(附蛤蟆瘟)
【病因】 阳明经邪热过盛,从而资助少阳相火而引发此病。湿热导致肿痛,治疗时需观察肿热位于身体的哪个部位,根据结聚情况采取相应措施,这属于时行疫病。
【治法】 黄芩(炒制)、甘草、大黄(煨制)、黍粘子(炒制)、芒硝。
若阳明经口渴,加石膏;少阳经口渴,加栝蒌根;邪在阳明经循行部位,加升麻、白芍、葛根、甘草;邪在太阳经循行部位,加羌活、防风。
蛤蟆瘟
【病因】 风热之邪。
【治法】 用解毒丸攻下。
用侧柏叶自然汁调和蚯蚓粪外敷。烧成灰外用效果极佳。
服用车前叶;或者用丁香尖、附子尖、天南星,用醋磨碎后外敷均可。五叶藤汁外敷也可以。
【脉象】 脉微涩,或出现代脉,或伏脉。脉弦滑的,说明膈间有宿食停滞;身体却不发热,这是霍乱。脉大的预后良好,脉微迟的预后不良主死,脉洪大的表示有热。
【病因】 致病之气有三种:一是火,二是风,三是湿。
邪气在上焦则呕吐,在下焦则腹泻,在中焦则既呕吐又腹泻。呕吐是因为热邪;腹泻是因为湿邪;风邪偏胜则引起动摇,所以出现转筋(肌肉痉挛)。有的因为极度口渴而大量饮水,有的因饥饿,有的因过饱,损伤了胃气,导致阴阳之气交争而不和谐。这属于急症,但不会死亡。如果是干霍乱而不能呕吐和腹泻,必定死亡。
【症状】 其表现为心腹部突然疼痛,呕吐并伴有腹泻,怕冷且发热,头痛眩晕。先心痛则先呕吐,先腹痛则先腹泻,心腹都痛,则呕吐和腹泻同时发作。严重的出现转筋,如果邪气入腹则死,否则就是吐泻。
干霍乱的症状是,忽然心腹胀满,绞痛刺痛,想吐吐不出来,想拉拉不出来,片刻之间就会死亡。用盐汤催吐效果较好。
外部有冲撞恶气所致者,病情相同但名称不同。
【治法】 五苓散用于治疗热多且饮水多的患者,关部脉洪大的,是有热,应当清热。
理中丸用于治疗寒多且不饮水、身体不热的患者。
半夏汤用于治疗霍乱引起的转筋,呕吐腹泻不止。身体疼痛不止的,适宜加用桂枝汤。
半夏曲、茯苓、陈皮、白术、薄荷、桂枝、甘草。
和解散用于治疗霍乱。这一条所述的情况,内部有积滞,外部被邪气阻滞。严重的采用吐法,使用二陈汤。
和解散由川芎、苍术、白芷、防风组成。
(Attached: Toad Plague)
[Etiology] The pathogenic heat in the Yangming channel is excessive, thereby assisting the Ministerial Fire of Shaoyang to cause this condition. Damp-heat causes swelling and pain; treatment should be based on which part of the body exhibits swelling and heat, addressing the accumulation accordingly. This is an epidemic disease.
[Treatment] Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, stir-fried), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, baked), Shuniuzi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Fructus, stir-fried), Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas).
If there is thirst due to Yangming involvement, add Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum); if due to Shaoyang involvement, add Gualougen (Trichosanthis Radix); if the pathogen follows the Yangming channel trajectory, add Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), and Gancao; if it follows the Taiyang channel trajectory, add Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix).
Toad Plague
[Etiology] Wind-heat.
[Treatment] Administer Jiedu Wan (Detoxification Pill) to purge.
Apply a paste made from fresh juice of Cebaiye (Platycladi Cacumen) mixed with earthworm feces externally. Burning it into ash for external use is also highly effective.
Take Cheqianye (Plantaginis Herba) orally; or apply a mixture of Dingxiangjian (Caryophylli Flos tip), Fuzijian (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata tip), and Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma) ground with vinegar externally. Applying juice from Wuyeteng (Tetrastigma Vitis-Idaeae Caulis) is also acceptable.
[Pulse] The pulse may be faint and choppy (Wei Se), intermittent (Dai), or deep and hidden (Fu). A string-taut and slippery pulse (Xian Hua) indicates retained food in the diaphragm; if the body is not hot, it is Huoluan (Cholera-like syndrome). A large pulse indicates survival; a faint and slow pulse indicates death; a surging pulse (Hong) indicates heat.
[Etiology] The pathogenic qi consists of three aspects: one is Fire, two is Wind, and three is Dampness.
Pathogenic qi in the Upper Jiao causes vomiting; in the Lower Jiao, diarrhea; in the Middle Jiao, both vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting is caused by Heat; diarrhea by Dampness; excess Wind causes movement, hence muscle spasms (Zhuanjin). It may also result from drinking excessively due to extreme thirst, hunger, or overeating, which damages Stomach Qi, causing Yin and Yang to contend and lose harmony. This is an acute condition but not necessarily fatal. However, Dry Huoluan, where neither vomiting nor diarrhea can occur, is fatal.
[Symptoms] The presentation includes sudden pain in the heart and abdomen, vomiting with diarrhea, aversion to cold with fever, headache, and dizziness. If heart pain precedes, vomiting occurs first; if abdominal pain precedes, diarrhea occurs first; if both heart and abdomen hurt, vomiting and diarrhea occur simultaneously. In severe cases, muscle spasms occur; if the pathogen enters the interior (abdomen deeply), it is fatal; otherwise, it presents as vomiting and diarrhea.
Dry Huoluan manifests as sudden fullness and distension in the heart and abdomen, cramping and stabbing pain, inability to vomit despite the urge, and inability to defecate despite the urge; death may occur within moments. Inducing vomiting with salt water soup is beneficial.
External exposure to malicious qi results in the same pathology but under a different name.
[Treatment] Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Powder) is used for cases with more heat and increased thirst, especially when the Guan position pulse is surging, indicating heat that requires clearing.
Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) is used for cases with more cold, no desire to drink, and no body heat.
Banxia Tang (Pinellia Decoction) is used for Huoluan with muscle spasms and unceasing vomiting and diarrhea. For those with unceasing body pain, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) should be added.
Ingredients: Banxiaqu (Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum), Fuling (Poria), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Gancao.
Hejie San (Harmonizing Decoction) is used for Huoluan. This specific pattern involves internal accumulation obstructed by external pathogenic qi. For severe cases, emesis is indicated, using Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Phlegm Decoction).
Another formulation of Hejie San contains Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), and Fangfeng.
