寒气侵袭上部。胃中寒冷而肠道燥热。导致水谷无法消化。出现心腹痞塞胀满并伴有腹泻。热气停留于上部。肠道寒冷而胃中燥热。导致食物消化过快且容易饥饿。腹部胀满且大便干涩难解。体内蕴积的热邪郁结不散，从而引发各种风证。风寒与湿邪结合，形成痹证。
《内经》说：风寒湿三气杂至合而为病，风气偏胜的称为行痹；阳气偏胜（热盛）的称为痛痹；湿气偏胜的称为着痹。若邪气在血脉之中，周流全身，则称为周痹。
小腹上方按压时内部疼痛，感觉像被热水浇灌一样灼热，小便涩滞不畅，鼻涕清稀量多，这称为胞痹。如果饮水多却排尿困难，时常腹胀、胀痛并伴有完谷不化的腹泻，或气喘，这称为肠痹。阳气多而阴气少，肌肉内部发热，背部感觉像有老鼠爬行一般，烦闷不适，这称为热痹。阳气少而阴气多，病邪与正气相搏加剧，则成为寒痹。湿气偏胜则痹证多汗，筋脉拘挛，关节疼痛不能行走，这称为筋痹。
骨骼疼痛，不能抬举且酸痛，这称为骨痹。凡是痹邪侵入五脏的情况：肺痹则心烦胸满、气喘且呕吐；心痹者，血脉不通畅，心烦时感到心下悸动如鼓击，气逆上冲而喘息，咽喉干燥；肝痹者，夜间睡眠易惊，小便频数；肾痹则善于腹胀，行走时脚跟不着地，头颈不能抬起；脾痹者，四肢倦怠无力，发作咳嗽并呕出涎汁，上部表现为大腹痞满。寒痹如果在骨，则身体沉重；如果在脉，则血液凝滞而不流动；如果在筋，则屈伸不利；如果在肉，则肌肤麻木不仁；如果在皮，则皮肤寒冷。这五种情况，往往并不疼痛。凡是痹证这一类病症，遇到寒冷则肢体蜷缩，遇到温热则肢体舒展松弛。
饮食肥甘厚味过度，容易生发严重的疔疮。
这是指食用膏粱厚味的人，脏腑内蕴积热毒，或者服用金石类药物，毒气损伤血液，血结而成各种疮肿。例如疔疮中有发蛇眼疔的，有两个脓头；麻子疔，形状像麻子；脐疔，多生于肚脐上；刀镰疔，因受伤而成疮；茱萸疔，中间凹陷周围隆起；水泡疔，极度瘙痒透入骨髓，搔抓后感觉爽快；红丝疔，疮边有红色络脉直向上延伸如线状；火疔颜色极红，三天后大发肿胀；墨疔，像黑色的水泡；樱桃疔，形状像樱桃；浮沤疔，半低半高；胁疔，生于胁肋部的是；烂疔，疮口流水，流到哪里就在哪里成疮；雌疔，有时会在别处又生出一个，用水冲洗时可见；有石疔，颜色黑如豆粒且坚硬，还有每天增添生出三个或六个疔的情况。
营气运行不顺，逆乱于肌肉纹理之间，于是产生痈肿。
各种恶毒的肿疡生疮，大而浅表的称为痈，小而根深部的称为疽。有发于脑部的，生在头上，初起像黍米大小，四周红肿坚硬，蔓延至耳部和颈部，有的会发展成痈。如脑疽，初起像黄枳实，破溃后像杯底，深约一寸。发背，生于背部俞穴，也属于搭背之类。热毒内聚，气血不行，凝结而成胃脘雍塞，或者生肺痈，或者肠痈，或者有附着在骨头上的称为附骨痈，也就是贴骨痈。或者各种恶疮，有面露疮，化脓的疮窠像香瓣一样；髭须疮则有脓窠；金腮疮能腐蚀穿透腮颊，初生如米粒豆子大；鬈毛疮在头发中，初生像葡萄，疼痛不止；发际疮初生如黄米大，或痒或痛；咽漏疮，生在结喉上，像痈肿，破溃后有孔洞；绿唇疮、彻耳疮、鼻疳疮，能侵蚀鼻梁；睛漏疮，生在眼睛大眦，必定流出脓汁；有孔子疮、颐颏疮，又名独骨疮，生在腮后的是；玉枕疮，生在枕骨上，像痈，破溃后有筋头突出；粉铃疮环绕颈部红肿糜烂，多汁液；天柱疮，生在脊背大椎穴上，像铜钱大，色红，流出黄色汁液不止。妇女被小儿吮乳吹气所致的肿胀，称为吹乳。或因热毒而成的乳头皲裂有乳痈。乳崖、乳核，也叫乳岩。有乳汁不出，蓄积在内结成痈的，名为妒乳。有鱼眼疮、䖟目疮、透掌漏疮、反花疮，破溃后肌肉翻出于外。浸淫疮生于身上，初起微痒，后来有水流出，向下流注。下注疮生于脚膝间，脓水不绝，连年不愈。水毒浮肿，因伤于湿，肌肉麻木不仁而成疮。冷疮，因经年不愈而成。热疮初发，赤根白头，渗出汁液，严重的腐烂化为脓血，或痛或痒。月蚀疮，小儿生在两耳上及耳窍旁的。有人说小儿是随月亮盈亏而生，这未必必然，其实是风湿热毒所致。冻烂肿疮，因受寒，气血凝聚不流，则皮肉不温，聚集成红肿疼痛而成疮。俗称为冻烂疮的，赤根白头，相对并生，像小豆，或像茱萸子，浸淫瘙痒疼痛，抓挠后汁液流出。有漆疮，是中了漆毒。有灸疮，因为艾灸过多，艾毒不根据六俞分布，以及饮食中毒，不慎房事，肿痛长久不愈的，称为㾦疮。疮久脓溃不止的，内经称为陷脉为㾦。有热肿、毒肿、气肿、风肿、疮肿。小而出脓血的称为疖。受风湿而在肌肤中生出的浸淫疮，或搔抓后出汁液的，或有白屑起的，称为癣或疥。热毒郁结于四肢而肿，称为结阳。筋骨热甚，爪甲成疮而脱落，名为伐指丹毒。热毒之气，暴发于皮肤，其色像涂了丹砂的红，流移不定，晕入腹内即死。痱疮，内经说汗出见湿，乃生痤痱，俗称为痱子。有恶脉，其状赤色络脉忽然突起，蓬松聚集，像死蚯蚓的样子。有留气上结如核，多生于耳旁，这是留气结核及瘰疬。有马刀挟瘿疮、蝼蛄疮，则走串扩散。樱桃疮，有如颗粒高起，红赤。若其状若下垂疮、便毒、天疮、无名恶肿之类。所以内经说：营气逆乱则血郁，血郁则热聚为脓。以上疮疡的论述和治疗条例，都出自《圣济总录》。
