风湿病，是风邪与湿邪共同侵袭人体所致。风，指来自八个方向的虚邪贼风；湿，指水湿产生的蒸腾之气。如果地面潮湿，又缺少霜雪覆盖，山水间的湿气蒸腾，再加上气候温暖，导致人的腠理（皮肤纹理及汗孔）张开，就会受到风湿之邪的侵袭。其症状表现为使人懈怠懒惰，精神昏沉糊涂。如果病程迁延日久，也会导致四肢松弛无力、不能随意运动；若邪气深入脏腑，则会导致失音、口舌无法收摄；或者出现脚部麻木软弱，演变为香港脚（脚气病）。关于治疗此病的汤药外敷、艾灸、针刺和砭石疗法，另有专门的方剂，补益调养和导引宣通的方法，现附在后面。
《养生方·真诰》说：梳头时梳理头发，次数要多一些，以疏通血脉，散发风湿，经常更换梳子，轮流使用。
痹病，是风、寒、湿三种邪气混杂侵入人体，结合而成痹证。其症状表现为肌肉麻木厚重，或者疼痛。这是因为人体正气虚弱，腠理开张，所以受到风邪侵袭。病在阳分称为风，在阴分称为痹；阴阳两分都患病，称为风痹。如果在春季遇到痹邪，称为筋痹，则筋脉拘挛屈曲。筋痹久治不愈，再次感受邪气，则邪气传入肝脏。其症状表现为夜间睡眠易惊悸，饮水多，小便频数。在夏季遇到痹邪，称为脉痹，则血液凝滞不通，使人面色萎黄。脉痹久治不愈，再次感受邪气，则邪气传入心脏。其症状表现为心下跳动如击鼓，气突然上逆，气喘呼吸不畅，咽喉干燥，喜欢打嗝。在长夏（夏秋之交）遇到痹邪，称为肌痹，病在肌肉则感觉麻木不仁。肌痹久治不愈，再次感受邪气，则邪气传入脾脏。其症状表现为四肢懈怠懒惰，发作咳嗽并呕吐涎汁。在秋季遇到痹邪，称为皮痹，则皮肤失去知觉。皮痹久治不愈，再次感受邪气，则邪气传入肺脏，其症状表现为气急奔迫且疼痛。在冬季遇到痹邪，称为骨痹，则骨头沉重无法抬起，行动不便且疼痛。骨痹久治不愈，再次感受邪气，则邪气传入肾脏，其症状表现为容易腹胀。
诊察其脉象大而涩的，为痹病；脉象来势急促的，也为痹病。关于治疗此病的汤药外敷、艾灸、针刺和砭石疗法，另有专门的方剂，补益调养和导引宣通的方法，现附在后面。
《养生方》说：出汗后进入水中洗澡，就会形成骨痹。
又说：憋尿不排，膝盖发冷，会形成痹病。
又说：大汗淋漓时不要偏袒脱衣，否则容易遭受偏侧之风，导致半身不遂。
《养生经要集》说：大汗后立即扑粉，穿着被汗水浸湿的衣服，会导致人患上疮疡，大小便不利。
《养生方·导引法》说：第一，用右脚跟勾住左脚大脚趾，以祛除风痹；第二，用左脚跟勾住右脚大脚趾，以祛除厥痹；第三，双手交替牵引足背，放置在膝盖上，以祛除体痹。
又说：仰卧，合拢两膝头，翻转双脚，伸展腰部，用口吸气，使腹部胀满至极限，共做七次呼吸。可祛除痹痛、热痛以及两小腿不能随意运动的症状。
又说：蹲坐，伸展腰部，用双手牵引两个脚跟，用鼻子吸气，使身体达到极限状态，共做七次呼吸，然后双手向两侧展开置于膝盖旁。可祛除痹症引起的呕吐。

又说：左右手支撑在地面上，仰身牵引腰部五息后停止，可去除痿痹，通畅九窍。
又说：翘起两脚大拇指，保持五息后停止。可牵引腰背痹痛、偏枯；使人听力灵敏。长期坚持练习，眼耳等感官根部将没有任何阻碍。
又说：蹲坐，伸直右脚，双手抱住左膝头，伸展腰部，用鼻子吸气，使身体达到极限状态，共做七次呼吸，然后将右脚向外展开。可祛除难以屈伸、拜起困难以及小腿中间疼痛的痹症。
又说：左右手臂拱抱，屏息运行气息九遍。可治疗手臂和足部的疼痛、疲劳倦怠以及风痹导致的肢体不能随意运动。
又说：普通人常觉得脊背僵硬闷胀，不论什么季节，收缩咽喉和膊部向内，仰面用力使膊井穴向上，头部向左右两边扭转，各做二十一次，中间停顿一下，等待气血运行平稳安定后，再继续下一次。开始时要缓慢，后来可以加快，绝不能先快后慢。如果没有病患，也建议在早晨、中午、日落这三个时辰像治病时那样练习，每个时辰做十四次。可祛除寒热病、脊腰颈项疼痛、风痹、口中生疮、牙齿受风以及头晕目眩等症状。
Rheumatism (Fengshi) is caused by the simultaneous invasion of Wind pathogen (Feng) and Dampness pathogen (Shi). Wind refers to the empty winds from the eight directions; Dampness refers to the vapor generated by water moisture. If the ground is damp and there is a lack of frost or snow, the misty air from mountains and rivers steams upward. Combined with warm weather, this causes the Cou Li (skin texture and pores) to open, allowing the person to be affected by Wind-Dampness. The condition manifests as lethargy and mental confusion. If it persists for a long time, it can also cause the limbs to become flaccid and unresponsive. If the pathogen enters the Zang organs, it leads to aphonia and inability to control the mouth and tongue; or it may cause numbness and weakness in the feet, evolving into Hongxiangjiao (Gouty Arthritis / Foot Qi). Regarding treatments such as decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy, there are separate specific formulas. Methods for nourishment, supplementation, and Daoyin (guiding and pulling exercises) are attached below.
