书名:邵兰荪医案 作者:邵兰荪 朝代:清 章节:温热 类别:医论
遗风漏 患者感受风温之邪,出现发热、咳嗽,气息急促难以耐受,脉象弦而数,舌苔浓腻。病情不轻,治疗宜防止病势变化(元月二十九日)。
姜半夏(三钱) 莱菔子(三钱) 前胡(一钱半) 枳壳(一钱半) 光杏仁(三钱) 连翘(三钱)
焦山栀(三钱) 花粉(三钱) 霜桑叶(三钱) 象贝(三钱) 广橘红(一钱) (引药)竹肉(一丸)
共两帖。
介按语∶风温之邪首先损伤肺分,导致肺气不舒展,从而引起咳嗽、气急,脉数舌腻。治疗方法大忌使用辛温发汗散邪之法,适宜采用辛凉轻剂,肃降肺气,清解表邪。姜半夏虽然能消痰止咳,但仍宜慎用。
安昌徐 温邪尚未清除,脉象仍然洪大,午后肌肤发热,舌苔白滑,呛咳且面部浮肿,大便稀溏。治疗宜养胃、清肺以熄除邪气。
丹参(三钱) 生米仁(四钱) 银花(一钱半) 金沸草(三钱,包煎) 川贝(二钱) 茯苓(三钱) 丹皮(二钱) 通草(一钱半) 省头草(三钱) 桔梗(一钱半) 白前(一钱半)
清水煎服。三帖。
介按语∶温邪与湿热尚未清除,上冲于肺,则出现咳嗽、面浮;阴液未恢复,而湿热蕴结蓄积则导致肌热、便溏。必须先清肺热,则咳嗽自止;渗湿扶脾,则便溏自愈;佐以清营分热,则肌热亦退。
只是丹参恐怕是元参的误写。
白马山李 温邪上郁,头目不清爽,脉数,舌微黄,身体发热、肢体酸痛。治疗宜以清解为主(二月二十七日)。
淡竹叶(一钱半) 苦丁茶(一钱半) 滑石(四钱) 炒枳壳(一钱半) 焦栀子(二钱) 炒远志肉(八分) 广郁金(三钱) 炒麦芽(三钱) 甘菊(一钱半) 石菖蒲(八分) 干地龙(一钱半)
清水煎服。二帖。
介按语∶温病发出的途径自少阳经开始,热病发出的途径由阳明经开始,此病由少阳经而上郁闭清窍,则头目不爽,逐渐由阳明经而化热,故身体发热、肢体酸痛。如今以少阳、阳明同治,参用地龙、竹叶,借以清胃络之热。
遗风庞 温邪致发热,神识时而清醒时而昏乱,脉滑数,口燥,咳逆,大便闭塞。宜防止病势变化,观察正气(四月十七号/农历三月初二日)。
栝蒌皮(三钱) 石菖蒲(七分) 干地龙(一钱半) 焦栀子(三钱) 广郁金(三钱) 连翘(三钱) 枳壳(一钱半) 天花粉(一钱半) 银花(一钱半) 光杏仁(三钱) 淡竹叶(一钱半)
清水煎服。二帖。
又诊 大便稍通,热势仍未解除,脉滑数,咳逆。治疗宜以清上焦为主,不至于发生变证无需担忧(农历三月初四日)。
栝蒌皮(三钱) 淡条芩(一钱半) 前胡(一钱半) 莱菔子(二钱) 焦山栀(三钱) 广郁金(三钱) 光杏仁(三钱) 象贝(三钱) 枳壳(一钱半)
两帖。
介按语∶温邪从上受入,首先侵犯肺脏,传至阳明,胃热挟痰而逐渐逼迫心胞,导致神识时而昏乱,口燥、咳逆而大便闭塞。治疗以清热化痰,芳香宣通窍道。胃热清降则大便稍通。然而肺分之余热未清,故咳逆未止,继方再清上焦气分,才无变幻之虑。
渔庄沈(女) 月经血色尚紫,正值夹带温邪,咳嗽尤为严重,脉浮大,舌红,头疼身热。邪热已极盛于营络,宜清解消痰(杏月/农历四月十一日)。
天花粉(三钱) 象贝(三钱) 元参(三钱) 旋复花(三钱,包煎) 连翘(三钱) 甘菊(一钱半) 橘红(一钱) 光杏仁(三钱) 丹参(三钱) 白前(一钱半) 银花(一钱半) (引药)枇杷叶(三片,去毛)
三帖。
介按语∶阴虚内热则月经色紫,更感温邪,上犯于肺,致咳嗽、身热、头疼,而脉象浮大,足见气分热炽,已属明显。但两热相并,易入营分,故此方在清肺止咳之中,兼顾营热进行治疗。
安昌顾 温热病出现胡言乱语,脉促数,舌微黄,疹点隐约可见,咳逆,发热,肢体颤抖。病症属于棘手。宜防止痉厥,观察正气(四月二十四号/甲辰年农历初八日)。

一帖。
介按语∶病由肺卫而逼入营分,劫夺津液、动风,以致胡言乱语、肢体颤抖。所幸疹现且咳嗽,邪势向外透达,然而症象已属热极,故用玳瑁、紫草凉解营分,其余药物开窍豁痰,清热透邪。这确实是治疗温邪逼入营分的良方。
盛陵龙 湿温杂感,中焦格拒不通,脉涩滞,舌苔浓嫩黄,小便不利。借用小陷胸汤,防止病势变化,观察正气。(五月三号/甲辰年农历十七日)。
杜栝蒌子(一钱半) 枳实(一钱) 原滑石(四钱) 炒麦芽(三钱) 姜炒川连(八分) 生楂肉(三钱) 焦栀子(三钱) 光杏仁(三钱) 仙半夏(一钱半) 淡竹叶(一钱半) 省头草(三钱)
清水煎服。二帖。
介按语∶体内湿气素来旺盛,更感温邪,蕴伏于中焦,化痰而阻碍气化的流行,故用小陷胸汤加味,借以消除中焦之湿热以化痰。
盛陵徐 湿热温邪杂感,寒热交替发作,脉濡数,大便自行通畅,舌中心灰黄。宜防止昏蒙之变。观察正气。(五月十号/甲辰年农历二十四日)。
焦六曲(四钱) 赤苓(四钱) 原滑石(四钱) 银花(一钱半) 连翘(三钱) 大豆卷(三钱) 防己(一钱半) 石菖蒲(五分) 仙半夏(一钱半) 陈皮(一钱半) 淡黄芩(一钱半)
清水煎服。二帖。
介按语∶湿热凝滞,大便自行通畅,感受温邪,寒热交替发作,最怕湿阻气机,挟痰而上蒙清窍,变现为神识昏乱。此症既不能发汗解表,又不能攻下,故治法以宣通窍道而清湿热为首要。
