族弟:阴虚导致发热并咳血,脉象洪大而虚且急促,左关和左尺部位尤为明显。思虑积劳损伤身体已接近三年,肾中相火(龙雷之火)不能潜藏,直至真阴在内被灼烧,肺络受损,阴液更加亏虚,阳气更加炽盛。若不采用咸味药物以降逆气,很难迅速止血。使用秋石、阿胶、熟地黄、五味子、山药、百合、贝母、牡丹皮、白芍、淡菜熬制成膏剂。用藕汤送服,出血停止后亏损逐渐痊愈。
毛先生:因劳损导致的虚怯失血,寸脉和尺脉都呈现洪数之象,这是肺肾亏损的表现。使用三才汤加入牡丹皮、白芍、麦冬、鲜藕。服用几剂后出血停止,但仍有下午申时(晡时)发热和咳嗽症状,使用六味地黄丸去掉山茱萸和泽泻,加入五味子、白芍、龟板(炙)、阿胶。制成蜜丸服用,两料药全部康复。
丁先生:痰中带血点,小便后遗留浑浊液体,五更时分无梦而遗精,这是肾阴虚,相火旺盛所致。使用六味地黄丸去掉山茱萸,加入鱼鳔(炒)、莲须、菟丝饼,稍加黄柏(盐水炒),制成蜜丸。用淡盐汤送服,逐渐痊愈。
韦氏夫人:下午申时发热,呕吐咳嗽并痰中带血,这是上损(肺脏亏损)的征候。使用阿胶(蛤粉炒)、百合、茯神、鲜藕(各三钱)、党参、山药、白芍、牡丹皮(各二钱)、贝母(一钱)、五味子(四分)、红枣(五枚)。服用两剂后出血停止,热势逐渐减退,去掉牡丹皮、阿胶、鲜藕,加入瓜蒌仁。再服两剂,痰嗽也消除了。
眭先生:初夏咳血,直到深秋仍未停止。有人主张是燥火刑克肺金,有人主张是龙雷之火亢逆。诊察脉象右寸短涩,左关沉弦,应当主诉为忧郁思虑不舒,由气分损伤波及血络。自述每天午后喉间气机窒塞不利,则引发咳嗽并吐出血腥味。阳气主开泄,阴气主收敛,午后属于阳中之阴,主收敛,而气机通道阻塞闭滞,如果不是忧郁思虑的内因,不会达到这种程度。使用桔梗、贝母、木香、瓜蒌、茯神、当归、白芍、降香末。服用两剂,胃脘舒畅,出血停止,去掉木香、降香,加入郁金、熟地黄。再服两剂,脉象平和。又服用归脾汤去掉人参、白术,加入熟地黄、贝母、白芍、莲子而痊愈。
钱先生:失血三次,都是由进食引起。现在咳血又正好在饭时发生,自然是食物进入后气机阻滞于胃管呛出血液,所以吞咽唾液时胃脘间感觉像噎住一样。诊察各部脉象都呈弦象,适宜调理逆气兼修补渗漏的血络。使用瓜蒌、贝母、当归、玉竹、阿胶、红枣。服用痊愈后频繁饮用牛奶,永不复发。
黎先生:立冬后阳气潜伏在地中,龙潜海底,如今正值冬至,阳气始生,而龙火已经不再潜藏,导致半夜阳气升发,灰痰带血,右尺脉不平,这是知柏八味丸的适应症。又有素有肝气问题,左胁刺痛,则是龙雷之火交相燃烧。初服壮水潜阳的药物,痰血已经减少;继服加减归脾汤,左胁痛止,灰痰也变少,血丝变淡几乎看不见,脉症显示即将痊愈的迹象。昨天诊察只有肝脉稍弦,左尺脉强于右尺,说明水还能制约火。从此平心静气摄养,戒除愤怒节制欲望,明年春天木火不至偏旺,则完全康复可以期望。熟地黄(水煮)、牡丹皮(酒炒)、泽泻(盐水炒)、茯苓(乳蒸)、山药(炒)、远志(甘草汁炒)、白芍(炒)、女贞子、藕粉、淡菜、牡蛎(研碎)。炼蜜为丸服用。
蒋氏夫人:小产后痰嗽带血,下午怕冷夜间发热,食欲减退肌肉消瘦,脉象细小虚弱。此病损已久,胞系不固,堕胎后营卫更加受伤。适宜仿照立斋先生的治法,以甘温补阳则寒热可以减少。近人专门使用杏仁、贝母,希望咳嗽停止,恐怕寒凉药物损伤脾胃,反而导致无法救治。使用党参、山药、茯神、炙甘草、阿胶、白芍、五味子、枸杞子、莲子、红枣。服用几剂后颇感安宁。再加黄芪、鹿角霜,服用几剂后各种症状逐渐停止,饮食逐渐增加。后来又用丸方调理得以痊愈。
荆氏夫人:高龄老人饭后触怒,气机上逆血液涌溢,腹泻稀水,身体发热背部发冷,心烦头晕。经云:“怒则气逆,甚则呕血及飧泄”,所以导致气机上逆。病症由于肝阳郁结勃发,震伤血络,疏泄太过,木气必然侮土,胃中水谷不消化,更兼暑湿当令,地气泛潮,所以下迫暴注,气上逆导致中脘失去宽舒,主治以降逆为主,佐以消除胀满,则血归经脉而胃自然调和。使用厚朴(制)、山栀(炒)、郁金(磨汁)、苏梗、茯苓、薏苡仁、砂仁、降香、枳壳。喝一次后微微出汗,前面的症状消失。
戴氏夫人:情志内伤,火邪逼迫络脉损伤导致咳血,下午怕冷夜间发热,脉象右部虚弱,左部数急,营气受损卫气怯弱。先用滋润腻滑的药物修补络脉,育阴和阳。等到夏至阴气生长,阳气不加灼烧,恢复元气有望。阿胶(水化)、生地(炒)、麦冬(各一钱)、茯神(三钱)、枸杞子、山药、甜杏仁(均炒,二钱)、牡丹皮、石斛(各钱半)、五味子(焙,五分)。服用六剂后各种症状趋向安宁,只有胸部微痛,加入白芍(二钱)、瓜蒌皮(八分),疼痛停止。
王先生:淋证痊愈后,随即发生漏疡,必定是固涩药用得太早。疡医使用线药,脓管未拔除,忽然咳出血块,左脉虚弱,右尺脉搏指有力。这是龙火不潜藏,上表现为咯血,下表现为漏脓,劳累则淋证遗溺疼痛,如果不壮水制阳,漏孔怎能停止,形势将由下损及上,成为劳嗽,成为吐衄,肛漏怎么能平复呢?暂时服用煎剂,仿照虎潜丸加减,熟地黄(水煮)、龟胶、淡菜、白芍、当归、五味子、枸杞子、知母、黄柏(均酒炒)。服用六剂后脉症平和。后用炼蜜为丸,加入茯苓、山药、牡丹皮、牛膝。盐汤送服,漏疡也痊愈了。