治疗疮疡要审察脉象，治疗就不会迷惑。身体沉重脉缓，是湿胜，应除湿。身体发热脉大，是躁热发肿，应退热凉营。眩晕动摇，疼痛而脉弦，应降痰祛风。气涩卫气阻滞，燥渴脉涩，应补血泻气。食少恶寒，脉紧细的，宜泻寒水。辨别经络部位，详细审慎进行治疗。
以上是治疗疮疡的脉诀。
湿热生虫。
厥阴风水生虫。三焦阳火热盛，而肺多受克制，金被火克，不能制约木，木气过盛，兼有脾胃湿热，因此生虫，如寸白虫、长蛔虫、血鳖之类。
水积痰饮。
如人素来强壮如今消瘦，水液走于肠间，历历有声，称为痰饮。有饮水后水流在胁下，咳唾牵引作痛，称为悬饮。水流于四肢，应当出汗而不出汗，身体重痛，称为溢饮。咳逆倚息，短气不能平卧，身形如肿，称为支饮。又有留饮者，背部寒冷如手掌大，或短气而渴，四肢历节疼痛，胁下痛牵引缺盆，咳嗽则加重。伏饮者，膈满呕吐喘咳，发作时寒热腰背痛，眼泪直流，其人振振恶寒，身体战栗。痰证如风痰、热痰、湿痰、酒痰、食痰、寒痰之类。
目痛赤肿，精散荣热。
眼睛的五轮，是脏腑精华所在，也是宗脉汇聚之处。白睛属肺金，肉轮属脾土，赤脉属心火，黑水神光属肾水，兼属肝木。如白睛变红，是火乘肺。肉轮赤肿，是火乘脾。黑水神光被翳障遮蔽，是火乘肝与肾。赤脉贯穿眼睛，是火自盛。有雀目病，则不能夜视及内障，乃暴怒大忧所致。暴赤肿痛，羞明隐涩，肿痛不已，眼眶红烂，生眵泪下，拳毛倒睫，视物昏花，翳膜遮睛，都是精气营卫失守，风热盛及血热所致。
牙痛龈宣，寒热亦别。
牙齿有恶寒作痛的，有恶热作痛的，有恶寒又恶热而作痛的，有恶寒喜热饮多而作痛的，有恶热喜冷饮多而作痛的，有牙齿动摇作痛的，有齿袒露而作痛的，有齿龈被疳虫侵蚀缺血而作痛的，有齿龈肿起而作痛的，有腺胃中有风邪，但觉风雨刺激作痛的，又有牙上多为虫所蚀，其齿缺少而色变为虫牙，齿缝中有血出不止为牙宣。有胃气少不能抵御寒冷，袒露其齿作痛，有痛而秽臭不可近者。手阳明经脉，贯络下牙龈，恶寒喜热；足阳明经脉，贯络上牙龈，喜寒饮而恶热。牙齿是肾之余，也喜欢寒凉，寒则坚牢。病因不一，热甚则齿动，牙龈相脱作臭，痛不已。有风热内甚而痛，有风寒客之为痛，大寒犯脑赤连牙痛之类。
五脏本病，热争重9 (音捏)
《内经》说：肝热病者，小便先黄，腹痛多卧，烦躁身热，热争则狂，胁下满而痛，烦躁不安。心热病，则心不乐乃热，热争心痛而烦闷善呕，头痛面赤，热而无汗。脾热则头重颊痛，颜面青欲呕，身热烦心，腹满泄泻，热争则腰痛。肺热则洒洒然恶寒，舌黄而身热，热争喘咳，痛走胸背，不得太息，头痛不堪，汗出而恶寒。肾热病，则腰痛9酸，渴而身热，热争项强，寒且酸，足热而言懒，头痛9然。如五气所病：心为意，肺为咳，肝为语，脾为吞，肾为欠，胃为气逆，为哕为恐，大小腹为泄，下焦溢为水，膀胱不利为癃，不约为遗溺。五病所发，五邪所乱之类。
六腑不和，留结为痈。五脏不和，九窍不通。腑脏相移，传变为病，不可胜纪。《内经》说：心移寒于肺，则为肺消证。心移热于肺，则胸满烦心，烦躁引饮短气，膈热为膈消证。肝移寒于心则狂。肝移热于心心病谓之生阳，不过四日死。脾寒移肝，痈肿而筋挛。肺寒移肾，其证如囊裹浆，或遍身肿满，按腹不坚，疾行则濯濯有声，或咳不定，为涌水证。脾热移肝，则血溢为惊衄证。胆受胃热，鼻中血妄行为衄，或血污不止。胆移热于脑，脑热渗下，则浊涕不止，久而不已，成衄血疾。肾热移脾，则传为虚肠9，死不治。膀胱本热则为癃，病溺血。膀胱移热于小肠，隔肠不便，上为口糜证。大肠移热于胃，则善食而瘦。胃热移胆，俱为食9证。肾寒移脾，则痈肿少气。肠有积热，则津液壅滞腹痛而便涩，为9瘕证。病机治例，见《宣明论》。间藏者存，传其所生。
《内经》说：假令心病传脾，脾传肺，肺传肾，肾传肝，肝传心，是传其所生。故有病虽重必生。
七传者死，传其所制。
如心病传肺，肺传肝，肝传脾，脾传肾，肾传心，火受水之传一也，肺金复受火之传再也。自心而始，以次相传，至肺之再，是七传也。故七传者死。一脏不受再伤也。是传其所胜尔。
五脏有积，肝曰肥气，在左胁下，大如覆杯，或有头足，久则变病，咳逆9疟，连岁不已。心积伏梁，病起脐上，其大如臂，上至心下，如久不愈，令人烦心。脾积痞气，其在胃脘，覆大如盘，久而不愈，四肢不举，乃发黄胆，虽食而瘦。肺积息贲，在右胁下，覆大如杯，如久不已，令人寒热，喘发肺痈。肾积奔豚，发于小腹，上至心下，乃若豚状，下上无时，如久不已，令人喘逆，骨痿少气。《内经》说：积者，一脏因受胜己之邪，而传干己之所胜，适当旺时，拒而不受，复还于胜己者不肯受，因结为积也。有食积，则酸心腹满。酒积，目黄口干。气积，噫气痞寒。涎积，咽如拽锯。痰积，涕唾稠粘。癖积，两胁刺痛。水积，足胫胀满。血积，打扑肭瘀，及肉面一切物食所积之类。在六腑为聚，鼓胀发蛊。
