内经曰。寒淫于内。治以甘热。佐以苦辛。吴茱萸生姜之辛以温胃。人参大枣之甘

娄氏云。得汤反剧者。火也。当用生姜黄连治之。

王三阳云。此处五苓散难用。不然。经文渴字上。当有缺文也。
脉阳微而汗出少者。为自和也。汗出多者为太过。
脉阳微者。邪气少。汗出少者为适当。故自和。汗出多者。反损正气。是汗出太过
也。
阳脉实。因发其汗。出多者亦为太过。太过为阳绝于里。亡津液。大便因硬也。
阳脉实者。表热甚也。因发汗。热乘虚蒸。津液外泄。致汗出太过。汗出多者亡其

脉浮而芤。浮为阳。芤为阴。浮芤相搏。胃气生热。其阳则绝。
浮芤相搏。阴阳不谐。胃气独治。郁而生热。消烁津液。其阳为绝。
趺阳脉浮而涩。浮则胃气强。涩则小便数。浮涩相搏。大便则难。其脾为约。麻仁

趺阳者。脾胃之脉。诊浮为阳。知胃气强。涩为阴。知脾为约。约者。俭约之约。
又约束之约。内经曰。饮入于胃。游溢精气。上输于脾。脾气散精。上归于肺。通调水

吴茱萸(一升,洗净,味辛、性热) 人参(三两,味甘、性温) 生姜(六两,切片,味辛、性温) 大枣(十二枚,掰开,味甘、性温)
以上四味药。用水七升。煮取药液二升。滤去药渣。每次温服七合。每日服用三次。
《内经》说:寒邪侵袭体内,治疗应用甘热之品。辅以苦辛之品。吴茱萸和生姜的辛味可以温胃。人参和大枣的甘味可以缓脾。
娄氏说:如果服药后病情反而加重,这是火证。应当用生姜和黄连来治疗。
太阳病(太阳经受邪所致的病证),寸脉缓、关脉浮、尺脉弱。病人发热,出汗,又怕冷,不呕吐,只是心下痞塞。这是因为医生误用攻下法所致。如果未经过攻下,病人不怕冷而口渴,这是病邪转属阳明(阳明经病变)。小便频数的人,大便必定干硬。即使十天不大便,也没有痛苦。想喝水,少量给予饮水,仅按法则救治。口渴者,适宜用五苓散(利水渗湿方剂)。
太阳病,脉象阳部浮、阴部弱,说明邪气在表。现在寸脉缓、关脉浮、尺脉弱,说明邪气逐渐传入里。那么发热、出汗、又恶寒,说明表证未解。传入经络的邪气入里,里气不和必然呕吐。这里不呕吐,只是心下痞塞,是因为医生过早使用攻下法,邪气留滞于心下。如果没有经过攻下,病人必然逐渐不再怕冷而口渴。太阳病的邪气,转属阳明。如果在吐、下、发汗之后,小便频数,大便干硬,应当给予小承气汤(轻下热结方剂)以调和。这里不是因为吐、下、发汗后导致的小便频数、大便干硬。如果没有胀满实证,即使十天不大便,也没有痛苦。等待津液回归胃中,小便次数减少,大便自然会排出。想喝水的人,少量给予饮水,以滋润胃气。只要审察邪气所在之处,按法则救治。如口渴不止,给予五苓散即可。
张兼善说:十天不大便却不用攻伐之法,为什么呢?回答说:这不是结热,而是津液不足。对于不便秘的情况,如果有潮热、谵语等可以使用攻下法的证候,然后才可以攻下。那些不大便且没有上述攻下证候的,这是津液不足,应当审慎,不要因为日子久了就轻易使用攻下法。
王三阳说:此处使用五苓散难以适用。否则,经文“渴”字上应该有脱文。
脉象阳部微细,说明邪气少;汗出少说明程度适当。所以是自和。汗出过多,反而损伤正气,这就是汗出太过。
阳脉实,因为发汗,汗出多也是太过。太过会导致阳气在内断绝,亡失津液,大便因此干硬。
阳脉实,说明表热盛。因为发汗,热邪乘虚蒸腾,津液外泄,导致汗出太过。汗出多会亡失阳气。阳气在内断绝,肠胃干燥,大便因此干硬。
脉象浮而芤(中空如葱管),浮代表阳,芤代表阴。浮与芤相搏结,胃气生热,其阳气则断绝。
浮与芤相搏结,阴阳不协调。胃气独治,郁而生热,消烁津液,其阳气为断绝。
趺阳脉(足背动脉,候脾胃之气)浮而涩,浮则胃气强,涩则小便频数。浮与涩相搏结,大便则难,这是脾约(脾的功能受限,不能为胃行其津液)。主方用麻仁丸(润肠通便方剂)。
趺阳脉是脾胃的脉象。诊得浮脉为阳,可知胃气强;诊得涩脉为阴,可知脾被约束。“约”,是俭约的意思,又是约束的意思。《内经》说:饮食进入胃,游溢精气,向上输送给脾。脾气散布精微,向上归于肺。通调水道,向下输送到膀胱。水精四布,五脏经脉并行。这说明脾主要替胃运行津液。现在胃强脾弱,约束津液,不能四布,只输送到膀胱,导致小便频数、大便困难。给予脾约丸(即麻仁丸),通肠润燥。
Evodiae Fructus (one sheng, washed, pungent and hot) Ren Shen (three liang, sweet and warm) Sheng Jiang (six liang, sliced, pungent and warm) Da Zao (twelve pieces, broken open, sweet and warm)
The above four ingredients. Use seven sheng of water. Boil to obtain two sheng of decoction. Remove the dregs. Take seven ge as a dose, warm. Administer three times daily.
The *Nei Jing* states: When cold pathogen invades the interior, treat with sweet and hot substances. Assist with bitter and pungent substances. The pungency of Evodiae Fructus and Sheng Jiang warms the Stomach. The sweetness of Ren Shen and Da Zao moderates the Spleen.
Lou states: If the condition worsens after taking the decoction, it is a fire syndrome. It should be treated with Sheng Jiang and Huang Lian.
Taiyang disease (disease of the Taiyang channel), Cun pulse slow, Guan pulse floating, Chi pulse weak. The patient has fever, sweating, and aversion to cold again, does not vomit, but only has epigastric fullness and stuffiness. This is due to the physician's premature use of purgation. If no purgation was used, and the patient is not averse to cold but thirsty, this indicates the pathogen has transferred to Yangming (Yangming channel pathology). In cases where urination is frequent, the stool must be hard. Even if there is no bowel movement for ten days, there is no distress. If thirsty for water, give small amounts at a time, and rescue according to the method. For thirst, Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is suitable.
Taiyang disease, with the exterior pulse floating and interior pulse weak, indicates the pathogen is in the exterior. Now, with Cun pulse slow, Guan pulse floating, and Chi pulse weak, the pathogen is gradually transmitting to the interior. Thus, fever, sweating, and aversion to cold indicate the exterior syndrome is unresolved. Pathogenic factors transmitted through the channels entering the interior cause disharmony in the interior, which necessarily leads to vomiting. Here, there is no vomiting, only epigastric fullness, because the physician used purgation too early, leaving the pathogen lingering in the epigastrium. If no purgation had been used, the patient would gradually cease to be averse to cold and become thirsty. The