辨阳明病脉证并治全篇
Yangming stage, its condition, pulse and treatment
阳明主里,内候胃中,外候肌肉,故有病经、病府之分。如论中身热烦渴,目痛鼻乾不得眠,不恶寒,反恶热者,此阳明经病也;渐热谵语,手足腋下
然汗出,腹满痛,大便硬者,此阳明府病也。而其候各有三:经病则有邪已传阳明而太阳之表未罢,兼见头痛恶寒无汗之太阳证者;有太阳之邪已罢,悉传阳明,但见壮热有汗,心烦不眠,口渴引饮之阳明证者;有阳明之邪未已,复转少阳,兼见胸胁痛,寒热往来,口苦而呕,目眩耳聋之少阳证者。府病则有太阳阳明,谓太阳病,或发汗,或吐,或下,或利小便,亡其津液,胃中乾燥,太阳之邪,乘胃燥而转属阳明,致小便反数,大便硬者,所为脾约是也;有正阳阳明,谓阳气素盛,或有宿食,太阳之邪,一传阳明,遂入胃府,致大便不通者,所为胃家实是也;有少阳阳明,谓病已到少阳,法当和解,而反发汗,利小便,亡其津液,胃中燥热,复转属阳明,致大便结燥者,所为大便难者是也。其治阳明经病,则以葛根汤或桂枝加葛根汤发之,或以白虎汤清之,或以柴胡白虎汤和之,随其证而施之可也。其治阳明府病,虽均为可下,然不无轻重之分,故或以三承气汤下之,或麻仁丸通之,或蜜煎胆汁导之,量其病而治之可也,此阳明病之大略也。兹以在经、在府二者,详疏於篇,俾读者易为分别,则临证施治,自不紊矣。
Yangming is a stage, which connect and
associated with stomach inside and muscle outside. Xieqi in the
Yangming stage can also stay only in the meridian level, or in
the inside organ level. If the person has hot, heavy thirsty,
eye pain, dry nose and hard to sleep, no chilly, but dislike
hot, the disease is in the meridian level; If he has hot,
Chattering syndrome, sweat in the hands and feet and arm pitch,
fullness and pain in the stomach, hard stool, it is in inside
organ level. In clinic, there are also various combination of
the meridian conditions: the Xieqi has passed into the Yangming
but there is still some extent of Xieqi remains in the Taiyang
stage, the person has also headache, chilly, no sweat – such
Taiyang conditions; the Xieqi is mainly in the Yangming stage,
the person has high fever, sweat, annoyed so not to be able to
fall into sleep, dry mouth and thirsty; the Xieqi can also stay
mostly in the Yangming stage, but starts to develop partly into
the Shaoyang stage, the person pain in the chest and side of
upper stomach, cold-hot shift, bitter taste in mouth, nausea,
dizziness in eyes, deaf in ears;
In the organ level, there is three
different conditions: Taiyang Yangming. It means the person
during the Taiyang stage, has had sweat therapy, vomiting
therapy, bowel-cleansing therapy, or urine therapy, that caused
depletion of body Jinye to make it dry in the stomach, so that
the bowel movement becomes hard (but the urine becomes
frequent). This is called Piyue condition. The second is the
Zhengyang Yangming. The person has strong stomach function
before the disease, or has old stool in the intestines, the
Xieqi comes in to bind with the dead stool to block the Weiqi
movement in the Stomach. It is called Weijia Shi condition. The
third is the Shaoyang Yangming. It means that the Xiexi has
developed into the Shaoyang stage. It supposes to have a
harmonizing therapy but a sweat therapy, or a urine therapy has
been given, that depleted the body Jinye, making the stomach
dry, so making the Xieqi back to the Yangming again, making the
stool is hard to pass. To solve the problem in the meridian
level, use the Gegeng Tang, or Guizhi jia Gegeng Tang to
evaporate the Fire, or use Baihu Tang to clear the Fire; to use
Chaihu Baihu Tang to harmonizing the Fire. To solve the organ
level Yangming diseases, use various Chengqi Tang, or use Maren
wan; or Midao Jian to conduct the stool. The readers have to be
careful to understand the difference.

Yangming stage is that an incomplete sweat therapy used in the
early Taiyang stage.
[3]
04 阳明病,若能食,名中风;不能食,名中寒。
In the Yangming stage, if the person
remains pretty normal appetite, his Yangming stage is due to the
deeper invasion of the Wind Xie (Wind invasion); if he lose
appetite, it is due to the deeper invasion of Cold Xie (Cold
invasion).

07 问曰:恶寒何故自罢?答曰:阳明居中,主土也。万物所归,无所复传,始虽恶寒,二日即止,此为阳明病也。
Asked: why the chilly can stop by it self?
Master: Yangming is associated to the middle of the body[7],
associated to soil[8]. Soil is the home, the final
destination of everything on the earth. Therefore, when the
Xieqi transports further, it will move into the Yangming stage.
[9]
08 问曰:何缘得阳明病?答曰:太阳病,若发汗、若下、若利小便,此亡津液,胃中乾燥,因转属阳明。不更衣,内实,大便难者,此名阳明也。
Asked: how comes the Yangming stage?
Master: when in Taiyang stage, the person was given a sweat
therapy, bowel-cleansing therapy, or a urine therapy, all of
which may cause loss of Jinye[10], make the
Stomach dry, so that the Xieqi comes into the Yangming stage.

the Stomach is full.