有腹胀、寒胀、热胀、气胀、大热胀、水肿而胀，甚则为蛊。夫胀者，由脾胃之气虚弱，不能运化精微而制水谷，聚而不散，而成胀也。有心腹胀满，旦食不能暮食，致胃逆不散者名鼓胀。有小腹急痛，便溺失精，溲而出白液，亦名为蛊病。中满郁痞。
《内经》说：脏寒生满病。如太阴所至为中满，为蓄满，湿土之化，脾湿有余，腹满食不消，无阳则不能生化也。如胀之类郁，如气不能消散升降为结聚而痞闷也。心下满而不痛为虚痞，积饮隔滞为实痞也。
开提其气，升降是宜。
这是治疗郁闭痞满的大法。
人身之本，脾胃为主。头痛耳鸣，九窍不利，皆由胃所生。胃气之虚，虚极变病，五乱互作。
五脏五行之气不和，更相传变为病也。
东垣所论，王道之学。
东垣李明之先生，述脾胃盛衰论，一虚一实。
气乱于卫，血逆于经，血气不和，故一虚一实，乃气血之并也。见《素问·调经论》。五实五虚。
五实者，脉盛为心，皮热为肺，腹胀为脾，前后不通为肾，闷瞀为肝也。五虚者，脉细为心，皮寒为肺，气少为肝，前后泄利为肾，饮食不入为脾也。谓一病五者悉具。
五劳七伤，六极乃9。
久视伤血，久卧伤气，久坐伤肉，久立伤骨，久行伤筋。又志思忧心与疲劳为五劳也。肝伤善梦，心伤善忘，脾伤善饮，肺伤善痿，肾伤善唾，骨伤善饥，脉伤善嗽，为七伤也。伤劳为六极，气血筋骨髓精病也。
五郁七情，九气所为。怒则气上，喜则气缓，悲则气消，恐则气下，寒则气收，炅则气泄，惊则气乱，劳则气耗，思则气结。（此为九气）忧愁思虑，甚则伤心。形寒饮冷，过则伤脾。恚怒气逆，过则伤肝。饮食劳倦，甚乃伤脾。坐卧湿地，强力入水，故乃伤肾。（次为七情）此因气动，形神自病。喜怒不节，劳形厥气，气血偏盛阴阳相乘，阴胜阳病，阳胜阴病，阳胜则热，阴胜则寒，重寒则热，重热则寒。寒则伤形，热则伤气。气伤则痛，形伤则肿。先痛后肿，气伤形也。先肿后痛，形伤气也。阴阳变病，标本寒热。如大寒甚，热之不热，谓以热药治寒不退，是无火也。热来复去，昼见夜伏，夜发昼见，时节而动，是无火也。当助其心。心虚则热收于内，故外热不常。
如热而甚，寒之不寒，谓以寒凉药治热病，而热不能退，是无水也。寒动复止，倏忽往来，时动时止，是无水也。当助其肾。肾虚则寒动于中，故外寒不常。
内格呕逆，食不得入，是有火也。病呕而吐，食入反出，谓食入良久乃吐，是无火也。暴逆注下，食不及化，是有火也。溏泄而久，止发无常，是无水也。心盛生热，肾盛生寒，此心火极而发热，肾水盛而生寒，非虚热虚寒比。
又热不寒，是无火也。寒不得热则无水也。寒之不寒，责其无水。热之不热，责其无火。热之不久，责心之虚。寒之不久，责肾之少。
又热不寒者，或因寒胜格阳在外，本非热也。寒不得热者，或因阳极似阴，火盛拒寒在外，而不得热，本非寒也。寒之不寒，乃水之源衰，火之胜也。热之不热，火不源衰，水之胜也。审察病机，无失气宜，纪于水火，余气可知。妇室病多，带下赤白，999疝。妇人有病，六气四因，皆同男子。余胎产经水之疾，不可枚举。如带下赤者，热入小肠。白者，热入大肠。若痢下也。若经水不调，血聚为99，小腹下肿硬，为999疝之疾。
气血为病，经闭不行。
Cold pathogen invades the upper jiao. The stomach is cold while the intestines are hot, leading to the failure of digestion and transformation of food and fluids. This results in epigastric fullness and distension accompanied by diarrhea. Heat qi resides in the upper jiao; the intestines are cold while the stomach is hot, causing rapid digestion with easy hunger, abdominal distension, and difficult, scanty defecation. Accumulated heat stagnates and becomes oppressed, thereby generating various wind syndromes. Cold, wind, and dampness combine to form Bi syndrome (Obstruction Syndrome).
