劳伤则血气虚，使阴阳不和，互有胜弱故也。阳胜则热，阴胜则寒，阴阳相乘，故发寒
此由劳损血气，阴阳断隔，冷热不通，上焦生热，令口干燥也。其汤熨针石，别有正方
。补养宣导，今附于后。
《养生方·导引法》云∶东向坐，仰头不息五通，以舌撩口中，漱满二七，咽。愈口干
。若引肾水发醴泉，来至咽喉。醴泉甘美，能除口苦，恒香洁，食甘味和正。久行不已，味
如甘露，无有饥渴。
又云∶东向坐，仰头不息五通，以舌撩口，漱满二七，咽。治口苦干燥。
夫蒸病有五∶一曰骨蒸，其根在肾，旦起体凉，日晚即热，烦躁，寝不能安，食无味，
小便赤黄，忽忽烦乱，细喘无力，腰疼，两足逆冷，手心常热。蒸盛过，伤内则变为疳，食
人五脏。二曰脉蒸，其根在心，日增烦闷，掷手出足，翕翕思水，口唾白沫，睡即浪言；或
惊恐不定，脉数。若蒸盛之时，或变为疳，脐下闷；或暴利不止。三曰皮蒸，其根在肺，必
大喘鼻干，口中无水，舌上白，小便赤如血。蒸盛之时，胸满，或自称得注热，两胁下胀，
大嗽，口内唾血。四曰肉蒸，其根在脾，体热如火，
烦躁无汗，心腹鼓胀，食即欲呕，小便如血，大便秘涩。蒸盛之时，身肿目赤，寝卧不安。
五曰内蒸，亦名血蒸。所以名内蒸者，必外寒而内热，把手附骨而内热甚，其根在五脏六腑
。其人必因患后得之，骨肉自消，饭食无味，或皮燥而无光泽。蒸盛之时，四肢渐细，足趺
肿起。
又有二十三蒸∶一胞蒸，小便黄赤；二玉房蒸，男则遗沥漏精，女则月候不调；三脑蒸
，头眩闷热；四髓蒸，髓沸热；五骨蒸，齿黑；六筋蒸，甲焦；七血蒸，发焦；八脉蒸，脉
不调；九肝蒸，眼黑；十心蒸，舌干；十一脾蒸，唇焦；十二肺蒸，鼻干；十三肾蒸，两耳
焦；十四膀胱蒸，右耳偏焦；十五胆蒸，眼白失色；十六胃蒸，舌下痛；十七小肠蒸，下唇
焦；十八大肠蒸，鼻右孔干痛；十九三焦蒸，亦杂病乍寒乍热；二十肉蒸；二十一肤蒸；二
十二皮蒸；二十三气蒸，遍身热。
凡诸蒸患，多因热病患愈后，食牛羊肉及肥腻，或酒或房，触犯而成此疾。久蒸不除，
多变成疳，必须先防下部，不得轻妄治也。
劳损会导致血气虚弱，使得阴阳失调，彼此之间出现偏盛与偏弱的情况。阳气偏胜则表现为热证，阴气偏胜则表现为寒证，阴阳相互侵扰，因此会出现发冷的症状。
这是由于劳损导致血气亏损，阴阳之气断绝阻隔，冷热气机不通畅，上焦产生热邪，从而导致口干燥。对于此类病症，汤药、熨法、针刺和砭石治疗各有专门的方剂。补益调养和导引宣通的方法，现在附在后面。
《养生方·导引法》中说：面向东方坐定，仰头憋气五次，用舌头在口中搅动，漱口七次（十四下），然后咽下津液。这样可以治愈口干。如果能使肾水上升化为醴泉（唾液），流至咽喉。醴泉甘甜美味，能消除口苦，使口腔保持清香洁净，饮食味道调和中正。长期坚持练习，味觉如同甘露，不再有饥饿和口渴的感觉。
又说：面向东方坐定，仰头憋气五次，用舌头在口中搅动，漱口七次，然后咽下。用于治疗口苦和口干燥。