Asked: what’s the difference between
Taiyang Yangming; Zhengyang Yangming, and Shaoyang Yangming?
Master: Taiyang Yangming means Piyue syndrome[11];
Zhengyang Yangming means the Stomach Fullness[12]; Shaoyang
Yangming means difficult in bowel movement. The Shaoyang
Yangming is caused due to improper sweat therapy and too much
urination therapy.[13]
10 阳明病,脉浮而紧者,必潮热,发作有时,但浮者,必自汗出[14]
In the Yangming stage[15], if the
person has floating and tight pulse[16], he will
have wave-hot[17], which
comes and goes regularly. If his pulse is only floating, he must
have sweat[18].
11 阳明病,脉迟,汗出多,
发热[19],微恶寒者,表未解也,可发汗,宜桂枝汤。
In the Yangming stage, if the person feels
hot[20], large

improve the condition. Use Mahuang Tang.
[22]
13 阳脉微而汗出少者,为自和也;汗出多者,为太过;阳脉实,因发其汗,出多者,亦为太过。太过者,为阳绝於
,亡津液,大便因硬也
If a person has weak pulse and mild sweat,
it means he will get recovery by himself. If the pulse is weak
but the sweat is big, it means that the sweat therapy is
improperly too much. If his pulse is floating and tight
(stronger), it is also improper with too much sweat. Over sweat
exhausts Yang Qi, loss Jingye[23], so the
stool will be hard to pass.
14 阳明病法多汗,反无汗,其身如虫行皮中状者,此以久虚故也。
Yangming stage should have big sweat. If
the person has no sweat but feel as worms moving in the skin, it
means he is weak for a long time. (Herb Gegeng Tang should be
used).
15 阳明病,初欲食,小便反不利,大便自调,其人骨节疼,翕翕如有热状,奄然发狂,
然汗出而解者,此水不胜谷气,与汗共并,脉紧则愈。

appetite[24], but the
urination is hard and the bowel movement is normal[25], and if
he feels pain in the joints, feels mild hot[26], has

sweat, it means that his Gugi
[27]is strong
while Shuiqi is relatively weak, so the Guqi, that belongs to
hot to Yang Qi, push the Shuiqi out as a sweat. With the
emotional onset and tight pulse, he will get recovery.
16 伤寒,发热无汗,呕不能食,而反汗出濈濈然者,是转属阳明也。
For Cold-invasion Shanhang stage, if the
person has hot and no sweat first[28], now nausea and continuous very
mild sweat, it suggests that the disease is to transfer into the
Yangming stage.
17 伤寒脉浮,发热无汗,其表不解,不可与白虎汤;渴欲饮水,无表证者,白虎加人参汤主之。
For Cold-invasion Shanghan stage, if the
person feels hot, no sweat but his pulse is floating, it
suggests that the Xieqi is still in the Taiyang stage[29]. Herb Baihu Tang should not be
given. If he feels thirsty and wants to drink, and no signs for

If the person feels very hot and sweat, his
hot subsides after the sweat, such condition repeated again and
again as a malaria. If he also feels hot in the evening (about

(has appetite), herb Xiao Chengqi Tang should be used little by

condition lasts to six days, give Xiao Chengqi Tang. If there is
no bowel movement for six to seven days, the urine is little
too, even if the person cannot eat, but the stool is hard in the
beginning part, the latter part must be loss one. If the stool
is not hard, the use of Chengqi Tang will cause diarrhea like

smooth, the stool then is hard. Then the Da Chengqi Tang can be
used.

In Yangming stage, slow pulse, though
sweat, no chilly, the body will be heavy, the person will feel
short of breath, fullness in Stomach that cause asthma, if he
has hot-wave, it means the disease is to recover from Taiyang
stage. Bowel cleansing therapy can be used to clear the inside.
Sweat in hands or feet suggest that the stool is hard, so the Da
Chengqi Tang can be used. If the sweat is very heavy, the person
feels mild hot and chilly, it means the disease is still in the
Taiyang stage. If the hot is not as a wave, the Da Chengqi Tang
should not be used. If the person feels strong fullness in the
Stomach area without bowel movement at all, try Xiao Chengqi
Tang first to harmonize the Stomach inside. Heavy bowel movement
should be prevented.
28 阳明病,潮热,大便微硬者,可与大承气汤,不硬者,不可与之。若不大便六、七日,恐有燥屎,欲知之法,少与小承气汤,汤入腹中,转失气者,此有燥屎也,乃可攻之。若不转失气者,此但初头硬,後必溏,不可攻之,攻之必胀满不能食也。欲饮水者,与水则哕,其後发热者,必大便复硬而少也,以小承气汤和之,不转失气者,慎不可攻也。

