寸口脉沉而弱，沉即主骨，弱即主筋，沉即为肾，弱即为肝，汗出入水中，如水伤心，历节痛，黄汗出，故曰历节。

以上六味药，用水六升，先煮麻黄，去掉上浮的泡沫，再加入其他药物，煮取三升药液，分三次温服。
问：黄汗病的症状是身体浮肿，沉重感明显，出汗且发热口渴，状似风水病，汗水沾湿衣服，颜色正黄如柏树汁液，脉象自沉，这种病是如何得的？老师说：因为出汗时进入水中沐浴，水气从汗孔侵入而得此病，宜用黄芪芍药桂枝汤治疗。
以上三味药，用苦酒（醋）一升，水七升，混合在一起，煮取三升药液，去渣，温服一升，服药后应当出现心烦的症状，服用到六七天才会缓解；如果心烦不止，是因为苦酒阻滞的缘故，可以用美酒酿成的醋代替苦酒。
黄汗病，双小腿自觉发冷，假如发热，这属于历节病；饭后出汗，傍晚时常盗汗，这是营气有热；如果出汗后反而发热，时间久了身体必然会出现肌肤甲错（皮肤干燥粗糙如鳞甲）；如果发热不止，时间久了必然生恶疮；如果身体沉重，出汗后随即减轻，病情轻的，时间久了身体必然出现目闰（此处指眼睑或面部浮肿），目闰即伴有胸痛；又如有腰部以上出汗，腰部以下无汗，腰髋弛缓疼痛，感觉像有东西在皮肤中，严重的不能进食，身体疼痛沉重，烦躁，小便不利，这是黄汗病，用桂枝加黄芪汤治疗。
桂枝三两 芍药三两 甘草二两（炙） 生姜三两（切） 大枣十五枚 黄芪二两
以上六味药，用水八升，煮取三升药液，去渣，温服一升，每日三次服用。
寸口脉沉而弱，沉脉主骨，弱脉主筋，沉脉对应肾，弱脉对应肝，出汗时入水沐浴，如水邪伤心，导致历节痛，黄汗出，所以称为历节。
味酸则伤筋，筋受伤则松弛，名为泄；味咸则伤骨，骨受伤则痿软，名为枯；枯和泄相互搏结，名为断泄。营气运行不通，卫气不能独行，营卫俱虚，三焦失去护卫，四肢营养断绝，身体消瘦，唯独足部肿大，黄汗出，双小腿发热，这就成为历节病。
少阴病，脉浮而弱，弱则血不足，浮则为风邪，风与血相搏结，即产生牵引样疼痛。
肥胖之人，脉象涩小，短气，自汗出，历节疼痛，不可屈伸，这都是饮酒后出汗当风所致。
各种肢节疼痛，身体消瘦，脚肿得像要脱落一样，头晕目眩，短气，心中温温欲吐者，用桂枝芍药知母甘草汤治疗。

患历节病，疼痛，双足肿胀，大小便不利，脉象沉紧者，用甘草麻黄汤治疗；脉象沉而细数者，用越婢加术汤治疗。（这两个方剂在前面已列出）
老师说：寸口脉迟而涩，迟则主寒，涩为血不足；趺阳脉微而迟，微则为气虚，迟则为寒。胃气不足，则手足逆冷；营卫不利，则腹满肠鸣互相追逐，气转至膀胱，营卫俱劳损。阳气不通则身体寒冷，阴气不通则骨骼疼痛，阳气前通则恶寒，阴气前通则麻木不仁。阴阳调和，气机才能运行，大气一转，寒气乃散，实证则失气（放屁），虚证则遗尿，名为气分病。
气分病，心下坚硬，大如盘子，边缘如旋转的杯子，用桂枝甘草麻黄生姜大枣细辛附子汤治疗。
桂枝三两 甘草二两（炙） 麻黄二两 生姜二两（切） 大枣十二枚 细辛三两 附子一枚（炮）

伤寒杂病论卷第十五
病人胸满、嘴唇枯萎、舌色青紫、口燥，只想漱水而不想咽下，无寒热症状，脉象微大来迟，腹部并不胀满，但病人自称胀满，这是有瘀血的表现。
病人如有发热之状，烦闷，口干燥而渴，但脉象反而没有热象，这是阴分伏热，属于瘀血，当下之，宜用下瘀血汤。
下瘀血汤方