史氏夫人:胸痛呕血,血色兼有红紫,头晕胃闷,脉象芤而微弱,这是忧思损伤营气,适宜收敛补益心神,兼舒解脾结。凡是离开脉络的血液颜色变为紫色,不一定是因为积聚瘀血所致。使用党参、茯神、白芍、五味子、枣仁、炙甘草、当归(醋炒)、合欢花、郁金、木香(均磨汁冲服)。服用三剂已经安宁,调理后寻回起色。
Clansman's younger brother: Yin deficiency causing fever and hemoptysis, with a pulse that is large, empty, and rapid, particularly pronounced at the left Guan (Hepatic) and Chi (Renal) positions. Accumulated damage from overthinking has lasted nearly three years; the "Dragon and Thunder" fire (hyperactive ministerial fire) fails to submerge, leading to the internal consumption of true Yin and injury to the lung collaterals. As Yin becomes increasingly deficient, Yang becomes increasingly hyperactive. Without using salty substances to descend rebellious Qi, it is unlikely to stop abruptly. Prepared a paste using Shich (Larimar/Stone Ash), Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Baihe (Lily Bulb), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), Baishao (White Peony Root), and Dancui (Seaweed). Administered with Lotus Root Decoction; bleeding ceased and the deficiency gradually healed.
Mr. Mao: Loss of blood due to consumptive fatigue, with both Cun (Inch) and Chi (Cubit) pulses appearing large and rapid, indicating Lung and Kidney deficiency. Prescribed Sancai Tang (Three Capacities Decoction) added with Danpi (Moutan Cortex), Baishao (White Peony Root), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), and fresh Lotus Root. After several doses, bleeding stopped, but afternoon fever and cough persisted. Prescribed Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) removing Yuzhu (Cornus Fruit) and Xie (Alisma Rhizome - *Note: Text says 'Xie', likely Ze泻*), adding Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit), Baishao (White Peony Root), Guiban (Tortoise Shell, prepared), and Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin). Made into honey pills; two courses resulted in complete recovery.
