用三仁汤主治。(按:治疗湿温病,如果用发汗解表的方法会导致神志昏迷,如果用攻下泻下的方法会导致腹泻不止,如果用滋阴润燥的方法会使湿气更重。只能采用辛香开窍、淡味渗湿的方法慢慢治疗,不要追求快速见效,因为湿邪性质柔腻,虽然病情进展缓慢但很难迅速痊愈。)

(For warm epidemics, the same method applies. Summer-heat and latent summer-heat also follow this principle.)
At the initial stage of damp-warmth (Shiwen), symptoms include headache, aversion to cold, heaviness and pain in the body, a pale yellow complexion, white tongue coating without thirst, chest stuffiness and lack of appetite, afternoon fever, and a wiry, fine, and soggy pulse. This indicates pathogenic factors located in the Qi aspect of the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner).
Sanren Tang (Three Kernel Decoction) is the primary formula. (Note: In treating damp-warmth, releasing the exterior through sweating leads to coma; purging with downward-draining methods leads to severe diarrhea; nourishing Yin makes the dampness heavier. One can only treat it slowly with acrid-opening and bland-leaching methods, seeking no quick results, because damp pathogens are soft and greasy. Although the progression is slow, it is difficult to cure quickly.)
Sanren Tang (Three Kernel Decoction)
Xingren (Apricot Seed, 2.5 qian) Feihuas Hi (Pumiced Talcum, 3 qian) Baotongcao (White Akebia Stem, 1 qian) Baokouren (White Cardamom Seed, 1 qian) Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf, 1 qian) Nongpo (Magnolia Bark, 1 qian) Shengyiren (Coix Seed, 3 qian) Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome, 2.5 qian) Decoct with Ganlan Water (Gently Boiling Water). If the tongue coating is yellow indicating heat, replace Baokouren with Baokoupi (Cardamom Peel). If pathogens are in the meridians causing whole-body pulling pain, add Fangji (Stephania Root, 1.5 qian, stir-fried with Guizhi water) and Qinjiao (Gentiana Macrophylla Root, 2 qian, wine-fried).
In damp-warmth, if there is aversion to cold and cold feet, and after taking warming and dispersing herbs, the cold worsens, it is because Yang Qi is constrained by dampness and cannot reach the exterior or descend.
Tongyang Liqiao Tang (Decoction to Unblock Yang and Benefit Orifices) is the primary formula.
Tongyang Liqiao Tang (Decoction to Unblock Yang and Benefit Orifices)
Lugen (Reed Rhizome, 5 qian) Baotongcao (White Akebia Stem, 5 qian)
Decoct in water and take while hot. Sweating will ensue, and the disease will resolve.
In damp-warmth, if there is mental confusion and delirious speech with a yellow and greasy tongue coating, it indicates damp-heat stagnating in the Qi aspect and internally obscuring the Pericardium Collateral.
Xingren Jiezi Tang (Almond and White Mustard Seed Decoction) is the primary formula.
Xingren Jiezi Tang (Almond and White Mustard Seed Decoction)
Xingren (Apricot Seed, 3 qian) Baijiezi (White Mustard Seed, 1.5 qian) Mutong (Akebia Stem, 1.5 qian, stir-fried with ginger water) Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, 8 fen, salt-water fried) Lianqiao (Forsythia Fruit, 2 qian) Zhizi (Gardenia Fruit, 1.5 qian) Huashi (Talcum, 3 qian) Lugen (Reed Rhizome, 1.5 qian) Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf, 1 qian) Fuling (Poria, 3 qian) Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome, 2 qian)
Decoct in water and take.
In damp-warmth, if there is mental confusion, delirious speech, a red tongue body without coating, it indicates pathogens have transmitted to the Pericardium, transforming into dryness and injuring Yin, with internal orifices about to close.
Jinpu Tang (Gold and Calamus Decoction) is the primary formula (Most taboo: yin-cold and soft-greasy substances).