蒸病有五种：第一种是骨蒸，其根源在肾，早晨起床时身体凉爽，到了傍晚就发热，心烦急躁，睡眠不安稳，吃东西没有味道，小便颜色深黄，精神恍惚烦乱，呼吸细微且无力，腰部疼痛，两脚逆冷，手心经常发热。如果蒸热过盛，损伤内脏就会变成疳积，侵蚀人的五脏。第二种是脉蒸，其根源在心，每天增加烦闷感，甩手踢脚，微微想喝水，口吐白沫，睡觉时说胡话；或者惊恐不定，脉搏快速。如果在蒸热严重时，可能会变成疳积，脐下感到闷胀；或者发生严重的腹泻不止。第三种是皮蒸，其根源在肺，一定会有大口喘气、鼻干、口中无水、舌苔发白、小便赤红如血的症状。在蒸热严重时，胸部满闷，或者自述得了注热，两胁下胀满，剧烈咳嗽，口中唾血。第四种是肉蒸，其根源在脾，身体发热如火，心烦急躁无汗，心腹部鼓胀，进食就想呕吐，小便如血，大便秘结涩滞。在蒸热严重时，身体浮肿眼睛发红，睡眠躺卧不安稳。第五种是内蒸，也叫血蒸。之所以叫内蒸，是因为必定外寒而内热，把手贴在骨头上感觉内部热势很甚，其根源在五脏六腑。这种人一定是因为患病后得的，骨肉自行消瘦，吃饭没有味道，或者皮肤干燥而没有光泽。在蒸热严重时，四肢逐渐变细，足背肿胀隆起。
又有二十三蒸：第一是胞蒸，小便黄赤；第二是玉房蒸，男性则遗精漏精，女性则月经不调；第三是脑蒸，头晕闷热；第四是髓蒸，骨髓沸腾发热；第五是骨蒸，牙齿变黑；第六是筋蒸，指甲干枯；第七是血蒸，头发干枯；第八是脉蒸，脉搏不调；第九是肝蒸，眼睛发黑；第十是心蒸，舌头干燥；第十一是脾蒸，嘴唇焦裂；第十二是肺蒸，鼻子干燥；第十三是肾蒸，两只耳朵干枯；第十四是膀胱蒸，右耳偏侧干枯；第十五是胆蒸，眼白失去色泽；第十六是胃蒸，舌下疼痛；第十七是小肠蒸，下唇干枯；第十八是大肠蒸，右鼻孔干燥疼痛；第十九是三焦蒸，也是杂病忽冷忽热；第二十是肉蒸；第二十一是肤蒸；第二十二是皮蒸；第二十三是气蒸，全身发热。
凡是各种蒸病，多因热病痊愈后，食用牛羊肉及肥腻食物，或者饮酒或行房事，触犯禁忌而形成的疾病。长期蒸热不除，大多会变成疳积，必须先预防下部病变，不能轻率妄加治疗。
Labor and injury lead to the deficiency of blood and qi, causing an imbalance between yin and yang, resulting in mutual excess and weakness. When yang is in excess, heat occurs; when yin is in excess, cold occurs. The mutual invasion of yin and yang thus causes chills.
This condition arises from labor-induced damage to blood and qi, leading to a severance and blockage between yin and yang, preventing the smooth flow of cold and hot energies. Heat generated in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner) causes dryness of the mouth. For such conditions, decoctions, moxibustion/warming therapies, acupuncture, and stone needles have specific prescriptions. Methods for tonification, nourishment, and guidance/exercise are attached below.
