梅核气这一病症，大都是因为七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）之气郁结而形成的。有时是因为在饮食的时候，触犯恼怒，从而形成这种症状。只有妇女患此病的最多。治疗应当以开郁顺气、利膈化痰清肺为主。
加味四七汤：治疗七情之气结成痰气，感觉像梅核卡在咽喉；或者像破絮在咽喉之间，咳不出来，咽不下去；或者中脘部痞塞胀满，气机不舒畅愉快；或者痰涎壅盛，上气喘急；或者因为痰饮，恶心呕吐；这个药最妙，功效无法详尽叙述。

以上药材锉碎为一剂。加入生姜五片，水煎煮，临睡前服用。
瘿病多发生在肩颈部，瘤则随着气机凝结而成。这类疾病年数深远，逐渐增大变长，坚硬不可移动者，称为石瘿（Stone Goiter）。皮色不变者，称为肉瘿（Flesh Goiter）。筋脉显露结聚者，称为筋瘿（Sinew Goiter）。赤色脉络交错结聚者，称为血瘿（Blood Goiter）。随忧愁情绪消长变化者，称为气瘿（Qi Goiter）。这五种瘿病，不可决破切开。如果决破，则脓血崩溃，大多导致早夭且难以治疗。瘤则有六种：骨瘤、脂瘤、肉瘤、脓瘤、血瘤、筋瘤。也不可决破切开，如果决破，也难以医治。肉瘤尤其不可治疗，如果治疗则会导致死亡。只有脂瘤，破开后去除其脂粉即可痊愈。

Meiheqi (Plum-pit Qi) is generally caused by the stagnation of the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sorrow, Fear, Fright). It may also arise from being offended or angered during meals. This condition is most common among women. Treatment should primarily focus on resolving stagnation and smoothing Qi, clearing the diaphragm, transforming phlegm, and purifying the lungs.
Jiawei Sisi Tang (Modified Four-Seven Decoction): Treats phlegm-Qi formed by the knotting of Qi due to the Seven Emotions, feeling like a plum pit; or like broken cotton in the throat, unable to be coughed out or swallowed; or epigastric fullness and obstruction, with Qi not flowing smoothly and pleasantly; or excessive phlegm-saliva causing panting and急促 breathing; or nausea and vomiting due to phlegm-fluid retention. This medicine is excellent, its merits cannot be fully described.

Crush these into one dose. Add five slices of fresh ginger, decoct in water, and take before retiring for the night.
Ying (Goiter) mostly occurs on the shoulders and neck, while Liu (Tumor) forms according to Qi condensation. These conditions develop over many years, gradually enlarging and lengthening. Those that are hard and immobile are named Shiying (Stone Goiter). Those with unchanged skin color are named Rouying (Flesh Goiter). Those where sinews and vessels protrude and knot are named Jin Ying (Sinew Goiter). Those where red vessels intersect and knot are named Xueying (Blood Goiter). Those that fluctuate with sorrow and anger are named Qiying (Qi Goiter). The five types of Ying cannot be incised. Incision leads to the collapse of pus and blood, often resulting in premature death and being difficult to treat. There are six types of Liu: Guliu (Bone Tumor), Zhiliu (Lipoma), Rouliu (Sarcoma/Flesh Tumor), Nongliu (Abscess/Pus Tumor), Xueliu (Vascular Tumor), Jinliu (Sinew Tumor). These also cannot be incised; if incised, they are difficult to cure. Rouliu is particularly untreatable; treatment may cause death. Only Zhiliu heals after rupture and removal of its fatty contents.
Ying and Liu are caused by stagnation of Qi and Blood.
