〔贼风偏枯〕
药隐老人云∶偏枯者，其状半身不随，肌肉枯瘦，骨间疼痛，神智如常，名曰偏枯也。
原其疾之由，皆因阴阳偏亏，脏腑怯弱，经络空虚，血气不足，当风冲坐，风邪乘虚而
入。《内经》云∶汗出偏沮，使人偏枯。详其义理，如树木或有一边津液不荫注而先枯槁，
然后被风所害。人之身体，或有一边血气不能荣养而先枯槁，然后被风所苦，其理显然。
王子亨云∶舟行于水，人处于风，水能泛舟而亦能覆舟，风能养体而亦能害体。盖谓船
漏水入，体漏风伤。古人有云∶医风先医血，血行风自灭是也，治之先宜养血，然后驱风，
无不愈者。宜用大八风汤、增损茵芋酒、续断汤。
〔大〕贼风偏枯者，是体偏虚受风，风客于半身也。人有劳伤血气，半身偏虚者，风
乘虚入客于半体，名为偏风也。其风邪入深，真气去，邪气留，发为偏枯，此由血气衰损，
为风所客，令血气不相周荣于肌，故令偏枯也。
〔薛〕医风先医血，此论得之。大抵此证多因胎前产后，失于调养，以致精血干涸，
肝木枯槁，治法当滋其化源。考之《生气通天论》曰∶风客淫气，精乃亡，邪伤肝也。
《阴阳应象大论》曰∶风气通于肝，风搏则热盛，热盛则水干，水干则气不荣，故精乃亡。
此风病之所由作也。一妇人性善怒，常自汗，月经先期。余以为肝火血热，不信，乃
泛用降火之剂，反致月经过期；复因劳怒，口噤呻吟，肢体不遂，六脉洪大，面目赤色。用

不要让人顾虑是否属于虚证。凡是因风邪侵袭导致无汗的，是因为腠理闭塞，邪气无法通过汗液排出，这种情况适合用发汗法治疗。但如果治疗自汗的患者却再用麻黄，就会导致津液进一步耗散流失，反而造成严重的危害。对于中风伴有自汗的情况，虽然张仲景使用桂枝汤治疗，但对于那些抽搐不止、口眼歪动、全身出汗的人，难道能靠逐一对症处理来治愈吗？在这种情况下，独活汤和续命煮散能够恢复营卫之气，驱除风邪，是不可缺少的方剂。
〔薛己〕上述病症如果是因为腠理不固而自汗的，使用桂枝汤或防风白术牡蛎汤。如果是过度服用祛风药而导致自汗的，使用白术防风汤。如果是阳气虚弱而自汗的，使用附子汤（原文漏字，据方名补）。如果兼有盗汗，使用补中益气汤送服六味丸。如果无效，使用当归六黄汤。
独活汤 治疗风虚引起的头昏神志不清，不知觉自身状况，手足抽搐，坐卧不安，或者出现寒热症状，以及血虚不能耐受发汗药，还有中风自汗者，尤其适宜服用此方。

〔贼风偏枯〕
药隐老人说：偏枯的症状是半身不能随意运动，肌肉枯瘦，骨间疼痛，神智清醒正常，这叫做偏枯。推究这种疾病的成因，都是因为阴阳偏颇亏损，脏腑怯弱，经络空虚，血气不足，坐在风口处受风吹，风邪乘虚而入。《内经》说：汗出偏沮（身体一侧出汗），使人发生偏枯。详细分析其义理，就像树木有一边的津液不能滋润灌注而先干枯，然后被风所害。人的身体，如果有一边的血气不能荣养而先干枯，然后被风邪所苦，道理是很明显的。
王子亨说：船行于水，人处于风中，水能浮起船也能翻覆船，风能滋养身体也能伤害身体。大概是指船漏水入内，人体漏风受伤。古人有句话说：治风先治血，血行风自灭，这是对的。治疗时先宜养血，然后驱风，没有不痊愈的。适宜使用大八风汤、增损茵芋酒、续断汤。
〔大论〕贼风偏枯，是身体偏侧虚弱受风，风邪客居在半身。人有劳伤血气的情况，半身偏虚的，风邪乘虚侵入客居于半体，名叫偏风。如果风邪深入，真气离去，邪气停留，发作成为偏枯，这是由于血气衰损，被风邪客居，使得血气不能在肌肤中相互周流荣养，所以导致偏枯。
〔薛己〕“治风先治血”，这个论点是对的。大体上此证多因为胎前产后，失于调养，导致精血干涸，肝木枯槁，治法应当滋生化之源。考证《生气通天论》说：风邪客居淫乱正气，精气乃亡，邪气伤肝。《阴阳应象大论》说：风气通于肝，风搏结则热盛，热盛则肾水干，肾水干则气不能荣养，所以精气乃亡。这就是风病产生的原因。有一位妇人性格易怒，经常自汗，月经提前。我认为她是肝火血热，她不信，于是泛用降火药物，反而导致月经延期；后来又因劳累愤怒，牙关紧闭呻吟，肢体不能随意运动，六脉洪大，面目赤色。我用八珍汤、麦门冬、五味子、山栀、丹皮，数剂后逐渐好转。又配合使用逍遥散、六味丸各三十余剂，完全痊愈。

