阴气独自强盛，阳气突然衰微，阳气被阴气所克制，体内和体表都呈现阴寒状态，因此形成阴毒伤寒。有的患者刚得病就表现为阴毒；有的服用汤药后，经过五六天以上病情没有好转，转变为阴毒。这是因为疾病本属阴证，因服用寒凉药物过多，或者脏腑内外受到寒邪侵袭，导致阴气更加旺盛，阳气无法恢复所致。其症状表现为四肢逆冷，脐腹部剧烈疼痛，身体感觉像被棍棒击打一样，呕吐并伴有腹泻，脉象沉细而快速，这就是阴毒的表现。如果阴毒已经深入，病情危重，六脉在骨旁深取才能触及，轻按即消失，一息跳动八次以上，甚至无法计数。此时适宜使用葱熨法、灼艾法。
伤寒初起一两天，就结成阴毒；或者服药六七天以上，直到十天，转变为阴毒。症状表现为身体沉重，背部僵硬，腹中绞痛，咽喉不利，毒邪攻心，心下坚硬，呼吸短促，烦躁口渴，出虚汗，有时出现郑声（神志不清时的胡言乱语），呕吐逆气并腹泻，身体像被杖责一样疼痛，嘴唇发青，面色发黑，四肢厥冷。脉象沉细紧数。张仲景说：这是阴毒的症状，五天内还可以治疗，到了六七天，就无法治愈了。阴毒，用甘草汤主治。
刚开始患阴毒时说：阴毒原本是因为肾气虚寒，因为行房事，或者吃生冷食物后感冒风寒，体内既有伏藏的阴寒，体外又感受寒邪；或者先感受外寒，而后内伏阴寒，内外皆阴，则阳气不能固守，于是引发头痛，腰部沉重腹痛，眼睛疼痛，身体倦怠且发热不明显，四肢逆冷，额头及手背冷汗不止，或多烦渴，精神恍惚，如有失物之感。两三天间，或许可以起身行走，不觉得特别沉重。诊察时六脉俱沉细而快，尺部脉短小，寸口脉或大，关脉浮大或沉，取之有力但不甚快的，不是阴证。如果服用凉药过多，则口渴更严重，燥热更急迫。有此病证的，应立即服用还阳退阴两种药物即可安宁，只需补虚和气罢了。适宜服用正元散、退阴散、五胜散。阴证不宜发汗，如果正气尚存且脉大，身热但病未愈，用药出汗无妨。
阴毒为病，手足冷，腰背强直，脐腹筑痛，咽喉痛，呕吐腹泻，身体像被杖责，脉细欲绝。这是由于肾气虚寒，外伤风冷，或因冷物伤脾。脾属太阴，内外皆阴，则阳气不守，遂成阴毒。四肢逆冷，额头和手背冷汗不止，或多烦渴，精神恍惚。所以岐伯说：阴胜则身体寒冷，出汗后身体常清冷。
又说阴毒逐渐加深的症状：积聚的阴寒感于下部，则微弱的阳气消亡于上部，所以症状沉重，四肢逆冷，腹痛加剧，或咽喉不利，或心下胀满结硬，烦躁口渴，虚汗不止，有时狂言乱语，指甲和面色青黑，六脉沉细，一息七次以上。有此证候者，应速在气海或关元二穴灸三四百壮，以手足暖和为有效。同时服用金液丹、来苏丹、玉女散、还阳散、退阴散。
又说阴毒沉困的症状：沉困的症状，与前述逐渐加深的症状相同，但更加困重。六脉附骨，只有深取才有，轻按即无，一息八次以上，甚至无法计数。到了这种地步，药物很难发挥作用了。只需用艾炷如半枣大小，灸三百壮以上，如果手足仍不暖和，则不可治。如果偶然又变暖和，则以前用的硫黄及热药辅助治疗。如果阴气消散，阳气来复，就会……
诗曰：阴毒伤寒身体重，背强眼痛不堪任。小腹急痛口青黑，毒瓦斯冲心转不禁。四肢厥然惟思吐，咽喉不利脉细沉。若能速灸脐轮下，六日看过见喜神。阴毒身如击扑然，疾沉汗渴……
阴气独自强盛，阳气突然断绝，则为阴毒。身体寒冷有汗，脉象沉细而快，这就是阴毒。脉沉而不快的，不是初病突然形成的。有的是服药数日后变化而成的。大概是因为肾气极损，生冷伤脾，体内已有伏阴，体外又感寒邪；或者先感外寒，后伏阴于内，内外皆阴，阳气不守的缘故。阳气独胜，阴气突然断绝，则为阳毒。身体发热无汗，脉象弦洪促数。有的是初病突然形成的，大概是因为酒面过多，丹砂僭越燥烈，肠胃极热导致的。或者病证属阳，误投温药，助热为邪，内外皆阳，阴气不守的缘故。阴阳二毒，都有头疼微利的症状。抑制阴寒用热药，抑制阳热用寒药，本来就有条例。然而这两种毒，随气逆上结，伏于胸中，都令人心下疼痛坚硬非常，常规方法难以疏通。应当紧急制作模型以泄之（此处原文可能有误，意指通泄之法）。阴毒泄，则阳气复；阳毒泄，则阴气复。阴阳升降，营卫流行，自然大汗而解。如果心下已结，拖延到六七天之间，绝对不可活。外证治法详见后篇。
阴毒外证：面目唇爪青黑，口开气短，咽喉不利，手足厥冷，身体不甚热，痛重如被打扑，或多次战栗而寒，头目俱疼，腰重背强，毒邪攻心，心下坚闷，腹中绞痛，外肾及脐下冷硬，额头及手背间冷汗不止，呕吐不利，烦渴，阴极发燥，精神恍惚，言语清醒异常，声音郑重，舌上黑色。阴病回阳，服药未透，也须借助火气，但不要逼迫太过。生姜和良姜，都能散寒邪，发越阳气，也是要药。阴毒脉沉细，而其疾身冷有汗，可以使用。阴毒，甘草汤，以及白术附子散、正阳散、肉桂散、回阳丹、返阴丹、天雄散、正原散、退阴散、金液丹，都可以选择使用。这样阳气复，而大汗解。医生能精通于此，用药疗证，则无不愈。大师陈北山的方诀：治阴毒心下结伏，按之极痛，大小便秘涩，累日用药不下，只要出气稍暖，也可治疗。急取巴豆肉十粒，研烂，入面粉一钱许，捻作一饼，坚实安顿在脐心，立小艾炷，灸五七壮，觉腹中鸣响，良久自通利。其次用葱白一束，紧扎，切作数饼，炙令温热，贴于脐下，以熨斗盛火，熨其上，接着又换新的。渐渐觉得体温回升，就用五积散二钱，附子末一钱，姜七片，枣二枚，盐少许，水一大盏，煎至七分，温服。连服二三剂，即汗出而愈。又一种方法：以大蒜一枚，捣研，捏作饼子，炙热置于脐心，灸十壮，大小便即通。阴毒已深，则灸气海、关元二穴，以手足暖和为效。仍用前项药济助。如果六脉附骨，疾势困重甚者，脐中用先艾后葱法。方诀详情见前。凡治阴毒，得阳气乍复，复者皆生烦躁，切勿误投凉药。燥甚，与返阴丹之类。
