夫骨蒸之人。肌肤瘦悴。营卫虚弱。真阳内耗。所饮之水。不能消化。留滞胁肋。遂成
痼疾。块硬不消。或因饮食伤脾。忧思气结。呼吸气冷。其疾遂作。起于胁下。脐腹两边。
如臂之横。不可俯仰。妨害饮食。蕴积而痛。故谓之骨蒸 癖。

[Gu Zheng Pi (With Discussion)]
Individuals suffering from Gu Zheng (Bone Steaming) exhibit emaciated and withered skin and muscles, deficiency of Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi), and depletion of True Yang within. The water they drink cannot be digested, stagnating in the hypochondriac region, thereby forming a stubborn disease characterized by hard, indigestible masses. Sometimes, the disease arises from dietary injury to the Spleen or emotional distress causing Qi stagnation; breathing becomes cold, and the illness manifests. The lesion originates below the ribs and on both sides of the umbilicus, resembling a horizontal arm, making flexion and extension difficult, hindering eating, accumulating pain, hence termed "Gu Zheng Pi" (Bone Steaming Stagnation).