The *Yangsheng Fang · Zhen Gao* states: When combing hair, one should comb many times to promote blood circulation and disperse Wind-Dampness. Frequently change combs and use them alternately.
Bi syndrome (Bi Zheng) is formed when Wind, Cold, and Dampness pathogens mix and invade the body together. Its manifestations include muscle numbness and heaviness, or pain. This occurs because the human body is deficient, causing the Cou Li to open, thus allowing Wind pathogen to invade. Disease in the Yang aspect is called Feng (Wind); disease in the Yin aspect is called Bi (Obstruction); disease affecting both Yin and Yang is called Fengbi (Wind-Bi). If Bi is contracted in Spring, it is called Jinbi (Sinew Bi), resulting in sinew contraction and flexion. If Jinbi is not cured and the person encounters evil again, the pathogen shifts to enter the Liver. Its symptoms include startle during sleep at night, excessive drinking, and frequent urination. If Bi is contracted in Summer, it is called Maibi (Vessel Bi), causing blood coagulation and stagnation, leading to sallow complexion. If Maibi is not cured and the person encounters evil again, the pathogen shifts to enter the Heart. Its symptoms include palpitations like drumming under the heart, sudden upward reversal of Qi, panting and difficulty breathing, dry throat, and frequent belching. If Bi is contracted in Late Summer, it is called Jibi (Muscle Bi), where the flesh becomes insensible. If Jibi is not cured and the person encounters evil again, the pathogen shifts to enter the Spleen. Its symptoms include limb lethargy, coughing, and vomiting of saliva. If Bi is contracted in Autumn, it is called Pibi (Skin Bi), where the skin loses sensation. If Pibi is not cured and the person encounters evil again, the pathogen shifts to enter the Lung. Its symptoms include rushing Qi and pain. If Bi is contracted in Winter, it is called Gubi (Bone Bi), where the bones feel heavy and cannot be lifted, accompanied by immobility and pain. If Gubi is not cured and the person encounters evil again, the pathogen shifts to enter the Kidney. Its symptoms include a tendency toward abdominal distension.
Diagnosing the pulse: A large and choppy pulse indicates Bi syndrome; a rapid pulse also indicates Bi syndrome. Regarding treatments such as decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy, there are separate specific formulas. Methods for nourishment, supplementation, and Daoyin are attached below.
The *Yangsheng Fang* states: Entering water while sweating leads to Bone Bi.
It also states: Holding urine without urinating, combined with cold knees, results in Bi syndrome.
It also states: Do not expose one side of the body by partially removing clothes when sweating profusely; otherwise, one may suffer from unilateral wind, leading to hemiplegia.
The *Yangsheng Jing Yao Ji* states: Applying powder immediately after profuse sweating and wearing sweat-soaked clothes can cause sores and difficulty in urination and defecation.
The *Yangsheng Fang · Daoyin Fa* states: First, hook the big toe of the left foot with the right heel to dispel Wind-Bi; second, hook the big toe of the right foot with the left heel to dispel Jue-Bi; third, alternate pulling the dorsum of the feet with both hands and place them on the knees to dispel Body-Bi.
It also states: Lie supine, bring the two knee caps together, turn the feet outward, extend the waist, inhale through the mouth until the abdomen is fully distended, repeating for seven breaths. This dispels Bi pain, heat pain, and immobility of the lower legs.
It also states: Sit squatting, extend the waist, pull the two heels with both hands, inhale through the nose until reaching the limit, repeating for seven breaths, then spread the hands to the sides of the knees. This dispels Bi-induced vomiting.
It also states: Lie supine, straighten and extend the arms and legs, inhale through the nose until reaching the limit, repeating for seven breaths, then shake the feet thirty times before stopping. This dispels cold in the chest and feet, generalized Bi, and Jue-Ni (reversal cold).
It also states: Stand upright leaning against a wall, hold the breath and circulate Qi from head to foot. This cures severe Wind, Pianku (hemiplegia), and various Bis.
It also states: Support the ground with both hands, arch the back to stretch the waist for five breaths before stopping. This removes Wei-Bi (flaccidity Bi) and benefits the nine orifices.
It also states: Point the toes of both feet upward, holding for five breaths before stopping. This stretches Bi of the waist and back, Pianku; it enhances hearing. Long-term practice ensures no obstruction in the roots of the eyes and ears.
It also states: Sit squatting, extend the right leg, hug the left knee with both hands, extend the waist, inhale through the nose until reaching the limit, repeating for seven breaths, then extend the right foot outward. This dispels difficulty in bending and extending, rising from bowing, and pain in the shins due to Bi.
It also states: Arch the arms left and right, hold the breath and circulate Qi nine times. This treats pain in the arms and legs, fatigue, and immobility due to Wind-Bi.
It also states: When one commonly feels stiffness and stuffiness in the back, regardless of the season, retract the throat and shoulders inward, look up and strain the Jingwell point of the shoulder, and twist the head left and right. Perform twenty-one repetitions on each side, pausing once, waiting for the blood flow and Qi movement to settle before continuing. Start slowly and increase speed later; do not start fast and slow down. Even if healthy, it is beneficial to practice at these three times: morning, noon, and sunset, doing fourteen repetitions per session. This dispels chills and fever, pain in the spine, waist, neck, and nape, Wind-Bi, oral ulcers, wind affecting the teeth, and dizziness.