Jinpu Tang (Gold and Calamus Decoction)
Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn, 1.5 qian) [Note: Substitute with Niujiao or other legal alternatives in modern practice] Yujin (Curcuma Tuber, 1.5 qian) Lianqiao (Forsythia Fruit, 3 qian) Yinhua (Honeysuckle Flower, 3 qian) Xianshihu (Fresh Dendrobium Stem, 3 qian) Xianchangpu (Fresh Acorus Rhizome, 3 qian) Xianshengdi (Fresh Rehmannia Root, 2 qian) Xianzhuye (Fresh Bamboo Leaf, 1.5 qian) Lugenzhi (Juice of Reed Rhizome, 3 qian, mixed in) Zhuli (Bamboo Sap, 2 qian, mixed in) Shengjiangzhi (Ginger Juice, 1 drop, mixed in)
Decoct in water and take.
If damp-warmth is mistakenly treated with exterior-releasing methods leading to mental confusion and cold limbs, it indicates pathogens sinking into the Pericardium and entering the collaterals along the meridians.
Jiajian Qinggong Tang (Modified Palace-Clearing Decoction) is decocted to deliver Zhibao Dan (Treasure of the Precious Box Pill) or Zixue Dan (Purple Snow Pill).
Jiajian Qinggong Tang (Modified Palace-Clearing Decoction)
Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn, 1 qian) Lianqiaoxin (Heart of Forsythia Fruit, 3 qian) Yuanxencxin (Heart of Scrophularia Root, 2 qian) Zhuyexin (Heart of Bamboo Leaf, 2 qian) Yinhua (Honeysuckle Flower, 2 qian) Chixiaodoupi (Skin of Adzuki Bean, 3 qian)
Zhibao Dan (See previous text) Zixue Dan (Purple Snow Pill)
At the initial stage of damp syndrome, if there is blurred consciousness, inability to speak, and a white greasy tongue coating, it indicates cold-damp binding and internally obscuring the clear orifices.
Xingren Jiegeng Tang (Almond and Platycodon Decoction) is the primary formula. (This clause identifies cold-damp based on the white greasy tongue coating; compare with the previous three clauses, hence attached here.)
Xingren Jiegeng Tang (Almond and Platycodon Decoction)
Xingren (Apricot Seed, 3 qian) Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 2 qian) Xixin (Asarum Root, 3 fen) Baijiezi (White Mustard Seed, 1 qian) Fuling (Poria, 3 qian) Zexie (Alisma Rhizome, 1.5 qian) Tongcao (Tetrapanax Pith, 1 qian)
Decoct in water and take.
During the prevalence of warm epidemics, sudden onset of aversion to cold and high fever, headache and body pain so severe as to be unbearable, worsening in the afternoon, white tongue coating like accumulated powder tightly adhering, and an extremely rapid or deep-hidden pulse, indicates epidemic toxins transmitted from person to person, entering via mouth and nose and occupying the Mu Yuan (Moyuan/Root of Abdomen).
Dayuan Yin (Decoction to Reach the Origin) is the primary formula. (For weak constitutions, first use Yinqiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder) for release; if ineffective, then use Dayuan Yin.)
Dayuan Yin (Decoction to Reach the Origin)
Nongpo (Magnolia Bark, 1 qian) Caoguo (Black Cardamom Fruit, 5 fen) Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome, 1 qian) Baishao (White Peony Root, 1 qian) Huangqin (Scutellaria Root, 1 qian) Gancao (Licorice Root, 5 fen) Binglang (Areca Nut, 2 qian)
Decoct two cups of water to eight parts, take in the afternoon. (If irritability occurs after taking, it indicates impending battle-sweat; resolution comes with sweating.)
In damp-warmth, if there is throat obstruction and sore throat, it indicates pathogenic closure of Lung Qi.
Yinqiao Mabo San (Honeysuckle, Forsythia and Moella Powder) is the primary formula.
Yinqiao Mabo San (Honeysuckle, Forsythia and Moella Powder)
Lianqiao (Forsythia Fruit, 3 qian) Niubangzi (Arctium Fruit, 2 qian) Yinhua (Honeysuckle Flower, 1.5 qian) Shegan (Belamcanda Rhizome, 1 qian) Mabo (Moella Spore, 1 qian)
Decoct in water and take. If the throat is not painful but obstruction is severe, add Huashi (Talcum, 2 qian), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 1.5 qian), and Weigen (Reed Root, 1.5 qian).
In Taiyin damp-warmth, if bi-stagnation leads to hiccups (commonly known as hiccup), it is due to stagnation of clear Yang Qi in the Upper Jiao.
