痧毒之气上凌肺金,故气逆发呛而咳嗽,痰涎上涌,或呕哕恶心,或面目浮肿,或心胸烦闷,此痧毒入于气分,
痧筋往往不现,治以刮痧为主。间有入于血分者,必有痧筋,然后刺之。临症用药,宜理痧毒为主,若以伤风咳嗽治之
则
误矣。

痧毒之气上犯肺金,导致气机逆乱引发呛咳、咳嗽,痰涎上涌,或出现干呕、哕逆、恶心,或面目浮肿,或心胸烦闷。这是痧毒侵入气分,此时痧筋往往不显现,治疗以刮痧为主。间或有侵入血分的,必定有痧筋显现,然后进行刺络放血。临症用药,应以调理痧毒为主,如果按照伤风咳嗽来治疗,就会出错。
治验:
俞仲嘉的长女,五月时发热咳嗽,呕吐痰涎,胸中胀闷,面目浮肿。请其他医生服用治疗伤风痰嗽的药物四剂后,心中更加胀闷,于是停止服药,将近一个月。我偶然经过,她请求我为其诊治,右寸脉虚弱,知道这是痧证的变症。刮痧完毕后,使用防风散痧汤加贝母、薄荷,用童便微冷送服,随即痊愈。
王惟诚咳嗽,呛咳声不断,面目俱肿,呕吐痰液不止,甚至吐出鲜血。请我治疗,六脉弦紧且数,这是痧毒之气搏激于经脉之间,所以脉象如此。针刺手指头,放出毒血三针,并令其多进行刮痧。使用宝花散加童便微冷服用,又用圆红散微温服用而痊愈。
疼痛但不吐泻的,称为干霍乱。毒邪入血分,宜放痧(刺络放血)。新近饮食停滞宜催吐,久积饮食宜消食导滞,下焦结滞宜攻下。疼痛且伴有吐泻的,毒邪入气分,宜刮痧。若未愈,观察是否有痧筋则进行放血,治疗应以调和阴阳之气为主。须知肠胃食积,宜驱除不宜止涩,止涩则会加重疼痛。若是吐泻之后才出现疼痛,这是因为泻出粪秽之气所触,治疗宜略用藿香正气冷冻饮料。然而必须消除食积和血滞,或消导、或攻下、或活血。山药、茯苓不可随意施用;燥湿之剂,均在禁忌之列;温暖之药,也不可乱投。
治验:
沈篆玉在九月间患干霍乱,腹中盘肠大痛,放痧三十余针,之前王君已为其刮痧,但未愈。我使用宝花散加大黄丸,用清茶稍冷冻后送服而痊愈。
彭君明晚间腹中大痛,吐泻数十次,疼痛更加剧烈。请我诊治,左脉芤而滑,右脉弦细而涩,这是宿食已通过吐泻排尽,乃是毒邪入血分,血瘀作痛。进行放痧,未愈。使用独活红花汤,圆红散微温饮用,吐泻腹痛稍减。次日,服用前药后,吐泻腹痛全部消失。
The pathogenic qi of Sha (sand poisoning) attacks the Metal of the Lung, causing rebellious Qi leading to choking coughs and coughing, with phlegm and saliva surging upward, or dry heaving, hiccups, and nausea, or edema of the face and eyes, or vexation and oppression in the chest and heart. This indicates that Sha toxin has entered the Qi level; at this time, Sha veins often do not appear, and treatment should primarily focus on *Guasha* (scraping therapy). In rare cases where it enters the Blood level, there must be visible Sha veins, after which pricking bloodletting is performed. When prescribing medication for clinical presentation, one should prioritize regulating Sha toxin; treating it as a common cold-induced cough would be an error.
Case Record 1:
The eldest daughter of Yu Zhongjia suffered from fever, coughing, vomiting of phlegm and saliva, chest distension and oppression, and facial edema in May. After consulting other physicians and taking four doses of medicine for wind-cold phlegm cough, her chest oppression worsened, so she stopped taking medicine for nearly a month. I happened to pass by and was requested to diagnose her. The pulse at the right Cun position was deficient, indicating this was a variant manifestation of Sha syndrome. After performing *Guasha*, I prescribed Fangfeng San Sha Tang (Wind-Dispersing Sha-Scattering Decoction) added with Fumu (Fritillariae Bulbus) and Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), administered slightly cooled with Tongbian (Child's Urine), resulting in immediate recovery.
Wang Weicheng suffered from continuous choking coughs, edema of the face and eyes, incessant vomiting of phlegm, and even hemoptysis. Upon my diagnosis, the pulses in all six positions were wiry, tight, and rapid. This indicated that Sha toxin qi was agitated within the meridians and vessels, hence such a pulse presentation. Pricking the fingertips released toxic blood via three needle punctures, and extensive *Guasha* was performed. Baohua San (Precious Flower Powder) was taken slightly cooled with Tongbian (Child's Urine), followed by Yuanhong San (Round Red Powder) taken slightly warm, leading to recovery.
Pain without vomiting or diarrhea is named Gan Huoluan (Dry Cholera). If toxin enters the Blood level, bloodletting (*Fangsha*) is indicated. For recent food stagnation, emesis is appropriate; for long-standing food stagnation, digestion-promoting methods are used; for lower jiao accumulation, purgation is applied. Pain accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea indicates toxin entering the Qi level, making *Guasha* appropriate. If unresolved, observe for Sha veins and perform bloodletting; treatment should primarily focus on harmonizing Yin and Yang Qi. It must be understood that gastrointestinal food stagnation should be expelled, not arrested; arresting it will exacerbate pain. If pain occurs after vomiting and diarrhea, it is due to contact with foul exhalations from fecal discharge; treatment may slightly employ Huoxiang Zhengqi Lengdongyin (Agastache-Patchouli Corrective Beverage, served chilled). However, one must eliminate food stagnation and blood stasis through digestion, purgation, or blood-invigorating methods. Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma) and Fuling (Poria) should not be used indiscriminately; drying-dampness formulas are strictly contraindicated; warming medicines should not be administered recklessly.
Case Record 2:
Shen Zhuanyu suffered from Dry Cholera in September, experiencing severe abdominal pain coiling around the intestines. After thirty-plus needles of bloodletting and prior *Guasha* by Dr. Wang, he remained unwell. I prescribed Baohua San (Precious Flower Powder) combined with Dahuang Wan (Rhubarb Pill), administered slightly chilled with clear tea water, resulting in recovery.
Mr. Peng Ming suffered from severe abdominal pain at night, with dozens of episodes of vomiting and diarrhea, intensifying the pain. Upon diagnosis, the left pulse was hollow and slippery, while the right pulse was wiry, fine, and choppy. This indicated that old food stagnation had been exhausted through vomiting and diarrhea, and the pain was now caused by toxin entering the Blood level and blood stasis. Bloodletting was performed but failed to resolve the issue. Duohuo Honghua Tang (Angelicae Pubescentis and Safflower Decoction) and Yuanhong San (Round Red Powder) taken slightly warm reduced the vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. By the next day, after taking the previous medicine, all symptoms resolved.
The wife of Tong Jingqiao suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. After self-*Guasha* and consuming Yin-Yang Water, her pain intensified. I prescribed Sanxiang Wan (Three Fragrances Pill) administered slightly chilled, bringing relief.
