(论述一篇)
论述说:喉咙是脾胃功能的外在征候。(喉咙重十二两,长一尺二寸,宽二寸。其结构有十二层环绕,对应一年十二个时辰)。它主要主管水谷通道的通畅,以及神气的往来运行。如果脏腑有热,喉咙就会肿胀堵塞,气息不通,可用乌膏治疗(方剂见第六卷中)。
如果腑脏有寒,喉咙就会感觉如有异物梗塞,经常想要窒息,伴有瘙痒、麻痹及涎唾增多。可用母姜酒治疗(方剂见第六卷中)。热证则用开泄法,寒证则用通散法,若不热不寒,则根据脏腑情况进行调理。

(One section on discussion)
Discussion states: The throat is the external indicator of the Spleen and Stomach. (It weighs 12 liang, is 1 chi 2 cun long, and 2 cun wide. Its circumference consists of twelve layers, corresponding to the twelve hours of the day). It primarily governs the smooth passage of water and food, and the circulation of Shen Qi (Spiritual Energy). If the Zang organs are hot, the throat will swell and obstruct, preventing Qi flow; this is treated with Wu Gao (Black Ointment) (see Prescription in Volume VI).
If the Fu organs are cold, the throat will feel as if something is stuck there, often causing a sensation of suffocation, itching, numbness, and excessive saliva/phlegm; this is treated with Mu Jiang Jiu (Mother Ginger Wine) (see Prescription in Volume VI). For heat conditions, use dispersing/opening methods; for cold conditions, use unblocking/warming methods. If neither hot nor cold, regulate according to the Zang organ status.
