病源霍乱而大吐下后，其肠胃俱虚，乃至汗出，其脉欲绝，手足皆冷，名为四逆，四逆者，谓阴阳卒厥绝也。（出第二十二卷中）
在霍乱病剧烈呕吐和腹泻之后，患者的肠胃功能都变得虚弱，甚至出现出汗、脉搏微弱几乎摸不到、手脚冰冷的症状，这被称为“四逆”（四肢厥冷证）。所谓“四逆”，是指阴阳之气突然闭塞不通。
仲景伤寒论，既吐且痢而大汗出，小便复利，或下利消谷，里寒外热，脉微欲绝，或发热恶寒，四肢拘急手足厥逆者，四逆汤主之方。
根据张仲景的《伤寒论》，如果患者既有呕吐又有腹泻，并且大量出汗，小便反而通利，或者腹泻排出未消化的食物，体内寒冷体外发热，脉搏微弱几乎摸不到，或者出现发热怕冷、四肢抽搐拘紧、手脚冰凉的症状，应当使用四逆汤（回阳救逆剂）来主治。
甘草（二两炙） 附子（一枚生） 干姜（一两半）
以上三味药切碎，用水三升，煮取一升二合药液，滤去药渣，分两次温服。加减用法依照后面的方法。忌食海藻、白菜、猪肉。（与《千金方》相同）
又吐已下断，汗出厥冷，四肢拘急不解，脉微欲绝者，通脉四逆汤主之方。
另外，如果呕吐和腹泻已经停止，但仍有出汗、手脚冰冷，四肢抽搐拘紧不能缓解，脉搏微弱几乎摸不到的情况，应当使用通脉四逆汤（通达脉理的四逆汤）来主治。
甘草（二两炙） 大附子（一枚） 干姜（三两炮）
以上三味药，用水三升，煮取一升二合药液，滤去药渣，分两次温服。如果脉搏恢复则病愈。如果面色发红，加葱九根；如果腹部疼痛，去掉葱，加芍药二两；如果呕吐，加生姜二两；如果咽喉痛，去掉芍药，加桔梗一两；如果腹泻停止但脉搏仍不出，去掉桔梗，加人参二两。病症与方剂相应，才合并服用。如果呕吐腹泻停止，但身体疼痛不止，应斟酌和解其表邪，《伤寒论》中还有治疗各种发热霍乱的方子，请仔细选取。忌食海藻、白菜、猪肉。（《伤寒论》上证合用通脉四逆加猪胆汤：若呕吐腹泻停止，身体疼痛不止，应斟酌和解其表邪，适宜用桂枝汤轻微调和，均出自第十七卷）
短剧扶老理中散，并作丸长服亦得，疗羸老冷气恶心，食饮不化，腹虚满，拘急短气，及霍乱呕逆，四肢厥冷，心烦气闷流汗，悉主之方。
《短剧方》中的扶老理中散，制成丸剂长期服用也可以，用于治疗体弱老人的寒气、恶心、饮食不消化、腹部虚胀、拘紧短气，以及霍乱引起的呕吐逆气、手脚冰凉、心烦胸闷出汗等症状，全部主治。
人参（五两） 干姜（六两） 白术（五两） 麦门冬（三两去心） 附子（三两炮） 茯苓（三两） 甘草（五两炙）
以上七味药做成散剂，发病时煮取三合白开水，调和一方寸匕的药粉服用。一次服用无效，再服用。平时可将药蜜炼成丸，酒送服，每次二十丸如梧桐子大小。忌食海藻、白菜、猪肉、桃李、雀肉、大醋。（与《千金方》相同，出自第四卷）
千金四逆汤，主多寒，手足厥冷，脉绝方。
《千金方》中的四逆汤，主治寒气重、手脚冰凉、脉搏摸不到的情况。
吴茱萸（二升） 当归（三两） 桂心（三两） 芍药（三两） 细辛（二两） 通草（二两）
生姜（八两） 甘草（二两炙） 大枣（十二枚）
以上九味药切碎，用水六升、清酒六升，混合煮取三升药液，分四次温服。原方中大枣二十五枚，现在因为霍乱病容易痞塞，所以去掉大枣。如果去掉大枣加入葛根二两更好。忌食生葱、生菜、海藻、白菜。（与《短剧方》相同，《伤寒论》此方名当归四逆加吴茱萸生姜汤）
Source: *Wai Tai Mi Yao* (Essential Prescriptions from the Imperial Library), Author: Wang Tao, Dynasty: Tang (Tianbao 11th Year). Chapter: Four Formulas for Pulse Absence and Cold Extremities after Cholera. Category: Formulas.