道墟陶 湿温杂感,烦热口燥,身体发出疹斑,神识时而清醒时而昏乱,脉数舌黄。清窍失聪,病症属于棘手。宜防止厥闭,观察正气。(五月二十三号/乙巳年农历初七日)。
焦栀子(三钱) 贯众(二钱) 银花(二钱) 牛蒡子(一钱半) 淡豆豉(三钱) 蝉衣(一钱半) 连翘
先服用牛黄清心丸一粒,一帖。
介按语∶湿热相互蒸腾,先阻滞气分,津液被灼烧,未能上升,是以烦热口燥,日久不解,邪热无处发泄,逐渐走入营分,则神昏谵语,上蒙清窍,则耳聋无闻。幸喜肺胃之邪,逐渐从疹斑而透现。然而病势已在险途,故治疗以芳香通神,淡渗宣窍,使秽浊湿邪由此分消。
盛陵蒋 热入血室,疹斑稍现,舌黄滑,脘部闷胀,大便泻痢,微热。形势处于重险,宜清解,防止厥证。(六月二十一号/丙午年农历初七日)。

三帖。
介按语∶伏热由阳明陷入血室,血下行则阳热上浮,而神识不清,语言谵妄。张仲景多次有针刺期门的教诲,因为期门是肝经的募穴,泻其热而通其经,则汗得遍身而蓄热外泄,下血自止而谵语自止。此案治法,虽不遵循小柴胡汤的成例,而完全遵守仲景“无犯胃气及上二焦”的戒律,仍以清热利窍,使郁热外泄而疹斑透现,确是良法。但肝经之热,恐怕难速解,故防劫夺津液、动风而变为痉厥。幸而其郁热逐渐由大肠而自寻出路,治疗以清解而斑更现,泻痢好转,身热亦退,初二两方的着力之处,显然可见。只是初方既然用了碧玉散,则滑石可以去掉。第三方若再注重清解,才免久咳之累。
西庄易 血室已清,脉数,气口脉滑,呛咳头晕,身热未退,舌黄尖红,腰疼肢体酸痛。还防病势变幻,观察正气。(五月二十号/乙巳年农历初四日)。

介按语∶冬温犯肺,不得外解,最易逆传心胞,而现神识昏乱。兹因温邪激动肝阳,灼伤津液成痰,阻滞气机而致咳逆吸促,右胁刺痛。治疗以辛凉之剂,整肃肺胃之痰,而解气分之热。然而到了第二次诊治,神色仍然昏乱,病势已属棘手矣。
[Background Information]
Book: Shao Lansun's Medical Cases Author: Shao Lansun Dynasty: Qing Chapter: Warm-Heat Category: Medical Discussion
Yifeng Lou [Patient Surname] The patient contracted Wind-Warmth (Feng Wen, a warm-pathogen disease characterized by wind and heat), presenting with fever, cough, and severe shortness of breath that is intolerable. The pulse is wiry and rapid, and the tongue coating is thick and greasy. The condition is not mild; treatment should aim to prevent pathological changes. (January 29th)
Pinellia Tuber (Ban Xia, 3 qian) Radish Seed (Lai Fu Zi, 3 qian) Peucedanum Root (Qian Hu, 1.5 qian) Aurantium Fruit (Zhi Ke, 1.5 qian) Apricot Seed (Xing Ren, 3 qian) Forsythia Fruit (Lian Qiao, 3 qian)
Gardenia Fruit (Shan Zhi, 3 qian) Trichosanthes Root (Hua Fen, 3 qian) Mulberry Leaf (Sang Ye, 3 qian) Fritillaria Bulb (Xiang Bei, 3 qian) Tangerine Peel (Ju Hong, 1 qian) (Guiding herb) Bamboo Concretion (Zhu Rou, 1 pill)
Two doses.
Commentary by Jie: Wind-Warmth first injures the Lung sector, causing Lung Qi stagnation, leading to cough and shortness of breath, with a rapid pulse and greasy tongue coating. The treatment method strictly forbids acrid-warm diaphoretic dispersal; instead, it is appropriate to use a light acrid-cool formula to descend Lung Qi and clear/resolve exterior pathogens. Although Pinellia Tuber can eliminate phlegm and stop cough, it should still be used with caution.
