里疸条。)男子黄,大便自利,当与虚劳小建中汤。(方见伤寒。)
〔海〕内感伤寒,劳役形体,饮食失节,中州变寒,病生黄。非外感而得,只用建中、理中、
大建中足矣,不必用茵陈。
〔仲〕治一妇人,年六十岁,病振寒转栗,足太阳寒水也。呵欠喷嚏,足少阳胆也;口中津液,
足阳明不足也;心下急痛而疸,手少阴受寒,足少阴血滞也。身热又欲近火,热在皮肤,寒在骨
髓也。脐下恶寒,丹田有寒。浑身黄及睛黄,皆寒湿也。余症验之,知其为寒,溺黄赤而黑,
又频数者,寒湿胜也。病来身重如山,便着床枕者,阴湿盛也。其脉右手关、尺命门弦细,
按之洪而弦,弦急为寒,加之细者,北方寒水。杂以缓甚者,
湿盛出黄色。脉洪大者,心火受制也。左手又按之至骨,举手来实者,壬癸肾旺也。六脉按之俱
空虚者,下焦无阳也。用药法先宜以轻剂去其寒湿,兼退其洪大之脉,以理中加茯苓汤投之。
(按此症虽小便黄赤亦作寒治者,盖以余症及脉别之也。)
人参 白术 甘草 干姜 茯苓
水煎熟,以冰冷与之,此热因寒用。以假寒对足太阳之假热,以干姜辛热泻膀胱之真气,
故曰真对真,假对假。若不愈,当以术附汤与之。
〔罗〕阴黄治验至元丙寅六月,时雨霖霪,人多病湿疫。真定韩君祥,因劳役过度,渴饮凉茶,又
食冷物,遂病头痛,肢节亦疼,身体沉重,胸满不食。自以为外感。用通圣散二服,后添身体困
甚,方命医治之。医以百解散发其汗。越四日,以小柴胡汤二服,后加烦躁。又六日,以三乙承
气汤下之,燥渴尤甚。又投白虎加人参汤、柴胡饮之类,病愈增。又易医用黄连解毒汤、朱砂膏、
至宝丹。十七日后,病势转增,传变身目俱黄,肢体沉重,背恶寒,皮肤冷,心下痞硬,按之则
痛,眼涩不欲开,目睛不了了,懒言语,自汗,小便利,大便了而不了。命予治之,诊其脉紧细,
按之虚空,两寸脉短不及本位。此症得之因时热而多饮冷,加以寒凉药过度,助水乘心,反来侮土,
先囚其母,后簿其子。经云∶簿所不胜乘所胜也。时值霖雨,乃寒湿相合,此谓阴症发黄,予以
茵陈附子干姜汤主之。经云∶寒淫于内,治以甘热,佐以苦辛。湿淫所胜,平以苦热,以淡渗
之,以苦燥之。附子、干姜辛甘大热,散其中寒,故以为君。半夏、草蔻辛热,白术、陈皮苦甘温,
健脾燥湿,故以为臣。生姜辛温以散之,泽泻甘平以渗之,枳实苦微寒泻其痞满,茵陈微苦寒,其
气轻浮,佐以姜、附,能去肤腠间寒湿而退其黄,故为佐使也。煎服一剂,前症减半,两服悉去。
又服理中汤数服,气得平复。或难曰∶发黄皆以为热,今暑热隆盛,又以热药治之,何也?予曰∶
理当然也。成无己云∶阴症有二∶一者,始外伤寒邪,阴经受之,或因食冷物伤太阴经也;二者,
始得阳症,以寒治之,寒凉过度,变阳为阴也。今君祥因天令暑热,冷物伤脾,过服寒凉,阴
气大胜,阳气欲绝,加以阴雨,寒湿相合,发而
为黄也。仲景所谓当于寒湿中求之。李思顺云∶解之而寒凉过剂,泻之而逐寇伤君,正谓此也。

【丹溪】五种黄疸不必区分,它们都是湿热所致,就像酒曲发酵一样相似。轻症用小温中丸。重症用大温中丸。热邪偏重的,加黄芩、黄连。湿邪偏重的,用茵陈五苓散加上消食导滞的药物。如果因为湿热导致胃气受损,服用泻下药后出现大便泄利的情况,用人参(加入)茵陈、山栀、甘草。
