脉
疟脉自弦。弦数者多热，宜汗之；弦迟者多寒，宜温之；弦紧
宜下；浮大宜吐；弦短者伤食；弦滑者多痰；虚微无力为久病；洪数无力为虚；代散则死。
证
夫疟有风疟、暑疟、湿疟、食疟、痰疟、疟母，诸疟之不同，不过风、寒、暑、湿之外感，七情、五
味之内伤之所致也。然内外失守，真邪不分，阴阳偏胜，寒热交攻，乃成疟也。有一日一发，有二日一发，
有三日一发，有间一日连二日发，气血俱受病。有夜与日各发，有发于午前，有发于午后。其始发之时，欠
伸，畏寒战栗，头痛，或渴，或先寒后热，或先热后寒，或单寒不热，或单热不寒，或寒少热多，或寒多热少。
治
治疗之法，当先发散外邪。有有汗，有无汗。无汗者要有汗，散邪为主；有汗者要无汗，扶正为主。然
散邪扶正，病不退者，又须分利阴阳，以柴苓汤最效。甚者或以截药而除之，不二饮、胜金
丸之类截之。不愈，乃气血大虚，要扶胃气为本，露姜养胃汤、养胃丹之类。又有绵延不休，弥 越岁，汗、
吐、下过，荣卫亏损，邪气伏藏胁间，结为症癖，谓之疟母， 疟饮，黄甲丸之类。盖疟有新久浅深，治有
缓急次序，宜以脉症参验，量其虚实而疗之。《机要》谓太阳经为寒疟，治多汗之；阳明经为热疟，治多下之；少
阳经为风疟，治多和之。此三阳受病，谓之暴疟。在夏至后，处暑前，乃伤之浅者。在三阳经则总之为寒疟。
在处暑后，冬至前，乃伤之重者。其三阴经疟，作于子午卯酉日者，少阴疟；作于寅申巳
亥日者，厥阴疟；作于辰戌丑未日者，太阴疟也。
一凡疟方来，正发不可服药，服药在于未发两时之先。不则药病交争，转为深害，当戒之。
一平素虚弱，兼以劳役内伤，挟感外邪；以致疟疾。寒热交作，肢体倦怠，乏力少气，以补中益气汤
加黄芩、芍药、半夏。有汗及寒重，加桂枝，倍黄 ；热甚加柴胡、黄 ；渴加麦门冬、天花粉。
一久疟，乃属元气虚弱。盖气虚则寒，血虚则热，胃虚则恶寒，脾虚则发热。阴火下流，则寒热交作，
或吐涎不食，泄泻腹痛，手足逆冷，寒栗鼓颔。若误投以清脾截疟二饮，多致不起。
一疟后饮食少进，四肢无力，面色萎黄，身体虚弱，以四君子汤合二陈汤，加姜炒黄连、麸炒枳实，煎服。
一凡疟后，大汗出者，乃荣血不足之候，以人参养荣汤主之。

脉象
疟疾的脉象自然呈现弦脉。弦而数的脉象多表现为热证，适宜采用发汗法治疗；弦而迟的脉象多表现为寒证，适宜采用温里法治疗；弦紧的脉象适宜采用攻下法；浮大的脉象适宜采用涌吐法；弦而短的脉象提示伤食；弦滑的脉象提示多痰；脉象虚微无力提示病程已久；洪大数而无力提示虚证；出现代脉或散脉则预后不良，主死证。
证候
疟疾分为风疟、暑疟、湿疟、食疟、痰疟、疟母等，各种疟疾的不同表现，不过是风、寒、暑、湿等外感邪气，以及七情内伤、饮食五味失调所致。然而内外正气失守，真邪混杂不分，阴阳偏盛，寒热相互交攻，从而形成疟疾。有的每日发作一次，有的隔日发作一次，有的三日发作一次，有的间隔一天后连续两天发作，这是气血都受到病邪侵害的表现。有的在夜间和白天各发作一次，有的在午前发作，有的在午后发作。在刚开始发作时，会有呵欠伸懒腰、怕冷战栗、头痛，或者口渴，或者先冷后热，或者先热后冷，或者只有寒冷没有发热，或者只有发热没有寒冷，或者寒冷少而发热多，或者寒冷多而发热少。
治法
治疗的方法，应当先发散外邪。患者有出汗的，也有不出汗的。不出汗的要使其出汗，以散邪为主；出汗的要使其止汗，以扶正为主。然而散邪扶正之后，如果病邪不退，又必须分清阴阳，使用柴苓汤最为有效。病情严重的，可以用截疟药来消除它，如不二饮、胜金丸之类进行截断治疗。如果仍不痊愈，说明气血大虚，要以扶持胃气为根本，使用露姜养胃汤、养胃丹之类。又有疟疾绵延不休，超过一年，经过汗、吐、下法治疗后，营卫亏损，邪气潜伏藏在胁间，结聚成症癖，称为疟母，使用疟饮、黄甲丸之类。大概疟疾有新久浅深之分，治疗有缓急次序，应当结合脉象和症状进行参验，衡量其虚实情况来治疗。《机要》说太阳经受邪为寒疟，治疗多用发汗法；阳明经受邪为热疟，治疗多用攻下法；少阳经受邪为风疟，治疗多用和解法。这三阳经受病，称为暴疟。在夏至后、处暑前发病，是感受邪气较浅的。在三阳经发病的总称为寒疟。在处暑后、冬至前发病，是感受邪气较重的。三阴经的疟疾，在子、午、卯、酉日发作的是少阴疟；在寅、申、巳、亥日发作的是厥阴疟；在辰、戌、丑、未日发作的是太阴疟。
注意事项一：凡是疟疾将要发作时，正值发作期间不可服药，服药应在未发作前的两个时辰之前。否则药与病邪交争，转为更深的危害，应当戒除这一点。
注意事项二：平素身体虚弱，加上劳累内伤，夹杂感受外邪，导致疟疾。寒热交替发作，肢体倦怠，乏力少气，使用补中益气汤加黄芩、芍药、半夏。如果有汗且恶寒重，加桂枝，加倍黄芪；热甚加柴胡、黄芩；口渴加麦门冬、天花粉。
注意事项三：久疟，属于元气虚弱。气虚则生寒，血虚则生热，胃虚则恶寒，脾虚则发热。阴火下流，则寒热交替发作，或者吐涎水不进食，泄泻腹痛，手足逆冷，寒战咬牙。如果误投清脾饮、截疟饮，多会导致死亡。
注意事项四：疟疾后饮食减少，四肢无力，面色萎黄，身体虚弱，使用四君子汤合二陈汤，加姜炒黄连、麸炒枳实，煎服。
