脸上长疮,是由于体内有热而体表虚弱,风湿之邪乘虚侵袭所致。之所以这样,是因为肺主气,荣华于皮毛;脾主肌肉。
升麻加黄连汤用于治疗面部发热。升麻加附子汤用于治疗面部发冷。有什么依据呢?回答说:出自张仲景。云岐子在《伤寒论》中的注解提到:身热,脉象浮而长,这是从本脉来看沉而实。阳明经发病,主要表现是身体蒸蒸发热而不恶寒。身热属于标病,阳明本气实则胃中干燥,禁止使用下法,若误用发汗法会转变为发黄证。太阳经主表,营卫之气即在此处。营卫之下,肌肉归属于阳明经。二阳并病时,用葛根汤主治。卫分属桂枝汤证,营分属麻黄汤证,在营卫之间者,用桂枝麻黄各半汤主治。在营卫之下、肌肉之分者,用葛根汤主治,又名解肌汤。所以阳明经是肌肉的根本,并非专门用于发汗或止汗的治疗。桂枝汤和麻黄汤两方合并为一方的基础上,加入葛根,便成为葛根汤,这就是营卫与肌肉的次序关系。桂枝、芍药、生姜、甘草、大枣这五味药的作用是止汗;如果有麻黄、桂枝、甘草、生姜、大枣,则是发汗。葛根气味轻薄,单独加入一味并非为了发汗或止汗,而是通过葛根来解除肌表之邪,所以名叫葛根汤。钱乙(钱仲阳)制定了升麻汤,该方治疗伤寒温疫、风热壮热、头痛、肢体疼痛、疮疹已发或未发的情况,以葛根为君药,升麻为佐药,甘草、芍药安和中气。朱肱(朱奉议)编写《类证活人书》,将升麻汤列为阳明经的解表药。我曾诊治杨氏妇人,其阳明经标本俱实,先攻治里实,后泻经络中风热,所以使用升麻加黄连汤,以寒凉药治疗热证。

Facial carbuncles arise from internal heat combined with external deficiency, allowing wind-dampness to invade and generate sores. This is because the Lung governs Qi and manifests in the skin and hair; the Spleen governs the muscles.
Shengma Jia Huanglian Tang (Coptis Decoction with Cimicifuga) treats facial heat. Shengma Jia Fuzi Tang (Aconite Decoction with Cimicifuga) treats facial cold. What is the basis for this? The answer is: it originates from Zhang Zhongjing. Yunqizi's commentary on *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage) states: regarding body heat, if the pulse is floating and long, it indicates the root pulse is deep and excess. Yangming channel disease primarily presents as steaming body heat without aversion to cold. Body heat is a branch symptom; when Yangming root is excess, stomach dryness occurs, prohibiting purgation. Misusing sweating methods may transform into jaundice. Taiyang channel governs the exterior, where Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) reside. Below Ying and Wei, muscles belong to Yangming. In cases of simultaneous disease of two Yang channels, Gegen Tang (Kudzu Decoction) is indicated. Wei aspect corresponds to Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction), Ying aspect corresponds to Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction); within Ying and Wei, Guizhi Mahuang Gemi Tang (Half-and-Half Decoction of Cinnamon Twig and Ephedra) is used. Below Ying and Wei, in the muscle layer, Gegen Tang is used, also known as Jiemo Tang (Muscle-Relieving Decoction). Thus, Yangming is the root of muscles, not solely for inducing or stopping sweating. Combining Guizhi Tang and Mahuang Tang, adding Gegen creates Gegen Tang, illustrating the sequence of Ying, Wei, and muscles. Guizhi, Shaoyao, Shengjiang, Gancao, Dazao stop sweating; adding Mahuang, Guizhi, Gancao, Shengjiang induces sweating. Gegen has a thin flavor; adding it alone is not for sweating or stopping sweating, but to relieve the muscle layer via Gegen, hence the name Gegen Tang. Qian Boyuan (Qian Zhongyang) formulated Shengma Tang to treat Shanghan warm epidemic, severe wind-heat fever, headache, limb pain, and eruptive diseases before or after eruption, using Gegen as the sovereign herb, Shengma as the assistant, and Gancao, Shaoyao to harmonize the middle Qi. Zhu Gongyi compiled *Luren Shu* (Book of Living People), listing Shengma Tang as a resolving medicine for the Yangming channel. I once treated Lady Yang, whose Yangming channel exhibited both root and branch excess. First, the interior was attacked, then wind-heat in the channels was drained, thus using Shengma Jia Huanglian Tang to treat heat with cold herbs.
Regarding facial heat: The wife of Physician Yang, aged fifty-one, was obese. In the spring of the Jiyou year, she suffered from dizziness and heaviness of the head and eyes, red and hot face. Taking many clearing and descending medicines was ineffective.
Therefore, the following formulas are listed:
