三诊 生气通天论曰、阳气者精则养神,柔则养筋。又曰、阳气者烦劳则张,精绝,辟积于夏,使人煎厥。
内经极言阳火内燃,气血煎熬,阴不含抱,阳火浊炎,一时阴阳几离,遂为煎厥,经义如此。原属大概。今
诊脉象细弦,左尺小涩,右尺不藏。病起于数年前,屡屡发厥,旋即经事迟行,甚至一年之中仅来两次,
其阳气之吸灼,阴液之消耗,略见一斑。兹则肩背腰膂股 皆痛,火时上升,心悸耳鸣头晕。据述操持
烦劳,甚于平人。显由烦劳激动阳气,壮火食气,遂致阳明络空,风阳乘虚入络,营血不能荣养筋络,是
失其柔则养筋之常也。心为阳,心之神为阳中之阳,然神机转运,则神气灵明,神机不运,则神气蒙昧,
所以离必中虚,其足以转运阳神者,阴津而已矣。今风阳亢盛,阴津日亏,虽有阳神,而机枢不运,所以
迷沉善寐,是失其精则养神之常也。舌苔或黄或白,或浓腻异常,有似阴虚之中,复夹湿邪为患。殊不
知人必有胃,胃必有浊,浊随虚火升浮,舌苔自然变异,从可知浊乃假浊,虚乃真虚也。治之之法,惟有
甘以益胃,滋肾祛热,以熄风木。然必安静勿劳,方能奏功,不可不知。

(前文)呈现气火升浮的征象,不用滋阴之水来济助,就不足以制约其火势。然而,滋补肾阴的药物大多性质腻滞,若有痰热阻隔,这些药物便无法顺利下行发挥作用。《内经》说:“虚则补其母”,肺金是肾水的母脏。因此拟定滋养水之上源(即润肺生津以生肾水),同时参入清泄气火、化痰热的药物。

第六诊:通过滋养水之上源并参入化痰之法,胃纳逐渐恢复,各种病症趋于平和。但偶尔仍有呛咳,咳嗽引发时,气机随即上冲,咽喉微痛。脉象细弦。这是肝经的气火升浮,导致在上位的肺气不能肃降,在下位的肾阴不能固摄。拟定滋补肾水以涵养肝木,使阴气收纳于下,略加化痰药,以免药性呆滞。

三诊:《生气通天论》说:“阳气者,精则养神,柔则养筋。”又说:“阳气者,烦劳则张,精绝,辟积于夏,使人煎厥。”《内经》极力言说阳火内燃,气血煎熬,阴不含抱,阳火浊炎,一时阴阳几近分离,遂为煎厥,经义如此。这原本属于大概情况。如今诊得脉象细弦,左尺小涩,右尺不藏。病起于数年前,屡屡发厥,旋即月经迟行,甚至一年之中仅来两次,其阳气之吸灼,阴液之消耗,略见一斑。现在肩背腰膂股皆痛,火时上升,心悸耳鸣头晕。据述操持烦劳,甚于常人。显由烦劳激动阳气,壮火食气,遂致阳明络空,风阳乘虚入络,营血不能荣养筋络,这是失去了“柔则养筋”的正常功能。心为阳脏,心之神为阳中之阳,然而神机转运,则神气灵明,神机不运,则神气蒙昧,所以离必中虚,其足以转运阳神者,阴津而已矣。如今风阳亢盛,阴津日亏,虽有阳神,而机枢不运,所以迷沉善寐,这是失去了“精则养神”的正常功能。舌苔或黄或白,或浓腻异常,有似阴虚之中,复夹湿邪为患。殊不知人必有胃,胃必有浊,浊随虚火升浮,舌苔自然变异,从可知浊乃假浊,虚乃真虚也。治之之法,惟有甘以益胃,滋肾祛热,以熄风木。然必安静勿劳,方能奏功,不可不知。

(Prior context) The manifestation of Qi and Fire ascending and floating cannot be controlled without nourishing with Water. However, substances that tonify Water tend to be cloying and obstructive; if Phlegm-Heat blocks the pathways, they cannot descend effectively. The *Classic* states: "When there is deficiency, tonify its mother." Lung Metal is the mother of Kidney Water. Therefore, it is proposed to nourish the upper source of Water (i.e., moisten the Lungs to generate Kidney Water), while simultaneously incorporating herbs to clear and drain Qi-Fire and resolve Phlegm-Heat.

