王损庵治大理卿韩珠泉，遍身麻木，不能举动。以神效黄 汤加减授之，用黄 一两二钱，参、芍各六钱，
他称是一服减半。彼欲速效，遂并二服为一服，服之旬日，其病如失。论以元气未复，宜静养完固，而后可出。
渠不能从，盛夏遽出见朝谒客，劳烦累日，忽马上欲坠，仆从者扶归。邀诊视，辞不治，数日殁。呜呼！行百
里者，半于九十，可不戒哉。（《治法汇》）
张路玉治沈步云，解组后，以素禀多痰，恒有麻木之患，为疏六君子汤，服之颇验。而性不喜药，入
秋以来，渐觉肢体不遂。脉之，得软滑中有微之象，仍以前方去陈皮，加归、 、巴戟，平调半月而安。然此
症首重樽节，方可保全，毋徒恃药力为也。
巴慈明妇，产后眩晕心悸，神魂离散，若失脏腑之状，开眼则遍体麻木，如在云雾之中，必紧闭其目，似
觉少可，昼日烦躁，夜则安静。服四物等则呕逆不食，姜、附等则躁扰不宁。其脉虚大而数，按之则散，举之应
指。此心火浮散之象，因艰产受惊，痰饮乘虚袭入心包络中，留伏膈上，有入无出，致绵延不已。盖目开则诸
窍皆开，痰火堵塞心窍，所以神识无主；目闭则诸窍皆闭，痰火潜伏不行，故得稍安。与东垣所云合眼则阳气
不行之麻迥别。况昼甚夜轻，明是上焦阳位之病，与理痰清火之剂，诸症渐宁。然或因惊恚，或因饮食，不时
举废，此伏匿膈上之痰，无从搜涤也。乘发时用独参汤下紫雪，开通膈膜，仍与前药，调补半年而愈。
黄履素曰∶余年四十七时，忽患小指麻软，时作时止，每夏愈而冬甚。素闻指麻当防中风，因讲求预防之
法。有言宜却风化痰者，其说大谬。有言宜顺气活血者，谓气行则痰自消，血活则风自灭，其言近是。及读《薛
氏医案》治蒋州判中满吐痰，头晕指麻云∶中满者，脾气亏损也；痰盛者，脾气不能运也；头晕者，脾气不能
升也；指麻者，脾气不能用也。遂以补中益气汤，加茯苓、半夏以补脾土，用八味地黄丸以补土母而愈。后惑
于《乾坤生气方》云∶凡人手指麻软，三年后有中风之疾，可服搜风天麻二丸以预防之，乃朝饵暮服，以致大
便不禁，饮食不进而殁。夫预防之理，当养气血，节饮食，戒七情，远帷 可也。若服前丸以预防，适所以招
风取中也。读之怏然，遂确守其法，盖于今十有三年矣。

风药而去参、芍？宜其剧矣。仲景云∶大法夏宜汗，以阳气在外也。春月阳尚稚，初出地下，大汗之，使卫气

缪仲淳治顾仲恭，心肾不交，先因失意久郁，及平日劳心，致心血耗散。去岁十月晨起，尚未离床，忽左
足五指麻冷，倏已至膝，便不省人事，良久而苏，乍醒乍迷，一日夜十余次。医者咸云痰厥，缪云∶纯是虚火。

王损庵治疗大理寺卿韩珠泉，患者全身麻木，无法活动。王损庵给予神效黄芪汤加减方，处方中黄芪用一两二钱，人参、白芍各六钱，其他药材分量是一剂减半。患者想要快速见效，于是将两剂药合并为一剂服用，服药十天后，症状消失。王损庵论述说元气尚未恢复，应当静养以巩固根本，之后才能外出。但患者没有听从，在盛夏时节突然出门会见朝拜的客人，劳累烦扰多日，忽然在马背上感觉要坠落，仆从将其扶回家。邀请王损庵诊治，他推辞说不治了，几天后患者去世。唉！走百里路的人，如果在九十里处停下，就不能算完成了全程，这难道不值得警惕吗？（出自《治法汇》）
张路玉治疗沈步云，辞官退休后，因为平时体质痰湿重，经常有麻木的毛病，为他开具六君子汤，服用后很有效。但他本性不喜欢吃药，入秋以来，逐渐觉得肢体活动不便。诊脉发现脉象软滑中带有微弱的迹象，仍然使用前方去掉陈皮，加入当归、巴戟天，平和调理半个月而痊愈。然而这个病症首要在于节制欲望和饮食，才能保全身体，不能单纯依赖药力。
巴慈明的妻子，产后出现眩晕心悸，神魂离散，好像失去了脏腑支撑的状态，睁开眼睛则全身麻木，像是在云雾之中，必须紧闭双眼，才感觉稍微好转，白天烦躁，夜晚安静。服用四物汤等补血药则呕吐逆气不能进食，服用干姜、附子等温热药则躁动不安。她的脉象虚大且数，重按则散乱，轻取应指。这是心火浮散的现象，因为难产受惊，痰饮乘虚侵入心包络，留伏在膈上，有入无出，导致病情绵延不断。大概是因为眼睛睁开则诸窍皆开，痰火堵塞心窍，所以神识无主；眼睛闭合则诸窍皆闭，痰火潜伏不发作，所以得以稍安。这与李东垣所说的“闭眼则阳气不行”导致的麻木截然不同。况且白天重晚上轻，明显是上焦阳位之病，给予理痰清火的药剂，各种症状逐渐平静。然而有时因为惊恐愤怒，有时因为饮食不当，病情不时复发，这是因为潜伏在膈上的痰浊，无法彻底搜刮涤除。趁发病时用独参汤送服紫雪丹，开通膈膜，然后继续服用前面的药物，调理补益半年而痊愈。