Taiyang pathogen transfers to Yangming. After emesis, purgation, or diaphoresis, if urination is frequent and stool is hard, Xiao Cheng Qi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) should be given to harmonize. This case does not involve frequent urination and hard stool resulting from prior emesis, purgation, or diaphoresis. If there is no fullness and excess, even without bowel movement for ten days, there is no distress. Wait for the body fluids to return to the Stomach; when urination frequency decreases, the stool will pass naturally. For those desiring water, give small amounts to moisten the Stomach qi. Examine the location of the pathogen and rescue according to the method. If thirst persists, administer Wu Ling San.
Zhang Jianshan asks: Why is no purgative therapy used for ten days without bowel movement? He answers: This is not accumulated heat, but insufficient body fluids. For constipation, if there are signs such as tidal fever and delirium that warrant purgation, then attack may be used. For those with constipation but without these purgative signs, this is due to insufficient body fluids; caution is required. Do not resort to purgation merely because many days have passed.
Wang Sanyang states: The use of Wu Ling San here is difficult to apply. Otherwise, there must be missing text before the character "thirst" in the classic.
If the exterior pulse is faint and sweating is slight, this indicates self-harmonization. Profuse sweating indicates excess.
A faint exterior pulse means the pathogen is scanty; slight sweating indicates appropriateness. Hence, self-harmonization. Profuse sweating damages the righteous qi, constituting excessive sweating.
If the exterior pulse is excess, and diaphoresis causes profuse sweating, this is also excess. Excess leads to the severance of yang within the interior and loss of body fluids, causing the stool to become hard.
An excess exterior pulse indicates severe exterior heat. Diaphoresis allows heat to steam into the deficiency, causing body fluids to escape externally, leading to excessive sweating. Profuse sweating leads to the loss of yang. Yang is severed within the interior, the intestines and stomach become dry, and the stool becomes hard.
If the pulse is floating and knotted (hollow like a scallion stalk), floating represents yang, and knotted represents yin. The interaction of floating and knotted generates heat in the Stomach qi, leading to the severance of its yang.
The interaction of floating and knotted indicates disharmony between yin and yang. Stomach qi acts independently, stagnating and generating heat, consuming body fluids, resulting in the severance of yang.
The Fuyang pulse (pulse at the dorsum pedis, reflecting Spleen and Stomach qi) is floating and choppy. Floating indicates strong Stomach qi; choppy indicates frequent urination. The interaction of floating and choppy makes defecation difficult; this is Spleen Constraint (Spleen dysfunction failing to distribute fluids for the Stomach). Ma Ren Wan (Hemp Seed Pill) is the primary formula.
Fuyang is the pulse of the Spleen and Stomach. A floating pulse indicates yang, revealing strong Stomach qi; a choppy pulse indicates yin, revealing Spleen constraint. "Constraint" implies frugality or restriction. The *Nei Jing* states: Food enters the Stomach, its essence overflows and is transported upward to the Spleen. The Spleen disperses essence, sending it upward to the Lung. The Lung regulates the water passages, transporting them downward to the Bladder. Water essence distributes in all directions, traversing the five meridians. This shows the Spleen primarily transports body fluids for the Stomach. Now, with strong Stomach and weak Spleen, body fluids are constrained and cannot distribute in all directions, but are only sent to the Bladder, causing frequent urination and difficulty in defecation. Administer Pi Yue Wan (Spleen Constraint Pill, i.e., Ma Ren Wan) to unblock the intestines and moisten dryness.