阴证：太阴、少阴、厥阴，皆属阴证。太阴者，脾也；少阴者，肾也；厥阴者，肝也。什么是太阴证？太阴脾经，主胸膈胀满。《甲乙经》说：邪生于阳者，得之风雨寒暑；邪中于阴者，得之饮食居处、阴阳喜怒。又说：贼风虚邪者，阳受之；饮食不节，起居不时者，阴受之。阳受之则入腑，阴受之则入脏。入六腑，则身热不时，上为喘呼；入五脏，则痞满闭塞，下为飧泄，久为肠澼。什么是少阴证？少阴肾经，主脉微细，心烦但欲寐，或自利而渴。又问：经云一二日少阴病者，何也？谓国中病时，腠理寒，便入阴经，不经三阳也。伤寒虽是三阴三阳，大抵发于阳，则太阳也；发于阴，则少阴也。此二经为表里，其受病最为多。阳明、太阴受病颇稀，至于少阳、厥阴肝胆之经，又加少焉。凡病一日至十二三日，太阳证不罢者，但治太阳。有初得病，便见少阴证者，直攻少阴，亦不必先自太阳次传而至。盖寒气入太阳，即发热而恶寒；入少阴经，只恶寒而不发热也。三阴中寒微，则理中汤；稍厥，或中寒下利，即干姜汤；手足指头微寒冷，谓之清。病有此，未可吃四逆。盖疾轻故也。只可服理中干姜之类。大段重者，用四逆汤。无脉者，用通脉四逆汤也。什么是厥阴证？厥阴肝经，主消渴，气上冲，心中疼热，饥不欲食，食则吐蛔，下之，利不止也。若阴气独盛，阳气暴绝，则为阴毒。其证四肢逆冷，脐腹筑痛，身如被杖，脉沉疾，或吐或利，当急灸脐下，服以辛热之药，令阳气复而大汗解矣。古人云：辛甘发散为阳，谓桂枝、甘草、干姜、附子之类，能复其阳气也。微用辛甘，甚则用辛苦。阴极发躁，阴证似阳，学人当以脉别之。

Yin qi alone becomes excessive, while Yang qi suddenly declines. Yang is overcome by Yin, resulting in a state of Yin cold both internally and externally, thus forming Yin Toxin Cold Disease (Yindu Shanghan). Some patients present as Yin Toxin immediately upon contracting the disease; others develop Yin Toxin after taking herbal decoctions for five or six days without improvement. This occurs because the disease fundamentally belongs to the Yin category, and excessive intake of cold-natured medicines, or invasion of cold pathogens into the internal organs and external body, causes Yin qi to become even more dominant, preventing the recovery of Yang qi. The symptoms include cold extremities (cold reversal), severe pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions, a sensation as if the body has been beaten, vomiting accompanied by diarrhea, and a pulse that is deep, fine, and rapid. This characterizes Yin Toxin. If Yin Toxin has penetrated deeply and the condition is critical, the six pulses may only be palpable when pressed deeply against the bone, disappearing with light pressure, beating more than eight times per respiration, or even being uncountable. At this stage, methods such as moxibustion with scallions (Cong Yi Fa) and burning moxa (Zhuo Ai Fa) are appropriate.
In the early stages of Cold Disease (Shanghan), within one or two days, Yin Toxin may form; or after taking medicine for six or seven days up to ten days, it transforms into Yin Toxin. Symptoms include heaviness of the body, stiffness of the back, colicky abdominal pain, difficulty in the throat, toxic factors attacking the heart, hardness below the epigastrium, shortness of breath, restlessness, thirst, spontaneous sweating, occasional delirious speech (Zheng Sheng), vomiting with diarrhea, a sensation of being beaten, cyanosis of the lips, blackening of the face, and cold extremities. The pulse is deep, fine, tight, and rapid. Zhang Zhongjing stated: "These are signs of Yin Toxin. It can be treated within five days; by the sixth or seventh day, it is incurable." For Yin Toxin, Gancao Tang (Licorice Decoction) is the primary prescription.