is mild hard (the whole part of the stool), the Da Chengqi Tang
can be used. Otherwise it should not be used. If there is no
bowel movement for six to seven days, it may suggest hard stool
in Stomach. How to know it? Try Xiao Chengqi Tang. After
drinking the it, the person has fart (from anus), it indicates
the stool is hard inside, so Da Chengqi Tang can be used. If
there is no gas, or the stool is only hard in the beginning, Da
Chengqi Tang should not be given. Otherwise its use will cause
big fullness in Stomach and affect the appetite. In this case,
only use Xiao Chengqi Tang little by little to harmonize the
Stomach. In addition, if the person wants to drink, drink will
cause Yue syndrome[37]. If he
later feels hot, his stool must turn to hard and little in
amount. Try Xiao Chengqi Tang only.
[38]
29 阳明病,曕语,发潮热,脉滑而疾者,小承气汤主之。因与承气汤一升,腹中转失气者,更服一升,若不转失气者,勿更与之。明日又不大便,脉反微涩者,
虚也,为难治,不可更与承气汤也。
In Yangming stage, if the person has
chattering under unconsciousness, wave-hot, fast and slippery
pulse[39], Xiao
Chengqi Tang is to be used. After drinking, if the person has
fart, drink one more times; if no fart, stop to take it. Wait to
next day, if there is no stool, and the pulse is mild harsh, it
suggests that the body condition is weak, it is hard to treat.
Any Chengqi Tang should not be given.
30 伤寒若吐、若下後不解,不大便五、六日,上至十馀日,日晡所发潮热,不恶寒,独语如见鬼状。若剧者,发则不识,循衣摸床,惕而不安,微喘直视,脉滑[40]者生,涩者死。微者但发热曕语者,大承气汤主之,若一服利,则止後服。[41]
With Cold-invasion Shanghan disease, after
using vomiting or bowel-cleansing therapy, the disease remains
no improvement. The person has no bowel movement for five to six
days, even up to ten days. He also has wave-hot in the evening
(sunset time), no chilly, chattering as see a ghost. For severe
case, the person may loss recognition to person, touch
surrounding material, irritable and restless, mild asthma, and
eye staring forwards[42]. For such
person, if his pulse is as slippery, he will live. If it is
harsh, die. For mild case, if the person only has hot and
chattering under unconsciousness, give him Da Chengqi Tang to
drink. If he has bowel movement, stop to drink it.
31 阳明病,本自汗出,医更重发汗,病已差,尚微烦不了了者,此大便必硬故也。以亡津液,胃中乾燥,故令大便硬,当问其小便日几行,若本小便日三、四行,今日再行,故知大便不久出。今为小便数少,以津液当还入胃中,故知不久必大便也。
Yangming disease should have continuous
sweat. The person however was given sweat therapy again. The
disease seems quiet down but the person still feels annoyed
emotionally suggesting that it is actually not improved. This
person must have hard stool that makes him annoyed, that again
is due to the sweat therapy (depleted the Jingye in the
stomach). At this movement, his urination should be checked. If
the urine is usually 3 to 4 times a day but now it is the same,
the stool will not come out soon. If the urine is reduced, the
stool will come out soon, since the water will come back to the
Stomach to help the stool movement.(so no treatment is needed)[43]
32 阳明病,自汗出,若发汗,小便自利者,此为津液内竭,虽硬不可攻之,当须自欲大便,宜蜜煎导而通之。若土瓜根及大猪胆汁,皆可为导。

sweat himself. If the sweat therapy is used and he has frequent
urine, the Jingye inside will be depleted. In this case,

therapy.

64 太阳病,当恶寒发热,今自汗出,反不恶寒发热,关上脉细数者,以医吐之过也。一、二日吐之者,腹中饥,口不能食;三、四日吐之者,不喜糜粥,五日六日吐之者[77],欲食冷食,朝食暮吐,以医吐之所致也,此为小逆。
The person with Taiyang stage should feel

66 病人脉数,数为热,当消谷引食,而反吐者,此以发汗令阳气微,膈气虚,脉乃数也,数为客热,不能消谷,以胃中虚冷,故吐也。
If a person has fast pulse, the fast means
Fire. He should have good appetite to eat. However he has easy
vomiting. This is because he has weak in the Yangqi in the
stomach or there is weak and Cold in the stomach that
contributes to the vomiting. The Fire in this condition is a
floating Fire on the surface of the body, not in the stomach.
The weak and cold in the stomach is due to over done of a sweat
therapy.

If a person is in Yangming stage and cannot
eat, and if a bowel-cleansing therapy causes Yue syndrome, the

five days, if the person has deep pulse, asthma and full chest,
the deep pulse means the disease is inside. In this case, if
sweat therapy is used, the Jingye is depleted, making the stool
hard to pass. All of this creates a weak surface but Shi
condition inside. The person will have chattering syndrome after
a while.

stop to drink more.
75 汗出谵语者,以有燥屎在胃中,此为风也,须下者,过经乃可下之。下之若早,语言必乱,以表虚里实故也。下之愈,宜大承气汤。
If a sweat causes Chattering syndrome, it
suggests a hard stool in the Stomach. It belongs to a Wind-invasion
condition. It must be waited until there is no sign of the Wind
in the Taiyang stage, to start a bowel-cleansing therapy. If the
bowel-cleansing therapy is used too early, the one will have
confused mind to Chattering syndrome. For such surface weak but
inside Shi condition, Da Chengqi Tang is used.
76 阳明病,谵语有潮热,反不能食者,胃中必有燥屎五六枚也,宜大承气汤下之,若能食者,但硬尔
(不必用药)。
With the Yangming disease, if the person
has Chattering syndrome and wave-hot, he should remain appetite.

