风瘙痒者,是体虚受风,风入腠理,与血气相搏,而俱往来,在于皮肤之间。邪气微,
不能冲击为痛,故但瘙痒也。
风蛊者,由体虚受风,风在皮肤之间。其状,淫淫跃跃,若蛊物刺,一身尽痛,侵伤血
气,动作如蛊毒之状,谓之风蛊。
癞病,是贼风入百脉,伤五脏,连注骨髓俱伤,而发于外,使眉睫堕落,皮肉生疮,筋
烂节断,语声嘶破。而毒风之变,冷热不同,故腠理发癞,形状亦异。
气病,是肺虚所为。肺主气,五脏六腑皆禀气于肺。忧思恐怒,居处饮食不节,伤动肺
气者,并成病。其气之病,有虚有实。其肺气实,谓之有余,则喘逆上气。其肺气虚,谓之
不足,则短乏少气。而有冷有热,热则四肢烦热也,冷则手足逆冷。
心痛,是脏虚受风,风冷邪气乘于心也。其痛发,有死者,有不死成疹者。心为诸脏主
而藏神,其正经不可伤,伤之而痛者,名为真心痛,朝发夕死,夕发朝死。心之支别络,为
风冷所乘而痛者,故痛发乍间乍甚,而成疹也。
心腹痛者,腑脏虚弱,风邪客于其间,与真气相击,故痛。其痛随气上下,或上冲于心
,或下攻于腹,故心腹痛。
风瘙痒,是由于身体虚弱感受风邪,风邪侵入腠理(皮肤纹理及汗孔),与血气相互搏结,在皮肤之间往来流动。因为邪气轻微,不能冲击导致疼痛,所以只表现为瘙痒。
风蛊,是由于身体虚弱感受风邪,风邪停留在皮肤之间。其症状表现为皮肤瘙痒起伏不定,像有虫蛊之物刺扎一样,全身都感到疼痛,侵袭损伤血气,发作时的状态如同中蛊毒一般,称为风蛊。
癞病,是贼风(不正之风)侵入百脉,损伤五脏,并连累骨髓一同受伤,进而发于体表,导致眉毛睫毛脱落,皮肉生疮,筋脉腐烂关节断裂,声音嘶哑破碎。由于毒风的变化,寒热性质不同,所以皮肤发生癞病,形状也各不相同。
气病,是由肺气虚所致。肺主司气,五脏六腑的气都禀受于肺。忧思惊恐愤怒,居住环境和饮食没有节制,这些都会伤动肺气,从而形成疾病。气的病变,有虚证和实证两种。肺气实,称为有余,会出现气喘、气逆上冲;肺气虚,称为不足,会出现呼吸短促、气息微弱。同时还有冷证和热证之分,热证则四肢烦热,冷证则手足逆冷。
心痛,是心脏虚弱感受风邪,风冷邪气乘虚侵犯心脏所致。这种疼痛发作时,有的会导致死亡,有的不会死亡但会留下后遗症。心为五脏之主,藏神,心的正经不可受伤,如果伤了正经而疼痛,名为真心痛,早上发病晚上死,晚上发病早上死。如果是心的分支络脉,被风冷邪气侵犯而疼痛,所以疼痛发作时有时缓解有时加重,并留下后遗症。
心腹痛,是因为脏腑虚弱,风邪客居在其中,与真气相互搏击,所以产生疼痛。这种疼痛随着气机上下移动,或者向上冲犯心脏,或者向下攻冲腹部,所以出现心腹疼痛。
Pruritus caused by wind (Feng Sao Yang) arises from a deficiency of the body's constitution leading to susceptibility to wind pathogen. The wind enters the couli (pores and interstices of the skin), contends with the blood and qi, and moves back and forth within the skin. Because the evil factor is slight, it cannot strike forcefully to cause pain; therefore, only itching occurs.
Wind Gu (Feng Gu) also results from a deficient constitution susceptible to wind, with the wind lodging between the skin and muscles. Its manifestation involves a creeping, restless sensation, as if insects or parasites are piercing the body, causing generalized pain throughout the entire body. It invades and damages the blood and qi, and its paroxysmal nature resembles that of gu poison, hence termed Wind Gu.
Leprosy-like disease (Lei Bing) occurs when treacherous wind penetrates the hundred vessels, damaging the five zang organs and extending to the bone marrow. This internal damage manifests externally, causing the loss of eyebrows and eyelashes, sores on the skin and flesh, rotting of tendons, dislocation of joints, and hoarseness or breaking of the voice. Due to variations in the transformation of toxic wind into cold or heat patterns, the resulting skin lesions vary in shape and appearance.
Qi disorders are caused by lung deficiency. The Lung governs qi, and the qi of the five zang and six fu organs all derive from the Lung. Emotional disturbances such as worry, thought, fear, and anger, along with irregular living habits and diet, can injure Lung qi and lead to disease. Qi disorders present as either deficiency or excess. Lung qi excess is termed "repletion," characterized by panting and rebellious qi ascending. Lung qi deficiency is termed "deficiency," characterized by shortness of breath and scanty qi. These may further manifest as cold or heat syndromes: heat presents with vexatious heat in the four limbs, while cold presents with cold extremities.
Heart pain results from heart deficiency allowing wind pathogens to invade, where wind-cold evil factors attack the Heart. Upon onset, some cases prove fatal, while others survive but develop sequelae. The Heart is the master of the five zang organs and houses the Shen (spirit). The primary meridians of the Heart should not be injured; injury to the primary meridians causing pain is called True Heart Pain (Zhen Xin Tong), which is rapidly fatal (death upon onset in the morning leads to death in the evening, and vice versa). If the collateral branches of the Heart are attacked by wind-cold, the pain will fluctuate in intensity, alternating between relief and exacerbation, often leaving behind chronic conditions.
Heart and abdominal pain arise from weakness of the zang and fu organs, allowing wind pathogens to lodge within and contend with the true qi, resulting in pain. This pain migrates with the movement of qi, either rushing upward to affect the Heart or attacking downward into the abdomen, thus presenting as combined heart and abdominal pain.
Abdominal pain is caused by weakness of the zang and fu organs, permitting wind-cold evil factors to invade. When these evil factors contend with the righteous qi, abdominal pain ensues.
Lower abdominal pain originates from pre-existing wind-cold stagnation within the Bao Luo (uterine collaterals/vessels). This pathogen contends with the blood and qi, accumulating in the lower abdomen. Triggered by wind-induced deficiency, it strikes against the blood,