The Classics state: When cold, wind, and dampness combine to cause disease, if wind predominates, it is called Xing Bi (Moving Bi); if Yang heat predominates, it is called Tong Bi (Painful Bi); if dampness predominates, it is called Zhuo Bi (Fixed Bi). If the pathogen is within the blood vessels and circulates throughout the body, it is called Zhou Bi (General Bi).
Pressing the area above the lower abdomen causes internal pain, feeling as if scalded by hot water, with astringent and difficult urination, and clear, profuse nasal discharge; this is called Bao Bi (Bladder Bi). If there is excessive drinking but difficulty in urination, frequent abdominal distension, pain, and undigested stool in diarrhea, or panting, this is called Chang Bi (Intestinal Bi). When Yang qi is abundant and Yin qi is deficient, causing internal heat in the muscles, with a sensation on the back like a mouse crawling, accompanied by stifling discomfort, this is called Re Bi (Heat Bi). When Yang qi is deficient and Yin qi is abundant, and the pathogen exacerbates the condition, it becomes Han Bi (Cold Bi). If dampness predominates, Bi syndrome presents with excessive sweating, tendon spasms, joint pain, and inability to walk, which is called Jin Bi (Tendon Bi).
If bones are painful, unable to be lifted, and ache, it is called Gu Bi (Bone Bi). Regarding Bi pathogens invading the five Zang organs: Fei Bi (Lung Bi) causes vexation, chest fullness, panting, and vomiting; Xin Bi (Heart Bi) involves blocked vessels, with vexation causing palpitations like drumbeats in the heart region, rebellious Qi leading to panting, and dry throat; Gan Bi (Liver Bi) causes fright during sleep and frequent urination; Shen Bi (Kidney Bi) leads to frequent abdominal distension, walking with heels raised and not touching the ground, and inability to lift the head; Pi Bi (Spleen Bi) causes lassitude and weakness of the four limbs, coughing with vomiting of saliva, and upper abdominal fullness. Han Bi in the bones causes heaviness; in vessels, blood coagulation and stasis; in tendons, flexion without extension; in flesh, numbness; in skin, coldness. These five types often do not present with pain. Generally, Bi syndromes curl up when exposed to cold and relax/extend when exposed to heat.
Excessive consumption of rich, greasy foods easily generates severe Ding sores (Furuncles).
This refers to individuals consuming rich and fatty foods, whose internal organs accumulate heat toxins, or those taking mineral medicines, where toxic vapors damage the blood, leading to blood stasis forming various swellings and sores. For example, Ding sores include She Yan Ding (Snake Eye Ding) with two heads; Ma Zi Ding (Hemp Seed Ding) shaped like a hemp seed; Qi Ding (Navel Ding) mostly occurring on the navel; Dao Lian Ding (Knife Sickle Ding) resulting from injury; Zhu Yu Ding (Cornel Ding) concave inside and convex outside; Shui Pao Ding (Water Blister Ding) extremely itchy penetrating to the bone, feeling relieved upon scratching; Hong Si Ding (Red Thread Ding) with red meridians extending straight up from the sore edge like a thread; Huo Ding (Fire Ding) extremely red, swelling severely after three days; Mo Ding (Ink Ding) resembling black blisters; Ying Tao Ding (Cherry Ding) shaped like a cherry; Fu Ao Ding (Floating Bubble Ding) half low and half high; Xie Ding (Flank Ding) occurring on the flanks; Lan Ding (Rotting Ding) where fluid from the sore creates new sores wherever it flows; Ci Ding (Female Ding) sometimes appearing elsewhere, visible when washed with water; Shi Ding (Stone Ding) black like a bean and hard; and cases where three or six new Dings appear daily.
When Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) does not follow its proper course and rebels within the muscle tissue, abscesses and swellings arise.