【仲景】凡是患有黄疸病的人,只要通利小便即可;假如脉象浮,应当用发汗法解除表邪,适宜用桂枝加黄芪汤。谷疸这种病,表现为怕冷发热、不想吃东西,一吃食物就头晕目眩,心胸不安稳,时间久了身体发黄,这就是谷疸,用茵陈蒿汤主治。黄疸病,用茵陈五苓散主治。(这两个方剂在《伤寒论》中都有记载。)
【罗天益】茯苓除湿汤治疗黄疸气分有热,呕吐且口渴想喝冷水,身体和面目都发黄,小便不利,无法安稳躺卧,也不想吃东西。
白茯苓(五分) 泽泻(三分) 茵陈蒿(六分) 猪苓(三分) 黄芩(生用) 黄连 山栀 防己 白术 苍术 陈皮 青皮(各二分)
以上药物切碎,加水煎煮,空腹服用。
完颜正卿,因为公务劳役,饮食不节制,心火侵犯脾土,脾气虚弱,再加上愤怒导致气逆伤肝,心下痞塞胀满,四肢困倦乏力,身体麻木。随后传变为身体和面目都发黄,微微带青色,面色发黑,心神烦乱,心悸不安,恶心欲吐,口中产生恶臭泡沫,饮食不消化,时常排出未消化的食物,小便癃闭不通且颜色赤黑,辰时到巳时之间发热,到了傍晚停止,到了四月症状尤为严重。我诊察他的脉象浮而缓。《金匮要略》说:寸口脉浮为风邪,缓为痹证,痹证不是中风,四肢苦于烦扰,脾的颜色必定发黄,瘀热已经运行。跗阳脉紧,吃食物就头晕是伤了脾,风寒相互搏结,谷气不能消化,胃中苦涩浑浊,浊气不流通,小便不通,阴寒被其寒邪所困,热气流入膀胱,身体全部发黄,名叫谷疸。适宜服用茵陈栀子汤。
茵陈(一钱) 茯苓(五分) 山栀仁 苍术(炒) 白术(各三钱) 黄芩(生用,六分) 黄连 枳实(炒) 猪苓(去皮) 泽泻 陈皮 防己(各二分) 青皮(一分)
以上药物切碎,作为一服,用长流水煎煮,饭前温服。两服就可以痊愈。山栀、茵陈能泻除湿热从而退黄,所以作为君药。枳实苦寒,泄除心下的痞满;肺主气,现在热邪伤了肺气,所以身体麻木,用黄芩苦寒泻火补气作为臣药。二术(白术、苍术)苦甘温;青皮苦辛温,能清除胃中的湿热,泄除壅滞,养护正气。防己苦寒,能去除十二经的滞留湿气。泽泻咸平;茯苓、猪苓甘平,引导膀胱中的湿热,通利小便而消除癃闭。
【丹溪】治疗黄疸,脉虚小便赤红,这以后五个方剂主治,治疗虚证者有效。
白术(一两) 人参 猪苓 茵陈(各半两) 泽泻(七钱) 山栀(炒) 木通(三钱) 桂枝

白水煎服,同时服用保和丸十五丸、点抑青丸各十丸、温中丸二十丸。
【仲景】麻黄醇酒汤治疗黄疸。
用麻黄三两,用好清酒五升,煮取二升五合,一次性服完。冬天用酒煮,春天用水煮。酒疸或者没有热象,言语清晰,腹部胀满想吐,鼻子干燥。脉象浮的,先催吐;脉象沉弦的,先攻下。酒疸,心中热,想呕吐的,催吐就好了。(如果是阴证想呕吐的,韩氏用陈皮汤、理中汤之类。)
瓜蒂汤治疗各种黄疸。
用瓜蒂十四枚,用水一升,煮取五合,去渣一次性服完。
【《百一选方》】治疗黄疸。取藜芦放在灰里炮制,稍微变色,捣成粉末。用水送服半钱匕,如果小便不利,多次服用。
【张子和】蔡氏的一个女儿患黄疸,遍身浮肿,面目如金色,困乏无力,不想吃东西,只喜欢吃生东西、灰烬之类的东西。
先用苦剂蒸饼做成丸药,吐出痰液一碗;又用舟车丸、通经散,泻下五六行像墨汁一样的东西;再用导饮丸磨碎消散积食和气滞。没过几天就安好如初。
李七老患涌水症,面黄气喘,双脚都肿,按压凹陷随即弹起,行走时肚子里有水声,常想喝水,不能睡卧。戴人让他先涌吐去痰并使其出汗;接着用舟车丸、浚川散泻下;用益肾散再次泻下;又用分阴阳、利水道的药剂再次泻下,痛苦的症状都痊愈了。
上面提到脉浮且腹部不和的,用催吐法。
