春月伤风，头痛鼻塞，身亦发热，是伤风而欲入于太阳，非太阳之伤寒也。夫
春伤于风，由皮毛而入肺也。风入于肺而不散，则鼻为之不利。肺金之气不扬，自
失其清肃之令，必移其邪而入于太阳膀胱。惟恐邪入，乃坚闭其口，而水道失行，
于是水不下通而火乃炎上，头自痛矣，与传经太阳之伤寒绝不相同。散肺金之风，
杜其趋入膀胱之路，而身热自退也。方用舒肺汤∶
桔梗（三钱） 甘草（一钱） 苏叶（五分） 天花粉（一钱） 茯苓（三钱） 桂枝（三分） 水煎服。
一剂而身热解，二剂而头痛鼻塞尽愈。
此方专入肺金以散其风邪。有风则必生痰，有痰则必有火。天花粉消痰而又善
解火，一味而两用之也；桂枝、茯苓开膀胱之口，引邪直走膀胱而下泄，因肺欲移
邪而移之，其势甚便，随其机而顺用之也。
此症用加味甘桔汤亦佳。
桔梗 川芎 天花粉 麦冬（各三钱） 甘草 黄芩（各一钱） 水煎服。二剂愈。
春月伤风，身热咳嗽，吐痰恶热，口渴，是伤风而阳明之火来刑肺金，非伤寒
传经入于阳明也。夫阳明胃土本生肺金，何以生肺者转来刑肺乎？盖肺乃娇脏，风
入肺经必变为寒，胃为肺金之母，见肺子之寒，必以热济之。夫胃本无热也，心火
为胃之母，知胃欲生金，乃出其火以相助。然而助胃土之有余，必至克肺金之不足，
是借其兵以讨贼，反致客兵残民，故胃热而肺亦热，而咳嗽口渴之症生矣。治法泻
心火以安胃土，自然肺气得养，而风邪自散。方用平邪汤∶
黄连（三分） 甘草（一钱） 苏梗（一钱） 紫菀（一钱） 葛根（一钱） 石膏（三钱）
麦冬（五钱） 贝母（三钱） 茯神（三钱） 水煎服。一剂轻，二剂又轻，三剂身凉矣，
不必四剂也。
此方泻心火者十之三，泻胃火者十之六。盖心火之旺克肺者轻，胃火之旺刑金
者重。轻泻药心中之火，则心不助胃以刑金；重泻胃中之火，则胃不刑金以伤肺，肺
气既回，肺邪又安留哉。
此症用清胃散亦效。
石膏 半夏（各二钱） 茯苓（三钱） 桂枝（三分） 麦冬（三钱） 陈皮 葛根（各一钱）
水煎服。一剂愈。
春月伤风，发寒发热，口苦，两胁胀满，或吞酸吐酸，是少阳之春温也。何以
冬月谓之伤寒，而春月即谓之春温耶？不知冬月之风寒，春月之风温。寒则伤深，
温则伤浅。伤深者邪至少阳而有入里之惧，伤浅者邪入少阳而即有出表之喜，故同
伤少阳，而伤风与伤寒实有异也。至于治伤风之少阳，法又不必大异，皆舒其半表
半里之邪，而风邪自散。虽然伤寒邪入少阳，有入里之症，往往用大柴胡与承气之
类和而下之；若伤风入少阳，以小柴胡汤和解而有余，不必用大柴胡、承气而重用
之也。方用加减小柴胡汤∶
柴胡（一钱五分） 茯苓（三钱） 黄芩（一钱） 甘草（一钱） 陈皮（五分） 天花粉（一钱）
水煎服。一剂寒热解，再剂诸症愈。
此方较原方更神。以用茯苓之多，使邪从膀胱而出，更胜于和解也，佐柴胡以
散邪，乃建奇功耳。
此症用安胆汤亦效。
柴胡 天花粉 炒栀子（各二钱） 甘草（一钱） 白芍 丹皮（各三钱） 水煎服。二剂愈。
春月伤风，身热呕吐不止，人以为太阴之伤寒也，谁知是太阴之春温乎。夫太
阴脾土也，风伤太阴，则土中有风，风在地中，则土必震动而水溢，故令人呕吐不
止，非阴寒之气，入于脾土之内，而动人呕吐者可比。此与伤寒传经之入太阴者，
治法迥不相同也。伤寒当温经以回阳，而伤风宜散其风以安土。方用奠土汤∶
白术（五钱） 茯苓（三钱） 人参 柴胡 半夏 甘草 葛根（各一钱） 神曲（五分） 水煎服。
一剂而风散，二剂而身凉。三剂而病全愈矣。
方中祛邪于补脾之内，脾健而风自息也。
此症亦可用护脾饮∶
白术（三钱） 人参（二钱） 肉桂（三分） 陈皮（三分） 半夏（一钱） 苏叶（五分） 水煎服。
一剂愈。
春月伤风出汗，胃干燥，渴欲饮水，是春温之症，火邪入膀胱，非太阳之伤寒
也。夫膀胱者，肺金之表也，肺受风邪，久则变热，肺乃求救于膀胱，邪即乘其求
救而下行。而膀胱之水，思欲救母乃不肯下泄，而上与风火相斗。邪见膀胱正气之
盛，乃不入膀胱而入胃，于是胃热而与邪相争，故尔出汗。汗出而胃之津液自干，
故口渴思水以救其内焚也。治法不必散风邪而泻火焰，速利其膀胱，使水从小便而
出，则胃中之津液自生。方用五苓散∶
白术（一钱） 茯苓（三钱） 泽泻（三钱） 猪苓（三钱） 肉桂（一分） 水煎服。一剂而小便利，
二剂而口渴、汗出尽止矣。
盖五苓散专利其膀胱之水。膀胱为太阳之经，伤风已经出汗，宜太阳之邪尽出
矣，乃口渴思水，明是邪热不肯从皮毛外出，而欲趋膀胱下出矣。五苓散利其膀胱，
则水流而火亦流，火随水去，胃火已消，而胃自生液，自然上润于肺，肺得胃液之
养，则皮毛自闭，邪何从而再入哉。
此症知柏茯苓汤亦可用。
知母 黄柏（各一钱） 茯苓（五钱） 水煎服。一剂而渴解，二剂愈。
伤风头痛发热，盗汗微出，见风则畏，此春温伤风，而非太阳症也。夫头痛本
属太阳，然而风能入脑，亦作头痛，未可谓身热头痛，便是太阳之症。风从皮毛而
入，皮毛主肺，肺通于鼻，而鼻通于脑，风入于肺，自能引风入脑而作头痛。倘肺
气甚旺，则腠理自密，皮毛不疏，风又何从而入，惟其肺气之虚，故风邪易于相袭。
邪正争斗，身故发热，肺气既虚，安能敌邪，所以盗汗微微暗出也。此症明是伤风，
勿作伤寒轻治。盖邪之所凑，其气必虚，补其肺气之虚，表其风邪之盛，自然奏效
甚速。方用益金散风汤∶
人参（五分） 甘草（一钱） 五味子（三粒） 麦冬（三钱） 紫苏（一钱） 蔓荆子（一钱）
