痧毒上冲于心,导致头晕昏倒、闷绝于地,症状类似中暑或中风,若不及时救治会立即死亡。这是急性的痧症,如果患者尚有一丝苏醒迹象,应扶起身体进行放痧治疗;若未痊愈,需仔细诊察脉象,辨证后服药施治。如果患者完全昏迷不醒,无法扶起,必须准确辨别证候,先用药剂灌服使其苏醒,再扶起进行放痧,随后进行调理治疗。
有一位五十多岁的女性,双眼紧闭、牙关紧闭,寒冷感延伸至肩膀,但胸腹部微微温暖,六部脉象全无,偶尔突然睁眼痛苦呼叫几声,灌药也能勉强接受。如此持续三天,医生使用乌药顺气散和牛黄丸均无效。我为其针刺十指指尖,流出紫黑相间的血液,投用涤痧丸后,患者出现呻吟声,再次服药后脉象恢复。有人说是某种病症,使用其他药物后脉象伏匿,病情如初,患者家属再次来索要涤痧丸,我给予服用,患者逐渐苏醒,脉象重新出现,接着投用石氏二方、石氏一方而痊愈。
突然昏迷不醒,或者伴有痰喘、眼球上吊,形态如同小儿的“落弓症”。这种暗痧难以识别,必须仔细诊察脉象、辨别证候,并观察身体的冷热情况,以及嘴唇和舌头的润燥程度。然后进行治疗(参考丝五、丝六、丝七)。
有一人发热口渴,昏迷不醒,两眼向上翻白,六部脉象微细且伏匿,使用石氏二方、砂仁汤冷服后苏醒,扶起进行放痧,使用石氏七方,痧毒尚未清除干净,又使用丝五方加金银花、丹参、山楂而痊愈。
有一人时常身体发热、轻微口渴,喜欢喝滚烫的茶水,突然感到身体沉重昏迷,左尺脉沉细,跳动节律不齐,右寸脉浮大而中空。这是肾虚而受痧邪侵犯,属于肾水之痧,逆乱上行于肺,所以痰气壅盛而导致头晕。使用丝六方加牛膝、贝母,配合童子尿饮用,再用丝七方使其苏醒,然后扶起进行放痧。痊愈。
沉默不语,即使说话也无声响,这是由于痧气壅盛,热痰上升,阻滞气道,导致咽喉闭塞而产生热象。应当先进行放痧,仔细诊察肺、肾、脾三经的脉象,其次详细推究其他经络的情况。(参考丝八)
有一位女子,每天被继母责骂,因痧胀导致烦闷昏沉,左关脉有力,右脉沉伏,说话无声,这是伤气痧。煎煮一个陈年香圆,微冷冻后饮用,声音稍现,第二天左关脉弦长且跳动明显,这是因为愤怒伤肝,痧气仍然阻滞在肝经的缘故。针刺腿弯处三针,血流如注,又针刺头顶心、肾脏反射区、手指十余针,然后使用丝二方与丝八方加延胡索、香附,微温服用,于是痊愈。
Sha toxin rushing to the heart causes dizziness, fainting, and sudden collapse, resembling heatstroke or wind-stroke (Zhong Feng), leading to immediate death if not treated promptly. This is an acute Sha syndrome. If there is any sign of revival, the patient should be assisted to sit up for bloodletting (Fang Sha). If not cured, carefully examine the pulse, differentiate the syndrome, and administer medication. If the patient is completely unconscious and cannot be assisted to sit up, the syndrome must be accurately differentiated, and several doses of medicine should be administered via force-feeding to revive them, followed by assisting them to sit up for bloodletting, and then further regulation and treatment.
A woman over fifty years old had her eyes closed and teeth clenched, with coldness extending to the shoulders, while the chest and abdomen remained slightly warm. Her six pulses were imperceptible, yet she occasionally opened her eyes and cried out in pain for a few times. She could barely accept force-fed medicine. This condition persisted for three days. Physicians used Wuyao Shunqi San (Wu Yao Qi-Moving Powder) and Niuhuang Wan (Calculus Bovis Pill) without effect. I pricked her ten fingertips, from which purple-black blood flowed. After administering Dish Sha Wan (Sha-Cleansing Pill), she began to groan. After taking another dose, her pulse returned. Some suggested it was another syndrome; using other medicines caused the pulse to become hidden, and the illness reverted to its initial state. The family came again to request the pill. I gave it to her, and she gradually revived, her pulse reappearing. Subsequently, Shi's Formula No. 2 and Shi's Formula No. 1 were administered, leading to recovery.
Sudden coma and unconsciousness, or accompanied by phlegm-wheezing and upward deviation of the eyes, resembles the "Luo Gong" (drooping bow) syndrome in children. This hidden Sha syndrome is difficult to identify. One must carefully examine the pulse, differentiate the syndrome, observe the body's temperature (hot or cold), and assess the moisture or dryness of the lips and tongue. Then, proceed with treatment (refer to Si Formula No. 5, 6, 7).
One patient presented with fever, thirst, coma, upward deviation of the eyes, and fine, hidden six pulses. Shi's Formula No. 2 and Amomum Villosum Decoction (Sharen Tang) administered coldly revived him. He was assisted to sit up for bloodletting. Shi's Formula No. 7 was used. Since the Sha toxin was not fully cleared, Si Formula No. 5 plus Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang), Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Danshen), and Crataegi Fructus (Shanzha) was administered, resulting in recovery.
One patient often suffered from slight fever and thirst, preferring boiling hot tea. Suddenly, he felt heavy and fell into a coma. His left Chi pulse was deep and fine, with irregular rhythm; his right Cun pulse was floating and hollow (Kou). This indicates Kidney deficiency invaded by Sha toxin, specifically Kidney Water Sha, which rebels upwards to the Lung, causing excessive phlegm and qi stagnation leading to dizziness. Si Formula No. 6 plus Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix (Niuxi) and Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus (Beimu), drunk with Child's Urine (Tongbian), was used. Then, Si Formula No. 7 was administered to revive him, followed by bloodletting after assistance to sit up. Recovery ensued.
Silence without speech, or speech without sound, results from Sha qi stagnation and excessive heat-phlegm rising, obstructing the airway, causing throat closure and heat sensation. Bloodletting should be performed first. Carefully examine the pulses of the Lung, Kidney, and Spleen meridians, then meticulously investigate other meridians (refer to Si Formula No. 8).
A female patient was scolded daily by her stepmother, suffering from Sha distension, irritability, and coma. Her left Guan pulse was forceful, while the right pulses were deep and hidden. Her speech was silent. This is Qi-injuring Sha. A dried Tangerine Peel (Chen Xiangyuan) was decocted, cooled slightly, and drunk. Her voice returned slightly. The next day, her left Guan pulse became wiry, long, and active. This was due to anger injuring the Liver, leaving Sha qi obstructing the Liver meridian. Three needles were inserted into the popliteal fossa (Leg Bend), causing profuse bleeding. Over ten needles were inserted into the vertex (Dingxin), Kidney reflex area, and fingers. Then, Si Formula No. 2 combined with Si Formula No. 8 plus Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhu) and Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu) was administered lukewarm, resulting in recovery.
