《金匮要略》中说:香港脚(一种以足胫肿重、麻木疼痛为主要表现的疾病)的病邪上行至少腹,导致该部位感觉迟钝或丧失,应用肾气丸治疗。这是因为湿邪之气从下部侵袭向上蔓延,若肾气虚弱、阳气不足,无法抵御外邪,病邪就会逐渐侵入少腹,导致气血痹阻,出现麻木不仁的症状。肾气丸能够调理肾气,肾气得以调和,邪气自然下行,麻木不仁的症状也就随之消失。
肾气丸
熟地黄(八两) 山茱萸 山药(各四两) 茯苓 泽泻 牡丹皮(各三两) 附子(炮制) 肉桂(各一两)
以上八味药研成细末,用炼蜜制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂,每次服用三钱,空腹时用淡盐汤送服。
《三因极一病证方论》中的吴茱萸丸,用于治疗香港脚病邪入腹,腹部感觉迟钝,气喘急促近乎死亡的情况。

将上述药物研为细末,用酒调糊制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂,每次服用五十丸,最多一百丸,饮酒送服即可;或者将木瓜蒸烂,研磨成膏来制丸,效果尤其好。
所谓香港脚上气,是因为风毒湿气沿着经络上行进入肺脏的缘故。肺主气并主管呼吸,邪气侵入后,导致气道紧迫,气机升降不顺,从而引起上气喘促胀满,严重时甚至不能仰卧。

香港脚冲心的症状,表现为心胸烦闷,呕吐,气急,严重时脉搏微弱甚至摸不到,有濒死感。这是因为风湿毒气,起初从足部发起,若久治不愈,就会向上冲击心胃部位,属于最为危急的证候。此时必须迅速采取降气、除湿、泄毒的治疗方法,不可迟缓。

The *Jingui Yaolue* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet) states: When Hongjiaojiao (a disease characterized by swelling and numbness of the lower legs) pathogenic factors ascend to the lower abdomen, causing insensibility in that area, Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill) should be used. This is because dampness pathogenic factors invade from below and move upward; if Kidney Qi is deficient and Yang energy is weak, failing to resist the invasion, the pathogen gradually enters the lower abdomen, leading to Bi obstruction (blockage of meridians and collaterals) and resulting in insensibility. Shenqi Wan regulates Kidney Qi; once Kidney Qi is harmonized, the pathogenic factors naturally descend, and the insensibility resolves.
Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill)
Prepared Rehmanniae Radix (Shu Dihuang, 8 liang)
Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Rougui/Shanyuzhuyu, 4 liang)
Chinese Yam (Shanyao, 4 liang)
Poria (Fuling, 3 liang)
Alisma Rhizome (Zexie, 3 liang)
Moutan Cortex (Danpi, 3 liang)
Prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix (Fu Zi, 1 liang)
Cinnamon Twig (Rougui, 1 liang)
Grind the above eight ingredients into fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 3 qian per dose, administered on an empty stomach with light salt water decoction.
Wuyu Wan (Evodia Pill) from *Sanyin Fang* (Treatise on the Causes and Manifestations of All Diseases) treats Hongjiaojiao where pathogenic factors enter the abdomen, causing abdominal insensibility and severe asthma approaching death.
Evodiae Fructus (Wuyu, washed seven times with hot water)
Chaenomelis Fructus (Mu Gua, deseeded, sliced, sun-dried, equal proportion to Evodiae Fructus)
Grind into powder, bind with wine paste to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 50 to 100 pills per dose, washed down with wine. Alternatively, steam Chaenomelis Fructus until soft, grind into paste for pill formation, which is particularly effective.
The condition known as "Hongjiaojiao Shangqi" (Ascending Qi in Hongjiaojiao) occurs because wind-toxicity and dampness follow the meridians upward into the Lung. The Lung governs Qi and respiration; when pathogenic factors invade, the airway becomes tight, and the ascending and descending mechanisms are obstructed, causing upper asthma and fullness. In severe cases, the patient cannot lie flat.
Sangbaipi Tang (Mulberry Bark Decoction)
Mori Cortex (Sangbaipi, processed with heat, 2 liang)
Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi, 1 liang)

The syndrome of "Hongjiaojiao Chongxin" (Hongjiaojiao Rushing to the Heart) manifests as chest and heart vexation and oppression, vomiting, and rapid breathing. In severe cases, the pulse may disappear, indicating a critical state nearing death. This is because wind-damp toxicity originates in the feet; if untreated for a long time, it rushes upward to the Heart and Stomach regions, constituting a most urgent condition. Methods to direct Qi downward, eliminate dampness, and drain toxicity must be employed without delay.
Wuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction)

Chaenomelis Fructus (Mu Gua, 1 liang)
Areca Seed (Binglang, 2 liang, chicken-heart shape preferred)

Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty suffered from Hongjiaojiao. At midnight, his condition suddenly worsened with blockage; a mass like a large stone formed in his left hypochondrium. He was near death, unconscious and blocked for three days, while his family wept bitterly. Zheng Xunmei from Yingyang transmitted this prescription. After taking it, within half a day, his Qi flowed freely, and he recovered immediately.