天花粉（一钱） 桔梗（三钱） 水煎服。一剂头痛除，再剂身热解，三剂盗汗亦止。
此方散重于补，何以名为益金汤？不知肺经为邪所伤，其气甚衰，若用大补重
药必且难受，不若于散表之中略为补益，则邪既外出而正又内养，两得其益，是过
于散正善于益也。
此症用通脑散亦神。
川芎 当归 茯苓（各三钱） 桔梗（二钱） 蔓荆子 白芷（各五分） 人参 半夏（各一钱）
水煎服。二剂愈。
伤风头痛发热，身疼腰重，骨节俱酸疼，恶风无汗，人以为伤寒，而不知非也。
夫伤寒则不恶风矣。此内伤脾肾，而风乘虚以入肺，则经络之间不相流通，故身热
耳。第内伤脾肾与肺无涉，何以肺经即召外邪耶？不知脾为肺之母，而肾为肺之子，
母虚而子亦虚，子虚而母亦虚。脾肾之气既虚，而肺安得有不虚之理，于是腠理不
密，毛窍难以自固，故风邪易入于肺经，而肺气益虚，何能下润于肾宫，而旁灌于
百骸耶。自必至满身骨节酸痛而腰重矣。但肺虚而邪既易入，则汗亦易出，何以邪
入而汗不出耶？此乃邪欺肺气之虚，又窥脾肾之不足，反使邪气得蔽于毛孔，故见
风反畏。外邪且不能再入，何况内汗能出乎。然则治法惟散肺中之邪，仍补脾肾之
气。脾土旺而肺气有生发之机，肾水足而肺金无干燥之苦。自然上可达于脑而头痛
除，下可通于膀胱而腰重去，中可和于中焦而一身支节之酸疼尽愈也。方用黄紫丹∶
白术（五钱） 茯苓（三钱） 当归（五钱） 羌活（一钱） 紫苏（一钱） 甘草（一钱）
细辛（五分） 黄芩（一钱） 麦冬（五钱） 人参（一钱） 贝母（一钱） 水煎服。
此方补多于散，何补之中又纯补脾而不补肾耶？人生后天以脾胃之气为主，脾
健则胃气自开，胃开则肾水自润。况人参、白术原能入肾，而白术尤利腰脐，一身
之气无不利矣。何况肺经为脾胃之子，母健而子亦健，力足以拒邪；又有紫苏、黄
芩、羌活、贝母祛风、散火、消痰、泄水之药，足以供其战攻之具，自然汗出热解，
而邪从外越也。
此症用益气散风汤亦效甚。
人参 黄 （各三钱） 甘草 半夏（各一钱） 白术（五钱） 柴胡（二钱） 茯苓（三钱）
枳壳（五分） 水煎服。
春月伤风，身热十余日，热结在里，往来寒热，人以为伤寒在太阳，有入里之
变也，谁知春月伤风与冬月伤寒不同。冬月之寒入于太阳，久则变寒；春月之风入
于太阳，久则变热。寒则迁动不常，必至传经入脏；热则静守不移，惟有固结在腑。
然而入脏、在腑虽有不同，而作寒、作热则无不同也。寒在脏，则阴与阳战而发热；
热在腑，则阳与阴战而发寒。随脏腑衰旺分寒热往来，此症之所最难辨，亦辨之于
时令而已。在冬月而热结在里者，宜用攻；在春月而热结在里者，宜用散。散其热
而寒自除，寒除而热亦自止也。方用散结至神汤∶
浓朴（一钱） 白芍（五钱） 甘草（一钱） 当归（三钱） 枳壳（五分） 柴胡（一钱）
炒栀子（三钱） 桂枝（三分） 水煎服。一剂而寒热除，内结亦散。
方中多是平肝之药，绝不去舒肺经之邪。盖肺气为邪所袭，则肝木必欺肺金之
病而自旺矣，旺则木中生火，以助邪之热而刑肺。倘不泻肝而徒去散肺经之邪，则
肺气愈虚，而热何能遽解耶。惟泻其肝中之火，则内热既衰，益之桂枝数分，但去
散太阳之风，不去助厥阴之火，此热结所以顿解也。
此症用清邪散亦效。
桂枝（五分） 茯苓（五钱） 甘草（一钱） 陈皮（五分） 半夏 柴胡（各一钱） 砂仁（一粒）
水煎服。
伤风八、九日，风湿相搏，身体烦疼，不能转侧，不呕不渴，人以为伤寒之症，
风湿在太阳之经也，谁知伤风之病，亦能使风湿之相搏乎。夫湿从下受，而风从上
受者也。下受者膀胱先受之，上受者肺经先受之。膀胱受湿，无风不能起浪；肺经
受风，无湿亦不能生岚。伤风而致风湿相搏，因下原感湿，而上又犯风，两相牵合，
遂搏聚于一身，而四体无不烦疼也。夫烦疼之症，风之病也。湿主重着，烦痛而至
身不能转侧，非重着乎？以此分别风湿之同病，实为确据。且风症必渴，湿症必呕，
今风湿两病，风作渴而水济之，湿欲呕而风止之，故不呕而又不渴也。治法宜双解
其风湿之邪而已。方用双解风湿汤∶
茯苓（一两） 薏仁（一两） 柴胡（二钱） 防风 甘草（各一钱） 水煎服。
柴胡、防风以祛风，茯苓、薏仁以利湿，用甘草以和解之，自然风湿双解，而
诸症尽痊也。
此症用风湿两舒汤亦佳。
茯苓 白术（各五钱） 柴胡 防风 半夏 甘草（各一钱） 桂枝（三分） 水煎服。
春月伤风八、九日，如疟之状，发热恶寒，热多寒少，口不呕吐，人以为伤寒
中如疟之证，谁知春月伤风，亦同有此症乎。夫风邪入于表里之间，多作寒热之状，
不独伤寒为然。伤风之病，轻于伤寒，至八、九日宜邪之尽散矣，何尚有如疟之病？
盖无痰不成疟，无食亦不成疟，无痰无食，即有风邪不能为害。然则伤风而有如疟
之病者，亦其胸膈胃脘之中，原有痰食存而不化，八、九日之后，正风欲去而痰与
食留之耳。热多寒少，非内伤重而外感轻之明验乎。惟口不呕吐，乃内既多热，自
能燥湿，痰得火制，自不外吐。然热之极，则外反现寒，恶寒之象乃假寒也。假寒
真热，适显其如疟之症，乃似疟而非疟也。治法亦治其如疟，而不必治其真疟耳。
方用破假汤∶
人参（三钱） 白术（五钱） 陈皮（一钱） 神曲（五分） 柴胡（二钱） 山楂（十粒）
甘草（五分） 白芍（五钱） 鳖甲（三钱） 石膏（一钱） 半夏（一钱） 水煎服。一剂恶寒除，
二剂发热解，四剂如疟之症全愈。
此方于补正之中寓祛邪之味，正既无亏，邪又退舍，此王霸兼施之道也。
此症用散疟汤亦效。
柴胡（二钱） 何首乌 白术（各五钱） 青皮（二钱） 水煎服。