以上用绢袋装药，用酒一斗浸泡十日，每次服用一盏，温饮。
〔偏风口眼歪斜〕
妇女偏风口眼歪斜，是身体虚弱受风，风邪进入夹口的筋脉。足阳明经的筋，上行夹于口旁，如果那部分筋脉偏虚，风邪便乘虚而入，使筋脉偏侧拘急不调，所以导致口眼歪斜。
〔薛己〕一位妇人怀抱郁结，筋挛骨痛，喉间似有一核（梅核气），服用乌药顺气等药后，出现口眼歪斜，手臂难以伸举，痰涎增多，内有热感且傍晚发热，食少体倦。我认为这是郁火伤脾，血燥生风，使用加味归脾汤二十剂，形体逐渐健壮，饮食逐渐增加。又使用加味逍遥散十余剂，痰热稍退，喉核稍消。更使用升阳益胃汤数剂，各种症状逐渐痊愈。但手臂不能伸展，这是肝经血少导致筋挛，使用六味地黄丸以滋补肾水，生养肝血而痊愈。

Do not let people worry about whether it is a deficiency syndrome. Whenever wind-pathogen invades and causes anhidrosis (absence of sweating), it is because the couli (pores) are closed, and the pathogen cannot be discharged through sweat; this situation is suitable for treatment with diaphoresis (sweating method). However, if Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) is used to treat patients with spontaneous sweating, it will cause further depletion and loss of body fluids, resulting in severe harm. For stroke accompanied by spontaneous sweating, although Zhang Zhongjing used Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction), how can one cure cases where convulsions do not stop, mouth and eyes twitch, and the whole body sweats merely by treating each symptom individually? At such times, Duhuo Tang (Angelica Pubescens Decoction) and Xuming Zhusan (Xuming Boiled Powder) are indispensable as they restore Ying-Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) and expel wind-pathogen.
[Xue Ji] If the aforementioned symptoms involve spontaneous sweating due to insecure couli, use Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) or Fangfeng Baizhu Muli San (Saposhnikovia, Atractylodes Macrocephala and Oyster Shell Powder). If spontaneous sweating results from excessive use of wind-expelling drugs, use Baizhu Fangfeng Tang (Atractylodes Macrocephala and Saposhnikovia Decoction). If it is caused by deficient Yang Qi, use Fuzi Tang (Aconite Root Decoction). If accompanied by night sweating, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) taken with Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia). If ineffective, use Danggui Liuhuang Tang (Angelica Sinensis and Rhizoma Chuanbeimu Decoction).
Duhuo Tang (Angelica Pubescens Decoction) treats dizziness and confusion due to wind-deficiency, unawareness of one's own condition, spasms of hands and feet, inability to sit or lie comfortably, alternating chills and fever, blood deficiency that cannot tolerate diaphoretic drugs, and spontaneous sweating in stroke; it is especially suitable for these conditions.

Xuming Zhusan (Xuming Boiled Powder) treats stagnation of wind-qi causing mental confusion, weakness in four limbs, deviation of mouth and eyes, occasional convulsions, loss of body fluids, thirst, and desire to drink. This formula supports Ying-Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) and dispels empty wind; it is especially suitable for spontaneous sweating in stroke and postpartum stroke with spontaneous sweating.

