一方∶用黑豆二台,炒熟,以酒烹入,滚数沸,去豆取酒,服二碗即愈。
一方∶以胡椒擂,用滚酒泡服,外用葱盐熨法。
一方∶用活雄鸡一只,以刀破腹,乘热合脐上效。
用食盐一斤炒干,大热用布二层盛裹熨脐,冷即易热者,上阳回即已。一法用
吴茱萸一升,酒略炒,煮湿以绢袋盛之,蒸极热,熨心腹及手足心。候气通畅则止,屡
效。一法治中寒不省人事,气虚阳脱,腹痛唇青。以葱一握,束缚如饼,切去根叶,
惟存二寸白许。先以火烙一遍,令通热勿灼,着病患脐上下,以熨斗熨之,令葱热气透
入腹内。更作三四饼,一饼坏,不堪熨,又易之。候患人手足温,有汗乃止。更作葱汤一
盛服良。
气海(一穴,在脐下一寸五分,厥阴脉微,灸二十壮。) 石门(一穴,在脐下二
寸。) 关元(一穴,在脐下三寸,治脏结不可攻者及阴汗不止,腹胀,肠鸣,面黑,
手指青者,宜灸百余壮。)
经曰∶阳虚生外寒。盖阳气不能外卫,所以恶寒。宜用参 之类,甚者加附子。
病久而恶寒者,亦宜解郁。丹溪云∶恶寒非寒,明是热证,亦有久服热药而
得者。河间谓火极似水,热甚而反觉自冷,实非寒也。有用解热剂而少愈者,盖辛能散,
郁火暂开耳。
丹溪医案治一壮年恶寒,自用附子药多,用吐痰法及养血清热而愈。
又治一饮酒人恶寒颤栗,湿热内郁,以黄 二两,干葛一两煎,饮之,大汗而愈。
一方:取黑豆二台,炒熟后,用酒烹煮,煮沸几滚,去掉豆渣只留药酒,服用两碗即可痊愈。
另一方:将胡椒研磨成浆,用滚烫的酒泡服,同时外用葱盐熨烫法。
再一方:取一只活雄鸡,用刀剖开腹部,趁热敷在患者肚脐上,效果显著。
用食盐一斤炒干,在大热时用两层布包裹着熨烫肚脐,变冷了就换成热的,直到阳气回复为止。另一种方法是用吴茱萸一升,略用酒炒过,煮湿后用绢袋盛装,蒸得极热,熨烫心腹及手足心。等到气机通畅就停止,屡试屡效。还有一种方法治疗中寒导致不省人事、气虚阳脱、腹痛唇青的症状。取一把葱,捆扎成饼状,切去根和叶,只保留约两寸长的白色部分。先用火烙一遍,使其通热但不要灼伤皮肤,贴在病患肚脐上下,用熨斗熨烫,使葱的热气透入腹内。再做三四个这样的葱饼,一个坏了或不能用了,就换一个。等到病人手脚变暖,有汗出才停止。另外煎煮一碗葱汤给病人服用,效果很好。
气海穴(一个穴位,位于脐下一寸五分,厥阴脉微弱时,灸二十壮。)石门穴(一个穴位,位于脐下二寸。)关元穴(一个穴位,位于脐下三寸,治疗脏结不可攻下的病症以及阴汗不止、腹胀、肠鸣、面色发黑、手指发青者,宜灸百余壮。)
经文说:阳虚产生外寒。因为阳气不能在外护卫体表,所以会出现恶寒症状。适宜用人参之类的药物,病情严重的加用附子。患病日久且恶寒的,也适宜疏解郁滞。朱丹溪说:恶寒并非真正的寒证,明明是热证,也有因长期服用热性药物而导致的。刘河间认为火极似水,热势极盛反而觉得身体发冷,实际上并不是寒证。有用清热剂治疗后稍微好转的案例,这是因为辛味药能发散,使郁结的火邪暂时得以宣散。
One prescription: Use two *tai* (a traditional unit of weight) of black soybeans (*Soybeanis Semen Nigrum*), stir-fry until cooked, cook with wine, boil for a few moments, remove the beans and retain the wine, drink two bowls to be cured.
Another prescription: Grind peppercorns (*Zanthoxyli Pericarpium*) into a paste, soak in boiling wine and drink; externally apply the method of ironing with scallions and salt.
Yet another prescription: Take one live rooster, cut open its abdomen with a knife, and apply it hot to the navel for efficacy.
Stir-fry one *jin* of edible salt until dry. When very hot, wrap it in two layers of cloth and iron the navel; replace with hot ones when cold, until Yang Qi recovers. Another method uses one *sheng* of Evodia Fruit (*Evodiae Fructus*), lightly stir-fried with wine, boiled until damp, placed in a silk bag, steamed until extremely hot, and used to iron the chest, abdomen, and palms/soles of feet. Stop when Qi flow becomes smooth; this has proven effective repeatedly. Another method treats severe cold invasion causing unconsciousness, Qi deficiency with Yang collapse, abdominal pain, and blueish lips. Take a handful of scallions (*Allii Fistulosi Bulbus*), bind them into a cake shape, cut off roots and leaves, retaining only about two cun of the white part. First, pass over fire once to make it thoroughly hot but not burning, place it above and below the patient's navel, and iron it with an ironing tool to let the scallion's heat penetrate into the abdomen. Make three or four such cakes; replace each one when it cools or loses effectiveness. Stop when the patient's hands and feet become warm and sweating occurs. Additionally, brew a bowl of scallion soup for the patient to drink, which is beneficial.
Qihai (CV6, one acupoint, located 1.5 cun below the umbilicus; moxibustion of twenty cones is indicated when the Jueyin pulse is faint.) Shimen (CV5, one acupoint, located 2 cun below the umbilicus.) Guanyuan (CV4, one acupoint, located 3 cun below the umbilicus; indicated for treating Zang-Jie [organ knotting] that cannot be purged, as well as continuous sweating from the genital area, abdominal distension, borborygmus, dark complexion, and bluish fingers; moxibustion of over one hundred cones is appropriate.)
The Classics state: Yang deficiency generates external cold. Because Yang Qi cannot defend the exterior, aversion to cold occurs. It is suitable to use herbs like Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (*Ginseng Radix*), and add Aconite Lateral Root Preparata (*Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata*) for severe cases. For those suffering from long-term illness with aversion to cold, resolving stagnation is also appropriate. Danxi said: Aversion to cold is not true cold; it is clearly a heat syndrome. There are also cases caused by prolonged consumption of hot-natured medicines. Hejian stated that extreme fire resembles water; when heat is excessive, one may feel cold internally, but it is actually not cold. Some cases improved slightly after using heat-clearing formulas, because pungent flavors can disperse, temporarily opening up stagnant fire.
Danxi's medical case record: Treated a young man with aversion to cold who had self-administered too many Aconite preparations. He was cured using phlegm-expelling methods and blood-nourishing with heat-clearing techniques.
He also treated a person who drank alcohol and suffered from aversion to cold and shivering due to internal stagnation of damp-heat. He prescribed Scutellaria Root (*Scutellariae Radix*) two liang and Kudzu Root (*Puerariae Lobatae Radix*) one liang, decocted and drunk, resulting in profuse sweating and cure.
