小柴胡汤。（第二十九方） 太阳病十天以后。脉象浮细且想睡觉的人，表示外邪已解。如果胸满痛，给予服用此方。如果脉象仅浮，给予麻黄汤。○伤寒五六天或中风，出现往来寒热。胸胁部苦痛。神情默默不欲饮食。心烦喜呕。或者胸中烦闷但不呕吐。或者口渴或腹中痛。或者胁下痞硬。或者心下悸动。小便不利。或者不渴。身体有微热。或者咳嗽者。以此方主治。○血气虚弱。正气耗尽。腠理开放。邪气趁机侵入，与正气相搏结。结于胁下。邪正分争。出现往来寒热。发作有时。神情默默不欲饮食。脏腑相连。疼痛部位往往在下。邪气高位而疼痛低位。所以引起呕吐。以此方主治。○服用柴胡汤后。出现口渴者，属于阳明病。按阳明法治之。○伤寒四五天。身热恶风。颈项强。胁下满。手足温而渴者。以此方主治。○伤寒阳脉涩。阴脉弦。按照法度应当腹中急痛。先给予小建中汤。如果不痊愈的，以此方主治。○太阳病。超过病程十余日。发汗吐下之后。四五天后柴胡汤证仍在者。先给予小柴胡汤。如果呕吐不止。心下急迫。郁郁微烦者。为病未解。给予大柴胡汤攻下即愈。○妇人中风七八天。持续出现寒热。发作有时。月经恰好中断者。此为热入血室。其血必结滞。所以症状像疟疾一样。以此方主治。○伤寒五六天。头汗出。微恶寒。手足冷。心下满。不欲食。大便硬。脉细者为阳微结。必定既有表证又有里证。脉沉也在里证范围内。汗出为阳气微。假如是纯阴结。不可能再有外证。全部入在里。此为半在里半在表。脉虽沉紧。不能诊断为
少阴病。之所以这样判断。是因为阴证不得有汗。现在头汗出。所以知道不是少阴病。可以给予服用此方。如果感觉心中不快。得大便通畅即可解除。○伤寒五六天。呕吐且发热者。柴胡汤证具备。却用其他药物攻下。柴胡证仍在者。再次给予柴胡汤。这虽然已经攻下。但不为误治。病人必定会蒸蒸而振栗。随后发热出汗而解。如果心下满而腹痛者。此为结胸证。大陷胸汤主治。只是满而不痛者。此为痞证。柴胡汤不适用。宜用半夏泻心汤。（以上属于太阳经范畴）○阳明病出现潮热。大便溏。小便正常。胸胁满闷不去者。给予服用此方。○阳明病。胁下硬满不大便而呕。舌上白苔者。可以给予服用此方。上焦得通。津液得以下行。胃气因而调和。身体自然汗出而解。○阳明中风。脉弦浮大而短气。腹部全面胀满。胁下及心痛。久按之气不通。鼻干不得汗。嗜卧。全身及眼睛都发黄。小便难。有潮热。时时哕逆。身体前后肿。针刺后稍好。外证未解。病过十日。脉继续浮者。以此方主治。（以上属于阳明经范畴）○太阳病不解。转入少阳。胁下硬满。干呕不能食。往来寒热。尚未进行吐下治疗。脉沉紧者。以此方主治。如果已经吐下发汗。温针谵语。小柴胡汤证消失。此为坏证。需查明犯了什么错误。依法治疗。（以上属于少阳经范畴）○呕吐且发热者适宜服用。○伤寒病愈后。后来又发热。以此方主治。脉浮者。用发汗法解除。脉沉实者。用攻下法解除。（属于辨别阴阳易瘥后劳复病的脉证）

Strain the dregs and take warm.
**Mahuang Shengma Tang (Ephedra and Cimicifuga Decoction)** (Formula 25) After six or seven days of Shanghan, following severe purgation, if the Cun (inch) pulse is deep and slow, hands and feet are cold and inverted, the lower pulses are imperceptible, the throat is obstructed, pus and blood are expectorated, and diarrhea persists without stopping, it is difficult to treat.

Strain the dregs and take warm. After approximately the time it takes to cook a meal, administer another dose. Recovery occurs with sweating.
**Gegen Tang (Kudzu Decoction)** (Formula 26) In Taiyang disease, if there is stiffness in the neck and back, anhidrosis, and aversion to wind, or if there is a concurrent Taiyang and Yangming disease resulting in spontaneous diarrhea, this formula is indicated. (This belongs to Taiyang.)
*Gegen* (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 2 liang) *Guizhi* (Cinnamomi Ramulus, remove bark) *Gancao* (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, honey-fried) *Shaoyao* (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1 liang each) *Mahuang* (Ephedrae Herba, 1.5 liang, remove joints, soak in hot water, drain yellow juice, dry and weigh)

Boil until eight-tenths of the liquid remains. Strain the dregs and take warm. Cover with blankets to induce sweating as the goal.
**Gegen Banxia Tang (Kudzu and Pinellia Decoction)** (Formula 27) In concurrent Taiyang and Yangming disease, if there is no diarrhea but only vomiting, this formula is indicated. (This belongs to Taiyang.)