* Fritillariae Bulbus (*Chuanbeimu*) - 5 fen (these two ingredients are separately ground into powder and taken first mixed with water)
**Sixth Consultation:** By nourishing the upper source of Water and incorporating methods to resolve Phlegm, gastric appetite has gradually recovered, and various ailments have stabilized. However, occasional choking coughs persist; when triggered by coughing, Qi rushes upward, causing slight throat pain. The pulse is fine and wiry. This indicates Liver Qi-Fire ascending and floating, leading to failure of Upper Lung Qi to descend and Lower Kidney Yin to secure. It is proposed to tonify Kidney Water to nourish Liver Wood, allowing Yin Qi to settle downward, with a slight addition of phlegm-resolving herbs to avoid stagnation.

Normally lacking spirit, with tinnitus like cicada chirping. Pulse is fine and wiry. Although Damp-Phlegm exists, Ying-Deficiency is more severe, with Wind-Yang counterflow, resulting in peeling of the tongue center. It is proposed to nourish Ying without using overly cloying or softening agents.

**Second Consultation:** Tonifying Qi aids spleen-stomach transportation, causing Damp-Phlegm to transform spontaneously. Nourishing Ying aids moistening and containment, causing Liver-Yang to extinguish spontaneously. The previous formula showed stabilization; continue with the same principle.

Blood fails to nourish Liver, causing Chong Qi and Liver-Yang to rebel upward. Propose harmonizing Liver-Stomach Yin.

**Second Consultation:** History of Liver-Jue attacks. Liver-Qi transforms into Fire, consuming Yin fluids, preventing Ying fluids from nourishing. Whole body bones/joints ache, vertigo, palpitations, tinnitus, red malar flush, heat steaming chest, chest oppression, Kidney Water fails to rise to Heart, frequent drowsiness. Pulse fine-wiry, choppy at Chi. Nourish Kidney fluid to extinguish Wind-Wood.

* Coix Seed (*Huaimaixiao*)
**Third Consultation:** *Suwen: Shengqi Tongtian Lun* states: "Yang Qi, when refined, nourishes the Spirit; when soft, nourishes the sinews." It also says: "Yang Qi, when subjected to overwork, expands; essence exhausts; accumulating through summer leads to Jian-Jue (Frying Jue)." The *Neijing* emphasizes internal burning of Yang-Fire, frying Qi and Blood, Yin failing to embrace, Yang-Fire becoming turbid and hot, leading to near separation of Yin and Yang, resulting in Jian-Jue. This is the general meaning. Current diagnosis: pulse fine-wiry, left Chi small-choppy, right Chi fails to store. Disease started years ago with frequent Jue attacks, followed by delayed menstruation, even only twice a year. This shows Yang sucking essence and consuming Yin fluids. Now shoulder/back/waist/thighs hurt, fire rises, palpitations/tinnitus/dizziness. Overwork excites Yang, strong Fire consumes Qi, causing Yangming collaterals to empty, Wind-Yang enters collaterals, Ying-Blood fails to nourish sinews, losing the function of "softly nourishing sinews." Heart is Yang, Spirit is Yang within Yang. If Spirit mechanism moves, Spirit is bright; if not, Spirit is dull. Thus Li (Fire) must have emptiness in the center; Yin fluids transport Yang Spirit. Now Wind-Yang is hyperactive, Yin fluids daily deplete. Though Yang Spirit exists, mechanism doesn't move, causing deep sleep/confusion, losing "refined nourishing Spirit." Tongue coating varies yellow/white/greasy, suggesting Dampness complicating Yin deficiency. Actually, stomach has turbidity; turbidity rises with deficient fire, changing tongue coating. Turbidity is false, deficiency is true. Treatment: sweet to benefit Stomach, nourish Kidney, clear heat, extinguish Wind-Wood. Must rest and avoid labor.

**Patient Chu (Right):** Robust, damp-phlegm abundant. Phlegm in chest/epigastrium causes vomiting. Liver/Gallbladder are exterior-interior. Liver ascending transforms Heart Ying; Gallbladder descending transforms Ministerial Fire. Stomach is middle pathway. Gallbladder/Stomach should descend. Now Stomach blocked by Phlegm-Qi, Stomach Qi fails to descend, Gallbladder Wood Qi fails to descend alone. Result: only Liver ascending, no Gallbladder descending. Body feels like sitting in a boat, lifted from void. Eyes red, indicating Gallbladder Qi-Fire carrying Mingmen Fire floating upward. Pulse wiry-slippery. Root of stroke. Previous sticky/yin-soft medicines are adding fuel to fire. Rarely seen cured.

**Patient Yu (Left):** Since childhood, Wind-Phlegm entered collaterals. Spasms cause vomiting of Phlegm-saliva, then recovery.