staring forwards eyes and Chattering syndrome but also asthma
and full chest and stomach, he may die. If he has the eye

color in whole body and eyes, hard in urine, wave-hot, Yue
syndrome from time to time, swelling in front and in rear of the
ears, and if acupuncture only helps little bit for the whole
conditions but the Taiyang condition remains. If after ten days
the conditions remain, the pulse is string, Xiao Chaihu Tang is
used. If the pulse is only floating after the ten days, and no
other new symptoms, Mahuang Tang is used. If he has no urine,
feels fullness in Stomach and the Yue syndrome, it is difficult
to treat.
82 脉浮而芤脉,浮为阳,芤为阴,浮芤相抟,胃气生热,其阳则绝。
If the pulse feels floating and hollow, the
floating suggests Yang condition (Qi floating), and the hollow
pulse suggests Yin condition (depletion of blood). When the Yang
and Yin condition co-exit, overwhelming Yang produce Fire and
overwhelming Yin causes sweat to lose Jingye, which creates Fire
in the Stomach Qi, burning down the Stomach Jingye more, so that
the Stomach Yin and Yang turn to exhausted completely (to die).
[95]

In Yangming stage, the person should have
more and continuous sweat. Now the person has no sweat and has
easy or frequent urine, suggesting a Cold Xieqi invasion inside.
If the Cold goes verse up, the one will feel nausea and cough;
if the Cold expands to the hands or feet, the one will feel cold
in the hands and feet. If the person has the Cold expands to the
head, he should have strong headache. If he has no nausea, cough
or Jue condition, he should have no headache.