【仲景】治疗酒疸。心中懊恼,或者热痛,用栀子大黄汤主治。
山栀(十四枚) 大黄(二两) 枳实(五枚) 豆豉(一升)
以上四味药,用水三升,煎取二升,温服分三次。
黄疸,腹部胀满,小便不利且赤红,自汗出。这是表气和里实,应当攻下,宜用大黄硝石汤主治。
大黄 黄柏 硝石(各四两) 栀子(十五枚)
水煎快熟时,纳入硝石一次性服完。
老师说:患黄疸病,发热烦躁气喘,胸满口燥的,是因为发病时,用火法强行发汗,两热相合所致。然而黄疸都是从湿得来的,全身都发热,面黄肚热,热在体内,应当攻下。
【罗天益】黄连散治疗黄疸,大小便秘涩壅热,屡试有效。
黄连(二两) 大黄(醋拌,炒,二两) 黄芩 甘草(炙,各一两)
以上制成极细末。饭后温水调下二钱,每天三次。先用瓜蒂散搐鼻,取下黄水,然后服用此药。(瓜蒂散见后面的杂方条。)
【孙思邈】治疗黄疸,皮肤黄,眼睛赤金色,小便赤。取秦艽五两,牛乳三升,煮取一升,去渣,纳入芒硝一两服用。(萧炳说:秦艽治疗酒疸。)
【张子和】安喜赵君玉患黄疸,遍身发黄,去请教医生,众医都说:这是阳明症。你们和麻知几都受训于张戴人,是商量着要吃大黄的人,难以与他谈论病情。君玉不高兴回家,自己揣测没有其他病,于是取三花神佑丸八十粒服用,没有动静。君玉于是自己领悟说:我的湿热太盛了,这个药还不动。用舟车丸、浚川散服用,大下结粪一斗,一夜之间黄色消退。君玉因此更加相信戴人的医术。
上面提到脉沉且腹部不和的,用攻下法。
【仲景】各种黄疸,腹痛而呕吐的,适宜用小柴胡汤。(方剂见《伤寒论》。)
【孙思邈】治疗黄疸。用柴胡一两去苗,甘草一分细锉,作为一剂。用水一碗,白茅根一把,同煎至七分,去渣,不拘时间服用。
各种黄疸,小便不利为里实,适宜利小便,或者攻下。无汗为表实,适宜发汗,或者催吐。(治法并见表里疸条。)男子黄,大便自利,应当给予虚劳小建中汤。(方剂见《伤寒论》。)
【海藏】内感伤寒,劳役形体,饮食失节,中州变寒,病生黄疸。这不是外感得来的,只用建中汤、理中汤、大建中汤足够了,不必用茵陈。
【仲景】治疗一妇人,六十岁,病发振寒战栗,这是足太阳寒水之病。呵欠喷嚏,这是足少阳胆之病;口中津液不足,这是足阳明不足;心下急痛而发黄,这是手少阴受寒,足少阴血滞;身体热又想靠近火,这是热在皮肤,寒在骨髓;脐下恶寒,丹田有寒。浑身黄及眼睛黄,都是寒湿。其余症状验证,知道它是寒证,溺黄赤而黑,又频数的,是寒湿胜。病来身体重如山,便着床枕的,是阴湿盛。其脉右手关、尺命门弦细,按之洪而弦,弦急为寒,加之细的,是北方寒水。杂以缓甚的,湿盛出黄色。脉洪大的,是心火受制。左手又按之至骨,举手来实的,是壬癸肾旺。六脉按之俱空虚的,是下焦无阳。用药法先适宜用轻剂去其寒湿,兼退其洪大之脉,用理中加茯苓汤投之。(按:此症虽小便黄赤也作寒治,是因为根据其余症状及脉象辨别出来的。)
人参 白术 甘草 干姜 茯苓
水煎熟,用冰冷的方式与之(指药液冷却或配合寒性意念),这是热因寒用。以假寒对足太阳之假热,以干姜辛热泻膀胱之真气,所以说真对真,假对假。如果不愈,当用术附汤与之。