春月伤风，汗多，微发热恶风，人以为传经之邪，入阳明胃中也，谁知伤风春
温之症，亦有邪入胃者乎。邪到阳明必然多汗而渴，今汗虽多而不渴，是火邪犹未
盛，所以微发热而不大热耳。夫同一外邪也，何伤寒之邪入胃而火大炽，伤风之邪
入胃而火微旺？盖伤寒之邪寒邪也，伤风之邪风邪也；寒邪入胃，胃恶寒而变热，
风邪入胃，胃喜风而变温。盖其热乃胃之自热，不过风以煽之也。风煽其火，则火
必外泄，反不留于胃中，所以皮肤热极而多汗，而口转不渴，异于伤寒传经入胃之
邪，而无燎原之祸也。然而终何以辨其非伤寒哉？伤寒恶寒而不恶风，伤风恶风而
不恶寒，正不必以冬月之恶风，为是伤寒之的症也。盖恶风即是伤风之病耳。治法
散其风而火自解也。方用熏解汤∶
石膏（三钱） 干葛（二钱） 甘草（一钱） 荆芥（一钱） 茯苓（五钱） 麦冬（五钱）
春季感受风邪，出现头痛、鼻塞，身体也发热，这是伤风之邪即将传入太阳经，并非太阳经受寒邪所致的伤寒。春天受风邪，是从皮毛侵入肺脏。风邪进入肺中而不能发散，就会导致鼻窍不通利。肺金之气不能宣发，自然失去了清肃下降的职能，必然会将邪气转移传入太阳膀胱经。唯恐邪气传入，于是强行闭塞毛孔，导致水道运行失常，水液不能下行而火气炎上，头部自然疼痛，这与传经至太阳的伤寒完全不同。疏散肺金中的风邪，阻断其趋向膀胱的路径，身体发热自然会消退。方用舒肺汤：桔梗（三钱）、甘草（一钱）、苏叶（五分）、天花粉（一钱）、茯苓（三钱）、桂枝（三分），水煎服。服用一剂后身体热退，两剂后头痛和鼻塞完全痊愈。
此方专门入肺经以疏散风邪。有风则必生痰，有痰则必有火。天花粉能消痰且善于解火，一味药起到两种作用；桂枝、茯苓开通膀胱的门户，引导邪气直接走向膀胱并向下排泄，顺应肺欲移邪的趋势，顺势而为，非常便利。
此症使用加味甘桔汤也很好。
桔梗、川芎、天花粉、麦冬（各三钱）、甘草、黄芩（各一钱），水煎服。两剂痊愈。
春季感受风邪，身体发热咳嗽，吐痰恶热，口渴，这是伤风导致阳明胃火来克制肺金，并非伤寒传经入于阳明经。阳明胃土本来生养肺金，为什么生养肺的反而来克制肺呢？因为肺是娇嫩的脏器，风邪进入肺经必然变为寒邪，胃为肺金之母，见到肺子受寒，必定用热来济助它。胃本身没有热，心火是胃之母，知道胃想生养肺金，便派出自己的火来相助。然而助长胃土的有余，必然会克制肺金的不足，这如同借兵讨贼，反而致使客兵残害百姓，所以胃热而肺也热，咳嗽、口渴等症状就产生了。治法应当泻心火以安定胃土，自然肺气得到滋养，风邪自然消散。方用平邪汤：黄连（三分）、甘草（一钱）、苏梗（一钱）、紫菀（一钱）、葛根（一钱）、石膏（三钱）、麦冬（五钱）、贝母（三钱）、茯神（三钱），水煎服。一剂症状减轻，两剂更轻，三剂身体凉爽，不必再服第四剂。
此方泻心火的占十分之三，泻胃火的占十分之六。因为心火旺盛克制肺的情况较轻，胃火旺盛刑克肺金的情况较重。轻泻心火，则心不助胃来刑克肺金；重泻胃火，则胃不刑克肺金以伤害肺，肺气既已恢复，肺中邪气又怎能安留呢？
此症使用清胃散也有效。
石膏、半夏（各二钱）、茯苓（三钱）、桂枝（三分）、麦冬（三钱）、陈皮、葛根（各一钱），水煎服。一剂痊愈。
春季感受风邪，怕冷发热，口苦，两胁胀满，或者吞酸吐酸，这是少阳经的春温病。为什么冬天叫伤寒，而春天就叫春温呢？不知道冬天的是风寒，春天的是风温。寒邪伤人深，温邪伤人浅。伤得深的邪气至少阳而有入里的担忧，伤得浅的邪气入少阳而就有出表的喜悦，所以同样伤及少阳，但伤风与伤寒确实不同。至于治疗伤风的少阳病，方法也不必大异，都是舒展半表半里的邪气，风邪自然消散。虽然伤寒邪入少阳，有入里的症状，往往用大柴胡汤与承气汤之类攻下；若伤风入少阳，用小柴胡汤和解就已经足够，不必用大柴胡、承气汤并重用它们。方用加减小柴胡汤：柴胡（一钱五分）、茯苓（三钱）、黄芩（一钱）、甘草（一钱）、陈皮（五分）、天花粉（一钱），水煎服。一剂寒热解除，再服诸症痊愈。
此方比原方更神奇。因为用了大量的茯苓，使邪气从膀胱排出，比单纯和解更好，佐以柴胡疏散邪气，才能建立奇功。
此症使用安胆汤也有效。
柴胡、天花粉、炒栀子（各二钱）、甘草（一钱）、白芍、丹皮（各三钱），水煎服。两剂痊愈。
春季感受风邪，身体发热呕吐不止，人们以为是太阴伤寒，谁知这是太阴春温。太阴属脾土，风伤太阴，则土中有风，风在地中，则土必震动而水溢出，所以令人呕吐不止，这不是阴寒之气进入脾土内动人呕吐的情况可比的。这与伤寒传经入太阴的治疗法截然不同。伤寒应当温经回阳，而伤风宜散风安土。方用奠土汤：白术（五钱）、茯苓（三钱）、人参、柴胡、半夏、甘草、葛根（各一钱）、神曲（五分），水煎服。一剂风散，二剂身凉，三剂病全愈。
此症也可用护脾饮：
白术（三钱）、人参（二钱）、肉桂（三分）、陈皮（三分）、半夏（一钱）、苏叶（五分），水煎服。一剂痊愈。
春季感受风邪出汗，胃干燥，渴欲饮水，这是春温病症，火邪入膀胱，并非太阳伤寒。膀胱是肺金的表里对应脏腑，肺受风邪，久则变热，肺向膀胱求救，邪气便乘其求救而下行的机会。膀胱之水，想要救母却不愿下泄，反而向上与风火相斗。邪气见膀胱正气旺盛，便不入膀胱而入胃，于是胃热与邪气相争，所以出汗。汗出而胃之津液干枯，所以口渴思水以救内部焚烧。治法不必散风邪而泻火焰，速利膀胱，使水从小便而出，则胃中之津液自然生成。方用五苓散：白术（一钱）、茯苓（三钱）、泽泻（三钱）、猪苓（三钱）、肉桂（一分），水煎服。一剂小便通利，二剂口渴、汗出全部停止。