that the disease is the Wind-invasion, so that he may feel
dizziness.
[97] If he has
cough, he will also have sour throat, if no cough, there will no
sour throat.
[98]
85 病人有寒,复发汗,胃中冷,必吐
。
In the Yangming stage, if the person has
Cold in the Stomach, repeated sweat therapy[99] will make
the Cold worse, to cause vomiting.
[100]
86 发汗後,水药不得入口为逆,若更发汗,必吐[101]不止。
In the Yangming stage, if the person has
Cold in the Stomach, and if he cannot drink any water or herbs
after having had a sweat therapy, it suggests he has had an
improper treatment. If the sweat therapy is used again, the
person will have continuous vomiting (hard to stop).
87 脉浮而迟,表热里寒,下利清谷者,四逆汤主之。
In Yangming stage, if the pulse is floating
and slow, it suggests Fire in surface of the body, but a Cold
inside. If the person has diarrhea with undigested food, Sini
Tang should be used.
[102]
88 阳明病,欲解时,从申至戌上。
For a disease in the Yangming stage, it may
be improved from any time between 3 pm and 9 pm, or it may be
worse from any time of this time period.[103]
With a proper treatment, or if the disease
is in cure by itself, or if the disease belongs to a weak
condition, the disease is improved from any time during this
time period[104]. With an
improper treatment, or if the disease is progressing, or if the
nature of the disease belongs to a Shi condition, it will be
worse from any time during this time period.[105]
[1] In TCM, Yangming meridian connect
to stomach in side, and to muscle out. It means that,
whenever a disease involves the stomach and/or muscle,
we should try to identify if the disease is in the
Yangming stage. Here, be careful that the stomach
includes the concept of stomach, small and large
intestine and colon in the western medicine. Therefore
in this book, whenever we use the word Stomach, it means
the whole bully, or whole tummy. The person with
previously introduced Fullness syndrome and Jiexiong
syndrome also feels fullness in the Stomach. The
Fullness syndrome has fullness but no pain even when
press the Stomach and the Jiexiong syndrome has pain
even without press on the Stomach. But both have no
major disorder in bowel movement.
[2] The pulse in the Yangming stage is
big, since the Yangming meridian contains more blood and
Qi compared with other meridians. Once the Xieqi comes
into this stage or this meridian, the pulse will become
big.
[3] The sweat is incomplete, so the
Xieqi comes deeper into the Yangming stage.
[4] Wind Xieqi belongs to Yang Xie,
that can warm up and digest the food, so the person can
keep appetite. The Cold Xieqi belongs to Yin Xie, that
prevents the warm and the digestion of food, so the
person loses appetite.
[5] If the person still feels chilly,
his disease is at least partly in the Taiyang stage.
Also, in the Taiyang stage, the person has no feeling of
dislike hot. The hot in the Yangming stage comes from
muscle, so the hot is continuous hot, not as the hot in
the Taiyang stage, which is from time to time.
[6] Fullness, hard, pain and hard for
bowel movement is the inside symptoms of the Yangming
stage. The feeling hot, heavy sweat, and dislike-hot are
the outside symptoms of the Yangming stage. Pain, or
stiff, or numb or any discomfort along the hand Yangming
meridian or feet Yangming meridian are the meridian
symptoms of the Yangming Stage. Each Stage has its own
inside, outside and the meridian symptoms. The outside
symptoms for the Taiyang stage is chilly, hot, pain and
tightness in the neck. Its inside symptom is the
problems in the urine bladder and lower stomach fullness
or pain.
[7] That the Yangming is located in
the middle of the body, is the concept of the
Five-element theory. If we compare the Yangming and the
Taiyang, the Taiyang is the surface level of the body,
the Yangming is the inside of the body.
[8] The soil is the concept of the
Five-element theory. The five element talks about the
relationship between Wind, Fire, Soil, Metal, and Water.
In some books, the Soil is translated into the Earth. We
don’t think it is a proper word. The earth is a concept
corresponds to the Sun, the Moon and other planets in
the universe, whereas the Soil, the Fire, the Water, the
Wind, the Metal are all the elements on the earth.
[9] No matter the Xieqi comes from the
Taiyang, or from the Shaoyang, or from Taiyin, Shaoyin
or Jueyin stage, when it comes into the Yangming stage,
the person will feel hot.
[10] Yingye in TCM means liquid part
of the body, including water, blood, gall bladder juice,
bone marrow, etc. It is a broad concept.
[11] Taiyang Yangming: the Yangming
stage comes after the Taiyang stage due to improper
treatment. It is also called Piyue. The meaning of the
Piyue is various among literatures.
For treatment, herb Xiao Chengqi Tang is used.
[12] The Stomach Fullness is not we
previously mentioned stomach Fullness syndrome. The
stomach Fullness syndrome means the fullness in the
stomach per se. The Stomach Fullness means the fullness
and hard in whole tummy, including the stomach, small
and large intestine, and colon. Whenever the stomach is
written as the Stomach, it means the whole tummy. For
the treatment, Da Chengqi Tang is needed.
[13] Shaoyang Yangming is caused by
improper sweat therapy. The person with the Shaoyang
Yangming has had bowel movement. Hard bowel movement can
be seen in many person with high blood pressure with
anti-pressure therapy as diuretics. The proper herb is
Maren Wan.
If there is still Xieqi in the
Taiyang stage, the Xieqi in the Taiyang stage should be
expelled before the treatments for the Taiyang Yangming,
Zhengyang Yangming and the Shaoyang Yangming.
[14] In original version, it is “night
sweat”.
[15] When in the Yangming stage means
that the person has hard bowel movement, or no bowel
movement, or the Stomach Fullness syndromes.
[16] The floating and tight pulse is
the Taiyang pulse. It means that the Yangming stage
comes from the Taiyang stage and there is still Xieqi in
the Taiyang stage, though the Xieqi has invaded deep
into the Yangming stage. For treatment, Mahuang Tang jie
Gegeng should be used.
[17] Wave-hot means hot as a flash hot
that lasts very short, say, several seconds or minutes
only, then reduces to normal. The person will the hot as
a hot wave.
[18] In one book version, it is night
sweat.
[19] In original version, there is no
“feels hot”.
[20] In one book version, there is no
“feel hot”. If there is no hot, the large sweat and
chilly suggest the surface weakness, the herb Guizhi jia
Fuzi Tang is needed, not the Guizhi Tang alone.