Various malignant toxic swellings and sores: large and superficial ones are called Yong (Carbuncle); small and deep-rooted ones are called Ju (Deep Abscess). Those occurring on the head are called Fa Nao (Brain Eruption), starting like a millet grain, with surrounding redness, swelling, and hardness, spreading to the ears and neck, potentially developing into a Yong. Na Ju (Brain Abscess) starts like a yellow Zhi Shi fruit, and after rupture resembles the bottom of a cup, about one cun deep. Fa Bei (Back Eruption) occurs at the Back Shu points, similar to Da Bei (Shoulder-Back Abscess). Internal accumulation of heat toxin causes blood and Qi stagnation, knotting to form Wei Wan Yong (Epigastric Obstruction), or generating Fei Yong (Lung Carbuncle), Chang Yong (Intestinal Carbuncle), or Fu Gu Yong (Attached Bone Carbuncle), also known as Tie Gu Yong (Sticking-to-Bone Carbuncle). Other malignant sores include Mian Lu Chuang (Face Exposing Sore) with pus pockets like incense petals; Zi Xu Chuang (Beard Sore) with pus pockets; Jin Sai Chuang (Golden Cheek Sore) eroding through the cheeks, starting like rice or beans; Juan Mao Chuang (Curly Hair Sore) in the scalp, starting like grapes, with unceasing pain; Fa Ji Chuang (Hairline Sore) starting like yellow millet, itchy or painful; Yan Lou Chuang (Throat Leak Sore) on the Jie Hou (Adam's apple), like an abscess, leaving a hole after rupture; Lv Chun Chuang (Green Lip Sore), Che Er Chuang (Ear-Penetrating Sore), Bi Gan Chuang (Nose Fungus Sore) eroding the nasal bridge; Jing Lou Chuang (Eye Leak Sore) at the inner canthus, discharging pus; Kong Zi Chuang (Confucius Sore), Yi He Chuang (Chin Sore), also named Du Gu Chuang (Single Bone Sore) behind the cheekbones; Yu Zhen Chuang (Jade Pillow Sore) on the occipital bone, like an abscess with a tendon-like projection after rupture; Fen Ling Chuang (Powder Bell Sore) around the neck with red erosion and much discharge; Tian Zhu Chuang (Heavenly Pillar Sore) on the Da Zhui point, coin-sized, red, discharging yellow fluid incessantly. Swelling in women caused by infants sucking/blowing on breasts is called Chui Ru (Blown Breast). Sores caused by heat toxin with cracked nipples are Ru Yong (Breast Carbuncle). Ru Ya, Ru He, also named Ru Yan (Breast Rock/Tumor). Milk retention accumulating internally to form an abscess is named Du Ru (Jealous Breast). There are Yu Yan Chuang (Fish Eye Sore), Cang Chuang (Hidden Sore), Tou Zhang Lou Chuang (Palm-Penetrating Leak Sore), Fan Hua Chuang (Reverse Flower Sore) where flesh everts outward after rupture. Jin Yin Chuang (Oozing Sore) appears on the body, initially slightly itchy, later discharging water, flowing downward. Xia Zhu Chuang (Downward Flowing Sore) between feet and knees, discharging pus continuously, chronic for years. Shui Du Zhong (Water Toxic Swelling) due to dampness injury, causing muscle numbness and sores. Leng Chuang (Cold Sore) resulting from chronic non-healing. Re Chuang (Heat Sore) starts with red base and white head, exuding fluid; severe cases rot into pus and blood, painful or itchy. Yue Shi Chuang (Moon Eclipse Sore) in children on the upper ears and near ear openings; some say it arises with the moon phases, but this is unlikely, as it is actually Wind-Damp-Heat-Toxin. Dong Lan Zhong Chuang (Frozen Rotting Swelling Sore) due to cold, causing Qi and Blood coagulation and stasis, leading to cold skin/flesh, aggregating into red, swollen, painful sores. Commonly called frozen sores, they have red bases and white heads, appearing in pairs like mung beans or cornel seeds, oozing when scratched. Qi Chuang (Lacquer Sore) is caused by lacquer toxicity. Jiu Chuang (Moxa Sore) results from excessive moxibustion; Ai Du (Moxa Toxicity) does not follow the Six Meridians. Also, dietary poisoning, imprudent sexual activity, and prolonged swelling/pain indicate Wei Chuang (Weeping Sore). Chronic sores with unceasing pus discharge are described in the Neijing as "Xian Mai" (Sunken Vessels). Types include Re Zhong (Heat Swelling), Du Zhong (Toxic Swelling), Qi Zhong (Qi Swelling), Feng Zhong (Wind Swelling), Chuang Zhong (Sore Swelling). Small sores discharging pus and blood are Jie (Boil). Sores arising in skin/muscle from Wind-Damp, oozing when scratched, or with white scales are Xuan (Tinea) or Jie (Scabies). Heat-toxin stagnating in limbs causing swelling is Jie Yang (Knotting Yang). Severe heat in sinews/bones causing nail sores and shedding is Fa Zhi Dan Du (Finger-Cutting Erysipelas). Heat-toxin erupting suddenly on skin, red like cinnabar, migrating不定, fatal if it spreads to the abdomen. Fei Chuang (Prickly Heat) arises from sweat meeting dampness, commonly called prickly heat rash. E Mai (Evil Veins) present as sudden red vein protrusions, fluffy and clustered, resembling dead earthworms. Liu Qi (Retained Qi) knots like a mass, mostly behind ears, constituting Liu Qi He Jie (Retained Qi Tuberculosis) and Luo Li (Scrofula). Ma Dao Jia Ying Chuang (Horse Knife Accompanying Goiter Sore), Lou Gu Chuang (Mole Cricket Sore) spread diffusely. Ying Tao Chuang (Cherry Sore) has raised granules, red. Similar to Xia Chui Chuang (Drooping Sore), Bian Du (Groin Abscess), Tian Chuang (Heavenly Sore), Wu Ming E Zhong (Nameless Malignant Swelling). Thus, the Classics state: Ying rebellion causes Blood Stasis; Blood Stasis causes Heat aggregation into Pus. The above discussions on sores and treatment principles are from *Shengji Zonglu* (General Records of Holy Relief).
