经曰∶西方白色,入通于肺,开窍于鼻。又曰∶五气入鼻,藏于心肺,有病而鼻为不利也。陈飞霞曰∶盖鼻
为肺之窍。鼻塞者,肺气不通于窍。然肺主皮毛,风寒外感,则肺气壅用而鼻塞,川芎膏。鼻涕者,肺为寒风所
袭,而津液不收,则为鼻涕,细辛散疏之。
鼻 者,肺受风寒,久而不散,脓涕结聚不开,使不闻香臭,则 矣,万金膏。
以上三证、皆宜疏利,俱用通气散。鼻干者,心脾有热,上蒸于肺,故津液枯竭而干,当清热生津,导赤散
加麦冬。如病已极,鼻干而黑,窍张帝出冷气者,肺绝也,不治之证。
鼻渊者,流涕腥臭。此胆移热于脑,又名脑崩,宜用辛夷散。
凡小儿初生三朝一七,忽然鼻塞,不能吮乳,不得呼吸者,
因乳母夜卧之时,不知回避,鼻中出气,吹儿囟门,或因洗水未避风寒,所以致儿鼻塞。通关散和葱膏摊帛贴囟
门愈。鼻衄者,五脏积热所致。盖血随气行,得热而妄动,溢出于鼻。宜凉血降火,加减地黄汤,外用吹鼻散。

《黄帝内经》说:西方对应白色,其气内通于肺,鼻为肺之外窍。又说:五气通过鼻腔进入人体,藏纳于心肺之中,若心肺有病,则鼻孔通气不畅。陈飞霞说:鼻子是肺的外窍。鼻塞,是因为肺气不能通达于鼻窍。然而肺主一身之皮毛,若感受风寒外邪,则肺气壅滞郁闭而导致鼻塞,可用川芎膏治疗。流鼻涕,是因为肺被寒风侵袭,导致津液不能收摄,从而流出鼻涕,可用细辛散疏解。
如果鼻塞日久不愈,是肺受风寒之邪,久而不散,致使脓涕结聚不通,使人闻不到香臭气味,这就称为“鼻痔”(此处原文似有缺字或异体,指鼻内生肉如痔),可用万金膏治疗。
以上三种证候,都适宜使用疏利之法,均可以使用通气散。鼻干者,是心脾有热,热气上蒸于肺,导致津液枯竭而干燥,应当清热生津,用导赤散加麦冬治疗。如果病情已经极重,鼻干且颜色发黑,鼻孔张开并呼出冷气,这是肺气绝的表现,属于不治之症。
鼻渊,表现为流出的鼻涕腥臭。这是因为胆经的热邪移注于脑,又被称为“脑崩”,宜用辛夷散治疗。
凡是小儿出生三朝至七天内,突然鼻塞,不能吸吮乳汁,呼吸困难的,是因为乳母夜间睡觉时,不知回避,对着婴儿的囟门呼气;或者因为洗澡时未避开风寒,所以导致婴儿鼻塞。可用通关散配合葱膏,摊在丝帛上贴敷于囟门,即可痊愈。
鼻衄(鼻出血),是由五脏积热所致。血液随着气运行,遇到热邪就会妄动,溢出脉外而从鼻而出。宜用凉血降火的方法,服用加减地黄汤,外用吹鼻散。

The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: The West corresponds to the color white, its qi internally connects with the Lung, and the nose serves as the external orifice of the Lung. It also states: The five Qi enter through the nose and are stored in the Heart and Lungs; if disease occurs, nasal patency is impaired. Chen Feixia stated: The nose is the external orifice of the Lung. Nasal congestion occurs when Lung Qi fails to communicate with the orifice. However, the Lung governs the skin and hair; when affected by Wind-Cold from the exterior, Lung Qi becomes stagnant and obstructed, leading to nasal congestion, which can be treated with Chuanxiong Gao (Cyperus Ointment). Runny nose occurs when the Lung is invaded by Cold-Wind, causing fluids to fail in their astringent function and resulting in rhinorrhea, which can be dispersed using Xixin San (Asarum Powder).
If nasal congestion persists for a long time without resolving, it indicates that the Lung has been affected by Wind-Cold, which lingers and does not dissipate, causing purulent mucus to accumulate and block the passages, rendering the patient unable to perceive odors. This condition is referred to as "Nose Polyp" (Bi Zhi), and can be treated with Wanjin Gao (Ten Thousand Gold Ointment).
All three aforementioned syndromes are suitable for treatment via dispersing and unblocking methods, and Tongqi San (Unblocking Qi Powder) can be used for all. Dryness of the nose results from Heat in the Heart and Spleen steaming upward into the Lung, depleting fluids and causing dryness. One should clear Heat and generate fluids using Daochi San (Guide Out Redness Powder) supplemented with Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber). If the condition becomes extreme, characterized by a dry and black nose, dilated nares, and exhalation of cold air, this signifies the exhaustion of Lung Qi and is considered an untreatable syndrome.
Bi Yuan (Nasal Sinusitis) presents with foul-smelling, purulent nasal discharge. This arises from Heat transferring from the Gallbladder to the Brain, also known as "Brain Collapse" (Nao Beng), and should be treated with Xinyi San (Magnolia Flower Powder).
In infants, sudden nasal congestion occurring within three days to one week after birth, preventing breastfeeding and normal respiration, is caused by the nursing mother exhaling directly onto the infant's fontanelle during sleep without avoiding it, or by exposure to Wind-Cold during bathing. This leads to infantile nasal congestion. Tongguan San (Opening Passages Powder) mixed with Scallion Paste, applied on silk cloth to the fontanelle, will cure it.
Bi Nu (Epistaxis/Nosebleed) is caused by accumulated Heat in the Five Zang Organs. Blood follows Qi; when affected by Heat, it moves recklessly and overflows from the nose. Treatment should focus on cooling Blood and descending Fire, using Jiadi Dihuang Tang (Modified Rehmannia Decoction), with external application of Chuibi San (Blowing-into-Nose Powder).
