疟疾（一种以寒战、高热、头痛为特征的周期性发作疾病）包括风暑疟、山岚瘴气疟、食积疟、久疟（老疟）、疟母（脾脏肿大）、寒湿疟、痹证型疟、五脏疟和六腑疟。
发散法：对于有汗但需止汗的情况，以扶助正气为主，兼以疏散邪气，可用小柴胡汤加桂枝、白虎加桂枝汤。若见头痛、脉浮、恶风且有汗，依据《机要》，宜用桂枝羌活汤。
和解法：对于无汗但需发汗的情况，以疏散邪气为主，兼以扶正，可用桂枝加黄芩知母石膏汤、人参柴胡饮子、六和汤。六和汤方组成如下：人参、知母、草果、贝母、白芷、槟榔（各一钱），乌梅、柴胡（各一钱，用酒拌制），常山（二钱）。
温法：若寒多热少，或仅有寒而无热，称为牡疟，宜用柴胡姜桂汤，此法旨在温通经脉。
下法：若热多寒少，目痛、多汗、脉大，可用柴胡汤轻微通便以达适度为标准。若余邪未尽，可用白芷、石膏、知母三物汤以清除剩余病邪。
调经法：若风暑之邪深入阴分而在夜间发作，说明血分受病，宜用桂枝、桃仁、当归、柴胡、黄芩等药物。
温脾法：因内伤生冷所致，可在平胃散中加入人参，或使用守田（即苍术）、茯苓、草果、藿香、生姜、乌梅等药，飞龙夺命丹也可使用。
消癖法：咳嗽性疟疾多形成痞块，位于左胁下者称为疟母，可用严氏鳖甲饮子、金匮鳖甲煎丸。
宣吐法：因外感病邪位于上焦胸膈，多结聚痰涎，故适宜采用催吐法，可用子和恒山散、藜芦散、雄黄散。
截疟法：辰砂丹、一剪金均为关键药物。配方为：朱砂（一两半，留五钱作为包衣材料）、信石（砒霜）、雄黄（各五钱）。以上研为细末，加入白面六钱，用水泛丸如绿豆大小，每日清晨五更时分，用温水送服一丸。
补法：若汗出过多，寒热不止，懒言少语，食欲减退，可用小柴胡汤加桂枝、白术、陈皮、当归、草果皮、芍药、黄芪、知母、贝母。若症状未止，可兼服以下药物。
若三日一发，或一月、两月发作一次的疟疾，秘方清脾丸适用：白术（一两半）、人参、槟榔、草果、黄芩、苍术（制，各一两）、青皮（一两）、蓬术（醋炒）、厚朴（各半两）、甘草、姜黄（各三钱）。以上研为细末，用米饭泛丸如梧桐子大小，每次服用五六十丸，饭后不久用白开水送服，每日两次。
移精变气法：或通过惊吓、击打使其藏匿恐惧，或照水镜、饮用符水、观看尽兴的棋局，皆可制止疟疾，但若邪气已传入内脏则无法制止。
Malaria (a periodic febrile disease characterized by chills, high fever, and headache) includes wind-summerheat malaria, mountain miasma malaria, food-stagnation malaria, chronic malaria (old malaria), malaria mass (splenomegaly), cold-dampness malaria, bi-syndrome type malaria, five-zang malaria, and six-fu malaria.
Dispersing Method: For cases with sweating where cessation of sweat is desired, the primary approach is to support healthy Qi while simultaneously dispersing pathogenic factors; Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) or Baihu Jia Guizhi Tang (White Tiger Decoction with Cinnamon Twig) may be used. If headache, floating pulse, aversion to wind, and sweating are present, according to *Jiyao* (Essentials), Guizhi Qianghuo Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Notopterygium Decoction) should be used.
Harmonizing Method: For cases without sweating where induction of sweat is desired, the primary approach is to disperse pathogens while supporting healthy Qi; Guizhi Jia Huangqin Zhimu Shigao Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction with Scutellaria, Anemarrhena, and Gypsum), Renshen Chaihu Yinzi (Ginseng and Bupleurum Drink), or Liuhe Tang (Six-Harmony Decoction) may be used. The composition of Liuhe Tang is as follows: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Caoguo (Tsaoko Fruit), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root), Binglang (Areca Seed) (each 1 qian); Wumei (Mume Fruit), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) (each 1 qian, soaked in wine); Changshan (Dichroa Root) (2 qian).