Treating sores requires pulse diagnosis to avoid confusion. Heavy body with slow pulse indicates Dampness excess; treat by draining dampness. Fever with large pulse indicates restless heat and swelling; treat by clearing heat and cooling Ying. Dizziness and tremors with pain and wiry pulse indicate Phlegm and Wind; treat by descending Phlegm and dispelling Wind. Qi stagnation and Wei obstruction with dry thirst and choppy pulse indicate Blood deficiency and Qi excess; treat by nourishing Blood and draining Qi. Poor appetite and aversion to cold with tight, fine pulse indicate Cold Water excess; treat by draining Cold Water. Differentiate meridians and treat carefully.
These are the pulse formulas for treating sores.
Damp-Heat generates parasites.
Jueyin Wind-Water generates parasites. Sanjiao Yang-Fire is excessively hot, suppressing Lung Metal. Metal suppressed by Fire cannot control Wood. Wood becomes excessive, combined with Spleen-Stomach Damp-Heat, generating parasites such as Taenia (Cun Bai), Ascaris (Chang Hui), and blood flukes.
Water accumulation and Phlegm-Fluids.
If a person was robust but now emaciated, with water moving in the intestines making audible gurgling sounds, it is called Tan Yin (Phlegm-Fluid). If fluid accumulates below the ribs causing pain upon coughing/sputtering, it is called Xuan Yin (Suspension Fluid). If fluid accumulates in the limbs, preventing sweating, causing heavy painful body, it is called Yi Yin (Overflowing Fluid). If coughing prevents lying flat, with shortness of breath and edema-like appearance, it is called Zhi Yin (Supporting Fluid). Liu Yin (Retained Fluid) presents with coldness on the back the size of a hand, or shortness of breath/thirst, limb joint pain, and hypochondriac pain radiating to the Clavicle, worsening with cough. Fu Yin (Hidden Fluid) presents with diaphragmatic fullness, vomiting, panting/cough, fever/chills, back pain, tearing upon attack, chills, and trembling. Phlegm syndromes include Feng Tan (Wind Phlegm), Re Tan (Heat Phlegm), Shi Tan (Damp Phlegm), Jiu Tan (Wine Phlegm), Shi Tan (Food Phlegm), Han Tan (Cold Phlegm).
Eye pain and redness/swelling, scattered essence, Ying Heat.
The Five Wheels of the eye are the essence of the Zang organs and gathering points of major vessels. White sclera belongs to Lung Metal; eyelids (flesh wheel) to Spleen Earth; red vessels to Heart Fire; black pupil/lens (Water Spirit Light) to Kidney Water, also related to Liver Wood. Red sclera indicates Fire invading Lung. Red/swollen eyelids indicate Fire invading Spleen. Obscured vision/black pupil indicates Fire invading Liver/Kidney. Red vessels crossing the eye indicate Self-excess Fire. Night blindness (Que Mu) and internal cataracts result from sudden anger/grief. Sudden redness/swelling/pain, photophobia, tearing, inverted eyelashes, blurred vision, and corneal opacities indicate loss of Essence/Ying protection, due to excess Wind-Heat and Blood Heat.
Toothache and receding gums, distinguished by Cold/Heat.
Toothaches vary: aversion to cold, aversion to heat, both, preferring hot drinks (cold type) or cold drinks (heat type), loose teeth, exposed roots, gum erosion by worms causing bleeding, gum swelling, wind sensitivity in gums, worm-eaten teeth missing/discolored, bleeding gums (Ya Xuan). Weak Stomach Qi failing to resist cold exposes teeth causing pain. Pain with foul odor. Hand-Yangming meridian connects to lower gums, favoring heat. Foot-Yangming meridian connects to upper gums, favoring cold. Teeth are surplus of Kidney, preferring cold/hardness. Causes vary: Heat causes loosening, gum recession, foul odor. Internal Wind-Heat or external Cold-Wind can cause pain. Severe Cold attacking the brain can cause redness and toothache.
Primary diseases of the Five Zang, Heat contention causing severe symptoms.
The Classics state: Liver Heat disease begins with yellow urine, abdominal pain, lethargy, irritability, redness, fever. Heat contention causes madness, hypochondriac fullness/pain, restlessness. Heart Heat disease causes mental distress, heat sensation, heart pain, vexation, vomiting, headache, facial redness, fever without sweat. Spleen Heat causes heavy head, cheek pain, greenish complexion, desire to vomit, fever, vexation, abdominal fullness/diarrhea. Heat contention causes lower back pain. Lung Heat causes aversion to cold, yellow tongue, fever. Heat contention causes panting/cough, pain radiating to chest/back, inability to sigh deeply, unbearable headache, sweating with aversion to cold. Kidney Heat causes lower back pain and soreness, thirst, fever. Heat contention causes neck stiffness, chills/soreness, hot feet, lazy speech, headache. Regarding Five Qi diseases: Heart relates to Intent; Lung to Cough; Liver to Speech; Spleen to Swallowing; Kidney to Yawning; Stomach to Rebellious Qi, hiccups, fear. Lower abdomen issues relate to diarrhea. Lower Jiao overflow relates to water retention. Bladder dysfunction leads to Lin (Strangury). Incontinence leads to Enuresis. These cover Five Disease origins and Five Pathogen disturbances.