Regarding the onset of Yin Toxin: Yin Toxin originates from deficiency-cold of Kidney Qi, often triggered by sexual activity or catching wind after consuming cold foods. Internally, Yin cold is latent; externally, cold pathogens are contracted. Alternatively, external cold is contracted first, followed by internal latent Yin. With Yin prevailing both inside and out, Yang Qi fails to remain secure, leading to headache, heavy and painful waist, eye pain, bodily fatigue with little fever, cold extremities, continuous cold sweat on the forehead and dorsum of hands, frequent thirst, mental confusion, and a sense of loss. Within two or three days, the patient might be able to walk, feeling not overly burdened. Palpation reveals all six pulses as deep, fine, and rapid; the Chi position is short; the Cun position may be large; the Guan position may be floating-large or deep. If the pulse is forceful when taken but not excessively rapid, it is not a Yin syndrome. If too many cooling medicines are taken, thirst and dryness intensify. In such cases, immediate administration of Yang-restoring and Yin-retreating medicines will bring relief; the treatment focuses on tonifying deficiency and harmonizing Qi. Suitable prescriptions include Zhengyuan San, Tuiyin San, and Wusheng San. Yin syndromes generally should not induce sweating. However, if the healthy Qi is intact and the pulse is large, with fever persisting but the illness unresolved, inducing sweat through medication is permissible.
Yin Toxin manifests as cold hands and feet, stiff waist and back, pounding abdominal pain, sore throat, vomiting and diarrhea, a sensation of being beaten, and a fine pulse nearly imperceptible. This results from deficiency-cold of Kidney Qi, external contraction of wind-cold, or spleen injury due to cold foods. Since the Spleen belongs to Taiyin, and with Yin prevailing internally and externally, Yang Qi cannot be maintained, leading to Yin Toxin. Symptoms include cold extremities, continuous cold sweat on the forehead and hands, frequent thirst, and mental confusion. As Qibo stated: "When Yin prevails, the body feels cold; sweating leads to a constant feeling of chill."