Mr. Ding: Blood spots in sputum, turbid discharge after urination, and nocturnal emission without dreams at the fifth watch (3-5 AM). This indicates Kidney Yin deficiency and strong ministerial fire. Prescribed Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) removing Yuzhu (Cornus Fruit), adding Huyao (Fish Maw, fried), Lianxu (Lotus Stamen), Tusiji Bing (Cuscuta Seed Cake), with a slight addition of Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark, salt-fried). Made into honey pills. Administered with light salt water; gradual recovery ensued.
Madam Wei: Afternoon fever, vomiting, coughing, and blood-streaked sputum, indicative of upper consumption (Lung deficiency). Prescribed Ejiao (fired with蛤粉 Ge Fen/Molluscum Shell Powder), Baihe (Lily Bulb), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), fresh Lotus Root (each 3 qian), Luzhen (Codonopsis Radix), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Baishao (White Peony Root), Danpi (Moutan Cortex) (each 2 qian), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb) (1 qian), Wuwei (Schisandra Fruit) (4 fen), and Red Dates (5 pieces). After two doses, bleeding stopped and fever subsided. Removed Danpi, Ejiao, and fresh Lotus Root; added Gualou Ren (Trichosanthes Seed). After two more doses, phlegm and cough were eliminated.
Mr. Sui: Hemoptysis began in early summer and persisted until late autumn. Some attributed it to dryness-fire punishing Metal (Lung); others to hyperactive Dragon-Thunder fire. Pulse diagnosis showed Right Cun as short and choppy, Left Guan as deep and wiry. This corresponds to suppressed worry and frustration, where Qi-level injury extends to the blood collaterals. He reported that every afternoon, qi stagnation in the throat leads to coughing up bloody sputum. Yang governs opening; Yin governs closing. The afternoon belongs to Yin within Yang, governing closure. Qi channel obstruction does not occur without internal factors like suppressed worry. Prescribed Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Muxiang (Aucklandia Root), Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Baishao (White Peony Root), and Jiangxiang Mo (Aquilaria Wood powder). After two doses, epigastric comfort returned and bleeding stopped. Removed Muxiang and Jiangxiang; added Yujin (Curcuma Tuber) and Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia Root). After two more doses, the pulse normalized. Subsequently prescribed Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) removing Renshen (Ginseng) and Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), adding Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Baishao (White Peony Root), and Lianzi (Lotus Seed) for cure.
Mr. Qian: Three episodes of blood loss, all triggered by eating. Current hemoptysis also occurs during meals, indicating that food entry obstructs Qi in the stomach tube, causing blood to spurt; thus, swallowing saliva feels like choking. All pulse positions are wiry. Treatment should regulate rebellious Qi and repair leaking collaterals. Prescribed Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Yuzhu (Polygonatum Odoratum Rhizome), Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), and Red Dates. Cured after administration; frequent consumption of cow's milk afterwards prevented recurrence.
Mr. Li: After Start of Winter, Yang hides in the earth, and dragons dive into the sea. Now at Winter Solstice, Yang begins to generate, but the dragon fire no longer hides, causing midnight Yang ascent, gray sputum with blood, and an uneven Right Chi pulse. This is an indication for Zhibai Bawei Wan (Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, and Eight-Ingredient Pill). Additionally, he has a history of Liver Qi stagnation causing stabbing pain in the left hypochondrium, indicating Dragon-Thunder fire flaring together. Initial treatment with drugs to strengthen Water and submerge Yang reduced sputum and blood. Subsequent treatment with Modified Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) stopped left hypochondriac pain, reduced gray sputum, and made blood streaks faint, signaling impending recovery. Yesterday’s pulse showed only slightly wiry Liver pulse, with Left Chi stronger than Right Chi, indicating Water can still control Fire. From now on, maintain a calm mind, restrain anger, and moderate desires. If Wood and Fire do not become excessive next spring, full recovery is expected. Shudi (water-boiled), Danpi (wine-fried), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome, salt-fried), Fuling (Poria, milk-steamed), Shanyao (stir-fried), Yuanzhi (Polygala Root, licorice juice-fried), Baishao (stir-fried), Nvzhenzi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit), Ou Fen (Lotus Root Powder), Dancui (Seaweed), Muli (Oyster Shell, crushed). Made into honey pills.