[21] The pulse in the Yangming stage
should be big and long. If the pulse is slow and the
person has no chilly, it means the Xieqi has come into
the Yangming stage completely. Here, the person still
feel hot and chilly, indicating that the Xieqi is partly
in the Taiyang stage. So, remove the Xieqi from the
Taiyang stage first.
[22] The pulse in the Yangming should
be big and floating. If it is only floating, it means
that the Xieqi is remains partly in the Taiyang stage,
so does the “no sweat but asthma”. Therefore, the
principle is to remove the Xieqi from the Taiyang stage.
Herb Mahuang Tang is used (since it works for the no
sweat asthma).
[23] Jingye: liquid part of the body.
It is an opposite concept to the Yang Qi.
[24] That the person in the Yangming
stage has normal appetite suggests that the Xieqi comes
from Wind-invasion in Taiyang stage.
[25] In Yangming stage, the bowel
movement is hard but the urine should be normal. Now,
the urine is hard (the Xieqi influences the Taiyang
inside organ: urine bladder), but the bowel movement is
normal, suggests the Xieqi is mild, not cause typical
Yangming stage yet.
[26] Joint pain and mild hot feeling
suggests that the Xieqi is partly stage in the Taiyang
stage.
[27] Guqi: the absorbed nutrition- or
energy-like material from digestion. Shuiqi: water-,
liquid-, vapor-like material in the body. Sometimes it
is called Shiqi.
[28] Feeling hot but no sweat suggests
a Cold-invasion in the Taiyang stage.
[29] If the disease is in both Taiyang
stage (the person feels hot, not sweat, but the pulse is
floating), and Yangming stage (very thirsty and
madness), herb Da Qinglong Tang is needed. If he is in
pure Yangming stage, and has thirsty, herb Baihu jia
Rensheng Tang is used.
[30] In original version, it said the
person has hot outside but cold inside with the
floating-slippery pulse. Most later scholars believe
that it might be a wrong written. Slippery pulse
suggests hot, floating-slippery pulse indicates hot in
both inside and outside.
[31] For a malaria-like hot-sweat
feeling, it can be in a Yangming stage or in a
Wind-invasion Taiyang stage. It should be told from the
pulse: if the pulse is strong and big, it is in Yangming
stage; if it is floating and weak, it is in Taiyang
stage. So the herbal formula is different. In clinic,
there are lots of patients with such malaria-like
hot-sweat symptoms.
[32] That frequent urine but a hard
stool suggests that the Taiyang stage is to be deeper to
the Yangming stage.
If after such various therapy, the person feels
annoyed but no disorder in the urine or stool, Zhizi Zhi
Tang is to be used.
[33] The herb Da Chengqi Tang or Xiao
Chengqi Tang are not used, since there is no hard or
pain in the Stomach.
[34]
For people with constipation and annoyed, depression or
anxiety or similar emotional disorders, pay attention to
the Tiaowei Chengqi Tang condition. (the conditions
supporting the use of this herb formula). Previously we
have introduced that (1),
when after sweat
therapy or bowel-cleansing therapy, the person feels
hot, annoyed emotionally, fullness and pressing feeling
in the chest, herb Zhizi Zhi Tang should be used mostly.
(2), After bowel-cleansing therapy, if the person feels
more annoyed emotionally, if the stomach area is soft
when press, the annoyed is weak/hollow annoyed, herb
Zhizi Zhi Tang should be used.
[35] Clearing the Fire through stool
is one of very important way to remove the big Fever.
[36] If the person feels annoyed, hard
in the upper stomach area, and there is no bowel
movement for four to five days, the pulse is strong, not
weak, the Da Chengqi Tang is to be used. If the pulse is
weak, as indicated here, try the Xiao Chengqi Tang
first. Da means big, strong; Xiao here means small,
mild. Whenever the stool is hard in its beginning part,
not in whole stool, the Da Chengqi Tang should not be
used.
[37] Yue means an air/gas pushing from
stomach.
[38] Wave-hot plus mild hard in stool
is the indication to use Da Chengqi Tang. If only no
bowel movement for six to seven days, Xiao Chengqi Tang
should be tried first. If there is fart, Da Chengqi Tang
can be followed, if not, it should not be used, just
continue the Xiao Chengqi Tang, little by little.
[39] Slippery pulse indicates
remaining food/stool in the Stomach; fast pulse
indicates Fire inside.
[40] In original version, the pulse
here is “string”.
[41] In TCM, once a patient has
problem in consciousness, doctor should check his bowel
movement, see if he is in the Yangming stage.
Yangming stage is associated with the disorders
in the Stomach area, that is believed the second “brain”
of the body. This concept is only recently accepted by
Western Medicine.
[42] That chattering as see a ghost,
loss recognition to person, touch surrounding material,
irritable and restless, mild asthma, and eye staring
forwards all suggest a severe condition. The Yang Qi in
the body is to floating out of the body, it is not bind
to the body Yin.
[43] This paragraph tells what will
happen to use sweat therapy during the Yangming stage.
[44] Sweat therapy and the person’s
own frequent urine will promote the production of hard
stool.
[45] Mi here means honey. Dao means
conduction.
[46] It will be hard after cool and
will be difficult to make it as a bar.
[47] Shi Condition: not a weak
condition. It means there are some disease mass in the
body. The mass here means hard stool.
[48] If a person with Shanghan disease
has had such eye syndrome and difficulty in bowel
movement, it suggests there is hard stool in the Stomach
now.
[49] In the Yangming stage, if the
urine is easy, the stool tends to be hard. If the urine
is difficult, the stool tends to be easy. However, if
the urine is difficult but the stool is not constantly
hard, but the person already has asthma that makes the
person hard to sleep, air reverse pushing syndrome, it
also suggests that there is inside Fire. In this case,
even if the person does not lose conscience yet, it
suggests a hard stool ready in the Stomach. So, urgent
bowel cleansing therapy should be used.
[50] In clinic, not every people who
feet hungry can eat. Hungry feeling and eating is
different things. Also, To feel dry mouth and feel
thirsty is different clinic phenomenon. To feel thirsty
and to drink is different thing too. TCM doctor mush
distinguish them clearly.
[51] The annoyed feeling, hunger but
cannot eat, sweat only on head, all indicate Yangming
hot steaming in upper part of the body, not a indication
for hard stool in the Stomach. It indicates a Yangming