The "Health Preservation Formulas · Guidance Methods" states: Sit facing east, tilt the head back and hold the breath five times. Move the tongue within the mouth, rinse with saliva fourteen times (two sets of seven), and then swallow. This cures dry mouth. If one can guide kidney water to rise and transform into "Liquor Spring" (sweet saliva) reaching the throat, the Liquor Spring will be sweet and delicious, eliminating bitter taste in the mouth, keeping it fragrant and clean, and harmonizing the taste of food. Long-term practice makes the taste like sweet dew, eliminating hunger and thirst.
It also states: Sit facing east, tilt the head back and hold the breath five times. Move the tongue within the mouth, rinse with saliva fourteen times, and then swallow. This treats bitter taste and dryness of the mouth.
There are five types of steaming disorders:
1. Bone Steaming (Gu Zheng): Its root is in the Kidney. The body is cool upon waking but becomes hot in the evening. There is irritability, restless sleep, loss of appetite, dark yellow urine, mental confusion, shortness of breath with weakness, lower back pain, cold feet, and hot palms. If the steaming heat becomes excessive and damages the interior, it transforms into Infantile Malnutrition (Gan Syndrome), consuming the five Zang organs.
2. Vessel Steaming (Mai Zheng): Its root is in the Heart. Irritation and oppression increase daily. The patient throws hands and kicks feet, desires water slightly, produces white froth in the mouth, and speaks incoherently during sleep. Or there is fear and instability, with a rapid pulse. During severe steaming, it may transform into Gan Syndrome, causing oppression below the navel or severe diarrhea that does not stop.
3. Skin Steaming (Pi Zheng): Its root is in the Lung. There must be severe panting, dry nose, lack of moisture in the mouth, white coating on the tongue, and urine as red as blood. During severe steaming, there is chest fullness, or the patient claims to have contracted "Injection Heat," distension under both hypochondria, severe cough, and spitting of blood.
4. Flesh Steaming (Rou Zheng): Its root is in the Spleen. The body feels hot like fire, with irritability and no sweat. There is abdominal distension, nausea after eating, urine resembling blood, and constipation. During severe steaming, the body swells, eyes become red, and sleep is restless.
5. Interior Steaming (Nei Zheng), also called Blood Steaming. It is named so because there is external cold but internal heat, with intense heat felt when touching the bones. Its root lies in the Five Zang and Six Fu organs. This condition usually follows an illness, leading to emaciation of flesh and bone, loss of appetite, or dry, lusterless skin. During severe steaming, limbs gradually thin, and the dorsum of the foot swells.
There are also twenty-three types of steaming disorders:
1. Bladder Steaming: Yellow-red urine.
2. Jade Chamber Steaming: In men, seminal emission and leakage; in women, irregular menstruation.
3. Brain Steaming: Dizziness and muggy heat.
4. Marrow Steaming: Boiling heat in the marrow.
5. Bone Steaming: Blackening of teeth.
6. Tendon Steaming: Dryness of nails.
7. Blood Steaming: Dryness of hair.
8. Vessel Steaming: Irregular pulse.
9. Liver Steaming: Dark vision.
10. Heart Steaming: Dry tongue.
11. Spleen Steaming: Chapped lips.
12. Lung Steaming: Dry nose.
13. Kidney Steaming: Dryness of both ears.
14. Bladder Steaming: Dryness of the right ear.
15. Gallbladder Steaming: Loss of color in the whites of the eyes.
16. Stomach Steaming: Pain under the tongue.
17. Small Intestine Steaming: Dryness of the lower lip.
18. Large Intestine Steaming: Dryness and pain in the right nostril.
19. Sanjiao Steaming: Alternating chills and fever in miscellaneous diseases.
20. Flesh Steaming.
21. Skin Steaming.
22. Epidermis Steaming.
23. Qi Steaming: Generalized body heat.
All various steaming disorders mostly occur after the recovery from febrile diseases, triggered by consuming beef, mutton, fatty/greasy foods, alcohol, or sexual activity. If long-term steaming is not eliminated, it often transforms into Gan Syndrome. One must first prevent pathology in the lower part and must not treat lightly or recklessly.