【罗天益】阴黄治验至元丙寅六月,当时雨水连绵淫溢,许多人患湿疫。真定韩君祥,因为劳役过度,渴饮凉茶,又吃冷物,于是病头痛,肢节也疼,身体沉重,胸满不食。自以为外感。用通圣散二服,后来添身体困倦更甚,才命令医治。医生用百解散发其汗。过了四天,用小柴胡汤二服,后来加烦躁。又过六天,用三乙承气汤下之,燥渴尤其严重。又投白虎加人参汤、柴胡饮之类,病更增加。又换医生用黄连解毒汤、朱砂膏、至宝丹。十七日后,病势转增,传变身目俱黄,肢体沉重,背恶寒,皮肤冷,心下痞硬,按之则痛,眼涩不欲开,目睛不了了,懒言语,自汗,小便利,大便了而不了。命令我治,诊其脉紧细,按之虚空,两寸脉短不及本位。此症得之因为时令热而多饮冷,加以寒凉药过度,助水乘心,反来侮土,先囚其母,后簿其子。经云:薄所不胜乘所胜也。时值霖雨,乃寒湿相合,这叫阴症发黄,我用茵陈附子干姜汤主治。经云:寒淫于内,治以甘热,佐以苦辛。湿淫所胜,平以苦热,以淡渗之,以苦燥之。附子、干姜辛甘大热,散其中寒,所以作为君药。半夏、草蔻辛热,白术、陈皮苦甘温,健脾燥湿,所以作为臣药。生姜辛温以散之,泽泻甘平以渗之,枳实苦微寒泻其痞满,茵陈微苦寒,其气轻浮,佐以姜、附,能去肤腠间寒湿而退其黄,所以作为佐使。煎服一剂,前症减半,两服悉去。又服理中汤数服,气得平复。有人问难说:发黄都认为是热,现在暑热隆盛,又以热药治之,为什么呢?我说:理当然也。成无己说:阴症有二:一者,始外伤寒邪,阴经受之,或因食冷物伤太阴经也;二者,始得阳症,以寒治之,寒凉过度,变阳为阴也。今君祥因为天令暑热,冷物伤脾,过服寒凉,阴气大胜,阳气欲绝,加以阴雨,寒湿相合,发而为黄也。仲景所谓当于寒湿中求之。李思顺说:解之而寒凉过剂,泻之而逐寇伤君,正谓此也。圣贤之制,岂敢越哉。

[Danxi] The five types of jaundice need not be distinguished; they are all caused by damp-heat, similar to the fermentation of yeast. For mild cases, use Xiaowenzhong Wan (Minor Warming Middle Pill). For severe cases, use Dawenzhong Wan (Major Warming Middle Pill). If heat is predominant, add Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Lianlian (Coptidis Rhizoma). If dampness is predominant, use Yinchen Wuling San (Artemisiae Scopariae and Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction) combined with herbs for food stagnation. If damp-heat damages stomach qi, and purgatives cause diarrhea, use Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Yinchen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma).