黄履素说：我四十七岁时，忽然患小指麻木软弱，时好时坏，每年夏天痊愈冬天加重。平时听说手指麻木应当预防中风，因此讲求预防的方法。有人说应该祛风化痰，这种说法完全错误。有人说应该顺气活血，认为气行则痰自消，血活则风自灭，这种说法比较接近真理。等到阅读《薛氏医案》中治疗蒋州判中满吐痰、头晕手指麻木的案例，其中说道：中满是脾气亏损；痰盛是脾气不能运化；头晕是脾气不能上升；手指麻木是脾气不能运用。于是用补中益气汤，加茯苓、半夏来补脾土，用八味地黄丸来补脾之母（肾），从而痊愈。后来被《乾坤生气方》迷惑，书中说：凡是人手指麻木软弱，三年后会有中风的疾病，可以服用搜风天麻二丸来预防，于是早晚服用，导致大便失禁，饮食不进而死。预防的道理，应当保养气血，节制饮食，戒除七情，远离房事才可以。如果服用前面的药丸来预防，恰恰是招致风邪致病的原因。读到这里感到愤懑不平，于是坚决遵守自己的方法，到现在已经十三年了。
陆养愚治疗丁慕云，患麻木，左手足不能抬起，怕风，有时自汗，服用小续命汤十剂无效。有人说是风症应当大汗解表，小续命汤中参杂了补养气血的药物，所以无效。于是加倍使用风药，减少人参、白芍等药，服用两剂后出汗如雨，反而觉得全身疼痛，游走不定，并且左手足不能抬起，昏沉厥逆，非常危险。诊脉发现阳脉弦细而数，阴脉迟涩而空。陆养愚说：这虽然看似风症，但古人说：麻木是气虚，木僵是血虚，手足不能任持是脾虚，具备这三种虚证，只宜调养气血，那么风症自然消除。小续命汤正是因为风药过量，血药太少，为什么还要加倍风药而去掉参、芍？病情加剧是必然的。仲景说：大法夏季适宜发汗，因为阳气在外。春季阳气尚稚嫩，刚从地下生出，大汗发汗，使卫气急速耗夺而失守，营血不能随之，所以遍身游走疼痛，昏沉厥逆，都是气血即将断绝的现象。急忙用大量十全大补汤，浓煎灌服，稍微苏醒；然后灸风池、百会、肩井、曲池、间使、三里六个穴位，每个穴位几壮，以防中脏的危候。从此各种症状逐渐减轻，饮食逐渐增加。只是大便常结，痞闷微热，这是汗多津液不足，所以下不去，上面就不舒服，给予润字丸五分，每天两次服用。大便仍干燥，用八物汤倍加当归，加麦冬、知母来滋润，稍佐槟榔、木香、豆仁来调气。这部分可以不必拘泥。此后每次燥结，服用润字丸五分，严重时一钱，一个多月完全痊愈。
张文叔传授木香丸、续命丹两个方子。戊辰年春天，中书左丞张仲谦，患半身不遂，麻木，太医刘子益给他服用这些药，大汗出，一剂药就痊愈了。所以记录下来。（出自《宝鉴》，罗有治疗张案的记录，在江选本中。）
李东垣治疗杜意逵，患左手右腿麻木，右手大拇指和食指也常常麻木到手腕，已经三四年了。各位医生治疗无效，求治于李东垣。李东垣说：麻木是气虚，真气虚弱，不能流通，直到填塞经络，四肢都虚，所以产生麻木不仁。给他一种药，保证三天见效。于是配制人参益气汤，服用两天后，手心便觉得热，手指中间像气胀满。到了第三天，又觉得两个手指中间像手擦过一样，旁边触碰它，说真气已经遍布了。于是在两个手指甲旁边，各用三棱针刺一下，微微见血如黍米粘许大小，则痹症自然平息了。之后再给予调理而痊愈。
缪仲淳治疗顾仲恭，心肾不交，先前因为失意久郁，加上平日劳心，导致心血耗散。去年十月早晨起床，还没下床，忽然左脚五指麻木冰冷，瞬间传到膝盖，便不省人事，很久才苏醒，忽醒忽迷，一天一夜十多次。医生们都说是痰厥，缪仲淳说是纯虚火。服用丸药一剂，今年春天身体觉得稍好。到四月后，丸药吃完了，而且房事稍多，到六月初十，偶然出门，前症复发，扶回家，很久才醒。这一天只发作一次，过了六天，下雨稍感寒气，前症又发作两次，现在两脚无力，非常怕冷，只有腹部以上不怕冷。缪仲淳说：人的五脏，各有致病的缘由，谨慎地观察它们，自然不会出错。志向意气不顺则心病，房劳不节则肾病，心肾同时生病，则阴阳将要分离，分离则大病必定发作，因为这两脏不交的缘故。治法应当清热补心，降气豁痰来治其上，益精强肾，滋阴增志来治其下，那么病根必能拔除。因为心藏神，肾藏精与志的缘故。平时应当独处旷野，与道士高士讨论，远离欲望的道之根本，穷尽性命的源头，使心境清宁，暂时离开爱欲染着，那么情念不起，真精自然坚固，阴阳互摄，而形体精神调和舒适了。汤方：贝母三钱，茯苓三钱，远志一钱五分，枣仁五钱，苏子二钱，石斛三钱，麦冬五钱，甘草炙五分，木瓜三钱，牛膝八钱，石菖蒲一钱，加入牛黄末一分，天竺黄一分，竹沥一杯，临睡前、饥饿时各服一剂。三剂后，加人参五钱，枇杷叶三片，霞天膏五钱。丸方：远志、天冬、麦冬、茯神、茯苓各六两，枣仁八两，生地八两，杜仲四两，白芍六两，甘草炙三两五钱，黄柏六两，牛膝十两，五味子六两，蜜丸。空腹及临睡时服用五六钱，用石斛汤加竹沥送下。