Six Fu organs disharmony leads to knotting and carbuncles. Five Zang disharmony leads to nine orifices blockage. Organ transmission transforms into disease, countless in number. Classics state: Heart transmitting Cold to Lung causes Fei Xiao (Lung Wasting-Thirst). Heart transmitting Heat to Lung causes chest fullness, vexation, thirst, shortness of breath, Diaphragm Heat causing Ge Xiao (Diaphragm Wasting-Thirst). Liver transmitting Cold to Heart causes madness. Liver transmitting Heat to Heart is called Sheng Yang (Generating Yang), fatal within four days. Spleen Cold transmitting to Liver causes carbuncles and tendon spasms. Lung Cold transmitting to Kidney presents like a bag holding fluid, generalized edema, soft abdomen, gurgling sound when walking rapidly, irregular cough, called Yong Shui (Surging Water). Spleen Heat transmitting to Liver causes blood hemorrhage/jumping nosebleeds (Jing Nu). Gallbladder receiving Stomach Heat causes spontaneous nosebleeds or persistent bloody discharge. Gallbladder transmitting Heat to Brain causes turbid nasal discharge; chronic cases become chronic nosebleed disease. Kidney Heat transmitting to Spleen transforms into Xu Chang Xie (Deficient Intestinal Diarrhea), untreatable/fatal. Bladder primary Heat causes Lin and hematuria. Bladder transmitting Heat to Small Intestine causes intestinal obstruction and mouth ulcers (Kou Mi). Large Intestine transmitting Heat to Stomach causes polyphagia with emaciation. Stomach Heat transmitting to Gallbladder causes Food Stagnation. Kidney Cold transmitting to Spleen causes carbuncles and shortness of breath. Intestinal accumulated heat causes fluid stagnation, abdominal pain, difficult defecation, forming Lei Jia masses. Treatment examples are in *Xuan Ming Lun*.
"Jian Zang" (Intersecting Transmission) survives; transmission generates the next element.
Classics state: If Heart transmits to Spleen, Spleen to Lung, Lung to Kidney, Kidney to Liver, Liver to Heart, this is transmitting to what it generates. Thus, even severe illness leads to survival.
"Qi Zhuan" (Seven Transmissions) leads to death; transmission controls/restricts.
Example: Heart transmits to Lung, Lung to Liver, Liver to Spleen, Spleen to Kidney, Kidney to Heart. Fire receives Water transmission once; Lung Metal receives Fire transmission twice. Starting from Heart, sequentially transmitting, reaching Lung twice constitutes Seven Transmissions. Thus, Seven Transmissions lead to death. One Zang cannot bear repeated injury. This is transmitting to what it overcomes (Ke).
Five Zang Accumulations (Ji):
Liver is Fei Qi (Fat Qi), under left hypochondrium, size of inverted cup, may have head/feet, chronic cases cause cough/rebellious Qi, malaria, continuing for years.
Heart is Fu Liang (Hidden Beam), starting above umbilicus, arm-sized, extending to epigastrium, chronic cases cause vexation.
Spleen is Pi Qi (Stagnation Qi), in epigastrium, plate-sized, chronic cases cause limb paralysis, jaundice, emaciation despite eating.
Lung is Xi Ben (Gasp/Sigh), under right hypochondrium, cup-sized, chronic cases cause fever/chills, panting, Lung Carbuncle.
Kidney is Ben Tun (Running Piglet), starting in lower abdomen, rising to epigastrium, pig-like movement, intermittent, chronic cases cause panting/reversal, bone萎 (atrophy), shortness of breath.
Classics state: Accumulations occur when a Zang receives pathogenic Qi from the organ that overcomes it, tries to transmit to the organ it overcomes, but meets resistance during its peak time, refuses to accept, returns to the overcoming organ which also refuses, thus knotting into an accumulation.
Types: Shi Ji (Food Accumulation) causes acid regurgitation/abdominal fullness. Jiu Ji (Wine Accumulation) causes yellow eyes/dry mouth. Qi Ji (Qi Accumulation) causes belching/stuffiness. Xian Ji (Saliva Accumulation) causes throat sensation like sawing. Tan Ji (Phlegm Accumulation) causes thick sputum. Pi Ji (Mass Accumulation) causes stabbing hypochondriac pain. Shui Ji (Water Accumulation) causes leg/shin swelling. Xue Ji (Blood Accumulation) results from trauma/stasis or food accumulation. In Six Fu, these are Ju (Gathering) disorders, leading to Gu Zhang (Drum Distension) or Gu Disease.
Distension types: Abdominal, Cold, Heat, Qi, Great Heat, Edematous. Severe cases become Gu. Distension arises from Spleen/Stomach Qi deficiency, failing to transform nutrients/control water/grain, leading to accumulation. Gu Zhang (Drum Distension) features morning fullness preventing evening eating, rebellious Stomach Qi. Gu Disease features lower abdominal pain, seminal emission, white urinary discharge. Zhong Man Yu Pi (Middle Fullness/Stagnant Stiffness).
Classics state: Cold in Zang generates fullness. Taiyin arrival causes Middle Fullness/Accumulated Fullness. Spleen Dampness excess causes abdominal fullness/poor digestion. Lack of Yang prevents transformation. Distension/Dampness stagnates, Qi fails to ascend/descend, knotting into Pi (Stiffness). Epigastric fullness without pain is Xu Pi (Deficiency Stiffness); fluid accumulation/blockage is Shi Pi (Excess Stiffness).