surface level disorder, not a organ level disorder.
[52] For the three Yang zheng, e.g.
Taiyang, Shaoyang and Yangming, all have nausea symptom.
It is caused by stroke of Yang Qi by the Xieqi. Hot,
chilly and nausea suggests a Taiyang stage; chilly and
hot shift, nausea suggests a Shaoyang stage, Here nausea
with hard stool suggests that the Xieqi reverse up.
[53] In this situation, dry mouth and
throat, bitter taste in mouth suggests a Shaoyang stage;
asthma, hot and chilly, floating and tight pulse
suggests Taiyang stage; Full Stomach suggests Yangming
stage. So, it is a mixed clinic condition. If there is
more indications to the Taiyang and Yangming, herb
Guizhi jia Dahuang Tang should be used; if it is mostly
Shaoyang and Yangming stages, herb Da Chaihu Tang should
be used. After clearing the Taiyang and Shaoyang stage,
then focus on the treatment of Yangming. Othewise, the
Xieqi from the Taiyang or Shaoyang will shrink deep into
the Yangming stage.
[54] This paragraph is difficult to
understand somehow.
[55] Slow pulse indicates middle Cold
syndrome, e.g. it is Cold in the Stomach area. The Cold
condition of course is not proper for food digestion
(normal digestion require warm). So, eating does not
supply digested food to absorb into the body, there fore
the person still feels hungry. If he try to eat more to
combat the hungry feeling, the over ate food block the
Qi moves down the body, so it moves reverse to the head
to cause dizziness. The Qi is also hard to moving down
to leave body as urine, so the urine is hard. The
blocked food tends to cause a jaundice – e.g. the Gudan.
For such Cold
Yangming, herb Gancao Ganjiang should be used first to
warm the stomach, then use Tiaowei Chengqi Tang to push
the stool movement.
[56] This is another kind of Cold
syndrome in the Stomach, that inhibit the use of
bowel-cleansing therapy, even if the person has other
indications to a Yangming stage.
[57] In original version, there is no
“if he has difficulty in urine”.
[58] This paragraph is also hard to
explain.
[59] Be careful that it is indicated
as “upper stomach”, not the Stomach that means the whole
tummy area. Here the person feels fullness and hard, but
no pain. It is a weak fullness, a condition indicating
the use of Banxia Xiexin Tang. If he has also pain, the
condition is Jiexiong, and the bowel-cleansing can be
used.
[60] After bowel movement and loss
Jingye, if the person want to drink, it suggests that he
still has little Yang Qi to save himself. If he has no
desire to drink, it suggests that there is no Yang Qi in
the body any more, it is only the Yin overwhelming –
very dangerous condition.
[61] For women, the accumulated Fire
could release through the period blood, so to recover.
If it is a man, the Fire may accumulate in the Lower
Jiao cavity. The Fire cannot deplete from the body so to
steam up in the head as sweat. So, Master asked to use
acupuncture treatment to solve this problem.
[62] Yangming belongs to Stomach,
associates to mouth. So, if there is Fire, the mouth
will feel dry. However, feels dry but not to swallow
suggests that the Fire is in the meridian, not in the
Organ (the Stomach), and the Fire is in the blood not in
the Qi. Fire in the meridian so causes the blood
movement out of order. Nose is the starting point of the
Yangming meridian, so the bleeding could come to the
nose.
[63] Here, floating pulse and hot, dry
nose and mouth all suggest that the Fire is in the
Yangming meridian, not in the organ level. The person
has normal appetite, since the Fire in the meridian, not
in the organ level.
[64] For people with dementia, always
check his bowel movement and the color. If there is
accumulated dead blood in Taiyang stage, it is in urine
bladder, the person tends to be mad, Taohe Chengqi Tang
is used; if it is in Yangming stage, it is in the
Stomach (intestines) and the person tends to be poor
memory. Di Dang Tang is used. Di Dang Tang is stronger
than the Taohe Chengqi Tang, since the Taiyang meridian
is short of blood, while the Yangming meridian is rich
of both blood and Qi.
[65] If a person has Wet syndrome
inside, then an attack by Cold may cause jaundice after
coming into the Yangming stage and mixed with the Wet
there. This
herb tea works to remove the Xieqi from the skin and
urine.
[66] Xingbaipi can be replaced by herb
Yinchen.
[67] Fresh yellow, or bright yellow
skin suggests the presence of Wet and Fire in the body.
Dark, not bright yellow skin suggests the jaundice is
the combination of Wet and Cold. Yinchenhao Tang is used
for the Wet-Fire jaundice. It removes the Wet and Fire
through the urine and stool.
[68] Mahuang Lianqiao Chixiaodou Tang,
Yinchenhao Tang and this Zhizi Bopi Tang all are used in
jaundice. The mahuang Lianqiao Chixiaodou Tang is used
for the jaundice person with more evidence of Taiyang
surface conditions; the Yinchenhao Tang is used with
inside disorders (fullness, hard stool, etc.), whereas
this Zhizi Popi Tang is used for person without either
Taiyang evidence or inside organ conditions of the
Yangming stage.
[69] In original version, it is herb
Gancao.
[70] For Yangming out level syndrome,
the person typically has fever and sweat. For Yangming
organ level disorders, such as the Stomach Fullness
syndrome, the person may have no sweat. For Yangming
early stage in the meridian level, the person may has no
sweat either. If there is no sweat, herb Gegen Tang
should be used to create sweat to deplete Xieqi out of
the body. If he is exposed to fire, the fire will
stimulate Fire inside the body that make the yellow
couldn’t deplete from the urine.
[71] If the person in Yangming stage
has no sweat, the jaundice can deplete from urine. If
the urine is not easy, the jaundice cannot be depleted,
so the jaundice happens. Annoyed and impatience suggest
that the Fire has already accumulated inside.
[72] Red face suggests that the
Yangming stage is in its meridian level, not in the
organ level, so the bowel-cleansing therapy should not
be used.
[73] No sweat but urine difficulty
means Wet and Fire. No sweat and easy urine suggests
Cold.
[74] Floating and slow pulse indicates
Taiyang stage. Deep and slow suggests Taiyin stage. I
doubt the floating and slow pulse here should be deep
and slow.
[75] A disease can transfer from
Yangming stage further into the Taiyin stage and it can
also transfer reversely back from Taiyin to Yangming
stage. Generally speaking, transfer from Yang stage into
Yin stage suggests progressing while that from a Yin