五苓散专门通利膀胱之水。膀胱为太阳经，伤风已经出汗，按理太阳之邪应尽出，却口渴思水，明显是邪热不肯从皮毛外出，而欲趋膀胱下出。五苓散利其膀胱，则水流而火亦流，火随水去，胃火已消，胃自然生液，自然上润于肺，肺得胃液滋养，则皮毛自闭，邪气从何再入呢？
此症知柏茯苓汤也可用。
知母、黄柏（各一钱）、茯苓（五钱），水煎服。一剂渴解，二剂痊愈。
伤风头痛发热，盗汗微出，见风则畏，这是春温伤风，而非太阳症。头痛本属太阳，然而风能入脑，也会作头痛，不可谓身热头痛便是太阳症。风从皮毛而入，皮毛主肺，肺通于鼻，鼻通于脑，风入于肺，自然引风入脑而作头痛。如果肺气很旺，则腠理自密，皮毛不疏，风从何而入？正因为肺气虚，所以风邪易于侵袭。邪正争斗，身体发热，肺气既虚，怎能敌邪，所以盗汗微微暗出。此症明是伤风，不要当作伤寒轻率治疗。盖邪之所凑，其气必虚，补其肺气之虚，解表散风邪之盛，自然奏效甚速。方用益金散风汤：人参（五分）、甘草（一钱）、五味子（三粒）、麦冬（三钱）、紫苏（一钱）、蔓荆子（一钱）、天花粉（一钱）、桔梗（三钱），水煎服。一剂头痛除，再剂身热解，三剂盗汗亦止。
此方散重于补，为何名为益金汤？不知肺经为邪所伤，其气甚衰，若用大补重药必且难受，不如于散表之中略为补益，则邪既外出而正又内养，两得其益，是过于散正善于益也。
此症用通脑散也神效。
川芎、当归、茯苓（各三钱）、桔梗（二钱）、蔓荆子、白芷（各五分）、人参、半夏（各一钱），水煎服。两剂痊愈。
伤风头痛发热，身疼腰重，骨节俱酸疼，恶风无汗，人们以为是伤寒，而不知并非如此。伤寒则不恶风了。此乃内伤脾肾，风乘虚入肺，则经络之间不相流通，故身热。只是内伤脾肾与肺无涉，何以肺经即召外邪耶？不知脾为肺之母，肾为肺之子，母虚而子亦虚，子虚而母亦虚。脾肾之气既虚，肺安得不虚？于是腠理不密，毛窍难以自固，故风邪易入于肺经，而肺气益虚，何能下润于肾宫，而旁灌于百骸耶？自必至满身骨节酸痛而腰重矣。但肺虚而邪既易入，则汗亦易出，何以邪入而汗不出耶？此乃邪欺肺气之虚，又窥脾肾之不足，反使邪气得蔽于毛孔，故见风反畏。外邪且不能再入，何况内汗能出乎？然则治法惟散肺中之邪，仍补脾肾之气。脾土旺而肺气有生发之机，肾水足而肺金无干燥之苦。自然上可达于脑而头痛除，下可通于膀胱而腰重去，中可和于中焦而一身支节之酸疼尽愈也。方用黄紫丹：白术（五钱）、茯苓（三钱）、当归（五钱）、羌活（一钱）、紫苏（一钱）、甘草（一钱）、细辛（五分）、黄芩（一钱）、麦冬（五钱）、人参（一钱）、贝母（一钱），水煎服。
此方补多于散，何补之中又纯补脾而不补肾耶？人生后天以脾胃之气为主，脾健则胃气自开，胃开则肾水自润。况人参、白术原能入肾，而白术尤利腰脐，一身之气无不利矣。何况肺经为脾胃之子，母健而子亦健，力足以拒邪；又有紫苏、黄芩、羌活、贝母祛风、散火、消痰、泄水之药，足以供其战攻之具，自然汗出热解，而邪从外越也。
此症用益气散风汤亦效甚。
人参、黄芪（各三钱）、甘草、半夏（各一钱）、白术（五钱）、柴胡（二钱）、茯苓（三钱）、枳壳（五分），水煎服。
春季感受风邪，身体发热十余日，热结在里，往来寒热，人们以为是伤寒在太阳，有入里之变也，谁知春月伤风与冬月伤寒不同。冬月之寒入于太阳，久则变寒；春月之风入于太阳，久则变热。寒则迁动不常，必至传经入脏；热则静守不移，惟有固结在腑。然而入脏、在腑虽有不同，而作寒、作热则无不同也。寒在脏，则阴与阳战而发热；热在腑，则阳与阴战而发寒。随脏腑衰旺分寒热往来，此症之所最难辨，亦辨之于时令而已。在冬月而热结在里者，宜用攻；在春月而热结在里者，宜用散。散其热而寒自除，寒除而热亦自止也。方用散结至神汤：浓朴（一钱）、白芍（五钱）、甘草（一钱）、当归（三钱）、枳壳（五分）、柴胡（一钱）、炒栀子（三钱）、桂枝（三分），水煎服。一剂而寒热除，内结亦散。
方中多是平肝之药，绝不去舒肺经之邪。盖肺气为邪所袭，则肝木必欺肺金之病而自旺矣，旺则木中生火，以助邪之热而刑肺。倘不泻肝而徒去散肺经之邪，则肺气愈虚，而热何能遽解耶？惟泻其肝中之火，则内热既衰，益之桂枝数分，但去散太阳之风，不去助厥阴之火，此热结所以顿解也。
此症用清邪散亦效。
桂枝（五分）、茯苓（五钱）、甘草（一钱）、陈皮（五分）、半夏、柴胡（各一钱）、砂仁（一粒），水煎服。
伤风八、九日，风湿相搏，身体烦疼，不能转侧，不呕不渴，人们以为是伤寒之症，风湿在太阳之经也，谁知伤风之病，亦能使风湿之相搏乎。夫湿从下受，而风从上受者也。下受者膀胱先受之，上受者肺经先受之。膀胱受湿，无风不能起浪；肺经受风，无湿亦不能生岚。伤风而致风湿相搏，因下原感湿，而上又犯风，两相牵合，遂搏聚于一身，而四体无不烦疼也。夫烦疼之症，风之病也。湿主重着，烦痛而至身不能转侧，非重着乎？以此分别风湿之同病，实为确据。且风症必渴，湿症必呕，今风湿两病，风作渴而水济之，湿欲呕而风止之，故不呕而又不渴也。治法宜双解其风湿之邪而已。方用双解风湿汤：茯苓（一两）、薏仁（一两）、柴胡（二钱）、防风、甘草（各一钱），水煎服。
柴胡、防风以祛风，茯苓、薏仁以利湿，用甘草以和解之，自然风湿双解，而诸症尽痊也。
此症用风湿两舒汤亦佳。
茯苓、白术（各五钱）、柴胡、防风、半夏、甘草（各一钱）、桂枝（三分），水煎服。
