When a febrile disease has just subsided, the zang-fu organs are still deficient, and qi and blood have not yet recovered. If one overeats, experiences unregulated emotions of joy or anger, takes baths, combs hair, speaks excessively, or engages in excessive mental labor, it will lead to alternating chills and fever, inability to lift the limbs, bitter taste in the mouth, dry tongue, mental restlessness with night sweats, inability to eat, and emaciation of the body. This is caused by too early exertion and failure to regulate and adapt properly, allowing cold and heat pathogens to enter the meridians and transmit to the zang-fu organs, resulting in various changes, thus forming the syndrome of deficiency consumption (Xu Lao).

Prescriptions:

Note: Text says 'Chi', likely Paeoniae Radix Rubra or just Red Peony Root, but context implies standard Chi Shao; however, standard WHO term for Chi Shao is Paeoniae Radix Rubra. Wait, text says 'Chi' alone in some places, here 'Chi' refers to Chi Shao usually, but let's stick to literal if ambiguous. Actually 'Chi' often stands for Chi Shao in abbreviations. Let's use Paeoniae Radix Rubra (Chi Shao)). *Correction*: The text lists "Chi" separately in other formulas as "Chi Shao". Here it just says "Chi".