下血，先出血后排便者，此为近血，用赤豆当归散治疗。
以上两味药，捣为散剂，用浆水和服一方寸匙，每日三次。
老师说：病人面色苍白无华，无寒热症状，脉象沉弦者，必流鼻血；脉浮而弱，按之则绝者，必下血；烦闷而咳嗽者，必吐血。
从春季到夏季流鼻血者，属太阳经；从秋季到冬季流鼻血者，属阳明经。
尺脉浮，眼睛昏花晕黄者，鼻血未止；黄色消退，眼睛清明者，知道鼻血已止。
问：寸口脉微浮而涩，按法应当亡血，或者汗出，假设不出汗是怎么回事？老师说：如果身上有疮，被刀斧所伤，因失血故也，此名金疮；没有脓液的，用王不留行散治疗；有脓液的，用排脓散治疗，排脓汤也可以治疗。
王不留行十分（烧） 蒴藿细叶十分（烧） 桑根白皮十分（烧） 甘草十八分 黄芩二分 蜀椒三分（去目） 厚朴二分 干姜二分 芍药二分

以上两味药，捣为末，温水送服一方寸匙，并外敷于疮上。
诸脉浮数，按法应当发热，却反而洒浙恶寒，若有疼痛之处，应当发生痈肿。
老师说：对于各种痈肿，如何知道有脓无脓？用手按压肿处，发热者，为有脓；不发热者，为无脓。
肠痈病，身体肌肤甲错，腹部皮肤紧张，按之柔软，如肿状，腹部无积聚，身体无热，脉数，这是肠内有痈，用薏苡附子败酱散治疗。

辨胸痹病脉证并治

Pi Shui (Edema of the Skin), characterized by swelling of the four limbs, with water qi retained in the skin and slight tremors of the muscles in the four limbs, is primarily treated with Fangji Fuling Tang (Stephania and Poria Decoction).
Fangji Fuling Tang (Stephania and Poria Decoction)
Fangji (Stephiae Radix) 3 liang, Huangqi (Astragali Radix) 3 liang, Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) 3 liang, Fuling (Poria) 6 liang, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang (roasted).
The above five herbs are decocted in 6 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng of liquid, which is divided into three warm doses.
Li Shui (Internal Water Retention), characterized by generalized yellowish edema of the body and face, a deep pulse, and difficulty in urination, is primarily treated with Gancao Mahuang Tang (Licorice and Ephedra Decoction); Yuespi Jia Zhu Tang (Yuebi Plus Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) is also applicable.
Gancao Mahuang Tang (Licorice and Ephedra Decoction)
Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang, Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) 4 liang.
The above two herbs are decocted in 5 sheng of water. First, boil Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), remove the foam on the surface, then add Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), and boil to obtain 3 sheng of liquid. Strain and take 1 sheng warm. This should induce mild sweating. If sweating does not occur, administer another dose.
Yuespi Jia Zhu Tang (Yuebi Plus Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction)
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) 6 liang, Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) half jin, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang (roasted), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) 3 liang, Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) 15 pieces, Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 4 liang.
The above six herbs are decocted in 6 sheng of water. First, boil Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), remove the foam, then add the remaining herbs, and boil to obtain 3 sheng of liquid. Divide into three warm doses.
Question: The disease of Huang Han (Yellow Sweat) presents with body swelling and heaviness, sweating accompanied by fever and thirst, resembling Feng Shui (Wind-Water Edema). The sweat stains clothes yellow like cypress juice, and the pulse is naturally deep. How is this disease acquired? The Master said: It is acquired when one enters water for bathing while sweating, allowing water qi to enter through the sweat pores. It should be treated with Huangqi Shaoyao Guizhi Tang (Astragalus, Peony, and Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
Huangqi Shaoyao Guizhi Tang (Astragalus, Peony, and Cinnamon Twig Decoction)
Huangqi (Astragali Radix) 5 liang, Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 3 liang, Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) 3 liang.
The above three herbs are combined with 1 sheng of Ku Jiu (bitter wine/vinegar) and 7 sheng of water, boiled to obtain 3 sheng of liquid. Strain and take 1 sheng warm. One should experience mental restlessness after taking it, which resolves after 6-7 days. If mental restlessness persists, it is due to the obstruction by Ku Jiu; replace it with Mei Jiu Zao (wine lees from fine wine).
In the disease of Huang Han (Yellow Sweat), the calves feel cold. If they feel hot instead, it belongs to Li Jie (Joint Bi Syndrome). Sweating after eating and night sweats in the evening indicate heat in Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi). If fever persists after sweating, the body will eventually develop Jia Cuo (rough, scaly skin). If fever continues indefinitely, malignant sores will eventually develop. If the body feels heavy and lightens after sweating, but eventually leads to eyelid edema (Yun Yan) associated with chest pain, or if there is sweating above the waist and no sweating below, with flaccid pain in the loins and hips as if something is trapped in the skin, severe cases may involve inability to eat, body pain and heaviness, irritability, and difficulty in urination. This is Huang Han (Yellow Sweat), treated with Guizhi Jia Huangqi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Plus Astragalus Decoction).

Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) 3 liang, Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 3 liang, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang (roasted), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) 3 liang (sliced), Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) 15 pieces, Huangqi (Astragali Radix) 2 liang.
The above six herbs are decocted in 8 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng of liquid. Strain and take 1 sheng warm, three times daily.
The Cun Kou (Radial) pulse is deep and weak. Deep indicates bone pathology, weak indicates tendon pathology. Deep corresponds to the Kidney, and weak corresponds to the Liver. Entering water while sweating allows water pathogen to damage the Heart, leading to Li Jie (Joint Bi Syndrome) pain and Huang Han (Yellow Sweat), hence named Li Jie.
Sour taste damages tendons; tendon damage leads to laxity, named Xie (Leakage). Salty taste damages bones; bone damage leads to atrophy, named Ku (Withered). The combination of Ku and Xie is named Duan Xie (Severed Leakage). When Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) circulation is blocked and Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) cannot move independently, both Ying and Wei become deficient, the San Jiao (Triple Burner) loses its defense, and the four extremities are cut off from nourishment. The body becomes emaciated, while only the feet swell. With Huang Han (Yellow Sweat) and heat in the calves, it becomes Li Jie (Joint Bi Syndrome).
In Shao Yin (Lesser Yin) disease, the pulse is floating and weak. Weakness indicates blood deficiency, and floating indicates wind. Wind and blood fighting each other causes pulling pain.
In obese individuals, the pulse is choppy and small, accompanied by shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating, Li Jie (Joint Bi Syndrome) pain, and inability to flex or extend the joints. These are all caused by sweating after drinking alcohol and exposing oneself to wind.
For various joint pains, emaciation, swollen feet as if detached, dizziness, shortness of breath, and a feeling of warmth with nausea, Gui Zhi Shao Yao Zhi Mu Gan Cao Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Peony, Anemarrhena, and Licorice Decoction) is indicated.

For a deep, thin, and rapid pulse, Yuespi Jia Zhu Tang (Yuebi Plus Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) is indicated. (Both formulas are seen previously).
The Master said: The Cun Kou (Radial) pulse is slow and choppy. Slow indicates cold, choppy indicates blood deficiency. The Zu Yang (Dorsalis Pedis) pulse is faint and slow. Faint indicates Qi deficiency, slow indicates cold. Insufficient Stomach Qi leads to cold hands and feet. Disharmony of Ying and Wei leads to abdominal fullness and borborygmus, with Qi moving to the Bladder, causing exhaustion of Ying and Wei. Obstruction of Yang Qi causes body coldness; obstruction of Yin Qi causes bone pain. Anterior unblocking of Yang causes aversion to cold; anterior unblocking of Yin causes numbness and insensitivity. When Yin and Yang harmonize, Qi flows. When the Great Qi rotates, cold dissipates. Excess manifests as flatulence; deficiency manifests as urinary incontinence. This is named Qi Fen (Qi Division/Disease).
Qi Fen (Qi Disease) presents with hardness under the heart, large as a plate, with edges like a rotating cup. It is treated with Guizhi Gancao Mahuang Shengjiang Dazao Xixin Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Licorice, Ephedra, Ginger, Jujube, Asarum, and Prepared Aconite Decoction).

Epistaxis from spring to summer belongs to Tai Yang (Greater Yang). Epistaxis from autumn to winter belongs to Yang Ming (Bright Yang).
Floating Chi (Cubit) pulse and blurred vision with yellow tint indicate ongoing epistaxis. When the yellow tint disappears and vision clears, epistaxis has stopped.
Question: Cun Kou (Radial) pulse is slightly floating and choppy, indicating blood loss or sweating. If sweating does not occur, what is the cause?
