狂病者,由风邪入并于阳所为也。风邪入血,使人阴阳二气虚实不调,若一实一虚,则
令血气相并。气并于阳,则为狂发,或欲走,或自高贤,称神圣是也。又肝藏魂,悲哀动中
则伤魂,魂伤则狂忘不精明,不敢正当人,阴缩而挛筋,两胁骨不举。毛瘁色夭,死于秋。
皆由血气虚,受风邪,致令阴阳气相并所致,故名风狂。
风邪者,谓风气伤于人也。人以身内血气为正,外风气为邪。若其居处失宜,饮食不节
,致腑脏内损,血气外虚,则为风邪所伤。故病有五邪∶一曰中风,二曰伤暑,三曰饮食劳
倦,四曰中寒,五曰中湿。其为病不同。
风邪者,发则不自觉知,狂惑妄言,悲喜无度是也。其汤熨针石,别有正方,补养生宣导
,今附于后。
《养生方·导引法》云∶脾主土,土暖如人肉,始得发汗,去风冷邪气。若腹内有气胀
,先须暖足,摩脐上下并气海,不限遍数,多为佳。如得左回右转,三七。和气如用,要用
身内一百一十三法,回转三百六十骨节,动脉摇筋,气血布泽,二十四气和润,脏腑均调。
和气在用,头动转摇振,手气向上,心气则下,分明知去知来。莫问平手、倚腰,转身、摩
气,屈 回动,尽,心气放散,送至涌泉,一一不失气之行度,用之有益。不解用者,疑如
气乱。
狂病,是由于风邪侵入并合于阳分所导致的。风邪进入血脉,使人体的阴气和阳气虚实失调,如果一实一虚,就会导致血气相互搏结。气偏并于阳分,就会引发狂证发作,表现为想要奔跑,或自认为高贵贤能,自称神圣等情形。另外,肝主藏魂,悲哀情绪扰动内心则会损伤魂,魂受损则会出现狂妄、健忘、神志不清明,不敢正视他人,生殖器收缩且筋脉拘挛,两胁部骨骼活动受限。毛发枯槁、面色晦暗,会在秋季死亡。这些都是由于血气虚弱,感受风邪,导致阴阳之气相互搏结所致,所以称为风狂。
所谓风邪,是指风气伤害人体。人以体内的血气为正气,体外的风气为邪气。如果居住环境不当,饮食没有节制,导致脏腑内部受损,血气在外部虚弱,就会被风邪所伤。因此疾病有五种邪气:一是中风,二是伤暑,三是饮食劳倦,四是中寒,五是中湿。它们引发的病症各不相同。
风邪致病,发作时患者意识不清,狂妄迷惑,胡言乱语,悲伤或喜悦没有节制。治疗这类疾病的汤药、熨法、针刺和砭石,另有专门的方剂,补益养生及导引方法,现在附在后面。
《养生方·导引法》说:脾属土,土性温暖如同人的肌肉,这样才能发汗,去除风冷邪气。如果腹内有气胀,必须先暖足,按摩肚脐上下以及气海穴,不限次数,越多越好。如果能使气向左回环右转,进行三七二十一次。调和气息如法运用,需要运用身体内的一百一十三种方法,回转三百六十个骨节,摇动动脉和筋脉,使气血布散滋润,二十四气调和润泽,脏腑均匀协调。调和气息的运用在于头部转动摇晃振动,手部的意气向上,心部的意气则向下,清楚地知道气的离去与到来。不要问是平伸手掌还是倚靠腰部,转身还是摩气,屈伸回旋动作结束,心气放散,送至涌泉穴,一一不偏离气的运行规律,使用它会有益处。如果不理解如何使用,担心会导致气机紊乱。
Mania (Kuang Bing) is caused by wind-pathogen invading and merging with the Yang aspect. When wind-pathogen enters the blood vessels, it causes an imbalance in the deficiency and excess of Yin and Yang Qi in the body. If one is excess and the other deficiency, Blood and Qi will contend with each other. When Qi merges excessively into the Yang aspect, mania erupts, manifesting as a desire to run away, or believing oneself to be noble and virtuous, claiming to be divine and sacred. Furthermore, the Liver stores the Hun (Ethereal Soul). Sorrow and grief disturbing the interior damage the Hun; when the Hun is damaged, one becomes manic, forgetful, and lacks mental clarity, dares not look directly at others, experiences retraction of the genitals and contraction of tendons, and has immobility of the costal bones. The hair becomes brittle and the complexion dull, leading to death in autumn. All these are caused by deficiency of Blood and Qi, exposure to wind-pathogen, resulting in the contention of Yin and Yang Qi, hence named Wind-Mania (Feng Kuang).
Wind-pathogen refers to the pathogenic influence of Wind-Qi injuring the human body. In humans, the internal Blood and Qi constitute the Righteous Qi (Zheng Qi), while external Wind constitutes the Pathogen. If living conditions are inappropriate and diet is unregulated, causing internal damage to the Zang-Fu organs and exterior deficiency of Blood and Qi, one becomes injured by wind-pathogen. Thus, there are five types of pathogenic factors: first, Wind-Stroke (Zhong Feng); second, Summerheat Injury (Shang Shu); third, Diet and Overwork (Yin Shi Lao Juan); fourth, Cold Stroke (Zhong Han); fifth, Dampness Stroke (Zhong Shi). Their pathological manifestations differ.
When wind-pathogen attacks, the patient loses self-awareness, becoming manic, confused, speaking delusionally, and exhibiting boundless sorrow or joy. Decoctions, moxibustion/warming therapies (Tang Wu), acupuncture, and stone therapy have separate specific prescriptions for treatment. Nourishing health and Daoyin (guiding and pulling) methods are attached below.
The *Yangsheng Fang* (Prescriptions for Health Preservation) · *Daoyin Fa* (Guiding and Pulling Methods) states: The Spleen governs Earth; Earth is warm like human flesh, which facilitates sweating to expel wind-cold pathogenic factors. If there is abdominal Qi distension, one must first warm the feet, massage above and below the umbilicus and the Qihai (CV6) acupoint, without limiting the number of repetitions, more being better. If the Qi can be rotated left and right, perform this twenty-one times (3 × 7). Harmonizing the Qi according to proper usage requires employing one hundred and thirteen methods within the body, rotating through three hundred and sixty bone joints, shaking arteries and tendons, so that Blood and Qi spread and moisten, the twenty-four Qi harmonize and nourish, and the Zang-Fu organs are evenly regulated. The application of harmonizing Qi involves moving, turning, shaking, and vibrating the head; directing Hand-Qi upward, while Heart-Qi moves downward, clearly knowing the departure and arrival of Qi. It does not matter whether hands are held flat or hips are leaned on, or whether turning the body or massaging Qi; upon completion of flexion, extension, and rotation, release the Heart-Qi and send it down to the Yongquan (KI1) acupoint. Do not deviate from the pathway of Qi flow; using these methods yields benefits. Those who do not understand how to use them may fear causing Qi chaos.
