脉象:《脉诀》说:脉象虚而身体发热,这是因伤暑所致。脉象浮且自汗,或者浮大而散,或者洪大,或者弦细芤迟且隐伏微弱,或者在虚迟无力的脉象中兼见洪缓之象,都称为暑病。若脉象浮而虚,则是暑风。
症状:戴氏说:暑是夏季的炎热之气。有冒暑、伤暑、中暑三种,三者有轻重之分。如果腹痛泄泻如水,是胃与大肠受邪;作呕者,是因为胃口有痰。这两种情况属于冒暑。适宜用黄连退暑热,香薷消蓄水。如果出现身热头痛、烦躁不安,或者身体感觉如针刺般疼痛,这是伤暑,属于热邪损伤血分。适宜用人参白虎汤,加黄芩、柴胡。如果有咳嗽、发热恶寒、盗汗不止、脉数者,说明热在肺经,这是火克金(火乘金)。这属于中暑。适宜用清肺黄连香薷饮、清暑益气汤等方剂。急治可以痊愈,稍迟缓则难以治疗。暑风,是相火当令之时感受邪气所致。邪气从口鼻而入,侵犯心包络经脉,所以突然昏倒不省人事。其脉象虚浮,外症表现为头疼口干、面部污垢、自汗、倦怠少气,或者背部怕冷但厌恶热气,这叫暑风。
治法:按洁古先生所说,动而得之,是指辛勤劳作之人,活动时火气胜,热邪伤气。脉象洪大,适宜用人参白虎汤主治。静而得之,是指安逸之人,静止时湿气胜,火邪伤肺(金位)。脉象沉实,适宜用大顺散或苍术白虎汤主治。有阴胜阳者,适宜用清暑益气汤。大体上暑症,只适宜用黄连香薷饮、清暑益气汤、五苓散、白虎汤等药物。挟痰者,加半夏;体虚者,加人参之类。暑风,有挟火挟痰者,用二陈汤加黄连主治。实证者,可用吐法。昏迷不省人事者,先用苏合香丸,再用黄连香薷饮加羌活,或者用双解散加香薷,尤其妙效。
方剂:黄连香薷饮治疗暑症,自汗,烦渴而噪扰。

(Shangshu [Heatstroke due to Injury], Huoluan [Cholera-like Syndrome], Xiexie [Diarrhea], Liji [Dysentery], Nueji [Malaria])
Pulse: The *Mai Jue* (Classic of Pulses) states: A deficient pulse accompanied by body heat indicates injury from summerheat. A floating pulse with spontaneous sweating, or a large and scattered pulse, or a surging pulse, or a string-taut, fine, hollow, slow, and hidden pulse, or a weak pulse, or a surging and moderate pulse amidst a deficient and slow, forceless pulse, are all termed Summerheat Disease. If the pulse is floating and deficient, it is Shufeng [Summerwind].
Symptoms: Dai Shi stated: Summerheat is the scorching qi of summer. There are three types: Maoshu [Encountering Summerheat], Shangshu [Injury from Summerheat], and Zhongshu [Struck by Summerheat], which differ in severity. If there is abdominal pain and watery diarrhea, the Stomach and Large Intestine are affected; if vomiting occurs, it is due to phlegm in the stomach opening. These two conditions belong to Maoshu. It is appropriate to use Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) to clear summerheat-heat, and Xiangru (Moslae Herba) to resolve accumulated water. If there is body heat, headache, restlessness, or a sensation like needle pricks on the body, this is Shangshu, where heat injures the Blood level. It is appropriate to use Renshen Baihu Tang (Ginseng White Tiger Decoction), adding Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix). If there is cough, fever alternating with chills, unremitting night sweats, and a rapid pulse, the heat is in the Lung Meridian, representing Fire overcoming Metal. This is Zhongshu. It is appropriate to use Qingfei Huanglian Xiangru Yin (Lung-Clearing Coptis and Mosla Decoction) or Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Boost Qi Decoction). If treated urgently, recovery is possible; if delayed, it becomes difficult to treat. Shufeng [Summerwind] occurs when the Ministerial Fire is in command, and pathogenic factors enter via the mouth and nose, invading the Pericardium Meridian, causing sudden collapse and loss of consciousness. The pulse is floating and deficient. External symptoms include headache, dry mouth, greasy face, spontaneous sweating, fatigue, shortness of breath, aversion to cold on the back but aversion to heat. This is named Shufeng.
Treatment: According to Jiegu, "obtained through movement" refers to laborers whose activity causes Fire to prevail, injuring Qi with Heat. The pulse is surging and large; Ren Shen Baihu Tang (Ginseng White Tiger Decoction) is indicated. "Obtained through stillness" refers to those living in comfort, where Stillness causes Dampness to prevail, injuring the Metal position (Lungs) with Fire. The pulse is deep and solid; Da Shun San (Great Harmony Powder) or Cangzhu Baihu Tang (Atractylodes White Tiger Decoction) is indicated. In cases of Yin prevailing over Yang, Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Boost Qi Decoction) is indicated. Generally, for Summerheat syndromes, only Huanglian Xiangru Yin (Coptis and Mosla Decoction), Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Boost Qi Decoction), Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria), and Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) are suitable. For cases complicated by Phlegm, add Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma); for deficiency, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), etc. For Shufeng [Summerwind] complicated by Fire and Phlegm, Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) with added Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) is used. For excess patterns, emesis may be induced. For coma and loss of consciousness, first administer Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill), followed by Huanglian Xiangru Yin (Coptis and Mosla Decoction) with added Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), or Shuangjie San (Double Release Powder) with added Xiangru (Moslae Herba), which is particularly excellent.
Formulas: Huanglian Xiangru Yin (Coptis and Mosla Decoction) treats Summerheat syndromes with spontaneous sweating, vexatious thirst, and restlessness.

For Summerheat Thirst, add Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (2 qian), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Jingmi (Oryza Sativa Germen) (each 1.5 qian).
During the period of latent Summerheat, with headache, body heat, weak legs, shortness of spirit, weakness in four limbs, lack of appetite, lethargy, and propensity to lie down (commonly called Zhu Xia [Attaching Summer]), add Baishao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (each 1 qian), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (0.7 fen), remove Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) and Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride).
