治验
一人患脑衄，日夜有数升，诸药不效。余为针关元穴，入二寸留二十呼，问病患曰∶针下觉热否？曰∶
热矣。乃令吸气出针，其血立止。
一法治鼻衄与脑衄神方，用赤金打一戒指，带左手无名指上，如发作时，用右手将戒指捏紧，箍住则衄止矣。
咳嗽且伴有大量清鼻涕的，是肺受风寒侵袭所致，以华盖散为主治方剂。如果外感风寒，内伤生冷食物，导致胸膈部痞塞不适，咳嗽并伴有呕吐，以五膈散为主治方剂。咳嗽且烦躁不安的，病属肾，以石膏丸为主治方剂。大凡咳嗽患者，忌讳服用寒凉药物，若误服必然引发其他变证；同时忌讳房事，恐怕演变为虚劳病。久咳且额头出汗，或四肢有时微微发冷，间歇性发热、困倦乏力的，属于劳咳（慢性消耗性咳嗽）。急需艾灸关元穴三百壮，服用金液丹、保命丹、姜附汤，必须尽早治疗，拖延则难以救治。（治疗咳嗽的方法，如果能像先生那样根据症状灵活制宜，怎么会有痨瘵无法治愈的忧患？无奈医生们往往将黄芩、知母、桑白皮、杏仁等作为要药，导致肺气被寒邪冰伏凝滞，脾肾之气衰败，等到后来想用补法时，也不过是用四君子汤、六味地黄丸这类平和的方剂和药物给予患者，这叫做“养杀”病人。）
这种病症在医书中称为哮喘，因天气寒冷饮用冷水，或过量食用盐分食物，损伤了肺气，所以喉咙常发出如风吼般的声音，若从事劳累活动则气喘且胸部胀满。需要艾灸天突穴五十壮，重症者加灸中脘穴五十壮，服用五膈散，或者研磨两条蚯蚓，用醋调匀后服用，可立即痊愈。（哮证遇冷则发作，遇劳累则加重，诊治得当，痊愈也不难，然而少有能除根的，先生的这种方法非常奇妙，请尝试施行。）
凡是房事过度，或进食生冷食物太过，损伤了脾肺之气，从而导致人咯血。饭前服用钟乳粉、金液丹，饭后服用阿胶散即可痊愈。如果是老年人多因酒色过度，损伤脾气则导致吐血，损伤肾气则导致便血（泻血），不早期治疗大多死亡。应当艾灸关元穴三百壮，服用姜附汤、金液丹可自行痊愈。损伤肺气则血液从鼻腔流出，名为肺衄（鼻出血），这是上焦热气向上攻冲所致。服用金液丹，或用口含冷水，以及用郁金粉末调涂于项后及鼻梁柱上。大凡肺衄出血不过几杯的量，如果出血达到升斗之多，则是脑漏（实为脑衄）。（此处应作脑衄更为恰当。）这是由于真气虚弱而血液妄行，急需针刺关元穴三寸深，留针二十呼的时间即可立止，再艾灸关元穴二百壮，服用金液丹、草神丹可以保全性命。（失血之证，世人所畏惧，医生也多不敢下手，他们畏惧的是死亡迅速，以及容易形成痨瘵，不敢下手的原因是恐怕不认识其根源，且身体恢复困难。不知道若能探究其根源，察明其原因，再观察面色，辨别脉象，有的起于形体劳累，有的成于情志过失，由于外感引起的容易治疗，出于内伤引起的难以痊愈。络脉与经隧不同，经隧沉重而络脉轻浅；肝脾与肺肾不同，肺肾难治而肝脾易治。如果不搞错治疗方法，即使病情严重困难也可以挽回，关键在于辨别阴阳，权衡虚实，温法、清法、补法、泻法各得其宜。不可畏惧火热之焰，专门崇尚寒凉药物，逐渐消磨人体的生气，而导致不可解救的情况比比皆是。）
治疗验案：
有一人患脑衄，日夜出血数升，各种药物无效。我为他针刺关元穴，进针二寸，留针二十呼，询问病患说：“针下感觉热吗？”回答说：“热了。”于是令其吸气时出针，其血立即停止。
Cough accompanied by abundant clear nasal discharge is caused by the Lung affected by Wind-Cold; Huagai San (Hua Gai Powder) is the primary formula. If external contraction of Wind-Cold and internal injury from cold/raw food cause stagnation in the chest and diaphragm, with coughing and vomiting, Wuge San (Wu Ge Powder) is indicated. Cough with irritability belongs to the Kidney; Shigao Wan (Gypsum Pill) is indicated. Generally, patients with cough must avoid cooling medicines; violating this will inevitably lead to other complications. Sexual intercourse must be avoided to prevent transformation into Consumption (Xu Lao). Chronic cough with sweating on the forehead, or occasional slight coldness in the four limbs, intermittent fever, and fatigue indicates Labor Cough (Lao Ke). Immediate moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV-4) for 300 moxa cones, along with administration of Jinye Dan (Golden Fluid Pill), Baoming Dan (Life-Preserving Pill), and Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction) is required. Early treatment is essential; delay makes it difficult to save. (Regarding the treatment of cough, if one follows the Master's principle of adapting treatment to specific symptoms, there would be no incurable cases of Consumption. However, physicians often erroneously use Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Sangbaipi (Mulberry Root Bark), and Xingren (Apricot Seed) as key drugs, causing Lung Qi to be frozen and stagnant, and Spleen-Kidney Qi to fail. When later attempts are made to tonify, only mild formulas such as Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) and Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) are used, which essentially "nourishes them to death.")