Warming Method: When chills predominate over fever, or when there is only chills without fever, it is called Muzhang (Male Malaria); Chaihu Jiangui Tang (Bupleurum, Ginger, and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated, which aims to warm the meridians.
Purgative Method: When heat predominates over chills, accompanied by eye pain, profuse sweating, and a large pulse, Chaihu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction) may be used to induce mild purgation as a limit. If residual pathogens remain, Baizhi, Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), and Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome) Sanwu Tang (Three-Substance Decoction) may be used to eliminate remaining pathogens.
Regulating Meridians Method: When wind-summerheat pathogens penetrate deeply into the Yin level and manifest at night, it indicates that the Blood is affected; drugs such as Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Taoren (Peach Kernel), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), and Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) should be used.
Dispelling Miasma Method: Use Caodoukou (Black Cardamom), Houpo (Magnolia Bark), Caoguo (Tsaoko Fruit), Binglang (Areca Seed), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), and Changshan (Dichroa Root).
Warming Spleen Method: Due to internal injury from raw and cold foods, Renshen (Ginseng Root) may be added to Pingwei San (Stomach-Pacifying Powder), or formulas containing Shoutian (Atractylodis Rhizoma, i.e., Cangzhu), Fuling (Poria), Caoguo (Tsaoko Fruit), Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb), Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), and Wumei (Mume Fruit) may be used; Feilong Duoming Dan (Flying Dragon Life-Extending Pill) may also be used.
Eliminating Masses Method: Cough-type malaria often forms masses; those located under the left hypochondrium are called Muzhang (Malaria Mass); Yan Shi's Biejia Yinzi (Bivalve Shell Decoction by Dr. Yan) or Jingui's Biejia Jian Wan (Bivalve Shell Decoction Pills from the Golden Cabinet) may be used.
Digesting Food Method: Use Sanyin Hongwanzi (Red Pills of the Three Causes).
Exerting Vomiting Method: When external pathogens affect the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner) chest and diaphragm, phlegm and saliva often accumulate; thus, emesis is appropriate. Hezi's Hengshan San (Hengshan Powder), Lili San (Veratrum Powder), or Xionghuang San (Realgar Powder) may be used.
Intercepting Malaria Method: Chen Sha Dan (Cinnabar Pill) and Yijian Jin (One-Shear Gold) are essential medicines. The formula consists of: Zhusha (Cinnabar) (1.5 liang, reserving 0.5 liang for coating), Xinshi (Arsenic Trioxide), and Xionghuang (Realgar) (each 5 qian). These are ground into powder, mixed with 6 qian of white flour, and made into pills the size of mung beans. One pill is taken orally with water during the Wu Geng (early morning, around 3-5 AM) period.
Tonifying Method: In cases of excessive sweating, persistent chills and fever, reluctance to speak, and poor appetite, Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Caoguopi (Tsaoko Peel), Shaoyao (Peony Root), Huangqi (Astragalus Root), Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), and Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb) may be used. If symptoms persist, the following medicine may be taken concurrently.
For malaria occurring every three days, or once every month or two months, the secret formula Qingpi Wan (Clearing Spleen Pill) is applicable: Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (1.5 liang), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Binglang (Areca Seed), Caoguo (Tsaoko Fruit), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Shoutian/Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, processed) (each 1 liang), Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel) (1 liang), Pengzhu (Curcuma Zedoaria Rhizome, stir-fried with vinegar), Houpo (Magnolia Bark) (each 0.5 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root), Jianghuang (Turmeric Rhizome) (each 3 qian). These are ground into powder, made into pills the size of paulownia seeds using rice paste, and 50-60 pills are taken with plain hot water shortly after meals, twice daily.
Shifting Spirit and Changing Qi Method: Inducing fear through startling or striking, hiding fears, gazing into water mirrors, drinking talismanic water, or engaging in intense chess games can all stop malaria; however, if the pathogen has transmitted to the interior organs, it cannot be stopped by these methods.
Acupuncture Points: Hegu (LI4), Quchi (LI11), Gongsun (SP4).
Moxibustion: Regardless of gender, at the end of the first segment of the Dazhui (GV14) acupoint, acupuncture should be performed first, followed by moxibustion of 21 cones (San Qi Zhuang), yielding immediate results; alternatively, moxibustion at the third segment may also be used.
