用两手从臂上抹至两拇指间四五十下,以绳扎住,以针刺少商穴,男左女右,出血即愈
。重者再多刺,或刺七指、九指出血,更见速效。再以靛青花敷之。或用赤小豆研细末,陈
醋调敷,如干常润之。
又方∶用升麻,川芎,连翘,牛子,白芷各钱半,黄连八分,水煎,食后服。如肿至太
阳加羌活一钱,肿连耳后加山楂、柴胡各一钱。
夫咽喉者,左为咽属胃,右为喉属肺,乃一身之总要百节关头,呼吸出纳之门户也。咽
在喉之后,主食通胃,即为胃管,俗名食喉,又名软喉者是也。喉在咽之前,主气通肺,即
为肺管,俗名气喉、又名硬喉者是也。咽与喉同在舌下,舌是咽喉总系。又有会厌,居咽喉
上,以司开阖,乃声音之户。凡吞咽必舌抵上 ,会厌即掩其气喉,使饮食入咽而直下,不
掩则饮食溢入气喉必呛。咽、喉、会厌、舌四者,交相为用,缺一则饮食即废矣。
咽与喉,二物也。虽同在舌下而门路各别,喉者肺管,呼吸之门户,主出而不纳,通乎
天也。咽者胃管,水谷之道路,主纳而不出,通乎地气。一出一纳,实为一身之关要。云喉
痹者,谓喉中呼吸不通,言语不出,而天气闭塞也;云咽痛及嗌痛者,咽之低处名嗌,谓咽
中不能纳唾与食,而地气闭塞也;云喉痹及咽嗌痛者,谓咽喉俱病,天地之气并闭塞也。如
此关要之地,是以病则命如悬丝,治之不急、术之不良、药之不精,何能救人性命于危急之
顷也。兹将临症要诀及寒热虚实各种病症,内外方药,各样治法,逐项详细注明,诚能细心
揣摩,无患术之不精矣。
用双手从手臂上抹向两手拇指之间,操作四五十次,然后用绳子扎紧(手臂),用针刺少商穴,男性刺左手,女性刺右手,放出血液后病症即愈。病情严重的再多加几次针刺,或者刺七指、九指使其出血,效果更快。然后再用靛蓝花敷贴患处。或者用赤小豆研成细末,用陈醋调匀后敷贴,如果变干了就经常润湿它。
另一个方子:用升麻、川芎、连翘、牛蒡子、白芷各一钱半,黄连八分,用水煎煮,饭后服用。如果肿胀延伸到太阳经部位,加羌活一钱;如果肿胀牵连到耳后,加山楂、柴胡各一钱。
至于咽喉部位,左边为咽,归属于胃;右边为喉,归属于肺,这是全身的关键枢纽,是呼吸出入的门户。咽位于喉的后方,主管饮食通向胃,就是胃管,俗称食喉,又名为软喉。喉位于咽的前方,主管气息通向肺,就是肺管,俗名气喉,又名硬喉。咽和喉都在舌头下方,舌头是连接咽喉的整体纽带。还有会厌,位于咽喉上方,负责控制开合,是声音发出的门户。凡是吞咽时,必须舌尖抵住上颚,会厌就会盖住气喉,使饮食进入咽部而直接下行,如果不盖住,饮食溢入气喉必然引起呛咳。咽、喉、会厌、舌这四者,相互协作发挥作用,缺了其中任何一个,饮食功能就会废弛。
咽和喉,是两种不同的器官。虽然同在舌头下方,但通道各自分开。喉是肺管,是呼吸的门户,主出而不纳,与天气相通。咽是胃管,是水谷的道路,主纳而不出,与地气相通。一出一纳,确实是身体的关键要害。所谓“喉痹”,是指喉中呼吸不通畅,言语不能发出,是天气闭塞;所谓“咽痛”及“嗌痛”,咽的低处称为嗌,是指咽中不能吞咽唾液和食物,是地气闭塞;所谓“喉痹”及“咽嗌痛”,是指咽喉都患病,天地之气同时闭塞。像这样关键的部位,一旦生病则性命垂危,治疗不紧急、医术不高明、药物不精当,怎么能挽救人的性命于危急时刻呢?现将临症的要诀以及寒热虚实各种病症,内外方药,各种治法,逐项详细注明,如果能细心揣摩,就不担心医术不精进了。
Use both hands to stroke from the arms towards the space between the two thumbs, performing this action forty to fifty times. Then, tie a rope tightly around the arm, prick the Shaoshang acupoint (LU11) with a needle—on the left hand for males and the right hand for females—and release blood; the condition will be cured immediately. For severe cases, prick more times, or induce bleeding from seven or nine fingers for faster effect. Subsequently, apply indigo flower paste to the affected area. Alternatively, grind adzuki beans (Vigna angularis) into fine powder, mix with aged vinegar, and apply as a poultice; if it dries, keep it moistened regularly.
Another prescription: Use Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Forsythiae Fructum (Lianqiao), Arctii Fructus (Niuzi), and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi), each 1.5 qian; Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian) 0.8 qian. Decoct in water and take after meals. If swelling extends to the Taiyang channel area, add Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo) 1 qian; if swelling involves the area behind the ear, add Crataegi Fructus (Shanzha) and Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), each 1 qian.
Regarding the throat region, the left side is the pharynx (Yan), belonging to the Stomach; the right side is the larynx (Hou), belonging to the Lung. This area is the vital hub of the body and the gateway for respiration. The pharynx is located posterior to the larynx, governing food passage to the Stomach, also known as the esophagus, commonly called the "food throat" or "soft throat." The larynx is located anterior to the pharynx, governing air passage to the Lung, also known as the trachea, commonly called the "air throat" or "hard throat." Both lie beneath the tongue, which serves as the main connection for the throat. The epiglottis is situated above the throat and regulates opening and closing, acting as the gate for voice production. During swallowing, the tip of the tongue must press against the palate, causing the epiglottis to cover the airway, allowing food and drink to enter the pharynx and descend directly. If not covered, food entering the airway will cause choking. The pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, and tongue function interdependently; loss of any one would impair swallowing.
The pharynx and larynx are two distinct structures. Although located beneath the tongue, their pathways differ. The larynx is the lung tube, the portal of respiration, governing exhalation without intake, connecting with Heaven's Qi. The pharynx is the stomach tube, the pathway for food and fluids, governing intake without exhalation, connecting with Earth's Qi. One exhaling and one inhaling constitute the vital key of the body. "Throat Bi" refers to obstruction in the larynx where breathing is difficult and speech is impossible, indicating blockage of Heaven's Qi. "Pharyngeal pain" and "Ai pain" refer to the lower part of the pharynx, named Ai, where swallowing saliva and food is impaired, indicating blockage of Earth's Qi. Combined "Throat Bi" and "Pharyngeal-Ai pain" indicate disease in both organs, with simultaneous blockage of Heaven and Earth Qi. In such a critical location, illness leads to precarious life; if treatment is not urgent, medical skill is poor, or medicine is imprecise, how can human life be saved in critical moments? Herein, essential clinical principles and various conditions of cold, heat, deficiency, and excess, along with internal and external prescriptions and treatments, are detailed item by item. Careful study ensures mastery of medical skills.