Madam Jiang: Sputum cough with blood after spontaneous abortion, aversion to cold in the afternoon, fever at night, decreased appetite, and emaciation, with a small and weak pulse. This chronic damage involves unstable uterine connections; post-abortion, Ying (Nutrient) and Wei (Defensive) Qi are further injured. It is appropriate to imitate Mr. Lizhai’s method: using sweet-warm herbs to tonify Yang will reduce chills and fever. Recent practitioners focus solely on Xingren (Apricot Seed) and Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb) hoping to stop cough, fearing that cold-natured herbs damage the Spleen, potentially leading to untreatable conditions. Prescribed Luzhen (Codonopsis Radix), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Zhigancao (Licorice Root, roasted), Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Baishao (White Peony Root), Wuwei (Schisandra Fruit), Qizi (Goji Berry), Lianzi (Lotus Seed), and Zao (Red Date). Several doses brought relief. Added Huangqi (Astragalus Root) and Lujiaoshuang (Deer Antler Frost); several more doses stopped various symptoms and increased appetite. Finally cured with pill formulation for regulation.
Madam Jing: Elderly patient became angry after eating, causing Qi to rise and blood to surge, profuse watery diarrhea, body heat with cold back, irritability, and dizziness. The Classics state: "Anger causes Qi rebellion; severely, it leads to vomiting blood and undigested stool diarrhea," hence Qi rises. The pathology stems from stagnant and exuberant Liver Yang, shaking blood collaterals, excessive dispersion, where Wood insults Earth. Undigested food in the Stomach, combined with Summerheat-Dampness commanding the season and damp earth rising, causes violent downward pressure. Upward Qi rebellion causes epigastric tightness. Treatment focuses on descending rebellion, assisted by eliminating fullness, so blood returns to vessels and the Stomach harmonizes. Prescribed Houpo (Magnolia Bark, processed), Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit, stir-fried), Yujin (Curcuma Tuber, ground), Sugeng (Perilla Stem), Fuling (Poria), Yiyi (Coix Seed), Sharen (Amomum Fruit), Jiangxiang (Aquilaria Wood), and Zhiqiao (Bitter Orange Fruit). One sip induced slight sweating, and previous symptoms vanished.
Madam Dai: Internal damage from emotions, fire forcing collateral injury causing coughing blood, aversion to cold in the afternoon, fever at night, Right pulse empty, Left pulse rapid. Ying deficiency and Wei timidity. First use rich, moistening herbs to repair collaterals, nourish Yin and harmonize Yang. Wait until Summer Solstice when Yin generates, preventing Yang from scorching, allowing recovery. Ejiao (dissolved in water), Shengdi (Raw Rehmannia Root, stir-fried), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber) (each 1 qian), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood) (3 qian), Qizi (Goji Berry), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Tian Xingren (Sweet Apricot Seed, all stir-fried) (each 2 qian), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), Shihu (Dendrobium Stem) (each 1.5 qian), Wuwei (Schisandra Fruit, baked) (5 fen). Six doses brought general peace; only slight chest pain remained. Added Baishao (White Peony Root) (2 qian) and Lou Pi (Trichosanthes Peel) (8 fen); pain ceased.
Mr. Wang: After cure of strangury, a fistula appeared, likely due to premature use of astringent herbs. The surgeon used thread medication; before the pus tract was removed, sudden hemoptysis occurred. Left pulse empty, Right Chi pulse forceful against the finger. This indicates Dragon Fire failing to submerge, manifesting above as hemoptysis and below as purulent leakage. Fatigue causes strangury and painful urination. Without strengthening Water to control Yang, how can the leak cease? The condition may progress from lower damage to upper damage, becoming consumptive cough or hematemesis/hemoptysis; anal fistula cannot heal easily. Temporarily administer decoction, imitating modified Hujian Wan (Tiger-Knee Pill): Shudi (water-boiled), Guijiao (Turtle Shell Gelatin), Dancui (Seaweed), Baishao (White Peony Root), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Wuwei (Schisandra Fruit), Qizi (Goji Berry), Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark, all wine-fried). Six doses normalized pulse and symptoms. Later made into honey pills with Fuling (Poria), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), and Niuxi (Achyranthes Root). Administered with salt water; fistula also healed.
Madam Shi: Chest pain and hematemesis, blood color mixed red and purple, dizziness and epigastric stuffiness, pulse Kou (hollow) and faint. This indicates worry and thought damaging Ying Qi. Treatment should astringe and tonify Heart Spirit, while soothing Spleen constraint. Any blood leaving the vessels turning purple is not necessarily due to accumulated stasis. Prescribed Luzhen (Codonopsis Radix), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Baishao (White Peony Root), Wuwei (Schisandra Fruit), Zaoren (Ziziphus Seed), Zhigancao (Licorice Root, roasted), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root, vinegar-fried), Hehuanhua (Albizia Flower), Yujin (Curcuma Tuber), Muxiang (Aucklandia Root) (all ground into juice and taken). Three doses brought peace; recovery followed with regulation.