Furthermore, regarding the gradual deepening of Yin Toxin: Accumulated Yin cold at the lower part causes slight Yang to dissipate at the upper part. Thus, symptoms are heavy, with cold extremities, worsening abdominal pain, throat obstruction, or fullness and hardness below the heart, restlessness, thirst, continuous cold sweat, occasional manic speech, and cyanosis of nails and face. The six pulses are deep and fine, beating seven times or more per respiration. For such cases, moxibustion of 300-400 moxa cones should be applied rapidly to the Qihai (CV6) or Guanyuan (CV4) acupoints, until the extremities become warm. Concurrently administer Jin Ye Dan, Lai Su Dan, Yu Nu San, Huan Yang San, and Tuiyin San.
Regarding the sinking and prostration of Yin Toxin: These symptoms are similar to those of gradual deepening but more severe. The six pulses are felt only when pressed deeply against the bone, vanishing with light touch, beating more than eight times per respiration, or uncountable. At this stage, medicinal herbs are difficult to effect. Only moxibustion using cones half the size of a jujube, totaling over 300 cones, should be used. If the extremities do not become warm, the case is untreatable. If warmth returns temporarily, continue assisting with sulfur and hot medicines. If Yin dissipates and Yang returns...
Poem:
Yin Toxin Cold Disease brings body heaviness,
Back stiffness and eye pain unbearable.
Lower abdomen urgent pain, mouth cyanotic and black,
Toxic vapors rush to the heart, uncontrollable.
Extremities cold, only desiring vomit,
Throat obstructed, pulse deep and fine.
If moxibustion is quickly applied below the navel,
By the sixth day, joy may be seen.
Yin Toxin feels like being struck,
Illness deep, sweating, thirst...
When Yin Qi alone is excessive and Yang Qi suddenly ceases, it is called Yin Toxin. The body is cold with sweat, and the pulse is deep, fine, and rapid. If the pulse is deep but not rapid, it did not form suddenly at the onset. Some cases transform after several days of medication, likely due to extreme damage to Kidney Qi, spleen injury from raw/cold foods, internal latent Yin, and external cold contraction. Conversely, if Yang Qi alone prevails and Yin Qi suddenly ceases, it is called Yang Toxin. The body is hot without sweat, and the pulse is wiry, flooding, hurried, and rapid. Some form suddenly at onset, likely due to excessive alcohol and wheat, excessive cinnabar causing dryness, and extreme heat in the intestines and stomach. Or, a Yang-type illness mistakenly treated with warm medicines, exacerbating heat into pathogenic factors. With Yang prevailing internally and externally, Yin Qi cannot be maintained. Both Yin and Yang toxins present with headache and mild diarrhea. Suppressing Yin requires hot medicines; suppressing Yang requires cold medicines, following established principles. However, these two toxins ascend with rebellious Qi, lodge in the chest, causing severe pain and hardness below the heart, which standard methods cannot resolve. Urgent measures must be taken to drain them. Draining Yin Toxin restores Yang; draining Yang Toxin restores Yin. Through the ascending and descending of Yin and Yang, and the circulation of Ying and Wei, resolution occurs naturally through profuse sweating. If hardness below the heart persists for six or seven days, survival is impossible. External symptom treatments are detailed in subsequent chapters.