[Zhongjing] In all cases of jaundice, promoting urination is the primary treatment. If the pulse is floating, release the exterior through sweating; Guizhi Jia Huangqi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Astragalus) is appropriate. Gu Dan (Grain Jaundice) presents with aversion to cold, fever, anorexia, dizziness upon eating, and mental unease; if it persists and causes yellowing, it is Gu Dan, treated with Yinchenshao Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae and Rhubarb Decoction). For general jaundice, Yinchens Wuling San (Artemisiae Scopariae and Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction) is indicated. (Both formulas are found in Shanghan Lun.)
[Luo Tianyi] Fuling Chushi Tang (Poria Decoction for Removing Dampness) treats jaundice with qi-heat, vomiting, thirst with desire for cold drinks, yellowing of the body and face, difficult urination, inability to lie down comfortably, and lack of appetite.
Baifuling (Poria) (5 fen), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) (3 fen), Yinchenshao (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba) (6 fen), Zhuling (Polyporus) (3 fen), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, raw), Lianlian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) (2 fen each).
Chop the herbs, decoct in water, and take on an empty stomach.
Wanyan Zhengqing, due to official duties and overwork, irregular diet, heart fire invading the spleen, and spleen qi deficiency, further injured by anger causing qi rebellion damaging the liver, developed epigastric fullness and stuffiness, fatigue in the four limbs, and body numbness. This progressed to yellowing of the body and eyes, slightly greenish, dark complexion, mental restlessness, palpitations, nausea with foul foam in the mouth, indigestion, passage of undigested food, oliguria with dark red-black urine, fever between Chen and Si hours (7-11 AM) resolving at dusk, worsening in April. His pulse was floating and moderate. The *Jingui Yaolue* states: "Floating pulse at Cun indicates wind, moderate pulse indicates Bi syndrome; Bi is not wind-stroke, but limbs suffer from vexation, spleen color turns yellow, stasis-heat has moved." Tight pulse at Fuyang with dizziness after eating indicates spleen injury; wind-cold combusting, grain qi fails to digest, stomach becomes turbid, turbid qi does not flow, urination stops, yin is affected by cold, heat flows into the bladder, body turns yellow, named Gu Dan. Treat with Yinchenshizi Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae and Gardeniae Decoction).
Yinchen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba) (1 qian), Fuling (Poria) (5 fen), Shanzhiren (Gardeniae Fructus), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, stir-fried), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (3 qian each), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, raw, 6 fen), Lianlian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange Fruit, stir-fried), Zhuling (Polyporus), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix) (2 fen each), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) (1 fen).
Chop, decoct once in long-flowing water, take warm before meals. Two doses will cure. Shanzhi and Yinchen clear damp-heat and resolve jaundice, serving as Sovereign herbs. Zhishi is bitter and cold, draining epigastric fullness; Lung governs Qi, heat damaged Qi causing numbness, so Huangqin clears fire and tonifies Qi as Minister. Ershu (Baizhu and Cangzhu) are bitter, sweet, and warm; Qingpi is bitter, pungent, and warm, clearing stomach damp-heat, draining stagnation, and nourishing righteous Qi. Fangji is bitter and cold, removing stagnant dampness from the twelve meridians. Zexie is salty and neutral; Fuling and Zhuling are sweet and neutral, guiding damp-heat from the bladder, promoting urination, and relieving oliguria.
[Danxi] To treat jaundice with deficient pulse and red urine, these five formulas are indicated; they are effective for deficiency patterns.

*[Zhongjing]* For various jaundices, use half a jin of pig fat and three pieces of tangled hair the size of a chicken egg. Boil the hair in the fat until dissolved, divide into two doses. The pathogen exits via urination.
