13-15 lines in lower burner part (wen bing tiao bian)

[three chapter.·lower burner part]

1. wind warmth, warm heat, warm epidemic, warm toxin, winter warmth




(13). After heat evil enters lower burner deep, the pulse is sunken and rapid, and there is dry tongue, and black teeth, and then even though there is moving feeling only in the fingers, one must prevent tetanic reversal urgently, Er Jia Fu Mai Tang (二甲复脈) governs this.

This line is to inform presymptom of tetanic reversal for people. At seven or eight days after warm disease if heat enters deep and does not resolve, fluids in the mouth get dry, even though there is moving feeling only in the fingers, one should prevent tetanic reversal immediately. One must not treate this after tetanic reversal occurs, therefore one should nourish yin with Hu Mai Tang (复the pulse汤) and add drugs such as crustacean to subdue yang, this make yang and yin communicate with each other and then tetanic reversal will not almost occur.

   

Er Jia Fu Mai Tang (二甲复脈汤)

    (the method with salty, cold, sweet, and moisture.)

This formula add Mu Li (牡蛎, five qian) and Bie Jia (鳖甲, eight qian) to Jia Jian Fu Mai Tang (加减复脈汤, Modified Restore the Pulse Decoction).

(14). In lower burner warm disease, if there is severe heat, severe revesal, pulse which is fine and skipping, great moving in the heart, in severe case there is pain in the heart, San Jia Fu Mai Tang (Triple-Armored Pulse-Restorative (san jia fu mai tang) ) governs this.

The Er Jia Fu Mai Tang (二甲复脈汤) in the above is to prevent tetanic reversal, even though tetanic reversal has already occurred, this formula can be used. San Jia Fu Mai Tang (Triple-Armored Pulse-Restorative (san jia fu mai tang) ) is that Gui Ban (龟板) is adde to Er Jia Fu Mai Tang (二甲复脈湯). This is due to great moving (paipiation) in the heart and pain in severe case. The great moving (paipiation) in the heart is because the heart take water as the body. When liver wind is exuberant, immediately the fluids gets exhausted. Originaly vacuity kidney is uanable to help the liver, so tetanic reversal occurs. Furthremor, after tetanic reversal occurs, it is harder for water to be supplemented suddenly, therefore the heart fails to be supplied with water, therefore palpitation occurs. In severe case there is pain in the heart,; “ the disease in yin link vessel (陰維) causes heart pain”, this sign is because prolonged heat damages yin. Eight extra meridians (奇經八脈) link to the liver and kidney, the vacuity of the liver and kidney influences to yin link vessel, this causes pain in the heart. This pain is different with the pain in the heart which cold qi invaiding the heart and chest causes and is treated with warming and freeing. Therefore one have to calm kidney qi, supplements conception vessel, and free yin link vessel with Gui Ban (龟板) to pause heart pain, and make Er Jia (二甲: Mu Li and Bie Jia) which enter the liver to reple evil, help the action of Gui Ban.

   

San Jia Fu Mai Tang (Triple-Armored Pulse-Restorative (san jia fu mai tang) )

 (same with Er Jia Fu Mai Tang (二甲复脈汤))

Gui Ban (龟板, one liang) is added to Er Jia Fu Mai Tang (二甲复脈汤).

(15). There is alreay reveral, in addition to this, there is retching, and the pulse is fine and strong, Xiao Ding Feng Zhu (小Wind-Stabilizing Pill (ding feng zhu) Major Arrest Wind Pearl) governs this.

Warm evil, staying in lower burner for long time, burns liver humor and this causes reversal, agitates thoroughfare vessel and this lead to retching, the qi of yin and yang reduces so that the pulse is fine, liver wood gets strong so that the pulse is stong. Therefore this makes Ji Zi Huang (鸡子黄) to replete earth and calm internal wind.;Gui Ban (龟板) supplements conception vessel and calms thoroughfare vessel.;E Jiao (阿胶) has a nature of descendinf, supplements the fluids and extinguishes liver wind.; Although Dan Cai (淡菜) lives in salty warter but the flavor is bland, and the valve of the exterior is two and the interior is one, this is the image of Kan Gua (坎卦) so that this can supplement true yin of the yin, this is closed tightly so that this can subdue true yang moving upward.;child’s urine is turbid fumor so that this returns to tubid way, this is used as assistant. This is named Ding Feng Zhu (Wind-Stabilizing Pill (ding feng zhu)), Ji Zi Huang (鸡子黄) looks like breeds and is supplied with the essence of Xun Mu (Xun Mu (巽木 wind wood) wind wood), therefore this can extinguish liver wind, the liver is related with Xun Mu (巽木 wind wood) and Xun (巽 wind) means wind. A tortoise also has breeds (egg) and the virtue of Zhe Wu (真武, the god of north) so that this calms Zhen Mu (震木, thunder wood). Zhen (震) is related with thunder and the gall bladder in human, when the thunder crashes, wind occurs, and when thunder calms, wind get subdued. Exuberant yiang ascending directly to the vertex is as like dragon ascending toward heaven, what restrains dragon is tortoise.
