论述：乳石药性发动，气机上冲至头面部，并伴有身体高热症状。这是由于房事过度，导致脏腑气机痞塞不通，气血无法宣通所致。服用乳石的人，是因为它能抵御风寒、驱除冷湿、疏通经脉、增进饮食。然而，若人体阴盛阳虚，乳石的燥热之气便会显露发作，这就是热气上冲头面及身体的原因。

Discussion: When the properties of Rushi (Mineral Drugs) are activated, qi ascends to the head and face, accompanied by high fever throughout the body. This is caused by excessive sexual activity, leading to stagnation in the Zang-Fu organs and obstruction of Qi circulation. Those who take Rushi do so because it can ward off wind-cold, dispel cold-dampness, unblock meridians, and promote appetite. However, if Yin is excessive and Yang is deficient, the dry-heat nature of the mineral drugs will manifest and flare up; this is why heat rushes to the head, face, and body.
