有人夏季身体发冷、怕冷，身上盖着厚厚的被子，仍然发抖战栗。一位医生打算按伤寒来治疗，另一位医生认为不可行，说是中暑，使用清暑益气汤（见内外备用诸方）调理后痊愈。
（请与霍乱症参考对照。）
痧症有阴痧、阳痧、乌痧、斑痧、绞肠痧等类型；初起多半腹痛，也有并不痛，只感觉昏沉胀闷的，切忌服用姜，急用南蛇藤（草药名）煎水，兑酒服用，立刻可以起死回生，最为神效。如果……
刮痧法：选择一只光滑细口的瓷碗，另备一杯热水，加入香油一二匙，将碗口蘸取油水，使其温暖且滑润，双手握住碗，在病患背心上轻轻向下顺刮（切忌反向刮），逐渐加重力度，碗干了则再蘸油再刮，邪气随之下降，所以毒深病重者，非刮背不可。这是治疗痧症起死回生的简便良方，最灵验最稳妥。
又一方：用食盐一握，揉擦两手腕、两胁、两足心、以及心窝、背心共八处，擦出许多紫红点，渐渐觉得松快而痊愈。一切痧胀及中暑、霍乱等症，即使濒临死亡也能救活，这是第一简便良方。
又一方：取嫩车前草七根，揉软塞入鼻孔内，男性左鼻，女性右鼻。
又一方：用红纸捻查看身上，如有红斑红点名斑痧，即用灯火在斑点上烧灼，务必将斑点烧尽，以免复发。或者用食盐二斤，炒热，用青布包裹成两个包，在胸腹及背上熨烫，冷了随即更换，这种方法最妙。再用荞麦五钱，煎服。只有藿香正气丸绝对不可服用（其他项痧症可服），因为里面有陈皮、紫苏、甘草、半夏等药，是斑痧所忌讳的。
又一方：生白矾研为末，每次服用一钱，不分男女，用阴阳水调服。各项痧症、以及受暑昏晕不省人事者服用，立刻可以回生。此物能升清降浊，所以奏效如神。存心济人的人，宜随身携带，或在路途、或深夜，可当作仙丹。
A person in summer experienced coldness and aversion to cold, covered with heavy quilts, yet still shivering. One physician intended to treat it as Cold Damage (Shanghan), while another disagreed, stating it was Heatstroke (Zhongshu). After regulation with Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Boost Qi Decoction) (see Miscellaneous Prescriptions for Internal and External Use), the patient recovered.
(Refer to Cholera-like Syndrome for comparison.)
Sha Syndrome includes Yin Sha, Yang Sha, Wu Sha, Ban Sha, and Jiaochang Sha. In the early stage, abdominal pain is common; some cases do not hurt but feel dizzy, heavy, and distended. Ginger must strictly be avoided. Immediately decoct Nansheteng (Caulis Trichosanthis) [herbal name] in water, mix with wine, and ingest. This can instantly revive the dying and is extremely effective. If...
Scraping Therapy: Select a porcelain bowl with a smooth, narrow mouth. Prepare a cup of hot water, add one or two spoons of sesame oil. Dip the rim of the bowl into the oil-water mixture so that it becomes warm and slippery. Hold the bowl with both hands and gently scrape downwards along the patient's back (strictly avoid scraping upwards). Gradually increase pressure. When the bowl dries, dip it again and continue scraping. The pathogenic qi descends accordingly. Therefore, for severe cases with deep toxicity, scraping the back is indispensable. This is a simple and effective prescription for reviving patients with Sha Syndrome, being the most potent and stable method.
Another prescription: Prick the Shaoshang (LU11) and Weizhong (BL40) acupoints. The method is described under the Cholera chapter.
Another prescription: Take a handful of salt and rub it on the two wrists, two hypochondriac regions, two sole centers, the epigastrium, and the back, totaling eight areas. Rub until many purple-red spots appear. As the patient gradually feels relieved, recovery ensues. For all types of Sha distension, Heatstroke, and Cholera-like syndromes, even those near death can be saved. This is the first simple and effective prescription.
Another prescription: Take seven tender Plantago seeds/herbs (Cheqiancao), soften them by rubbing, and insert into the nostril. For males, use the left nostril; for females, the right.
Another prescription: Use red paper twists to inspect the body. If red spots are found, indicating Ban Sha, burn these spots with a lamp fire until completely consumed to prevent recurrence. Alternatively, stir-fry two jin (approx. 1 kg) of salt until hot, wrap in two blue cloth bags, and apply heat compresses to the chest, abdomen, and back. Replace when cool. This method is excellent. Additionally, decoct five qian (approx. 18.75 g) of Buckwheat (Qiaomai) and take orally. Huoxiang Zhengqi Wan (Agaricus Pill for Regulating the Middle and Rectifying the Qi) must absolutely not be taken (it may be taken for other types of Sha syndrome) because it contains Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Zisu (Perillae Folium), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), which are contraindicated for Ban Sha.
Another prescription: Grind raw Baifan (Alumen) into powder. Take one qian (approx. 3.75 g) per dose, regardless of gender, mixed with Yin-Yang Water (a mixture of boiled and unboiled water). This is effective for various Sha syndromes and fainting due to Heatstroke where consciousness is lost, instantly reviving the patient. This substance raises the clear and descends the turbid, hence its miraculous efficacy. Those intending to benefit others should carry it personally; on journeys or late at night, it serves as an elixir.
Another prescription: Urgently obtain raw Taro (Yutou, also known as Yunai) and eat it. If it is not Sha syndrome, it will taste astringent and difficult to eat. If it is Sha syndrome, it tastes delicious. Consume continuously one...
Another prescription: Take Huoxiang Zhengqi San (Agaricus Powder for Regulating the Middle and Rectifying the Qi) (see Miscellaneous Prescriptions for Internal and External Use). It is steady and effective, but absolutely contraindicated for Ban Sha syndrome.