Wang Sun'an treated Han Zhuquan, Grand Court Censor (Dali Qing), who suffered from generalized numbness and inability to move. Wang prescribed a modified Shenxiao Huangqi Tang (Divine Efficacy Decoction of Astragalus). The formula contained Huangqi (Astragali Radix) 1 liang 2 qian, Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 6 qian each, with other herbs halved in dosage per dose. The patient desired rapid efficacy and combined two doses into one. After ten days of taking this concentrated dose, his symptoms disappeared. Wang commented that the Yuanqi (Primal Qi) had not yet recovered; it was advisable to rest quietly to consolidate the root before venturing out. The patient did not comply. In midsummer, he suddenly went out to receive visitors for court audiences, enduring fatigue and worry for several days. Suddenly, he felt as if falling off his horse and was helped home by his attendants. When invited to treat him, Wang declined, stating he would not treat the case. A few days later, the patient died. Alas! One who travels a hundred li must complete the last ten li; how can one not take this to heart? (From *Zhifa Hui*)
Zhang Luyu treated Shen Buyun, who, after resigning from office, frequently suffered from numbness due to his constitution predisposed to Phlegm. Zhang prescribed Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction), which proved effective. However, the patient disliked taking medicine. Since autumn began, he gradually felt limb immobility. Pulse diagnosis revealed a soft and slippery pulse with a faint quality. Zhang continued with the previous formula, removing Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), and adding Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) and Bajitian (Morinda Officinalis Radix). After half a month of mild regulation, he recovered. Nevertheless, this condition primarily requires moderation (in diet and activity) to preserve health; one cannot rely solely on medicinal power.
