香港脚痹挛,多由寒气所致。寒邪导致筋脉拘急,热邪则使筋脉弛缓;寒邪使脉道闭塞,热邪则使气血流行。寒邪搏结于筋脉,会导致筋脉拘挛、麻木,肢体不能随意转动,行走困难,严重时甚至无法屈伸。

脚膝肿痛,是由于风寒湿热之邪侵袭气血,导致气血不能宣通,从而壅滞形成肿胀,凝涩形成疼痛。这是因为人的气血,遇到温暖则运行通畅,遇到寒冷则停滞不前。此外,邪气侵犯人体,若仅在下部而未波及上部,这就是所谓的“伤于湿者,下先受之”。因此,疏导下部的气血,固护中焦脾胃,是较好的治疗方法。

Hongjiao (Gout) with Bi syndrome and spasms is mostly caused by Cold pathogen. Cold causes tendons to contract, while Heat causes them to relax; Cold obstructs the vessels, while Heat promotes flow. When Cold combines with the tendons and vessels, it leads to spasms and numbness, making movement difficult, walking arduous, and in severe cases, flexion and extension impossible.

Swelling and pain in feet and knees occur when Wind-Cold-Warm pathogens invade Qi and Blood, preventing their smooth circulation, leading to stagnation causing swelling and coagulation causing pain. This is because human Qi and Blood flow when warmed and stop when chilled. Furthermore, when pathogens invade the body but remain only in the lower part without reaching the upper part, this is referred to as "those injured by Dampness are first affected below." Therefore, dredging the lower part and protecting the middle part is the proper method.