春季感受风邪八、九日，如疟之状，发热恶寒，热多寒少，口不呕吐，人们以为是伤寒中如疟之证，谁知春月伤风，亦同有此症乎。夫风邪入于表里之间，多作寒热之状，不独伤寒为然。伤风之病，轻于伤寒，至八、九日宜邪之尽散矣，何尚有如疟之病？盖无痰不成疟，无食亦不成疟，无痰无食，即有风邪不能为害。然则伤风而有如疟之病者，亦其胸膈胃脘之中，原有痰食存而不化，八、九日之后，正风欲去而痰与食留之耳。热多寒少，非内伤重而外感轻之明验乎？惟口不呕吐，乃内既多热，自能燥湿，痰得火制，自不外吐。然热之极，则外反现寒，恶寒之象乃假寒也。假寒真热，适显其如疟之症，乃似疟而非疟也。治法亦治其如疟，而不必治其真疟耳。方用破假汤：人参（三钱）、白术（五钱）、陈皮（一钱）、神曲（五分）、柴胡（二钱）、山楂（十粒）、甘草（五分）、白芍（五钱）、鳖甲（三钱）、石膏（一钱）、半夏（一钱），水煎服。一剂恶寒除，二剂发热解，四剂如疟之症全愈。
此方于补正之中寓祛邪之味，正既无亏，邪又退舍，此王霸兼施之道也。
此症用散疟汤亦效。
柴胡（二钱）、何首乌、白术（各五钱）、青皮（二钱），水煎服。
春季感受风邪，汗多，微发热恶风，人们以为是传经之邪，入阳明胃中也，谁知伤风春温之症，亦有邪入胃者乎。邪到阳明必然多汗而渴，今汗虽多而不渴，是火邪犹未盛，所以微发热而不大热耳。夫同一外邪也，何伤寒之邪入胃而火大炽，伤风之邪入胃而火微旺？盖伤寒之邪寒邪也，伤风之邪风邪也；寒邪入胃，胃恶寒而变热，风邪入胃，胃喜风而变温。盖其热乃胃之自热，不过风以煽之也。风煽其火，则火必外泄，反不留于胃中，所以皮肤热极而多汗，而口转不渴，异于伤寒传经入胃之邪，而无燎原之祸也。然而终何以辨其非伤寒哉？伤寒恶寒而不恶风，伤风恶风而不恶寒，正不必以冬月之恶风，为是伤寒之的症也。盖恶风即是伤风之病耳。治法散其风而火自解也。方用熏解汤：石膏（三钱）、干葛（二钱）、甘草（一钱）、荆芥（一钱）、茯苓（五钱）、麦冬（五钱）。
In spring, contracting wind pathogen results in headache, nasal congestion, and body fever. This indicates the wind pathogen is about to enter the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channel, rather than being Cold Damage (Shanghan) of the Taiyang channel. Wind contracted in spring enters through the skin and hair into the Lung. If wind enters the Lung and fails to disperse, the nose becomes obstructed. The Qi of Metal (Lung) cannot be elevated, losing its clear and descending function, and inevitably transfers the pathogen to the Taiyang Bladder channel. Fearing the pathogen's entry, the pores are tightly closed, causing the water passages to malfunction. Consequently, water fails to descend while fire flares upward, leading to headache. This is completely different from Cold Damage transmitted to the Taiyang channel. Dispersing the wind in the Lung Metal and blocking its path to the Bladder will naturally resolve the body fever. Use Shufei Tang (Lung-Relaxing Decoction): Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 3 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Zuye (Perilla Leaf, 0.5 fen), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root, 1 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 0.3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, body heat resolves; after two doses, headache and nasal congestion are completely cured.
