普家女子,二十三岁。大凡吐血,若左脉坚搏有力,病治在下焦血分;右脉坚搏有力,病治在上焦气分。又有心血、肝血、大肠血、小肠血、胃血、冲脉血等不同来源,岂能一见出血就投用寒凉药物来治疗呢?难怪室女童男患劳瘵干血证者甚多,体质肥胖面色白,少腹疼痛,小便短赤,咳吐紫黑色瘀血,随后出现鲜红色血液,喉中感觉咸味,这是冲脉遭受寒邪侵袭,导致经血不能正常运行,倒逆而上所致吐血罢了。大忌柔润寒凉之品,议定采用温镇冲脉的方法,化解行至阴分的瘀浊,使经血得以正常运行,则血症痊愈。采用苦辛通法。

Patient Wang. The pulse is wiry and hard like a blade. After hematemesis, there is slight pain in the left hypochondrium and a sensation of obstruction in the throat. Treatment focuses on unblocking the liver collaterals; if blood does not stagnate, hematemesis will cease. After cessation, yin-nourishing tonification should be administered.

Miss Pu, aged 23. Generally, for hematemesis, if the left pulse is firm and pounding, the disease lies in the lower jiao blood level; if the right pulse is firm and pounding, the disease lies in the upper jiao qi level. There are also differences among Heart blood, Liver blood, Large Intestine blood, Small Intestine blood, Stomach blood, and Chong Mai blood. How can one simply administer cooling agents upon seeing blood? No wonder cases of consumptive dry-blood syndrome in unmarried women and boys are numerous: they have a fat body, white complexion, lower abdominal pain, short dark urine, coughing up purple-black stasis blood, followed by fresh red blood, and a salty taste in the throat. This is due to cold pathogen invading the Chong Mai, causing menstrual blood to fail to flow normally and regurgitate upwards as hematemesis. Greasy, moistening, and cold-cooling substances are strictly contraindicated. The proposed treatment is to warm and anchor the Chong Mai, resolving stasis and turbidity in the yin levels, allowing menstrual blood to flow normally, thus curing the blood disorder. Employ the Bitter-Acrid Unblocking Method.