Boil until eight-tenths of the liquid remains. Strain the dregs and take warm. Cover with blankets to induce slight sweating.
**Gegen Huangqin Huanglian Tang (Kudzu, Scutellaria, and Coptis Decoction)** (Formula 28) In Taiyang disease, if a patient presenting Guizhi Tang syndrome is incorrectly treated with purgatives, resulting in persistent diarrhea, and the pulse is rapid indicating the exterior pathogen has not resolved, accompanied by wheezing and sweating, this formula is indicated.
*Gegen* (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 4 liang) *Huangqin* (Scutellariae Radix, 1.5 liang) *Huanglian* (Coptidis Rhizoma, 6 liang; or 2.5 liang) *Gancao* (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, 2 liang, honey-fried)
Chop the herbs into pieces the size of hemp seeds. For each dose, take five *qian* of medicine. Add one and a half *zhan* of water. Boil until eight-tenths of the liquid remains. Strain the dregs and take warm. Administer two to three doses per day.
**Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction)** (Formula 29) If ten days have passed since Taiyang disease, and the pulse is floating and fine with a desire to sleep, the exterior has resolved. If there is chest fullness and pain, administer this formula. If the pulse is merely floating, administer Mahuang Tang. ○ In Shanghan for five to six days, or Wind Strike, presenting alternating chills and fever, bitter distension in the chest and hypochondrium, silent desire not to eat, irritability, and frequent vomiting, or alternatively chest irritability without vomiting, thirst, or abdominal pain, or hypochondriac hardness, or palpitations, or difficulty urinating, or no thirst, slight body heat, or cough, this formula is indicated. ○ When blood is deficient and Qi is exhausted, the pores open, allowing pathogenic factors to enter and contend with healthy Qi. They knot at the hypochondrium. The struggle between pathogen and healthy Qi causes alternating chills and fever, occurring at intervals. Silence and loss of appetite result. Since the zang-fu organs are connected, pain often radiates downward. Pathogen is high, pain is low, causing vomiting. This formula is indicated. ○ After taking Chaihu Tang, if thirst develops, it indicates Yangming disease; treat according to Yangming methods. ○ In Shanghan for four to five days, with body heat, aversion to wind, stiff neck, hypochondriac fullness, warm hands and feet, and thirst, this formula is indicated. ○ In Shanghan, if the Yang pulse is choppy and the Yin pulse is string-like, acute abdominal pain is expected according to protocol. First administer Xiaojianzhong Tang. If it does not heal, this formula is indicated. ○ In Taiyang disease, after more than ten days, following sweating, vomiting, and purgation, if the Xiaochaihu Tang syndrome persists after four to five days, first administer Xiaochaihu Tang. If vomiting persists, epigastric urgency, and slight depression/irritability occur, the disease is unresolved. Administer Daxiehu Tang to purge, which will lead to recovery. ○ In women with Wind Strike for seven to eight days, if alternating chills and fever continue at intervals, and menstruation happens to cease, this is Heat entering the Blood Chamber. The blood must clot, causing symptoms resembling malaria. This formula is indicated. ○ In Shanghan for five to six days, if there is head sweating, slight aversion to cold, cold hands and feet, epigastric fullness, loss of appetite, hard stool, and a thin pulse, this is a slight Yang knotting. There must be both exterior and interior involvement. A deep pulse also indicates interior involvement. Sweating indicates slight Yang deficiency. If it were pure Yin knotting, there would be no exterior signs, all being interior. This is half-exterior, half-interior. Even if the pulse is deep and tight, it cannot be diagnosed as
Shaoyin disease. The reason is that Yin syndromes do not present with sweating. Head sweating indicates it is not Shaoyin. This formula may be administered. If the patient feels unsettled, passing stool will resolve it. ○ In Shanghan for five to six days, if there is vomiting and fever, the Chaihu Tang syndrome is complete. If purgatives were incorrectly used, and the Chaihu syndrome persists, re-administer Chaihu Tang. Although purged, this is not a counter-indication. The patient will likely experience shivering followed by fever and sweating, leading to resolution. If there is epigastric fullness and abdominal pain, this is a Chest Binding (Jie Xiong); Da Xiexin Tang is indicated. If there is fullness without pain, this is a Pi (Glomus) syndrome; Chaihu Tang is not suitable. Banxia Xiexin Tang is appropriate. (Above belongs to Taiyang) ○ In Yangming disease, if there is tidal fever, loose stools, normal urination, and persistent hypochondriac fullness, administer this formula. ○ In Yangming disease, if there is hypochondriac hardness, constipation, vomiting, and a white coating on the tongue, this formula may be administered. Once the Upper Jiao is unblocked, fluids descend, Stomach Qi harmonizes, and natural sweating resolves the condition. ○ In Yangming Wind Strike, if the pulse is string-like, floating, large, with shortness of breath, general abdominal fullness, hypochondriac and cardiac pain, obstruction of Qi upon prolonged pressing, dry nose, inability to sweat, lethargy, generalized and ocular jaundice, difficult urination, tidal fever, occasional hiccups, swelling of the front and back of the body, acupuncture provides slight relief, but the exterior remains unresolved. If the disease lasts over ten days and the pulse continues to float, this formula is indicated. (Above belongs to Yangming) ○ If Taiyang disease does not resolve and transfers to Shaoyang, presenting with hypochondriac hardness, dry retching, inability to eat, alternating chills and fever, and before vomiting/purgation/sweating/warm needle therapy, if the pulse is deep and tight, this formula is indicated. If vomiting, purging, sweating, or warm needles have been used, causing delirium, and the Xiaochaihu Tang syndrome has ceased, this is a damaged syndrome. Determine the error and treat accordingly. (Above belongs to Shaoyang) ○ Vomiting with fever is suitable for administration. ○ After recovery from Shanghan, if fever recurs, this formula is indicated. If the pulse is floating, resolve with sweating. If the pulse is deep and solid, resolve with purging. (Belongs to differentiating Mai Zheng of post-illness labor recurrence)
