Wind-stroke injuring the Wei (Defensive) level presents with a floating and moderate pulse, accompanied by stiffness and pain in the head and nape, aversion to wind and cold. The disease quickly develops fever, spontaneous sweating, nasal congestion (rhonchus), and dry retching; Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is effective here.
[Note] Wind-stroke is the name of the disease. Injuring the Wei refers to wind injuring the Defensive Qi. A floating and moderate pulse refers to the pulse of wind-stroke. Headache, neck stiffness, aversion to cold and wind, fever with spontaneous sweating, nasal congestion, and dry retching refer to the syndrome of wind-stroke. "Guizhi Gong" means that Guizhi Tang functions to treat the deficiency pathogen of wind-stroke. See the Upper Chapter of Taiyang.

Cold damage injuring the Ying (Nutritive) level presents with a floating and tight pulse, accompanied by headache, body pain, aversion to wind and cold. There is no sweating and there is wheezing; fever may or may not have appeared yet, accompanied by vomiting and counterflow qi; Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) for inducing sweating is highly effective.
[Note] Cold damage is the name of the disease. Injuring the Ying refers to cold injuring the Nutritive Qi. A floating and tight pulse refers to the pulse of cold damage. Headache, body pain, aversion to cold and wind, no sweating with wheezing, either already febrile or not yet febrile, vomiting and counterflow qi refer to the syndrome of cold damage. "Mahuang Tang Fa" means that for the excess pathogen of cold damage, one should administer Mahuang Tang to induce sweating, which is most effective. See the Middle Chapter of Taiyang.

Wind-stroke presenting with a floating and tight pulse, generalized body pain, headache, fever, aversion to wind and cold, severe retching, no sweating, and irritability; Cold damage presenting with heaviness of the body that occasionally lightens, a floating and moderate pulse, vomiting and counterflow qi, no sweating with wheezing, headache, fever, aversion to wind and cold, irritability without Shaoyin syndrome, this is simultaneous disease of Ying and Wei, treated with Da Qinglong Tang (Great Blue Dragon Decoction).
[Note] Wind-stroke refers to the disease where wind injures the Wei. Headache, fever, aversion to wind and cold, dry retching are symptoms of wind-stroke. Floating and tight is the pulse of cold injuring the Ying. Body pain is the syndrome of cold injuring the Ying. Here, the disease of wind-stroke presents with the pulse and syndrome of cold damage, further complicated by exterior excess due to no sweating and internal heat causing irritability. Cold damage refers to the disease where cold injures the Ying. Heaviness of the body without pain, occasionally feeling lighter, is the syndrome of wind injuring the Wei. Floating and moderate is the pulse of wind injuring the Wei. Vomiting and counterflow qi, no sweating with wheezing, headache, fever, aversion to cold and wind are the syndrome of cold injuring the Ying. Thus, the disease of cold damage presents with the pulse and syndrome of wind-stroke, further complicated by Taiyang interior heat due to no sweating causing irritability. "Without Shaoyin syndrome" means absence of the syndrome of body heaviness and desire to sleep. Simultaneous disease of Ying and Wei refers to wind and cold simultaneously injuring both Ying and Wei. Both syndromes involve excess pathogens without sweating, therefore both are treated with Da Qinglong Tang to induce sweating. See the Lower Chapter of Taiyang.