注意事项五：凡是疟疾后，大汗出的，是营血不足的征候，用人参养荣汤主治。

Pulse
The pulse of malaria (Malaria) naturally presents as a string-like pulse (Xian Mai, String-taut Pulse). A string-like and rapid pulse indicates heat syndrome, suitable for diaphoresis (Diaphoresis); a string-like and slow pulse indicates cold syndrome, suitable for warming therapy (Warming Therapy); a string-like and tight pulse is suitable for purgation (Purgation); a floating and large pulse is suitable for emesis (Emesis); a string-like and short pulse suggests food stagnation (Food Stagnation); a string-like and slippery pulse suggests phlegm (Phlegm); a deficient, minute, and forceless pulse indicates chronic illness; a flooding, rapid, and forceless pulse indicates deficiency; the appearance of a intermittent pulse (Dai Mai, Intermittent Pulse) or a scattered pulse (San Mai, Scattered Pulse) indicates a fatal prognosis.
Symptoms
Malaria is classified into wind malaria (Wind Malaria), summerheat malaria (Summerheat Malaria), dampness malaria (Dampness Malaria), food malaria (Food Malaria), phlegm malaria (Phlegm Malaria), and malaria mass (Malaria Mass). The differences among various types of malaria are merely caused by external contraction of wind, cold, summerheat, and dampness, and internal injury from the seven emotions (Seven Emotions) and improper diet (Five Flavors). However, when internal and external defenses fail, true qi and pathogenic factors mix indistinguishably, yin and yang become imbalanced with excess, and cold and heat attack each other, resulting in malaria. It may occur once daily, every other day, every three days, or after an interval of one day followed by two consecutive days of发作, indicating that both qi and blood are affected. It may occur at night and day, before noon, or after noon. At the onset, there are yawning and stretching, aversion to cold with shivering, headache, thirst, or alternating chills and fever (Chills and Fever), or chills preceding fever, or fever preceding chills, or only chills without fever, or only fever without chills, or less chills with more fever, or more chills with less fever.