After severe vomiting and diarrhea in cholera, both the stomach and intestines become deficient, leading to sweating, a pulse that is about to vanish, and cold hands and feet. This is named "Si Ni" (Four Reversals/Cold Extremities Syndrome). "Si Ni" refers to the sudden obstruction of Yin and Yang Qi. (From Volume 22)
According to Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage), if there is simultaneous vomiting and dysentery with profuse sweating, urination becomes frequent or clear, or there is diarrhea with undigested food, internal cold with external heat, a faint pulse nearly absent, or fever with aversion to cold, limb stiffness and cramping with cold extremities, Si Ni Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction/Recovery Decoction - Note: In this context, it refers to Fu Zi Tang variant for Yang collapse) should be used as the primary formula.
Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, 2 liang), Fuzi (Aconite Root, raw, 1 piece), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 1.5 liang).
Chop the above three ingredients, boil in 3 sheng of water to obtain 1.2 sheng of liquid, remove the dregs, and take warm in two divided doses. Modifications follow the methods below. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, and pork. (Same as *Qian Jin Fang*)
Furthermore, if vomiting and diarrhea have ceased but sweating persists with cold extremities, limb stiffness and cramping do not resolve, and the pulse is faint and nearly absent, Tong Mai Si Ni Tang (Pulse-Regulating Si Ni Decoction) should be used as the primary formula.
Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, 2 liang), Da Fuzi (Large Aconite Root, 1 piece), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, roasted, 3 liang).
Boil the above three ingredients in 3 sheng of water to obtain 1.2 sheng of liquid, remove the dregs, and take warm in two divided doses. If the pulse returns, the patient will recover. If the face is red, add 9 stalks of Congbai (Scallion White). If there is abdominal pain, remove Congbai and add Shaoyao (Peony Root, 2 liang). If there is vomiting, add Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger, 2 liang). If there is a sore throat, remove Shaoyao and add Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 1 liang). If diarrhea stops but the pulse does not appear, remove Jiegeng and add Renshen (Ginseng Root, 2 liang). When the symptoms correspond to the formula, combine and administer. If vomiting and diarrhea stop but body pain persists, consider harmonizing the exterior. The *Shanghan Lun* also contains formulas for treating various febrile choleras; select them carefully. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, and pork. (Combined with Tong Mai Si Ni Tang plus Pig Bile Decoction for upper syndromes in *Shanghan Lun*: If vomiting/diarrhea stop and body pain persists, harmonize the exterior with Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) gently. Both from Volume 17)
Fu Lao Li Zhong San (Elderly-Supporting Spleen-Harmonizing Powder) from *Duan Ju Fang*, can also be made into pills for long-term use. It treats cold qi, nausea, indigestion, abdominal distension due to deficiency, stiffness, shortness of breath, as well as vomiting and reverse flow of qi from cholera, cold extremities, mental restlessness, chest oppression, and sweating. It addresses all these conditions.
Renshen (Ginseng Root, 5 liang), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 6 liang), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 5 liang), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 3 liang, heart removed), Fuzi (Aconite Root, roasted, 3 liang), Fuling (Poria, 3 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, 5 liang).
Grind the above seven ingredients into powder. At onset of illness, boil 3 ge of plain water, mix with one cun bi (square inch spoonful) of powder. If one dose is ineffective, take another. For maintenance, make honey pills and take with wine, 20 pills per dose, size of wutong seeds. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, pork, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, and strong vinegar. (Same as *Qian Jin Fang*, from Volume 4)
Qian Jin Si Ni Tang (Million Gold Si Ni Decoction) from *Qian Jin Fang*, treats excessive cold, cold extremities, and absent pulse.
Wuzhuyu (Evodia Fruit, 2 sheng), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root, 3 liang), Guixin (Cinnamon Bark, 3 liang), Shaoyao (Peony Root, 3 liang), Xixin (Asarum Root, 2 liang), Tongcao (Tetrapanax Pith, 2 liang), Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger, 8 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, 2 liang), Dazao (Jujube, 12 pieces).
Chop the above nine ingredients, boil in 6 sheng of water and 6 sheng of clear wine to obtain 3 sheng of liquid, divide into four warm doses. The original formula uses 25 jujubes, but they are removed here because cholera often causes stagnation/blockage. Adding Gegen (Kudzu Root, 2 liang) instead of jujubes is better. Avoid raw green onions, raw vegetables, seaweed, and Chinese cabbage. (Same as *Duan Ju Fang*; in *Shanghan Lun*, this formula is named Dang Gui Si Ni Jia Wu Zhu Yu Sheng Jiang Tang [Angelica Sinensis Pulse-Regulating Decoction plus Evodia and Fresh Ginger])
