论曰盛夏炎热，人多冒涉路途，热毒易伤，微者客于阳经，令人呕逆头眩，心神懊闷，
汗出恶寒，身热发渴，实时不治，乃至热气伏留经络，岁久不除，遇热即发，俗号暑气。甚
者热毒入内，与五脏相并，客邪炽盛，郁瘀不宣，致阴气猝绝，阳气曝隔，经络不通，故奄
然闷绝，谓之中 。此乃外邪所击，真脏未坏，若遇救疗，气通则苏，但治热 ，不可以冷
物，得冷则不救，盖外以冷触，其热蕴积于内，不得宣发故也。
论曰热 之病，由冒犯暑热邪气也。其脉弦细芤迟，其状汗出恶寒，身热而渴，体重疼
痛，小便已则洒洒然毛耸，四肢厥冷，微劳动即热，口开齿燥，经所谓脉虚身热，是为伤暑，
此不可汗下。汗之则恶寒甚，加温针则发热甚，数下之则淋甚，宜以去热邪之药治之。

论述说：盛夏时节天气炎热，人们常常冒着酷暑赶路，热毒容易侵袭人体。病情较轻的，邪气客居在阳经，导致人呕吐、逆气上冲、头晕目眩，心中烦乱郁闷，出汗且怕冷，身体发热并感到口渴；如果当时不及时治疗，热气就会潜伏滞留于经络之中，长年累月无法消除，遇到热天就会发作，民间称为“暑气”。病情严重的，热毒深入体内，与五脏相搏结，外来的邪气炽盛，郁结瘀滞不得宣散，导致阴气突然断绝，阳气暴然阻隔，经络不通畅，因此人会突然昏闷窒息，这被称为“中暍”（中暑）。这是由外邪袭击所致，真脏之气并未败坏，如果遇到救治调理，气机通畅就能苏醒。但治疗中暍时，不可以使用冷物，因为一旦受冷就无法救治了，这是因为外部用冷物刺激，会使体内的热蕴积在内，无法宣发散发出去。
论述说：中暍这种病，是由于冒犯暑热邪气引起的。其脉象弦细、芤迟，症状表现为出汗、怕冷、身体发热且口渴、身体沉重疼痛，小便结束后感觉皮肤粟起发冷，四肢厥冷，稍微活动就发热，张口呼吸、牙齿干燥。经书所说脉虚身热，这就是伤暑，这种情况不可使用发汗或攻下的治法。如果发汗，怕冷的症状会加重；如果加用温针，发热症状会加重；如果多次攻下，淋证（小便不利）会加重，适宜用去除热邪的药物来治疗。

It is said: In the height of summer when it is hot, people often travel on roads exposed to the heat, and Heat-Toxin (Re Du) easily injures the body. If mild, the pathogen lodges in the Yang Meridians (Yang Jing), causing vomiting, rebellious Qi, dizziness, mental restlessness and depression, sweating with aversion to cold, fever and thirst. If not treated promptly at that time, the Heat will remain latent in the meridians for years without being eliminated, flaring up whenever it is hot, commonly known as "Summer-Qi" (Shu Qi). If severe, the Heat-Toxin enters the interior and combines with the Five Zang Organs. The exogenous pathogen becomes vigorous, leading to stagnation and stasis that cannot be dispersed, resulting in the sudden cessation of Yin Qi and the abrupt blockage of Yang Qi, with unpatency of the meridians and collaterals. Thus, one suddenly falls into a state of coma and suffocation, which is called "Zhong Yue" (Heat Stroke). This is caused by the attack of exogenous pathogens, while the True Zang Qi remains intact. If rescue treatment is received, recovery occurs once Qi circulation is restored. However, in treating Zhong Yue, cold substances must not be used; if cold is applied, it is incurable. This is because external application of cold causes the internal Heat to accumulate and prevents its dispersion.
It is said: The disease of Zhong Yue arises from exposure to Summer-Heat Pathogenic Factors. The pulse is wiry, thin, hollow, or slow. Symptoms include sweating, aversion to cold, fever, thirst, heaviness and pain in the body, chills and piloerection after urination, coldness of the four limbs, fever upon slight exertion, open mouth, and dry teeth. As stated in the classics, a deficient pulse with fever indicates Summer-Heat Injury. In such cases, sweating and purging methods are contraindicated. Sweating will worsen the aversion to cold; applying warm needle therapy will exacerbate the fever; frequent purging will intensify strangury (Lin syndrome). It is appropriate to treat with herbs that eliminate Heat Pathogens.