External signs of Yin Toxin: Cyanosis of eyes, face, lips, and nails; open mouth with shortness of breath; throat obstruction; cold extremities; little fever; pain heavy as if beaten; chills; headache and eye pain; heavy waist and stiff back; toxic vapors attacking the heart; hardness and oppression below the heart; colicky abdominal pain; cold hardness of external genitalia and below the navel; continuous cold sweat on forehead and hands; vomiting and diarrhea; thirst; dryness due to extreme Yin; mental confusion; coherent yet abnormal speech; solemn voice; black tongue coating. To restore Yang in Yin diseases, if medication penetration is insufficient, fire therapy must be borrowed, but not forced. Ginger and Galangal both disperse cold pathogens and promote Yang Qi; they are essential drugs. For Yin Toxin with deep, fine pulse, cold body, and sweat, these can be used. Prescriptions for Yin Toxin include Gancao Tang, Baizhu Fuzi San, Zhengyang San, Rougui San, Huiyang Dan, Fanyin Dan, Tianxiong San, Zhengyuan San, Tuiyin San, and Jin Ye Dan, selected as appropriate. This restores Yang and resolves through sweating. A physician proficient in this will achieve cure. Master Chen Beishan's formula verse: Treats Yin Toxin with knotting below the heart, extreme pain on pressure, constipation of urine and stool, unresponsive to daily medication. If exhaled air is slightly warm, it can still be treated. Take ten kernels of Croton seed (Badou), grind into paste, mix with one qian of flour, form a cake, place firmly on the center of the navel. Apply small moxa cones, moxibustion 5-7 cones. When abdominal borborygmus is heard, bowel movement will occur after some time. Next, take a bundle of green onion whites, tie tightly, slice into cakes, heat until warm, apply below the navel. Use an iron to heat above it, replacing as needed. Gradually feel body temperature rise. Then take Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) 2 qian, Fuzi powder 1 qian, 7 slices of ginger, 2 jujubes, a little salt, decoct in one large cup of water until 0.7 remains. Take warm. Continue for 2-3 doses until sweat appears and recovery occurs. Another method: Crush one garlic clove, form a cake, heat, place on navel, moxibustion 10 cones. Urine and stool will pass. For deep Yin Toxin, moxibustion Qihai and Guanyuan until extremities are warm, assisted by previous medicines. If six pulses are deep against the bone and condition is critical, use the "moxa first, then scallion" method at the navel. Formula details are previously described. In treating Yin Toxin, when Yang Qi briefly returns, irritability often arises; do not mistakenly administer cooling medicines. If dryness is severe, use Fanyin Dan and similar formulas.
Yin Syndromes: Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin all belong to Yin syndromes. Taiyin is the Spleen; Shaoyin is the Kidney; Jueyin is the Liver. What is the Taiyin Syndrome? The Taiyin Spleen meridian governs chest and diaphragmatic distension. The *Jia Yi Jing* states: Pathogens arising from Yang come from wind, rain, cold, and heat; pathogens striking Yin come from diet, dwelling, and emotional fluctuations. Also: Treacherous winds and empty pathogens affect Yang; irregular diet and improper living habits affect Yin. Affected Yang enters the Fu organs; affected Yin enters the Zang organs. Entering the Six Fu organs causes intermittent fever and upper respiratory distress; entering the Five Zang organs causes bloating and obstruction, lower diarrhea, and long-term intestinal dysentery. What is the Shaoyin Syndrome? The Shaoyin Kidney meridian governs a faint and fine pulse, vexation but desire to sleep, or spontaneous diarrhea with thirst. Question: Why does the classic mention Shaoyin disease on the first or second day? It means that during the epidemic, the pores were closed by cold, allowing entry directly into the Yin meridians, bypassing the Three Yang meridians. Although Cold Disease involves Three Yin and Three Yang, it generally starts in Yang (Taiyang) or Yin (Shaoyin). These two meridians are exterior-interior pairs and are most commonly affected. Yangming and Taiyin are less common; Shaoyang and Jueyin (Liver/Gallbladder) are even rarer. For illnesses lasting one to twelve or thirteen days, if Taiyang symptoms persist, treat Taiyang. If Shaoyin symptoms appear immediately, attack Shaoyin directly, without waiting for transmission from Taiyang. Cold pathogens entering Taiyang cause fever and aversion to cold; entering Shaoyin cause only aversion to cold without fever. For mild cold in the Three Yin meridians, use Lizhong Tang; for slight cold reversal or cold-induced diarrhea, use Ganjiang Tang; for slight coldness in finger tips, termed "Qing," do not use Sini Tang yet, as the disease is mild. Use Lizhong or Ganjiang types. For severe cases, use Sini Tang. For absent pulse, use Tongmai Sini Tang. What is the Jueyin Syndrome? The Jueyin Liver meridian governs thirst, rising Qi, heat and pain in the heart, hunger without desire to eat, vomiting roundworms upon eating, and intractable diarrhea if purged. If Yin Qi alone is excessive and Yang Qi suddenly ceases, it is Yin Toxin. Symptoms include cold extremities, pounding abdominal pain, sensation of being beaten, deep and rapid pulse, vomiting or diarrhea. Urgently moxibustion below the navel and administer acrid-hot medicines to restore Yang and resolve through sweating. Ancients said: Acrid and sweet disperse and promote Yang, referring to Guizhi, Gancao, Ganjiang, Fuzi, etc., which can restore Yang Qi. Mildly use acrid-sweet; severely use acrid-bitter. Extreme Yin causes restlessness; Yin syndrome mimics Yang. Students must differentiate by pulse.