This condition is named Asthma in medical texts. It arises from cold weather, drinking cold water, or excessive salt intake, which injures Lung Qi. Consequently, the throat often produces a sound like wind roaring, and exertion leads to panting and chest fullness. Moxibustion at Tiantu (CV-22) for 50 cones is required; for severe cases, add Zhongwan (CV-12) for 50 cones. Administer Wuge San (Wu Ge Powder), or grind two earthworms and take them mixed with vinegar for immediate cure. (Asthma attacks when exposed to cold and worsens with exertion. With proper diagnosis and treatment, recovery is not difficult, though few achieve a permanent cure. The Master's method is excellent; please try it.)
Excessive sexual desire or excessive consumption of cold foods damages the Qi of the Spleen and Lung, leading to hemoptysis (coughing up blood). Take Zhongru Fen (Zeolite Powder) and Jinye Dan (Golden Fluid Pill) before meals, and Ejiao San (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder) after meals to recover. In elderly individuals, excessive wine and sex damage Spleen Qi, leading to hematemesis (vomiting blood); damage to Kidney Qi leads to hematochezia (blood in stool). Without early treatment, death is likely. Moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV-4) for 300 cones, combined with Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction) and Jinye Dan (Golden Fluid Pill), can lead to self-recovery. Injury to Lung Qi causes blood to flow from the nose, termed Feinu (Lung Epistaxis), due to Heat attacking upward from the Upper Jiao. Take Jinye Dan (Golden Fluid Pill), hold cold water in the mouth, or apply Yujin powder (Curcuma Radix powder) mixed with liquid to the back of the neck and the bridge of the nose. Generally, Feinu (Lung Epistaxis) involves only a few cups of blood; if bleeding reaches a sheng or dou volume, it is Noulou (Brain Leakage), which should correctly be called Naonu (Brain Epistaxis). This occurs because True Qi is deficient, causing blood to move recklessly. Immediately needle Guanyuan (CV-4) to a depth of three cun, retain for twenty hu breaths to stop bleeding immediately, then moxa Guanyuan (CV-4) for 200 cones, and administer Jinye Dan (Golden Fluid Pill) and Caoshen Dan (Grass Spirit Pill) to ensure survival. (Bleeding disorders are feared by the public, and many physicians shrink from treating them. They fear rapid death and the easy progression to Consumption. Their hesitation stems from ignorance of the root cause and difficulty in restoring the body. One must investigate the root, examine the cause, observe the complexion, and differentiate the pulse. Causes may include physical labor or emotional excess. External contractions are easier to treat; internal injuries are harder to cure. Collateral vessels differ from meridians; meridians are heavy/deep while collaterals are light/superficial. Liver-Spleen differs from Lung-Kidney; Lung-Kidney is difficult while Liver-Spleen is easier. If the treatment method is not erroneous, even severe cases can be reversed. The key lies in differentiating Yin and Yang, weighing Deficiency and Excess, and appropriately applying warming, clearing, tonifying, and reducing methods. Do not fear heat flames and rely solely on cold/cooling herbs, gradually destroying vital Qi, leading to untreatable situations, which are common.)
Clinical Case:
One patient suffered from Brain Epistaxis (Naonu), bleeding several sheng daily, with all medicines ineffective. I needled Guanyuan (CV-4), inserted two cun deep, retained for twenty hu breaths, and asked the patient: "Do you feel heat under the needle?" He replied: "Yes, hot." I instructed him to inhale deeply upon withdrawing the needle, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
Another divine prescription for Nose Epistaxis and Brain Epistaxis: Forge a ring from red gold, wear it on the left ring finger. Upon onset, tighten the ring with the right hand; constriction stops the bleeding.