Anchang Xu [Patient Surname] Warm pathogens remain uncleared; the pulse is still large. There is afternoon skin fever, white slippery tongue coating, harsh cough with facial edema, and loose stools. Treatment should nourish the Stomach, clear the Lungs, and extinguish pathogens.
Salvia Root (Dan Shen, 3 qian) Coix Seed (Yi Yi Ren, 4 qian) Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua, 1.5 qian) Antennaria Herb (Jin Fei Cao, 3 qian, wrapped for decoction) Fritillaria Bulb (Chuan Bei, 2 qian) Poria (Fu Ling, 3 qian) Moutan Bark (Dan Pi, 2 qian) Tongcao Stem (Tong Cao, 1.5 qian)
Acorus Herb (Sheng Tou Cao, 3 qian) Platycodon Root (Jie Geng, 1.5 qian) Cynanchum Root (Bai Qian, 1.5 qian)
Decoct in clear water. Three doses.
Commentary by Jie: Warm pathogens and damp-heat are not yet cleared. Rising to the Lungs causes cough and facial edema. Since Yin fluids have not recovered, and damp-heat accumulates, there is skin fever and loose stools. One must first clear Lung heat so that cough stops naturally; leaching out dampness and supporting the Spleen will cure loose stools naturally; assisting with clearing Ying-level heat will make skin fever recede.
It is suspected that Dan Shen (Salvia Root) is a miswriting of Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root).
Baimashan Li [Patient Surname] Warm pathogens are constrained upward, causing unclear head and eyes, rapid pulse, slightly yellow tongue, body fever, and limb soreness. Treatment should primarily focus on clearing and resolving. (February 27th)
Bamboo Leaf (Zhu Ye, 1.5 qian) Tea Leaf (Ku Ding Cha, 1.5 qian) Talcum (Hua Shi, 4 qian) Fried Aurantium Fruit (Chao Zhi Ke, 1.5 qian) Fried Gardenia Fruit (Jiao Zhi Zi, 2 qian) Fried Polygala Root (Chao Yuan Zhi, 0.8 fen) Curcuma Tuber (Yu Jin, 3 qian) Fried Barley Sprout (Chao Mai Ya, 3 qian) Chrysanthemum Flower (Gan Ju, 1.5 qian) Acorus Rhizome (Shi Chang Pu, 0.8 fen) Earthworm (Di Long, 1.5 qian)
Decoct in clear water. Two doses.