[Li Gao] Shendan Tang (Kidney Jaundice Decoction) treats Kidney Jaundice with yellow eyes, golden skin, and red, difficult urination.
Shengmagen (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Qianghuogen (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) (1 qian), Fangfengen (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Duhuogen (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix) (0.5 qian each), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (1 qian), Zhuling (Polyporus) (1 fen), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) (3 fen), Bai Fuling (Poria), Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) (0.5 qian), Gancaogen (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (3 fen), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) (2 fen), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata) (6 fen each).

[Zhongjing] Guizhi Jia Huangqi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Astragalus) treats jaundice with floating pulse and harmonious abdomen; sweating is appropriate. If there is abdominal fullness, desire to vomit, and mental vexation without harmony, induce vomiting; do not sweat.
Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (3 liang each), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (2 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) (3 liang), Dazao (Zizyphi Fructus) (12 pieces), Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (2 liang).
Decoct in white water, take hot. Drink hot porridge shortly after to assist the medicine's power; aim for slight sweating. If no sweat, take again.
[Danxi] Treating a 20-year-old who contracted jaundice from labor and rain exposure. Symptoms: sore legs, palpitations, bitter taste, weakness, yellow urine, floating and rapid pulse.
The disease is in the exterior; release the exterior.
Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (3 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (1 qian each), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Suye (Perillae Folium), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis) (5 fen), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus, stir-fried, 2 pieces), Gancaoshao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma tip) (some).
Decoct in white water. Take together with Baohe Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill) 15 pills, Dian Yiqing Wan (Suppress Green Pill) 10 pills, and Wenzhong Wan (Warm Middle Pill) 20 pills.
[Zhongjing] Mahuang Chunjiu Tang (Ephedra and Mellow Wine Decoction) treats jaundice.
Use Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) 3 liang, boil in 5 sheng of good clear wine to obtain 2.5 sheng, take all at once. In winter, boil with wine; in spring, boil with water. Jiudan (Wine Jaundice) may have no heat, clear speech, abdominal fullness, desire to vomit, dry nose. If pulse is floating, vomit first; if sinking and string-taut, purge first. For Jiudan with heart heat and desire to vomit, vomiting cures it. (For Yin pattern with desire to vomit, Han Shi uses Chenpi Tang or Lizhong Tang.)
Gudai Tang (Melon Sprout Decoction) treats all jaundices.
Use Gudai (Cucumeritis Fructus) 14 pieces, boil in 1 sheng water to obtain 5 he, remove dregs, take at once.
*[Bai Yi Xuan Fang]* To treat jaundice. Roast Lilu (Veratrum nigrum) in ashes until slightly discolored, grind to powder. Take half a qian bi with water. If urination is difficult, take multiple doses.
[Zi He] Cai's daughter had jaundice with generalized edema, golden face and eyes, fatigue, anorexia, craving raw foods and ash.
First, use bitter emetics made from steamed dough balls to vomit one bowl of phlegm; then use Zhouche Wan (Boat Vehicle Pill) and Tongjing San (Unblocking Meridians Powder) to purge five to seven motions of black stool-like matter; then use Daoyin Wan (Guiding Drink Pill) to grind away food stagnation and qi constraint. Within a few days, she recovered completely.
Li Qilao had Yongshui Syndrome (Surging Water Syndrome): yellow face, asthma, swollen feet that pit and rebound, gurgling sound when walking, constant thirst, inability to sleep. Dai Ren induced vomiting to remove phlegm and sweating; then used Zhouche Wan and Xunchuan San to purge; then Yishen San to purge again; then agents to separate Yin/Yang and promote water pathways to purge again. All suffering ceased.
Above, if pulse is floating and abdomen is unharmonious, use vomiting.
[Zhongjing] To treat Jiudan (Wine Jaundice): mental vexation or heat pain, treat with Zhizi Dahuang Tang (Gardeniae and Rhubarb Decoction).
Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus) (14 pieces), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (2 liang), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange Fruit) (5 pieces), Douchi (Fermented Soybean) (1 sheng).
