一两。心悸气短的。小便不通利的。加白茯苓一两半。
伤寒脉象浮滑。这是表有热。里有寒。主治方剂为白虎汤。
浮脉表示病在表。滑脉表示病在里。表有热。指体表有热邪。里有寒。指邪气传入体内。因为邪气尚未进入腑。所以只说寒。就像瓜蒂散证中。说胸上有寒邪的情况一样。给予白虎汤。以解除内外的邪气。
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, four liang, peeled, pungent and hot) Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, three pieces, processed, peeled, broken into eight slices, pungent and hot) Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger, three liang, sliced, pungent and warm) Gancao (Licorice Root, two liang, honey-fried, sweet and warm) Dazao (Jujube Fruit, twelve pieces, torn open, sweet and warm)
The above five herbs. Boil with six sheng of water. Reduce to two sheng of decoction. Remove the dregs. Divide into three doses and take warm.
When wind pathogen is in the exterior, disperse it with the pungent and sweet properties of Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Gancao (Licorice Root). When dampness pathogen is in the meridians, drive it out with the pungent and hot property of Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root). The pungent and sweet properties of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) and Dazao (Jujube Fruit) circulate Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi). They unblock Jin-Ye (Body Fluids) to harmonize the exterior.
When wind and dampness contend with each other, causing severe pain and pulling sensation in the bone joints, inability to flex or extend, and intensified pain upon touch, accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, dysuria, aversion to wind, reluctance to remove clothing, or slight edema, Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Decoction) is the primary formula.
Wind pathogen injures Wei Qi (Defensive Qi), while dampness flows into the joints. Wind and dampness contending disrupt the meridians, hence the severe pain and pulling sensation in the bone joints, inability to flex or extend, and intensified pain upon touch. Excess wind leads to insecure Wei Qi (Defensive Qi), resulting in sweating, shortness of breath, aversion to wind, and reluctance to remove clothing, indicating wind in the exterior. Excess dampness leads to impaired fluid metabolism, resulting in dysuria or slight edema, indicating dampness pressing on the exterior. Administer Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Decoction) to dissipate dampness and secure Wei Qi (Defensive Qi).
Gancao (Licorice Root, two liang, honey-fried, sweet and neutral) Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, two pieces, processed, peeled, broken, pungent and hot) Baizhu (Atractylodes Rhizome, two liang, sweet and warm) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, four liang, peeled, pungent and hot)
The above four herbs. Boil with six sheng of water. Reduce to three sheng of decoction. Remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm. Three times daily. After the initial dose, if a slight sweat occurs, the condition resolves. If appetite returns but restlessness recurs after sweating, administer five he. If one sheng is considered too much, administering six or seven he is optimal.
The pungent and sweet properties of Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Gancao (Licorice Root) dissipate wind pathogen and secure Wei Qi (Defensive Qi). The pungent and sweet properties of Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) and Baizhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) resolve dampness and warm the meridians.
Huoren Shu (Book of Vitality) states: For slight edema, add Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) one liang. For palpitations and dysuria, add Baifuling (Poria, *Poria cocos*) one and a half liang.
In Shanghan (Cold Damage), a floating and slippery pulse indicates heat in the exterior and cold in the interior. Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) is the primary formula.
Floating pulse indicates disease in the exterior; slippery pulse indicates disease in the interior. Heat in the exterior means external heat pathogen. Cold in the interior means pathogen has transmitted inward. Since the pathogen has not yet entered the Fu organs, only "cold" is mentioned. This is similar to the Gengti San (Melon Seed Powder) pattern where "cold in the chest" is described. Administer Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) to resolve both internal and external pathogens.