Commentary by Jie: The pathway for Warm Disease emergence starts from the Shaoyang channel, while the pathway for Heat Disease emergence is via the Yangming channel. This disease arises from Shaoyang constraining upward the clear orifices, causing unclear head and eyes, and gradually transforms into heat via Yangming, hence body fever and limb soreness. Now treating both Shaoyang and Yangming simultaneously, incorporating Earthworm and Bamboo Leaf to borrow their ability to clear Stomach collateral heat.
Yifeng Pang [Patient Surname] Warm pathogens cause fever; consciousness fluctuates between clarity and confusion; pulse is slippery and rapid; dry mouth; cough and counterflow qi; constipation. Prevent pathological changes and observe healthy Qi. (April 17th / Lunar March 2nd)

Two doses.
Commentary by Jie: Warm pathogens enter from above, first attacking the Lungs, then transmitting to Yangming. Stomach heat combined with phlegm gradually presses against the Pericardium, causing fluctuating consciousness, dry mouth, cough, and constipation. Treatment uses clearing heat and transforming phlegm, aromatic opening of orifices. When Stomach heat descends, bowels move slightly. However, residual heat in the Lung sector remains uncleaned, so cough persists. Subsequent formulas continue to clear Upper Jiao Qi level heat to avoid further changes.
Yuzhuang Shen [Female Patient] Menstrual blood color is still purplish, coinciding with contraction of warm pathogens; cough is particularly severe; pulse is floating and large; red tongue; headache and body fever. Pathogenic heat has reached extreme levels in the Ying collaterals; treatment should clear heat and resolve phlegm. (Lunar April 11th)
Trichosanthes Root (Tian Hua Fen, 3 qian) Fritillaria Bulb (Xiang Bei, 3 qian) Scrophularia Root (Xuan Shen, 3 qian) Inula Flower (Xuan Fu Hua, 3 qian, wrapped) Forsythia Fruit (Lian Qiao, 3 qian) Chrysanthemum Flower (Gan Ju, 1.5 qian) Tangerine Peel (Ju Hong, 1 qian) Apricot Seed (Xing Ren, 3 qian) Salvia Root (Dan Shen, 3 qian) Cynanchum Root (Bai Qian, 1.5 qian) Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua, 1.5 qian) (Guiding herb) Loquat Leaf (Pi Pa Ye, 3 slices, de-hairy)
Three doses.
Commentary by Jie: Yin deficiency with internal heat results in purplish menstrual blood. Contracting warm pathogens additionally attacks the Lungs, causing severe cough, body fever, and headache, with a floating-large pulse, indicating blazing Qi-level heat. However, with two types of heat combining, it easily enters the Ying level. Thus, this formula balances clearing Lung heat/stopping cough with addressing Ying heat.
Anchang Gu [Patient Surname] Warm-heat disease presents with delirious speech; pulse is hurried and rapid; slightly yellow tongue; faint rash points; cough and counterflow qi; fever; limb tremors. The condition is tricky. Prevent convulsions and syncope; observe healthy Qi. (April 24th / Jiachen Year, Lunar March 8th)

One dose.
Commentary by Jie: The disease progressed from Lung-Wei to pressing into the Ying level, consuming fluids and stirring wind, leading to delirium and limb tremors. Fortunately, the appearance of rash and cough indicates pathogenic factors moving outward. However, the symptoms indicate extreme heat, so Dai Mao and Zi Cao are used to cool and resolve Ying level heat, while other herbs open orifices, resolve phlegm, clear heat, and vent pathogens. This is indeed an excellent formula for warm pathogens pressing into the Ying level.
Shengling Long [Patient Surname] Mixed contraction of Damp-Warmth, rejection in the Middle Jiao; pulse is choppy and stagnant; tongue coating is thick, tender, and yellow; difficult urination and defecation.

Decoct in clear water. Two doses.
Commentary by Jie: Internal dampness is abundant, compounded by warm pathogens, lying dormant in the Middle Jiao. Phlegm formation obstructs the circulation of Qi transformation. Therefore, modified Xiao Xian Xiong Tang is used to eliminate Middle Jiao damp-heat and transform phlegm.