Lifting Qi and regulating ascent/descent is appropriate.
This is the major method for treating Stagnant Pi/Fullness.
The root of the human body is Spleen/Stomach. Headache, tinnitus, nine orifices dysfunction stem from Stomach. Stomach Qi deficiency, extreme deficiency transforms into disease, Five Chaos interfere.
Five Zang/Wu Xing Qi disharmony transmits and transforms into disease.
Dong Yuan's theory represents the "Kingly Way" of learning.
Master Dong Yuan (Li Mingzhi) discussed Spleen/Stomach prosperity/decline: one Deficient, one Excess.
Qi chaos in Wei (Defensive) Qi, Blood rebellion in meridians, Blood/Qi disharmony, hence one Deficient, one Excess, representing confluence of Blood/Qi. See *Suwen: Tiao Jing Lun*.
Five Excesses (Wu Shi) and Five Deficiencies (Wu Xu).
Five Excesses: Surging pulse (Heart), Hot skin (Lung), Abdominal fullness (Spleen), Blockage of front/back orifices (Kidney), Stifling dizziness (Liver).
Five Deficiencies: Fine pulse (Heart), Cold skin (Lung), Shortness of breath (Liver), Diarrhea/incontinence (Kidney), Inability to eat (Spleen). If all five manifest in one disease...
Five Labors (Wu Lao), Seven Damages (Qi Shang), Six Extremes (Liu Ji).
Long viewing damages Blood; long lying damages Qi; long sitting damages Flesh; long standing damages Bones; long walking damages Tendons. Mental worry/fatigue constitute Five Labors. Liver damage causes dreams; Heart damage causes forgetfulness; Spleen damage causes excessive drinking; Lung damage causes wasting; Kidney damage causes excessive salivation; Bone damage causes hunger; Pulse damage causes cough. These are Seven Damages. Labor injury leads to Six Extremes: diseases of Qi, Blood, Tendons, Marrow, Bones, Essence.
Five Stagnations (Wu Yu), Seven Emotions (Qi Qing), Nine Qi (Jiu Qi).
Anger makes Qi ascend; Joy makes Qi slacken; Grief consumes Qi; Fear makes Qi descend; Cold contracts Qi; Heat leaks Qi; Fright disrupts Qi; Labor exhausts Qi; Thought knots Qi. (These are Nine Qi).
Worry/thought excessively injure Heart. Cold form/cold drinks excessively injure Spleen. Anger/rebellious Qi excessively injure Liver. Diet/labor excessively injure Spleen. Sitting/sleeping on wet ground/forcing into water injures Kidney. (These are Seven Emotions/Causes).
These arise from Qi movement damaging Form/Spirit. Unregulated joy/anger, labor damaging Qi, Blood/Qi imbalance, Yin/Yang mutual invasion. Yin excess injures Yang; Yang excess injures Yin. Yang excess causes Heat; Yin excess causes Cold. Extreme Cold generates Heat; Extreme Heat generates Cold. Cold damages Form; Heat damages Qi. Qi damage causes pain; Form damage causes swelling. Pain then swelling indicates Qi damaging Form. Swelling then pain indicates Form damaging Qi.
Yin/Yang transformation, Root/Branch, Cold/Heat.
If severe Cold is treated with Heat herbs but remains cold, it indicates "No Fire" (Kidney Yang deficiency). Heat coming and going, day/night variation, seasonal occurrence indicates "No Fire." Treat by assisting Heart. Heart deficiency causes heat to retreat inward, so external heat is intermittent.
If severe Heat is treated with Cold herbs but remains hot, it indicates "No Water" (Kidney Yin deficiency). Cold shaking stopping suddenly, intermittent, indicates "No Water." Treat by assisting Kidney. Kidney deficiency causes internal cold shaking, so external cold is intermittent.
Internal rejection/vomiting, food cannot enter, indicates "Has Fire." Vomiting/regurgitation after long delay indicates "No Fire." Violent diarrhea, undigested food, indicates "Has Fire." Chronic loose stools, irregular onset, indicates "No Water."
Heart excess generates Heat; Kidney excess generates Cold. This is extreme Heart Fire causing fever, excessive Kidney Water causing cold, distinct from Deficient Heat/Cold.
Heat without cold indicates No Fire. Cold without heat response indicates No Water. Failure to respond to Cold treatment blames No Water. Failure to respond to Heat treatment blames No Fire. Brief effect of Heat treatment blames Heart Deficiency. Brief effect of Cold treatment blames Kidney Deficiency.
Heat not responding to Cold may be Cold overcoming Yang repelled externally (false Heat). Cold not responding to Heat may be Yang extreme resembling Yin, Fire rejecting Cold externally (false Cold).
Failure to resolve Cold blames Water source decline, Fire excess. Failure to resolve Heat blames Fire source decline, Water excess. Examine pathogenesis, do not miss Qi appropriateness, record in Water/Fire, other Qi can be inferred.
Women's diseases are numerous: Dai Xia (Leukorrhea) red/white, Lei Jia (Accumulation/Mass), Shan Han (Hernia). Women's diseases share Six Qi and Four Causes with men. Pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation diseases are too many to list. Red leukorrhea indicates Heat entering Small Intestine. White indicates Heat entering Large Intestine. Dysentery. Menstrual irregularity, Blood stasis forms Lei Jia. Lower abdominal swelling/hardness forms Shan Han diseases.
Blood/Qi pathology causes amenorrhea.
