Amnesia is mostly caused by a deficiency of spirit and vital energy, but it can also be due to phlegm.
Dai Yuanli stated: People with amnesia start things without finishing them and speak without coherence between the beginning and end. This is considered a disease name, distinct from congenital stupidity or ignorance of human affairs.
[Appendix] The syndrome of amnesia is all caused by excessive worry and overthinking, which damages the Pericardium (Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin), leading to an unclear dwelling place for the Spirit (Shen). Consequently, one tends to forget things easily. This results from excessive mental exertion, with pathology located in the Heart and Spleen. It is also said that overthinking injures the Spleen, causing dimness during the day and memory loss. Treatment involves Gui Pi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction), requiring simultaneous regulation of the Heart and Spleen so that the Spirit becomes tranquil and intentions stable, thereby resolving the syndrome.

There is also Gout where pain is fixed in one location, with redness, swelling, and burning heat at the painful site, or high fever throughout the body; this indicates impending Wind-Toxin, and Bai Du San (Eliminate Toxin Powder) is suitable. For treating arm pain generally, use Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) added with Jiuhuang Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix fried with wine), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix).
For limb joint pain, Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) must be used; it is also suitable for dispelling Wind-Damp. For obese individuals with limb joint pain, it is mostly Wind-Damp combined with Phlegm-Fluid flowing into collaterals, so Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma) and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) are appropriate. For thin individuals with limb joint pain, it is due to Blood Deficiency, so Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) and Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) is suitable. For thin individuals with irritable temper who suffer from limb joint pain attacks, it is due to Blood-Heat, so Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Jiuhuang Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex fried with wine) is suitable. For swollen and painful joints with a slippery pulse, dryness-promoting herbs are needed, such as Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) and Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma), combined with Qi-moving herbs like Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus), and Binglang (Arecae Semen); for lower body involvement, add Hanfangji (Podophylli Emodi Rhizoma et Radix). If joints are swollen and painful with a choppy and rapid pulse, this is Blood Stasis, so Taoren (Persicae Semen), Honghua (Carthami Flos), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome), and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) to induce mild purgation are suitable. For fatigue and weakness accompanied by limb joint pain, this is Qi Deficiency with Phlegm-Fluid flowing into collaterals, so Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma), and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) are appropriate. Zhu Danxi did not have a section on limb joint pain in his original work; this text reads purely like Zhu Danxi's language, so it is recorded provisionally for experts to verify.