Shengling Xu [Patient Surname] Mixed contraction of Damp-Heat and Warm pathogens; alternating chills and fever; pulse is soggy and rapid; spontaneous loose stools; gray-yellow tongue center. Prevent mental clouding changes. Observe healthy Qi. (May 10th / Jiachen Year, Lunar May 24th)

Decoct in clear water. Two doses.
Commentary by Jie: Damp-heat stagnation with spontaneous loose stools, contracting warm pathogens, causing alternating chills and fever. The greatest fear is dampness obstructing Qi mechanism, carrying phlegm to cloud the clear orifices, manifesting as mental confusion. This condition cannot be treated with sweating (exterior) nor purging (interior); thus, the treatment priority is opening orifices and clearing damp-heat.
Daoxu Tao [Patient Surname] Mixed contraction of Damp-Warmth; vexing heat and dry mouth; body rash and macules; fluctuating consciousness; rapid pulse and yellow tongue. Clear orifices lose acuity; condition is tricky. Prevent syncope and closure. Observe healthy Qi. (May 23rd / Yisi Year, Lunar May 7th)
Fried Gardenia Fruit (Jiao Zhi Zi, 3 qian) Cyathula Root (Guan Zhong, 2 qian) Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua, 2 qian) Barbarceae Seed (Niu Bang Zi, 1.5 qian) Fermented Soybean (Dan Dou Chi, 3 qian) Cicada Slough (Chan Yi, 1.5 qian) Forsythia Fruit (Lian Qiao)
First take one pill of Niu Huang Qing Xin Wan, followed by one dose of the herbal decoction.
Commentary by Jie: Dampness and heat steam each other, first blocking the Qi level. Fluids are scorched and fail to rise, causing vexing heat and dry mouth. Unresolved over time, pathogenic heat has no outlet, gradually entering the Ying level, causing coma and delirium, and clouding clear orifices, causing deafness. Fortunately, Lung-Stomach pathogens gradually emerge through rash and macules. However, the condition is critical. Treatment uses aromatic spirit-penetrating and light-leaching orifice-opening methods to disperse turbid damp pathogens.
Shengling Jiang [Patient Surname] Heat entering the Blood Chamber; rash and macules slightly appearing; yellow slippery tongue; epigastric fullness; dysentery; slight fever. Situation is critical and dangerous; clear and resolve, prevent syncope. (June 21st / Bingwu Year, Lunar June 7th)

Two doses.
Second Visit: Blood chamber is cleared, dysentery improved; pulse is soggy and rapid; yellow tongue; harsh cough; lingering slight fever; white spots on chest. Primary treatment should be clearing and resolving. (June 24th / Bingwu Year, Lunar June 10th)
Bamboo Leaf (Zhu Ye, 1.5 qian) Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua, 3 qian) Acorus Herb (Sheng Tou Cao, 1.5 qian) Platycodon Root (Jie Geng, 1.5 qian) Sichuan Fritillaria (Chuan Bei, 2 qian) Red Poria (Chi Fu Ling, 4 qian) Curcuma Tuber (Yu Jin, 3 qian) Soybean Hull (Da Dou Juan, 3 qian) Bi Yu San (4 qian, bagged) Small Green Herb (Xiao Qing Cao, 1 qian) Tongcao Stem (Tong Cao, 1.5 qian)
Decoct in clear water. Two doses.
Third Visit: Dysentery cured, body heat subsided; pulse is soggy and fine; epigastric and abdominal distension; cough and counterflow qi need treatment; prevent changes. (July 4th / Bingwu Year, Lunar July 20th)
Platycodon Root (Jie Geng, 1.5 qian) Aurantium Fruit (Zhi Ke, 1.5 qian) Xinhui Tangerine Peel (Xin Hui Pi, 1.5 qian) Cynanchum Root (Bai Qian, 1.5 qian) Fritillaria Bulb (Chuan Bei, 2 qian) Red Poria (Chi Fu Ling, 4 qian) Curcuma Tuber (Yu Jin, 3 qian) Cardamom Shell (Ke Qiao, 1.5 qian) Eupatorium Leaf (Pei Lan, 1.5 qian) Tongcao Stem (Tong Cao, 1.5 qian) Grain Sprout (Gu Ya, 4 qian) (Guiding herb) Lotus Leaf (He Ye, 1 corner)
Three doses.