Four ingredients, boil in 3 sheng water to obtain 2 sheng, take warm in three doses.
Jaundice with abdominal fullness, difficult and red urination, spontaneous sweating. This is exterior harmony and interior excess; purge it. Use Dahuang Xiaoshi Tang (Rhubarb and Niter Decoction).
Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Xiaoshi (Natrii Sulfas) (4 liang each), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) (15 pieces).
Decoct in water; near completion, add Xiaoshi and take at once.
The Master said: Jaundice with fever, vexation, panting, chest fullness, and dry mouth results from using fire methods to force sweating during onset, combining two heats. However, jaundice arises from dampness; whole-body heat, yellow face and belly heat indicate interior heat, which must be purged.
[Luo Tianyi] Huanglian San (Coptis Powder) treats jaundice with constipation and internal heat obstruction; highly effective.
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) (2 liang), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, vinegar-mixed, stir-fried, 2 liang), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, 1 liang each).
Grind to fine powder. Take 2 qian with warm water after meals, three times daily. First, use Gudai San (Melon Sprout Powder) insufflated into nose to drain yellow fluid, then take this medicine. (Gudai San is in Miscellaneous Formulas.)
[Sun Simiao] To treat jaundice with yellow skin, golden-red eyes, and red urine. Use Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix) 5 liang, cow milk 3 sheng, boil to 1 sheng, remove dregs, add Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) 1 liang and take. (Xiao Bing says: Qinjiao treats Jiudan.)
[Zi He] Zhao Junyu of Anxi had jaundice with generalized yellowing. Doctors claimed it was Yangming pattern. You and Mazhi Ji studied under Zhang Dai Ren and discuss taking Dahuang; hard to discuss illness with you. Junyu returned displeased, suspected no other illness, took Sanhua Shenyao Wan (Three-Flower Divine Protection Pill) 80 pills, no effect. He realized his damp-heat was severe; even this pill failed. He took Zhouche Wan and Xunchuan San, purging one dou of hardened stool, yellow resolved overnight. He trusted Dai Ren's skill more.
Above, if pulse is sinking and abdomen is unharmonious, use purging.
[Zhongjing] For all jaundices with abdominal pain and vomiting, use Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). (Formula in Shanghan Lun.)
[Sun Simiao] To treat jaundice. Use Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) 1 liang (remove sprouts), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 1 fen (fine cut), as one dose. Boil in one bowl of water with one handful of Baimaogen (Imperatae Rhizoma) to 70%, remove dregs, take anytime.
For all jaundices, difficult urination indicates interior excess; promote urination or purge. No sweating indicates exterior excess; sweat or vomit. (Methods see Table/Interior Jaundice sections.) For men with yellowing and spontaneous loose stools, give Xujianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) for deficiency consumption. (Formula in Shanghan Lun.)
[Hai Zang] Internal contraction of cold-heat, physical labor, irregular diet, middle jiao turning cold, generates jaundice. Not external contraction; only Jianzhong Tang, Lizhong Tang, or Dajianzhong Tang are sufficient; Yinchen is unnecessary.
[Zhongjing] Treating a 60-year-old woman with chills and tremors (Foot Taiyang Cold Water); yawning/sneezing (Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder); insufficient saliva (Foot Yangming deficiency); epigastric pain and jaundice (Hand Shaoyin cold, Foot Shaoyin blood stasis); body heat seeking fire (heat in skin, cold in bone); umbilical cold (Dantian cold); generalized and eye yellowing (cold-damp). Other symptoms confirm cold; dark red-black frequent urination confirms cold-damp excess. Heavy body like mountain, bed-bound indicates Yin-damp excess. Pulse: Right Guan/C/Mingmen string-taut and fine, pressing reveals surging/string-taut; string-taut/tight indicates cold, fine indicates Northern Cold Water. Mixed with excessive moderate indicates dampness producing yellow. Surging pulse indicates Heart Fire constrained. Left hand pressing to bone, returning solid indicates Ren/Gui Kidney prosperity. Six pulses void when pressed indicate Lower Jiao Yang deficiency. Treatment: Light agents to remove cold-damp, reduce surging pulse. Use Lizhong Jia Fuling Tang (Poria Decoction added to Lizhong Tang). (Note: Though urine is red, treat as cold based on other signs/pulse.)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria).
