《内经》说：各种痉挛强直、停饮症状，都属于湿证。稠浊的是痰，属于肺火；清稀的是饮，属于脾湿。论痰有五种，即风痰、湿痰、食痰、火痰、酒痰。所谓风痰，是因形寒饮冷，外感风寒内郁，痰色清白多涎，或导致瘫痪；湿痰，是因生冷寒湿，停积不散，身体倦怠软弱，或面部、腹部肿胀；食痰，是因过食膏粱厚味、煎炸辛辣，加上重褥保暖过度，多形成癖块；火痰，是各经火炎上，煎熬肺金，津液稠粘，可形成痈痿；酒痰，是因酗酒无度，运化失常，次日仍呕吐，伤肺成积。人的气血流行没有一刻间断，稍有壅滞，郁结而生热，痰便产生了。也有因寒致痰的，然而百病多生于痰。如中风口噤，言语謇涩流涎，不能行动，二便失常，眩晕嘈杂，昏仆丧神等证，以及妇人白带、小儿惊痫、周身诸疾，多因痰引起。论饮有四种，即痰饮、悬饮、溢饮、支饮。如人原本肥胖如今消瘦，水走肠间，沥沥有声，称为痰饮；水流胁下，咳唾牵引疼痛，称为悬饮；水入四肢，无汗身痛，称为溢饮；咳逆形肿，短气不能平卧，称为支饮。各种饮证多因酒后饮冷所致，脉滑大有痰象；两关脉大实，膈上有痰，宜用吐法。眼胞及眼下发黑者也是痰证。肝脉濡散，弦而浮滑，为饮证。治痰要清肺利气，治饮要实脾燥湿。

Damp-heat in the Lower Jiao (Lower Burner) stagnates and fails to circulate, leading to sweating in the genital area and scrotum. The treatment should focus on promoting diuresis and draining dampness.
Main Formula: Huashi (Talcum), Longdancao (Gentian Root), Zhuling (Polyporus), Zexie (Alisma), Fuling (Poria), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (each 1 qian), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) (3 fen), plus Dengxincao (Juncus Effusus Achenes) (20 pieces). Decoct in water and take orally.
Simple Prescription: Roasted garlic mashed with Danshichi (Prepared Soybean) into pills, coated with Zhusha (Cinnabar). Take 30 pills on an empty stomach, washed down with Dengxincao tea.
Another Method: Calcined Gefen (Margarita Shell Powder) and Muli (Oyster Shell) are ground into extremely fine powder, placed in a silk bag, and applied as a dusting powder.
Damp-heat invading the Spleen Meridian causes sweating in the palms and soles. In winter, when Yang Qi is stored internally, sweating increases further.
Main Formula: Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Cangzhu (Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome), Fuling (Poria), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), Huashi (Talcum) (each 1 qian), Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome) (7 fen), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Gancao (Licorice Root) (each 3 fen). Decoct with Dengxincao (Juncus Effusus Achenes) and take orally.
Simple Prescription: Decoct Baifan (Alumen) and Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) in water, and wash frequently.
Another Method: Grind Muli (Oyster Shell), Tuoseng (Zinc Oxide), Kufan (Calcined Alumen), and Huangdan (Red Lead) into powder, and sprinkle it between the toes.
The Classic states: "All spasms, rigidity, and retained fluids belong to Dampness." Thick and turbid substances are Phlegm (Tan), associated with Lung Fire; clear and thin fluids are Fluid Retention (Yin), associated with Spleen Dampness. There are five types of Phlegm: Wind-Phlegm, Damp-Phlegm, Food-Phlegm, Fire-Phlegm, and Wine-Phlegm.
Wind-Phlegm arises from cold exposure and drinking cold liquids, external contraction with internal stagnation; the phlegm is clear, white, and abundant in saliva, potentially leading to paralysis.
Damp-Phlegm results from consuming raw, cold, and damp foods that accumulate and fail to dissipate, causing fatigue and weakness, or swelling of the face and abdomen.
Food-Phlegm stems from rich, greasy, spicy, and fried foods, combined with excessive warmth, often forming masses.
Fire-Phlegm occurs when fire flares up in various meridians, scorching the Lung Metal, thickening body fluids, and potentially forming abscesses or atrophy.
Wine-Phlegm is caused by excessive alcohol consumption without proper metabolism, leading to vomiting the next day and lung injury with accumulation.
Qi and Blood flow continuously without interruption; any stagnation leads to heat accumulation and the generation of Phlegm. Although some cases arise from Cold, most diseases originate from Phlegm. Examples include stroke with locked jaw, slurred speech, drooling, immobility, bowel/bladder dysfunction, dizziness, palpitations, sudden collapse, loss of consciousness, leukorrhea in women, infantile convulsions, and various systemic diseases.
There are four types of Fluid Retention (Yin): Tan Yin (Phlegm-Fluid), Xuan Yin (Hanging Fluid), Yi Yin (Overflowing Fluid), and Zhi Yin (Supporting Fluid).
Tan Yin: When a person becomes emaciated after being obese, with water moving in the intestines making gurgling sounds.
Xuan Yin: Water accumulating under the ribs, causing pain upon coughing and spitting.
Yi Yin: Water entering the limbs, causing body pain due to lack of sweating.
Zhi Yin: Coughing, wheezing, swelling, shortness of breath, and inability to lie flat.
These fluid disorders are often caused by drinking cold liquids after alcohol consumption. A slippery pulse indicates Phlegm; excess fullness in the middle and right pulses with Phlegm above the diaphragm suggests using emesis. Dark circles under the eyes indicate Phlegm. A liver pulse that is soggy, scattered, wiry, and floating indicates Fluid Retention. Treating Phlegm requires clearing the Lung and benefiting Qi; treating Fluid Retention requires strengthening the Spleen and drying Dampness.