Commentary by Jie: Dormant heat sinks from Yangming into the Blood Chamber. As blood flows downward, Yang heat floats upward, causing unclear consciousness and delirious speech. Zhang Zhongjing frequently instructed needle-pointing at Qimen (Liver Front-Mu point). Since Qimen is the Front-Mu point of the Liver channel, draining its heat and unblocking the channel allows sweat to cover the body, releasing stored heat externally, stopping bleeding, and ending delirium. This case's treatment does not follow the Xia Chai Hu Tang example but strictly adheres to Zhongjing's warning against damaging Stomach Qi and the Upper Two Jiaos. It still focuses on clearing heat and benefiting orifices, allowing trapped heat to vent and rash to emerge, which is indeed a good method. However, Liver channel heat may not resolve quickly, so preventing fluid consumption and wind-stirring leading to convulsions is necessary. Fortunately, trapped heat gradually finds an exit via the Large Intestine. Treatment with clearing/resolving leads to more rash, improved dysentery, and subsided fever, showing the efficacy of the first two formulas. Since Bi Yu San was used in the first formula, Talcum could be removed. If the third formula emphasizes clearing/resolving more, it would avoid lingering cough.
Xizhuang Yi [Patient Surname] Blood chamber is cleared; pulse is rapid; Qi Kou pulse is slippery; harsh cough and dizziness; body heat not subsided; yellow tongue with red tip; lower back pain and limb soreness. Still guard against changes; observe healthy Qi. (May 20th / Yisi Year, Lunar May 4th)

Two doses.
Commentary by Jie: Warm pathogens transmit from Lungs to Stomach. Although exterior pathogens are resolved, interior heat continues steaming, so skin heat remains. Rising to the Lungs causes harsh cough and dizziness. Thus, treatment still focuses on descending Lung Qi and eliminating Stomach heat. Once Stomach heat is cleared, body heat and cough will cease. Due to lower back pain and limb soreness, Earthworm is added for its ability to traverse collaterals to reduce heat.
Yifeng Xu [Patient Surname] Winter-Warmth with sweating and fever; rapid pulse, right side forceful; thick yellow tongue center. Cough with shortness of breath, stabbing pain in right hypochondrium, fluctuating consciousness. Condition is critical and dangerous; prevent syncope and closure. Observe healthy Qi. (October 12th)
Earthworm (Di Long, 1.5 qian) Fritillaria Bulb (Xiang Bei, 3 qian) Winter Mulberry Leaf (Dong Sang Ye, 3 qian) Barbarceae Seed (Niu Bang Zi, 1.5 qian) Forsythia Fruit (Lian Qiao, 3 qian) Peucedanum Root (Qian Hu, 1.5 qian) Original Curcuma Tuber (Yu Jin, 3 qian) Tangerine Peel (Ju Hong, 1 qian) Apricot Seed (Xing Ren, 3 qian) Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua, 1.5 qian) Traditional Hyacinth Bean (Tian Zhu Huang, 2 qian) Heart Bamboo Leaf (Juan Xin Zhu Ye, 30 leaves)
Two doses.
Second Visit: Right hypochondrium still painful; pulse slippery and rapid; yellow tongue; coarse breathing; cough with phlegm obstruction; fluctuating consciousness; still guard against changes.
Earthworm (Di Long, 1.5 qian) Acorus Rhizome (Shi Chang Pu, 0.8 fen) Peucedanum Root (Qian Hu, 1.5 qian) Curcuma Tuber (Yu Jin, 3 qian) Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua, 3 qian) Forsythia Fruit (Lian Qiao, 3 qian) Fried Light Scutellaria Root (Chao Dan Huang Qin, 1.5 qian) Luffa Fiber (Si Gua Luo, 1.5 qian) Lai Tangerine Peel (Lai Ju Hong, 0.8 fen) Apricot Seed (Xing Ren, 3 qian) Traditional Hyacinth Bean (Tian Zhu Huang, 2 qian) Loquat Leaf (Pi Pa Ye, 3 slices, de-hairy)
Three doses.
Commentary by Jie: Winter-Warmth attacking the Lungs, unable to resolve externally, easily transmits inversely to the Pericardium, presenting with confused consciousness. Here, warm pathogens agitate Liver Yang, scorching fluids into phlegm, blocking Qi mechanism, causing cough, shortness of breath, and right hypochondriac stabbing pain. Treatment uses acrid-cool agents to regulate Lung-Stomach phlegm and resolve Qi-level heat. However, by the second visit, consciousness remains confused, and the condition is already tricky.