This formula specifically enters the Lung Metal to disperse wind pathogen. Where there is wind, phlegm must generate; where there is phlegm, fire must exist. Tianhuafen eliminates phlegm and effectively clears fire, serving a dual purpose with a single herb; Guizhi and Fuling open the gate of the Bladder, guiding the pathogen directly to the Bladder for downward excretion. By following the Lung's tendency to transfer the pathogen, the momentum is convenient, utilizing it according to its mechanism.
For this syndrome, Jiawei Ganjie Tang (Modified Sweet Licorice and Platycodon Decoction) is also excellent.
Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber) (each 3 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) (each 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in two doses.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen causes body fever, cough, expectoration of phlegm, aversion to heat, and thirst. This indicates that wind damage has caused Mingyang (Yangming) stomach fire to restrain Lung Metal, not Cold Damage transmitted to the Yangming channel. Yangming Stomach Earth normally generates Lung Metal; why does the generator come to restrain the generated? The Lung is a delicate organ. When wind enters the Lung channel, it necessarily transforms into cold. The Stomach, as the mother of Lung Metal, seeing its child affected by cold, uses heat to assist it. The Stomach itself has no heat; Heart Fire, the mother of the Stomach, knowing the Stomach wishes to generate Metal, sends out its fire to help. However, assisting the excess of Stomach Earth inevitably overcomes the deficiency of Lung Metal. This is like borrowing troops to punish thieves, but instead causing the guest troops to harm the people. Thus, the Stomach becomes hot and the Lung becomes hot, generating symptoms of cough and thirst. The treatment method should purge Heart Fire to pacify Stomach Earth, allowing Lung Qi to be nourished so that wind pathogen disperses naturally. Use Pingxie Tang (Pathogen-Pacifying Decoction): Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, 0.3 fen), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Sugeng (Perilla Stem, 1 qian), Ziwan (Aster Root, 1 qian), Gegen (Kudzu Root, 1 qian), Shigao (Gypsum, 3 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 5 qian), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb, 3 qian), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, 3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Symptoms lighten after one dose, lighter after two, and body cools after three; no need for a fourth dose.
This formula purges Heart Fire by three-tenths and Stomach Fire by six-tenths. The restraint of Lung by excessive Heart Fire is light, while the punishment of Metal by excessive Stomach Fire is heavy. Lightly purging Heart Fire prevents the Heart from assisting the Stomach in punishing Metal; heavily purging Stomach Fire prevents the Stomach from punishing Metal and injuring the Lung. Once Lung Qi recovers, how can Lung pathogen remain?
For this syndrome, Qingwei San (Stomach-Clearing Powder) is also effective.
Shigao (Gypsum), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) (each 2 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 0.3 fen), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 3 qian), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel), Gegen (Kudzu Root) (each 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in one dose.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen causes chills and fever, bitter taste in the mouth, distension and fullness in the hypochondrium, or acid regurgitation. This is Spring-Warmth of the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) channel. Why is winter called Cold Damage and spring called Spring-Warmth? Winter wind-cold is deep injury; spring wind-warmth is shallow injury. Deep injury to Shaoyang brings fear of entering the interior; shallow injury to Shaoyang brings joy of exiting the exterior. Thus, although both injure Shaoyang, wind damage and cold damage are truly different. Regarding treating Shaoyang wind damage, the method need not differ greatly; simply soothe the pathogen in the half-exterior half-interior, and wind pathogen disperses naturally. Although Cold Damage entering Shaoyang has interior symptoms often treated with Da Chaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) or Chengqi class formulas for purgation, wind damage entering Shaoyang requires only Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) for harmonizing; there is no need to use Da Chaihu or Chengqi formulas heavily. Use Jiajian Xiao Chaihu Tang (Modified Minor Bupleurum Decoction): Chaihu (Bupleurum Root, 1.5 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root, 1 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel, 0.5 fen), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Chills and fever resolve after one dose; all symptoms cure after another dose.
This formula is more miraculous than the original. Using large amounts of Fuling allows the pathogen to exit via the Bladder, surpassing simple harmonizing. Assisting Chaihu to disperse pathogen achieves remarkable merit.
For this syndrome, Andan Tang (Gallbladder-Calming Decoction) is also effective.
Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root), Chao Zhizi (Fried Gardenia Fruit) (each 2 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Baishao (White Peony Root), Danpi (Moutan Cortex) (each 3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in two doses.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen causes body fever and incessant vomiting. People assume it is Taiyin (Taiyin Spleen) Cold Damage, but who knows it is Taiyin Spring-Warmth? Taiyin belongs to Spleen Earth. Wind injuring Taiyin means wind within Earth. Wind in the earth causes Earth to tremble and water to overflow, causing incessant vomiting. This is not comparable to Yin-Cold Qi entering Spleen Earth to induce vomiting. This differs entirely from Cold Damage transmitted to Taiyin. Cold Damage requires warming the channels to restore Yang, while wind damage requires dispersing wind to calm Earth. Use Dantu Tang (Earth-Stabilizing Decoction): Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 5 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Gancao (Licorice Root), Gegen (Kudzu Root) (each 1 qian), Shenqu (Medicated Leaven, 0.5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Wind disperses after one dose, body cools after two, and disease cures after three.
The formula removes pathogen within spleen-tonification; when Spleen is strong, wind subsides naturally.
For this syndrome, Hupi Yin (Spleen-Protecting Drink) is also usable.
Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 3 qian), Renshen (Ginseng Root, 2 qian), Rougui (Cinnamon Bark, 0.3 fen), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel, 0.3 fen), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber, 1 qian), Zuye (Perilla Leaf, 0.5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in one dose.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen causes sweating, dry stomach, thirst, and desire to drink water. This is a Spring-Warmth syndrome, with Fire Pathogen entering the Bladder, not Taiyang Cold Damage. The Bladder is the exterior counterpart of Lung Metal. When Lung suffers wind pathogen, it eventually turns hot. Lung seeks rescue from the Bladder, and the pathogen takes advantage of this rescue to move downward. Bladder Water, wishing to save its mother, refuses to drain downward and instead fights wind-fire upward. Seeing the Bladder's righteous Qi is strong, the pathogen does not enter the Bladder but enters the Stomach. Stomach Heat fights the pathogen, causing sweating. Sweating dries Stomach fluids, causing thirst and desire for water to extinguish internal burning. Treatment need not disperse wind or purge flame; quickly promote Bladder diuresis so water exits via urine, then Stomach fluids regenerate naturally. Use Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria): Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 1 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome, 3 qian), Zhuling (Polyporus, 3 qian), Rougui (Cinnamon Bark, 0.1 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Urination promotes after one dose; thirst and sweating stop completely after two doses.