stage back to a Yang stage suggests a regression of the
disease.
[76] This is a condition that the
Jingye has been lost through the vomiting. For such
annoyed, herb Zhuye Shigao Tang should be used.
Generally speaking, if there is no Jingye loss, a
condition of no sweat but annoyed needs Da Qinglong Tang
(the Fire is in surface); a condition of sweat and
annoyed needs Baihu Tang (the Fire is in inside); a
condition of no sweat but annoyed after vomiting or
bowel-cleansing therapy needs Zhizi Zhi Tang (the Fire
is inside and even if the stool might be hard); a
condition of sweat and annoyed and hard stool needs
Tiaowei Chengqi Tang.
[77] In original version, there is no
“vomiting on the fifth and sixth day”.
[78] Feeling no hot or chilly, but
sweat means the surface Xieqi has been depleted.
[79] Fast and thin pulse on the Guan
position suggests that the condition in the stomach is
not in a harmony. Thin pulse suggests weakness and fast
suggests Fire.
[80] During the first and second day,
the disease is in the Taiyang stage, so the person can
still feel hungry but cannot eat, since the stomach
function is weak.
[81] During the third and the forth
day, the disease is in the Yangming stage, vomiting
causes loss of Yingye, so the person has not appetite,
since the Yangming is related to food digestion.
[82] During the fifth and sixth day,
the disease has transferred to a Yin stage, such as in
Taiyin stage. Vomiting causes Cold in the Stomach, so he
has the later vomiting.
[83] Yangming is associated to the
stomach to hold food. Now there is Cold in the Stomach
so it cannot hold food to cause vomiting. Wuzhuyu Tang
works to warm the Stomach. If the person has worse
condition after drinking of the herbs, it indicates that
the condition does not belong to Cold in the stomach,
but a Fire in the chest. In this case, use Gegen jia
Banxia Tang. Upper Jiao Cavity: the cavity above the
diagram, including the organs in the chest: lung and
heart.
[84] For the Yangming stage, loss of
appetite can happen when the Stomach has Fire, or the
Stomach has Cold. Bowel-cleansing therapy should be used
when the person has Fire in the Stomach, has wave-hot
and delirium.
[85] Yue syndrome: an air- or
gas-reverse from stomach, a kind of dry nausea, but not
a hiccup or belch.
[86] In such stomach Cold and
weakness, Lizhong Tang jia Wuzhuyu and Dingxiang Tang is
used.
[87] In original version, there is
“allow him to have big sweat” after the “give patient
cold water to drink”.
[88] Yue syndrome only can be due to
either stomach weakness or Cold in it. The co-exist of
the Yue syndrome and the Stomach suggests the Qi
movement is blocked in the Stomach. If it is blocked in
the front urine, Wuling San is used; if it is blocked in
the bowel movement system, Chengqi Tang is chosen.
[89] Shi condition: not weak
condition. It can be due to Fire burning inside, that
disturb the spirit and conscious ness to mad.
[90] This condition is caused by over
sweat, the Stomach is not a really Fullness. So, Xiao
Chengqi Tang is used, not a Da Chengqi Tang.
[91] The stool that comes through the
diarrhea must be very odor, sticky, thick, so to
indicates the combination of a Fire and the dead food
(dry stool) in the Stomach. The person should also have
urgent feeling to have the diarrhea.
[92] The dead food residue block the
Qi moves down, so the Stomach Qi moves reverse up to the
brain to cause the loss of consciousness condition.
[93] In original version, the pulse
here is “floating”.
[94] All of the conditions here
suggests the co-exist of various Yang and Yin stages:
floating pulse suggests Taiyang stage;
string pulse, Shaoyang stage; big pulse, Yangming
stage. Again, no sweat, Taiyang condition; hard urine,
Taiyang organ stage; pain in upper stomach and side of
stomach and Qi stagnation feeling when press, swelling
around the ears, Shaoyang stage;
dry nose, and fullness in stomach, wave-hot,
Yangming stage, willing to lie down, Shaoyin stage;
jaundice, Taiyin stage. In such complex condition, a
proper treatment is to work on the Shaoyang stage, so
the Xiao Chaihu Tang is used.
[95] In this condition, sweat therapy,
vomiting therapy or bowel-cleansing therapy none should
be used to cause more depletion of the Yin and Yang.
Rather, the Yin ye should be supplied urgently.
[96] The point for this condition is
the Cold in the Yangming stage. The Cold moves reverse
up to causes nausea, cough or headache; or to block the
Yangqi moves to the hands and feet to cause cold feeling
in the hands and feet. Herb Xiao Qinglong Tang should be
used. Cough
and nausea can be seen in Taiyang and Shaoyang stage. It
is needed to distinguish. The Jue condition can usually
be seen in Jueyin, Taiyin condition. Here the Master
remind us it can also happen in the Yangming stage.
[97] If the Yangming comes from the
Cold-invasion, the person should have less appetite and
tends to feel headache, not the dizziness.
[98] If it is due to the Cold
invasion, the person tends to have cough and nausea and
headache. If it is Wind-invasion, the person tends to
have cough, dizziness and sour throat. Note: if the sour
throat is due to heavy cough. The sour throat is more
seen in Shaoyin condition, in which the person has sour
throat independent of cough.
[99] Sweat therapy could deplete
Yangqi through the sweat.
[100] The Cold
blocks the Weiqi moves down as normally it does, or the
Weiqi goes reverse up to cause the vomiting. In this
case, try Lizhong Tang and take Wumei Wan the same time.
[101] In
original version, there is “diarrhea” after the
“vomiting”.
[102] This
paragraph tells a extreme condition with the Cold in the
Stomach. The floating pulse here is not due to the
co-exist of a Taiyang stage, but due to the expel of
inside Yangqi to the body out layer by the too strong
Yinqi inside.
[103] This is
a time period which corresponding to the reduction of a
Yangqi in the nature and the shrinking, contracting, or
storing of Yangqi in the body. The trends of the Yangqi
in the Nature helps, vibrates with the Yangqi in the
body, so to cause corresponding trends of the Yangqi in
the body: to move deeper from body surface layer to the
inside core. This is a time period of Sun set. Therefore
in winter, it starts close to the 3 pm and in Summer, it
starts to the 9 pm.
[104] Proper
treatment plus the Yangqi movement in the Nature helps
the cure of the disease.
[105] It is a
very important way to distinguish the Yangming stage
from other stages by checking its improvement time
period or a worse period.
