心痛,就是胃脘痛,虽然持续多天,不吃东西,也不会死亡。如果疼痛刚停止就吃东西,疼痛还会复发。必须服药三次之后,才能进食。疼痛剧烈的,脉象必然沉伏,应用温性药物如附子之类,不可用人参、白术。各种疼痛都不可补气。大凡心痛,必须区分新病和久病。如果明确知道是因为感受寒邪,或食用寒凉食物而致病,在初得病时,应当给予温散或温利的药物。如果说病久了就会形成郁结,久郁则会蒸腾发热,热久必生火,《原病式》中已有详细论述。如果想要进行温散温利,难道不会助火添病吗?古方中多以山栀子作为热药的向导,这样邪气容易潜伏,病情容易消退,正气容易恢复,疾病得以安宁。然而病愈之后,如果放纵口腹之欲,不改正以前的错误,疾病复发时,反而责怪医生的失误,实在令人叹息!一方用山栀子炒去皮,每次服用十五枚,浓煎汤液一口饮下,加入生姜汁使其辛辣,再煎至微沸,又加入川芎一钱,尤其奇妙。山栀子大的,或用七枚,或用九枚,必须炒黑。大概胃口有热而作痛的,非山栀子不可,必须佐以姜汁,多用川芎来开散。病发时,可用二陈汤加川芎、苍术,加倍加入炒栀子。疼痛剧烈的,加入炒干姜顺从病势,反治法用十丸,热辣姜汤送下。重症者,桂枝、麻黄、石碱各等分,姜汁调和蒸饼制成梧桐子大小的丸剂,服用五十丸,热姜汤送下。另一版本:轻症用发散法,用麻黄、桂枝之类。重症加石碱、川芎、苍术、炒山栀子去皮的,制成丸剂服用。凡是治疗此证,一定要先询问平日起居情况如何。假如心痛,有因为平日喜食热物,导致死血留滞于口部作痛,用桃仁承气汤攻下,切记。轻症用韭汁、桔梗,能开提其气,在血药中兼用。以物体按压痛处则停止的是挟虚证,用二陈汤加炒干姜调和。有虫痛者,面部有白斑,嘴唇红且能进食属虫痛,治疗用……头向下,难治。先用肉汁及糖蜜喂食,则引导虫头向上,然后用药打出。楝树根皮、槟榔、鹤虱,夏取汁饮用,冬浓煎汤,下万应丸,最好。脉象坚实不大便的,攻下之。心痛,用山栀并劫药治疗之。若又复发,前药必不效,可用玄明粉一次服用,立即停止。左手脉数主热多,脉涩主有死血;右手脉紧实主痰积,弦大必是久病。胃脘有湿而痛的,宜用小胃丹攻下。

Heart pain is actually epigastric pain. Although it may last for many days without eating, it is not fatal. If one eats immediately when the pain stops, the pain returns. One must take medicine three times before eating. In severe pain, the pulse is likely deep and hidden (Fu); use warming herbs like Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata), do not use Renshen (Ginseng Radix) or Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma). All pains should not be treated with Qi-tonifying methods. Generally, heart pain must be distinguished by newness or chronicity. If it is known that the disease was caused by cold exposure or consuming cold foods, at the beginning, use warming dispersing or warming draining herbs. It is said that prolonged illness leads to stagnation (Yu), prolonged stagnation generates heat, and prolonged heat generates fire, as detailed in *Yuan Bing Shi*. If one attempts warming dispersing/draining now, would it not aid fire and worsen the disease? Ancient formulas often use Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) as a guide for heat-clearing herbs, so that evil qi can be subdued, the disease recedes, healthy qi recovers, and the patient is safe. However, after recovery, if one indulges in taste preferences and does not correct past mistakes, and the disease recurs, blaming the doctor is lamentable! One prescription uses Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) stir-fried to remove the skin, 15 fruits per dose, decoct strongly, drink one mouthful, add fresh ginger juice to make it spicy, boil slightly, then add 1 qian of Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), which is excellent. For large Shanzhizi, use 7 or 9 fruits, must be stir-fried until black. Generally, for stomach heat causing pain, Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) is indispensable, assisted by ginger juice, and more Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) to open dispersion. When the disease flares, use Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Herb Decoction) plus Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) and Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), double the amount of stir-fried Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus). For severe pain, add stir-fried Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) to follow the pathogenic factor, treating contrary with ten pills, taken with hot spicy ginger soup. For heavy cases, Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), and Shijian (Calcium Carbonatum) in equal parts, mixed with ginger juice and steamed biscuit dough to make pills size of paulownia seeds, take 50 pills with hot ginger soup. Another version: Light cases use dispersing methods, such as Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus). Heavy cases add Shijian (Calcium Carbonatum), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and stir-fried Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) without skin, made into pills. To treat this condition, one must first ask about daily habits. For example, heart pain caused by a habit of eating hot foods, leading to fixed blood stasis causing pain, treat with Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang (Peach Kernel Magnolia Bark Decoction) to purge. Remember this. For light cases, use Jiuzhi (Allium Tuberosum Juice) and Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) to lift Qi, used alongside blood-invigorating herbs. If pressing the painful area with an object stops the pain, it involves deficiency; harmonize with Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Herb Decoction) plus stir-fried Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma). For worm pain, white spots on the face, red lips, and ability to eat indicate worms; treat by... head down, difficult to treat. First feed meat broth and sugar/honey to guide the worm head upward, then expel with medicine. Lindera root bark, Areca Seed, and Heshen (Vincetoxici Rosae Caulis) juice in summer, or strong decoction in winter, taken with Wanying Wan (Ten-Thousand-Effect Pill) is best. If the pulse is firm and there is no bowel movement, purge. For heart pain, use Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) and Jie Yao (Seizing Medicine). If it recurs, previous medicines will fail; use Xuanming Fen (Mirabilite) once to stop immediately. Left hand rapid pulse indicates excess heat, choppy pulse indicates fixed blood stasis; right hand tight/firm pulse indicates phlegm accumulation, wiry/large pulse indicates chronic disease. For dampness in the epigastrium causing pain, use Xiaowei Dan (Minor Stomach Pill) to purge.