Decoct, serve cold ("Heat by Cold" method). Counter Taiyang false heat with false cold; Ganjiang pungent-hot drains Bladder true qi. True matches true, false matches false. If ineffective, use Shufu Tang (Atractylodes and Aconite Decoction).
[Luo Tianyi] Yin Jaundice Case Study: June, Bingyin year. Continuous rain, damp epidemic. Han Junxiang of Zhending, overworked, drank cold tea, ate cold food. Headache, limb pain, heavy body, chest fullness, anorexia. Self-diagnosed external contraction. Used Tongsheng San twice, worsened. Doctor used Baijiesan to sweat. Four days later, Xiaochaihu Tang twice, added irritability. Six days later, Sanyi Chengqi Tang purged, extreme dry thirst. Added Baihu Jia Renshen Tang, Chaihu Yin, condition worsened. Changed doctor: Huanglian Jiedu Tang, Zhusha Gao, Zhibao Dan. After 17 days, condition worsened, developed yellow eyes/body, heavy limbs, back aversion to cold, cold skin, epigastric hardness/pain, gritty eyes, reluctance to speak, spontaneous sweating, free urination, incomplete bowel movements. I diagnosed tight/fine pulse, void on pressure, short Cun pulses. Cause: Heat season, cold drinks, excessive cold medicines, water attacking Heart, insulting Earth, imprisoning Mother, oppressing Son. Classic: Oppress invincible, attack victorious. Rain/cold-damp combine, Yin pattern jaundice. I used Yinchens Fuzi Ganjiang Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae, Aconite, and Ginger Decoction). Classic: Cold within, treat with sweet-hot, assist with bitter-pungent. Dampness excess, level with bitter-hot, leach with bland, dry with bitter. Fuzi/Ganjing pungent-sweet-hot scatter middle cold (Sovereign). Banxia/Caokou pungent-hot, Baizhu/Chenpi bitter-sweet-warm strengthen spleen/dry damp (Minister). Shengjiang pungent-warm scatters, Zexie bland-neutral leaches, Zhishi bitter-mild-cold drains fullness, Yinchen bitter-cold light floats, assisted by Jiang/Fu removes cold-damp from skin/subcutaneous tissue to resolve jaundice (Assistant/Envoy). One dose halved symptoms, two doses removed them. Followed by Lizhong Tang several doses, Qi restored. Objection: Jaundice is usually heat; now summer heat, why hot medicine? Answer: Reasonable. Cheng Wuji: Yin patterns: 1. External cold invading Yin meridians or cold food injuring Taiyin; 2. Initial Yang pattern treated with cold, excessive cold transforms Yang to Yin. Junxiang: Summer heat, cold food injures Spleen, excessive cold meds, Yin excess, Yang depletion, rain/cold-damp combine, produces jaundice. Zhongjing: Seek in cold-damp. Li Sishun: Sweating with excessive cold, purging harming ruler while chasing bandits. Sages' rules cannot be violated.

Above two formulas treat Deficiency-Heat Jaundice.
[Zhongjing] Jaundice with unchanged urine color, desire for loose stools, abdominal fullness, panting. Do not clear heat; clearing heat causes hiccups. Treat with Xiaobanxia Tang (Minor Pinellia Decoction). (Formula in Vomiting section. Unchanged urine means no heat in middle, thus clear/white, no heat to clear.) All jaundices with white urine cannot clear heat because there is no heat. If deficiency-cold signs exist, treat as deficiency consumption.
All jaundices with yellow-red urine are damp-heat. (Methods see Table/Interior/Deficiency Jaundice sections.)
