大惑论帝曰∶人之善忘者，何气使然？岐伯曰∶上气不足，下气有余，肠胃实而心气虚，
则荣卫留于下，久之不以时上，故善忘也。
《病源》云∶健忘者，谓事有始无终，言谈不知首尾。又健忘者，陡然而忘其事也。此证
皆由忧思过度，损
其心胞，以致神舍不清，遇事多忘。然过思伤脾，亦能令人健忘。治之须兼理心脾，神凝意定，
其证能自除矣。
脉涩为血少。滑主有痰在膈间。心脉洪大而散主有火，宜清之。脾胃脉或微而涩，或弦细，
皆不足也。
健忘由劳心血耗，神不内守，故卒然而遂忘。宜养血，则心气自足而神自安，何健忘之
有？过思伤脾，痰涎郁滞，虑愈深而忘愈健，宜理脾寡欲，则痰涎既豁而神斯清，何健忘之有？

《大惑论》中黄帝问：人之所以容易健忘，是什么气机导致的？岐伯回答：上部之气不足，下部之气有余，肠胃充实而心气虚弱，则营卫之气滞留于下，长时间不能按时上行，所以容易健忘。
《诸病源候论》说：所谓健忘，是指做事有始无终，说话不知首尾。又一种健忘，是突然忘记了自己的事情。这种病症都是由忧思过度，损伤了心包络，导致神志居所不清爽，遇事多遗忘。然而过度思虑也会伤脾，同样能使人健忘。治疗时必须兼顾调理心脾，使神志凝定，意念专注，此证自然能消除。
脉象涩表示血少。滑脉主胸膈间有痰。心脉洪大而散，主内有火，宜用清热法。脾胃脉若微而涩，或弦细，均属不足之象。
健忘是由于劳伤心血耗损，神气不能内守，所以突然就忘记了。宜养血，则心气自然充足而神志安宁，哪里还会有健忘呢？过度思虑伤脾，痰涎郁滞，忧虑越深反而忘得越厉害，宜调理脾胃、减少欲望，则痰涎既已豁除而神志清明，哪里还会有健忘呢？

Zhusha Gutan Wan (Cinnabar Rolling Phlegm Pill): Treats phlegm-fluid retention in the chest and diaphragm, and is suitable for obese individuals. This Gutan Wan is coated with Zhusha (Cinnabar). Take 50–70 pills per dose, swallowed with warm water. (See the "Phlegm-Fluid" section for the formula details.)

Another prescription: Treats sudden bleeding from the nine orifices due to fright. Drink well-water (Jinghua Shui), and the bleeding on the face will stop immediately.
In the *Da Huo Lun* (Treatise on Great Confusion), the Yellow Emperor asked: What qi mechanism causes people to be prone to forgetfulness? Qibo answered: Insufficiency of upper qi and excess of lower qi; fullness in the intestines and stomach with deficiency of heart qi. When Ying and Wei (nutritive and defensive qi) remain stagnant below and fail to ascend to the upper body in time, forgetfulness occurs.
The *Bingyuan* (Source of Diseases) states: Forgetfulness refers to starting tasks without finishing them, or speaking without knowing the beginning or end. Another form of forgetfulness is suddenly forgetting one's own affairs. These conditions arise from excessive worry and overthinking, which damage the Pericardium, causing the residence of the Shen (Spirit) to become unclear, leading to frequent forgetting when encountering events. However, excessive thinking also damages the Spleen, which can likewise cause forgetfulness. Treatment must simultaneously regulate the Heart and Spleen; when the Shen is concentrated and the Yi (Intellect) is settled, the condition will resolve spontaneously.
A choppy pulse indicates blood deficiency. A slippery pulse indicates phlegm in the chest and diaphragm. A large, surging, and scattered Heart pulse indicates internal heat/fire, which should be cleared. If the Spleen and Stomach pulses are faint and choppy, or wiry and thin, they all indicate insufficiency.
Forgetfulness results from the depletion of Heart blood due to overwork, causing the Shen to fail to remain within. Thus, one suddenly forgets. Nourishing the blood will naturally restore Heart qi and calm the Shen, eliminating forgetfulness. Excessive thinking damages the Spleen, causing stagnation of phlegm-saliva; the deeper the anxiety, the more severe the forgetfulness. Regulating the Spleen and reducing desires will clear the phlegm-saliva and clarify the Shen, thereby eliminating forgetfulness.