[Wind of Thieves and Hemiplegia]
The Old Man Yaoyin said: The manifestation of hemiplegia (piangu) is paralysis of half the body, emaciation of muscles, pain between bones, while mental clarity remains normal; this is called hemiplegia. Investigating the origin of this disease, it is all due to imbalance and deficiency of Yin and Yang, weakness of Zang-Fu organs, emptiness of meridians, and insufficiency of Blood and Qi. Sitting in the wind allows the wind-pathogen to enter via deficiency. The *Neijing* states: "Sweating on only one side leads to hemiplegia." Analyzing its meaning, it is like a tree where one side lacks fluid nourishment and dries up first, then suffers damage from wind. Similarly, in the human body, if one side lacks Blood and Qi nourishment and dries up first, it then suffers from wind-pathogen; the principle is clear.
Wang Ziheng said: A boat floats on water but can also capsize; wind nourishes the body but can also harm it. This means just as water leaks into a boat, wind enters a leaking body. The ancients said: "To treat wind, first treat Blood; when Blood flows, wind extinguishes itself." Treatment should first nourish Blood, then expel wind, ensuring recovery. Suitable formulas include Da Bafeng Tang (Great Eight-Wind Decoction), Zengsun Yinyu Jiu (Modified Yinyu Wine), and Xuduan Tang (Dipsacus Decoction).
[Grand Theory] Wind of thieves and hemiplegia occurs when one side of the body is deficient and receives wind, with wind lodging in half the body. People who have injured their Blood and Qi through labor, leaving one side deficient, allow wind-pathogen to enter that half-body, named Pi Feng (Half-Body Wind). If the wind-pathogen penetrates deeply, True Qi departs, and Evil Qi remains, developing into hemiplegia. This is due to decline and damage of Blood and Qi, allowing wind to lodge, preventing Blood and Qi from circulating and nourishing the muscles, thus causing hemiplegia.
[Xue Ji] "To treat wind, first treat Blood" is correct. Generally, this syndrome often arises from poor care during pregnancy or postpartum, leading to exhaustion of Essence and Blood, and desiccation of Liver Wood. The treatment method should nourish the source of transformation. Referencing the *Shengqi Tongtian Lun*: "Wind lodges and disrupts Qi, Essence is lost, and Evil injures the Liver." The *Yinyang Yingxiang Dalun* states: "Wind Qi connects with the Liver; wind constraint causes Heat excess; Heat excess dries Water; dried Water fails to nourish Qi, so Essence is lost." This is how wind diseases arise. A woman prone to anger had frequent spontaneous sweating and early menstruation. I diagnosed Liver Fire and Blood Heat. She did not believe me and indiscriminately used cooling-draining agents, which instead caused delayed menstruation. Later, due to fatigue and anger, she developed trismus (lockjaw), groaning, limb immobility, surging pulses, and red face. I used Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Wuweizi (Fructus Schisandrae), Zhizi (Fructus Gardeniae), and Danpi (Cortex Moutan). After several doses, she gradually improved. Combined with Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) and Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia), each taken for over thirty doses, she fully recovered.
Da Bafeng Tang (Great Eight-Wind Decoction) treats stroke hemiplegia, aphonia, hemiplegia, and occasional mental confusion.

[Mouth Deviation]
Women with mouth deviation due to wind suffer from body deficiency receiving wind, where wind enters the tendons flanking the mouth. The tendons of the Foot-Yangming Meridian ascend flanking the mouth; if these tendons are deficient on one side, wind enters via deficiency, causing unilateral tendon tension and irregularity, leading to mouth deviation.
[Xue Ji] A woman with emotional depression suffered tendon spasms and bone pain, feeling a lump in the throat. After taking Ushunqi San (Tsaoko Fruit Regulating Qi Powder), she developed facial paralysis, difficulty extending arms, increased phlegm-saliva, internal heat, afternoon fever, poor appetite, and fatigue. I diagnosed Depression-Fire injuring Spleen and Blood Dryness generating Wind. I used Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Restore the Spleen Decoction) for twenty doses, improving her physique and diet. Then Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) for over ten doses, reducing phlegm-heat and the throat lump. Further, Shengyang Yiewei Tang (Raise Yang and Benefit Stomach Decoction) for several doses, resolving most symptoms. However, arm extension remained impaired due to Liver Blood deficiency causing tendon spasm. I used Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) to nourish Kidney Water and generate Liver Blood, resulting in recovery.

Treating Mouth Deviation

Sit over a copper basin containing hot water, steaming the medicine. Wash off immediately once the face straightens. (Alternative: Use Badou (Crotonis Fructus) instead of Bamiaz. From *Bencao*).