Wuling San exclusively promotes Bladder water. The Bladder is the Taiyang channel. Having sweated from wind damage, Taiyang pathogen should have exited, yet thirst persists, clearly indicating pathogen-heat refuses to exit via skin/hair and seeks to exit downward via the Bladder. Wuling San drains the Bladder; as water flows, fire flows. Fire leaves with water, Stomach fire消, Stomach generates fluids, which moisten the Lung. Lung nourished by Stomach fluids closes the skin/hair; how can pathogen re-enter?
For this syndrome, Zhibai Fuling Tang (Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, and Poria Decoction) is also usable.
Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark) (each 1 qian), Fuling (Poria, 5 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Thirst resolves after one dose, cured after two.
Wind damage causes headache and fever, slight night sweating, and aversion to wind. This is Spring-Warmth wind damage, not a Taiyang syndrome. Headache belongs to Taiyang, but wind can enter the brain causing headache; one cannot assume body fever and headache are Taiyang symptoms. Wind enters via skin/hair, which governs the Lung. Lung connects to the nose, and the nose connects to the brain. Wind entering the Lung draws wind into the brain causing headache. If Lung Qi is strong, pores are tight, and wind cannot enter. Due to Lung Qi deficiency, wind pathogen easily attacks. Pathogen and righteous Qi struggle, causing body fever. With deficient Lung Qi unable to resist, night sweat emerges slightly. This is clearly wind damage; do not treat lightly as cold damage. Where pathogen gathers, Qi is deficient. Tonify Lung Qi deficiency and release exterior wind pathogen; efficacy will be rapid. Use Yijin Sanfeng Tang (Metal-Nourishing Wind-Dispersing Decoction): Renshen (Ginseng Root, 0.5 fen), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry, 3 grains), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 3 qian), Zisu (Perilla Leaf, 1 qian), Manjingzi (Vittex Seed, 1 qian), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root, 1 qian), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Headache removed after one dose, body heat resolved after another, night sweat stops after three.
This formula disperses more than it tonifies. Why named Metal-Nourishing? Lung channel injured by pathogen has very weak Qi. Heavy tonification would be hard to bear. Better to tonify slightly while dispersing exterior; pathogen exits outward while righteousness nourishes inward, benefiting both. Excessive dispersion is actually beneficial tonification.
For this syndrome, Tongnao San (Brain-Unblocking Powder) is also miraculous.
Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Fuling (Poria) (each 3 qian), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 2 qian), Manjingzi (Vittex Seed), Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root) (each 0.5 fen), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) (each 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in two doses.
Wind damage causes headache, fever, body ache, heavy waist, sore joints, aversion to wind, and no sweat. People think it is Cold Damage, but it is not. Cold Damage does not cause aversion to wind. This is internal injury to Spleen and Kidney, with wind taking advantage of deficiency to enter the Lung. Meridians fail to circulate freely, causing body heat. Internal Spleen/Kidney injury seems unrelated to Lung, yet Lung invites external pathogen? Spleen is Lung's mother, Kidney is Lung's child. Mother deficiency leads to child deficiency, and vice versa. With Spleen/Kidney Qi deficient, Lung cannot be non-deficient. Pores are not tight, hair follicles unstable, so wind pathogen easily enters Lung channel. Lung Qi becomes more deficient, unable to moisten Kidney Palace below or irrigate limbs. Hence, whole-body joint soreness and heavy waist. But if Lung is deficient and pathogen enters easily, sweat should exit easily. Why no sweat upon pathogen entry? Pathogen exploits Lung deficiency and spies on Spleen/Kidney insufficiency, blocking pathogen at hair follicles. Hence, aversion to wind. External pathogen cannot re-enter, nor can internal sweat exit. Treatment: disperse Lung pathogen and tonify Spleen/Kidney Qi. When Spleen Earth is strong, Lung Qi has growth potential; when Kidney Water is sufficient, Lung Metal avoids dryness. Naturally, headache resolves upward to Brain, heaviness resolves downward to Bladder, and joint soreness heals centrally in Middle Jiao. Use Huangzi Dan (Yellow Purple Pill): Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 5 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root, 5 qian), Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome, 1 qian), Zisu (Perilla Leaf, 1 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Xixin (Asarum Root, 0.5 fen), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root, 1 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 5 qian), Renshen (Ginseng Root, 1 qian), Beimu (Fritillaria Bulb, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally.
This formula tonifies more than it disperses. Why tonify Spleen only, not Kidney? Postnatal life relies on Spleen/Stomach Qi. Strong Spleen opens Stomach Qi; opened Stomach moistens Kidney Water. Besides, Renshen and Baizhu enter Kidney, and Baizhu specifically benefits waist/navel, benefiting whole-body Qi. Lung is child of Spleen/Stomach; mother strong makes child strong, capable of resisting pathogen. With Zisu, Huangqin, Qianghuo, Beimu to disperse wind, clear fire, eliminate phlegm, and drain water, these provide weapons for battle. Naturally, sweat exits, heat resolves, and pathogen escapes outward.
For this syndrome, Yiqi Sanfeng Tang (Qi-Replenishing Wind-Dispersing Decoction) is also very effective.
Renshen (Ginseng Root), Huangqi (Astragalus Root) (each 3 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) (each 1 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 5 qian), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root, 2 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus, 0.5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen causes body fever for over ten days, heat knotting in the interior, alternating chills and fever. People think it is Taiyang Cold Damage with interior transformation, but Spring Wind Damage differs from Winter Cold Damage. Winter cold entering Taiyang eventually turns cold; Spring wind entering Taiyang eventually turns heat. Cold moves unpredictably, transmitting to organs; heat stays fixed, knotting in fu organs. Though organ/fu involvement differs, chills/fever generation is similar. Cold in organs causes Yin-Yang struggle resulting in fever; heat in fu organs causes Yang-Yin struggle resulting in chills. Alternating chills/fever depends on organ/fu strength/weakness. This syndrome is hardest to differentiate, distinguished by season. In winter, interior heat knot requires purgation; in spring, interior heat knot requires dispersion. Dispersing heat removes chills; removing chills stops heat. Use Sanjie Zhishen Tang (Knot-Dispersing Supreme Divine Decoction): Houpo (Magnolia Bark, 1 qian), Baishao (White Peony Root, 5 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root, 3 qian), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus, 0.5 fen), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root, 1 qian), Chao Zhizi (Fried Gardenia Fruit, 3 qian), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 0.3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Chills and fever remove after one dose, interior knots disperse.