The wife of Ba Cimings suffered from vertigo and palpitations postpartum, with scattered soul and spirit, feeling as if her Zang-Fu organs were unsupported. Opening her eyes caused whole-body numbness, as if amidst clouds and mist; closing them provided slight relief. She was irritable during the day but quiet at night. Taking Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) induced vomiting and anorexia, while taking Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) caused restlessness. Her pulse was deficient, large, and rapid, scattering upon deep pressure but responding to light touch. This indicated floating and dispersing Heart Fire. Due to difficult childbirth and fright, Phlegm-Fluid invaded the Xinbaoluo (Pericardium Meridian) vacuously, lodging above the diaphragm, entering but not exiting, causing prolonged illness. Opening the eyes opens all orifices, allowing Phlegm-Fire to block the Heart orifices, leading to loss of mental mastery; closing the eyes closes the orifices, keeping Phlegm-Fire latent, thus providing slight peace. This is distinctly different from Dongyuan's description of numbness caused by Yang Qi failing to circulate when eyes are closed. Moreover, symptoms being worse by day and lighter by night clearly indicate a disease in the Upper Jiao (Yang region). Prescribing agents to regulate Phlegm and clear Fire gradually calmed the symptoms. However, due to fright/anger or dietary indiscretion, the condition recurred intermittently because the latent Phlegm above the diaphragm could not be thoroughly scavenged. During attacks, Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) was used to administer Zixue Dan (Purple Snow Pill) to open the diaphragm membrane, followed by the previous medicines. After six months of regulation and tonification, she recovered.
Huang Lusu stated: At age forty-seven, I suddenly suffered numbness and weakness in my little finger, intermittent, healing in summer and worsening in winter. Having heard that finger numbness warns of stroke, I sought preventive methods. Some advocated expelling Wind and resolving Phlegm, which is grossly erroneous. Others advocated regulating Qi and invigorating Blood, arguing that moving Qi eliminates Phlegm and moving Blood extinguishes Wind; this view was closer to truth. Later, reading *Xue Shi Yi An* (Cases of Master Xue) regarding Jiang Zhoupan's abdominal fullness, expectoration, dizziness, and finger numbness, it stated: Abdominal fullness is Spleen Qi deficiency; abundant Phlegm is Spleen Qi's failure to transport; dizziness is Spleen Qi's failure to ascend; finger numbness is Spleen Qi's failure to function. Thus, Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Middle-Boosting Qi-Enhancing Decoction) was used with Fuling (Poria) and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) to tonify Spleen Earth, and Bawei Dihuang Wan (Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) to tonify the Mother of Earth (Kidney), resulting in recovery. Later, misled by *Qiankun Shengqi Fang*, which claimed finger numbness precedes stroke by three years and advised preventive use of Soufeng Tianma Erwan (Wind-Searching Gastrodia Two Pills), I took them morning and night. This led to fecal incontinence, anorexia, and death. The principle of prevention should be nourishing Qi and Blood, moderating diet, guarding against Seven Emotions, and avoiding sexual excess. Using those pills for prevention merely attracts Wind and invites internal injury. Reading this made me indignant, so I strictly adhered to my own method, which has now lasted thirteen years.
Lu Yangyu treated Ding Muyun, who suffered from numbness, inability to raise left limbs, aversion to wind, and spontaneous sweating. Ten doses of Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction) were ineffective. Someone argued that Wind syndromes require heavy sweating; Xiao Xuming Tang failed because it mixed Wind-expelling drugs with Qi and Blood tonics. Consequently, Wind drugs were doubled, and Renshen/Baishao reduced. After two doses, profuse sweating occurred, followed by generalized wandering pain, inability to raise left limbs, lethargy, and cold extremities, a critical state. Pulse diagnosis showed Yang pulses wiry, thin, and rapid; Yin pulses slow, choppy, and empty. Lu said: Although resembling Wind syndrome, ancients stated: Numbness indicates Qi deficiency; stiffness indicates Blood deficiency; inability to bear weight indicates Spleen deficiency. With these three deficiencies, only Qi and Blood regulation is suitable; Wind will naturally resolve. Xiao Xuming Tang already had excessive Wind drugs and insufficient Blood-invigorating drugs; why double Wind drugs and remove tonics? Aggravation was inevitable. Zhongjing stated: In summer, sweating is appropriate as Yang Qi is exterior. In spring, Yang Qi is tender, just emerging underground; heavy sweating causes Wei Qi to rapidly deplete and lose control, while Ying Blood fails to follow, resulting in wandering pain, lethargy, and cold extremities—signs of impending Qi and Blood exhaustion. Urgently, a large dose of Shiquan Dabu Tang (Complete Great Tonifying Decoction) was decocted thickly and administered, leading to slight revival. Acupuncture points Fengchi (GB20), Baihui (GV20), Jianjing (GB21), Quchi (LI11), Jiashi (PC5), and Zusanli (ST36) were moxa-burned (several moxa cones each) to prevent internal organ involvement. Symptoms gradually decreased, and appetite improved. However, constipation persisted with slight chest stuffiness and heat, due to fluid depletion from sweating preventing downward movement, causing upper discomfort. Runzi Wan (Moistening Pill) 5 fen was taken twice daily. Stool remained dry, so Bayu Tang (Eight Substance Decoction) with doubled Danggui, plus Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) and Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) for moistening, assisted by Binglang (Arecae Semen) and Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) and Douren (Cardamomi Fructus) for Qi regulation. This part was optional. Thereafter, for each instance of dryness, Runzi Wan 5 fen was taken, up to 1 qian if severe. Full recovery occurred within a month.