Treatment Principles
The treatment method should first focus on dispersing external pathogenic factors. Patients may have sweating or no sweating. For those without sweating, inducing sweating to disperse pathogens is primary; for those with sweating, stopping sweating and supporting healthy qi (Zheng Qi, Healthy Qi) is primary. However, if the disease does not recede after dispersing pathogens and supporting healthy qi, it is necessary to differentiate yin and yang, using Chai Ling Tang (Bupleurum and Poria Decoction) which is most effective. For severe cases, antimalarial drugs can be used to eliminate the disease, such as Bu Er Yin (Two-Not Decoction) and Sheng Jin Wan (Win Gold Pill). If still unhealed, it indicates severe deficiency of qi and blood, so supporting stomach qi (Stomach Qi) becomes fundamental, using Lu Jiang Yang Wei Tang (Dew Ginger Stomach-Nourishing Decoction) and Yang Wei Dan (Stomach-Nourishing Pill). For lingering malaria lasting over a year, after excessive use of sweating, vomiting, and purging methods, leading to depletion of Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) qi, with pathogenic factors hiding between the hypochondrium and forming masses called malaria mass (Malaria Mass), use Nie Yin (Malaria Drink) and Huang Jia Wan (Yellow Shell Pill). Generally, malaria has new/old and shallow/deep distinctions, and treatment has urgency and sequence. One must combine pulse and symptom analysis, assess deficiency and excess, and treat accordingly. *Ji Yao* states: Taiyang channel involvement causes cold malaria, treated mostly with diaphoresis; Yangming channel involvement causes heat malaria, treated mostly with purgation; Shaoyang channel involvement causes wind malaria, treated mostly with harmonization. These three yang channels involved are called acute malaria (Acute Malaria). Onset after Summer Solstice and before Limit of Heat indicates shallow infection. Involvement of the three yang channels is generally termed cold malaria. Onset after Limit of Heat and before Winter Solstice indicates heavy infection. Malaria of the three yin channels occurring on Zi, Wu, Mao, You days is Shaoyin malaria; on Yin, Shen, Si, Hai days is Jueyin malaria; on Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei days is Taiyin malaria.
Precautions I: When malaria is about to发作, do not administer medicine during the active phase. Medication should be taken two hours before the expected发作. Otherwise, medicine and pathogen will contend, causing deeper harm. This must be avoided.
Precautions II: For those constitutionally weak, compounded by labor-induced internal injury and external pathogenic contraction leading to malaria, with alternating chills and fever, limb fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root), Shao Yao (Peony Root), and Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber). If sweating and severe aversion to cold, add Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) and double Huang Qi (Astragalus Root); if severe heat, add Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root) and Huang Qin; if thirsty, add Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) and Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthes Root).
Precautions III: Chronic malaria belongs to yuan qi (Primal Qi) deficiency. Qi deficiency generates cold, blood deficiency generates heat, stomach deficiency causes aversion to cold, spleen deficiency causes fever. Yin fire flowing downward causes alternating chills and fever, or spitting saliva and anorexia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, cold extremities, and chattering teeth. Misusing Qing Pi Yin (Clear Spleen Decoction) or Jie Nue Yin (Antimalarial Decoction) often leads to death.
Precautions IV: After malaria, with reduced appetite, limb weakness, sallow complexion, and body debility, use Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) combined with Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction), added with Ginger-fried Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) and Bran-fried Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange), decocted and taken orally.
Precautions V: After malaria, profuse sweating indicates deficiency of Ying blood (Ying Blood), treated primarily with Ren Shen Yang Rong Tang (Ginseng Nourishing Ying Decoction).