Most herbs in the formula soothe Liver. It does not directly soothe Lung pathogen. When Lung Qi is attacked, Liver Wood bullies diseased Lung Metal and becomes hyperactive. Hyperactivity generates fire within Wood, assisting pathogen heat to punish Lung. If Liver is not purged and only Lung pathogen dispersed, Lung Qi becomes weaker, and heat cannot resolve quickly. Only by purging Liver fire does internal heat decline. Adding a few fen of Guizhi disperses Taiyang wind without aiding Jueyin fire. This is why heat knot resolves suddenly.
For this syndrome, Qingxie San (Pathogen-Clearing Powder) is also effective.
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 0.5 fen), Fuling (Poria, 5 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel, 0.5 fen), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) (each 1 qian), Sharen (Amomum Fruit, 1 grain). Decoct in water and take orally.
After eight or nine days of wind damage, wind-dampness combats, causing vexing body pain, inability to turn, no vomiting, no thirst. People think it is Cold Damage with wind-dampness in Taiyang channel, but who knows wind damage can also cause wind-dampness combat? Dampness is received from below, wind from above. Below, Bladder receives first; above, Lung channel receives first. Bladder receiving dampness needs wind to create waves; Lung channel receiving wind needs dampness to create mist. Wind damage causing wind-dampness combat occurs because lower body originally felt dampness and upper body offended by wind. They combine and combat in the body, causing vexing pain in four limbs. Vexing pain is a wind disease. Dampness causes heaviness. Pain severe enough to prevent turning indicates heaviness. This distinguishes simultaneous wind-damp disease accurately. Wind syndrome causes thirst; damp syndrome causes vomiting. Here, wind causes thirst quenched by water, damp wants to vomit stopped by wind. Hence, no vomiting and no thirst. Treatment: simultaneously resolve wind-damp pathogen. Use Shuangjie Fengshi Tang (Double-Resolving Wind-Damp Decoction): Fuling (Poria, 1 liang), Yiren (Coix Seed, 1 liang), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root, 2 qian), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Gancao (Licorice Root) (each 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally.
Chaihu and Fangfeng dispel wind; Fuling and Yiren promote dampness drainage; Gancao harmonizes. Naturally, wind-damp double-resolved, all symptoms cured.
For this syndrome, Fengshi Liangshu Tang (Wind-Damp Double-Soothing Decoction) is also good.
Fuling (Poria), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (each 5 qian), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Gancao (Licorice Root) (each 1 qian), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 0.3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen for eight or nine days resembles malaria: fever and chills, more heat less chills, no vomiting. People think it is malaria-like Cold Damage, but who knows Spring Wind Damage also has this syndrome? Wind pathogen between exterior/interior often causes chills/fever, not just Cold Damage. Wind damage is milder than Cold Damage; by day 8-9, pathogen should disperse. Why still malaria-like? No phlegm, no malaria; no food retention, no malaria. Without phlegm/food, wind pathogen cannot cause harm. Thus, wind damage resembling malaria implies phlegm/food retained in chest/diaphragm/stomach. After 8-9 days, righteous wind tries to leave, but phlegm/food retain it. More heat less chills proves internal injury heavy, external light mild. No vomiting indicates internal heat dries dampness; phlegm controlled by fire does not vomit. Extreme heat manifests external chills; aversion to cold is false cold. False cold true heat reveals malaria-like symptoms, resembling but not being malaria. Treatment: treat malaria-like, not true malaria. Use Poja Tang (Break-Fake Decoction): Renshen (Ginseng Root, 3 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 5 qian), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel, 1 qian), Shenqu (Medicated Leaven, 0.5 fen), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root, 2 qian), Shanzha (Hawthorn Fruit, 10 berries), Gancao (Licorice Root, 0.5 fen), Baishao (White Peony Root, 5 qian), Biejia (Tartar Shell, 3 qian), Shigao (Gypsum, 1 qian), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Aversion to cold removes after one dose, fever resolves after two, malaria-like symptoms cure after four.
This formula contains pathogen-dispelling ingredients within righteousness-tonification. Righteousness undamaged, pathogen retreats. This is the way of combining King and Hegemon methods.
For this syndrome, Sanmie Tang (Malaria-Dispersing Decoction) is also effective.
Chaihu (Bupleurum Root, 2 qian), Heshouwu (Polygonum Multiflorum Root), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (each 5 qian), Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel, 2 qian). Decoct in water and take orally.
In spring, contracting wind pathogen causes profuse sweating, slight fever, and aversion to wind. People think it is transmitted pathogen entering Yangming Stomach, but who knows Spring Warmth wind damage also has pathogen entering Stomach? Pathogen reaching Yangming必然 causes profuse sweating and thirst. Now, though sweating is profuse, there is no thirst. Fire pathogen is not yet vigorous, hence slight fever not high fever. Same external pathogen: why does Cold Damage pathogen entering Stomach cause fierce fire, while Wind Damage pathogen entering Stomach causes mild fire? Cold Damage pathogen is cold; Wind Damage pathogen is wind. Cold entering Stomach, Stomach dislikes cold and turns hot; wind entering Stomach, Stomach likes wind and turns warm. The heat is Stomach's self-heat, fanned by wind. Wind fans fire, fire leaks outward, remaining not in Stomach. Hence, skin extremely hot, profuse sweating, mouth not thirsty. Different from Cold Damage transmitted to Stomach, avoiding raging fire disaster. How to distinguish non-Cold Damage? Cold Damage aversion to cold not wind; Wind Damage aversion to wind not cold. One need not consider winter aversion to wind as definitive Cold Damage symptom. Aversion to wind is the disease of wind damage. Treatment: disperse wind, fire resolves naturally. Use Xunjie Tang (Smoking-Resolving Decoction): Shigao (Gypsum, 3 qian), Gange (Kudzu Root, 2 qian), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 qian), Jingjie (Schizonepeta Spike, 1 qian), Fuling (Poria, 5 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 5 qian).