Zhang Wenshu transmitted Muxiang Wan (Costus Pill) and Xuming Dan (Continuation of Life Pill). In the spring of Wuchen year, Zhongshu Zuocheng Zhang Zhongqian suffered from hemiplegia and numbness. Imperial Physician Liu Ziyi administered these pills. Profuse sweating ensued, and he recovered after one dose. Recorded here. (From *Baojian*, Luo You's treatment of Zhang recorded in Jiang Xuan.)
Li Dongyuan treated Du Yikui, suffering from numbness in the left hand and right leg, and right thumb and index finger extending to the wrist, for three to four years. Other physicians failed. Li said: Numbness is Qi deficiency. True Qi is weak and fails to circulate, filling the meridians; limbs are deficient, causing numbness and insensitivity. He prescribed one medicine, promising efficacy in three days. Renqi Yiqi Tang (Ginseng Qi-Enhancing Decoction) was prepared. After two days, palms felt hot, fingers felt distended with Qi. On the third day, fingers felt like they were rubbed; touching them confirmed True Qi had arrived. Three-pronged needles pricked beside the fingernails of both hands until blood appeared like millet grains; Bi syndrome ceased. Subsequent regulation led to recovery.
Miao Zhongchun treated Gu Zhonggong, with Heart-Kidney non-interaction. Previous frustration and long-term depression, plus mental overwork, depleted Heart Blood. Last October, upon waking, before leaving bed, left foot five toes suddenly became numb and cold, spreading to the knee, followed by unconsciousness. Recovery took time, with alternating consciousness and confusion occurring十余 times in a day and night. Physicians diagnosed Tan Jue (Phlegm Syncope); Miao diagnosed pure Deficient Fire. One dose of pill medicine improved him slightly in spring. By April, pills ran out, and sexual activity increased. On June 10th, going out triggered recurrence; brought home, he woke after a long time. That day once; six days later, rain and cold exposure triggered it twice more. Now legs are weak, severely afraid of cold, except above the abdomen. Miao said: Each Zang organ has specific causes of disease; careful observation ensures accuracy. Unfulfilled ambition harms the Heart; sexual excess harms the Kidney. Simultaneous Heart-Kidney disease leads to Yin-Yang separation, causing major illness due to lack of interaction. Treatment should clear heat and tonify Heart, descend Qi and resolve Phlegm above; benefit essence and strengthen Kidney, nourish Yin and boost Will below. Root cause will be eradicated. Heart houses Spirit; Kidney houses Essence and Will. One should dwell alone in wilderness, discuss with Daoists and scholars, detach from desire's root, explore life's source, keep mind peaceful, temporarily leave attachments, so thoughts cease, True Essence solidifies, Yin-Yang mutual absorption, body-spirit harmonized. Decoction: Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus) 3 qian, Fuling (Poria) 3 qian, Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix) 1.5 qian, Zaoren (Ziziphi Spinosomi Semen) 5 qian, Suzi (Perillae Fructus) 2 qian, Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis) 3 qian, Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) 5 qian, Zhigancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle) 0.5 qian, Mugua (Chaenomelis Fructus) 3 qian, Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) 8 qian, Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) 1 qian, plus Niuhuang (Bovis Calculus) 1 fen, Tianzhuhuang (Sinense Jasmati Rhizoma) 1 fen, Zhuli (Bambusae Succus) 1 cup.
