7 Tian Hua Fen Ebook chills and fever heart vexation this means there is no resolution Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang governs Analysis There was Shang Han for five or six days and although sweating was promoted the illness did not resolve Commonly there will be a transmutation into a Xiao Chai Hu Tang pattern Because the patient was mistaken diagnosis and the patient was purged the evil heat caved inward The chest and rib side fullness had diminished slightly but there is slight knotting The fluids do not descend so there is inhibited urination The fluids are also scanty because the heat has damaged them and caused dryness This is why there is thirst but no vomiting The Qi surges upward and so sweat issues from the head The alternating chills and fever and heart vexation show that the Chai Hu presentation has not resolved In this case Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang governs Discussion The slight knotting is like that described for Da Xian Xiong Tang However in this case there is only slight knotting The Da Xian Xiong Tang presentation appears with harder knotting Jin Gui Yao Lue on Malarial Illness Chai Hu Gui Jiang Tang treats malarial illness with abundant cold There is only slight heat There may also be cold with no heat at all One package is very effective Translated and Compiled by Sharon Weizenbaum 2021

8 Tian Hua Fen Ebook Analysis When malarial illness breaks out and there is more cold with less heat more chills than fever or cold with no heat chills with no fever this formula is suitable to use Discussion Reflections on the Clinical Presentation From the above two clauses one cans see that this formula treats illness that is half exterior and half interior This is like the Xiao Chai Hu Tang presentation However Xiao Chai Hu Tang treats a Yang heat presentation while the presentation for this formula is either abundant cold with slight heat or abundant cold with no heat This is why this is for a half exterior and half interior Yin presentation Generally Yin presentations do not present with heat The half exterior and half interior is not the same as the Shaoyin or Taiyin in which there is no heat and the evil has a pathway to exit A Jueyin evil has not pathway for exit and so it is very easy for cold to turn to heat This is why there is often upper heat with lower cold But this heat is very slight This formula treats malarial illness when there is abundant cold and slight heat It is also for cases in which cold is the main cause with heat being only minimally relevant A fellow student I know from when I was in Jiangxi named Zhang Qiu Shui treated constipation He often used this formula modifying according to the presentation and it was invariably effective Although the idea that this is a Spirit like formula that will cure with one package Translated and Compiled by Sharon Weizenbaum 2021

Tian Hua Fen Ebook 10 inhibited urination This is Shaoyang illness accompanied by water congealed internally This is somewhat different than Shaoyang illness alone The Shaoyang includes both the foot Shaoyang gallbladder channel and the arm Shaoyang San Jiao channels When the pivot mechanism of the Shaoyang is inhibited the gallbladder inner fire is constrained in the interior This can lead to abnormality of the function of dredging the ditches of the San Jiao and this can lead to water accumulation in the middle In addition the evil is knotted in the Shaoyang and so there is slight fullness in the chest and rib side The ditches are not dredged so that they are open through The water fluids are not able to move downward and so the urination is not open through There is water stoppage and Qi constraint without the ability to transform and generate body fluid and so the Stomach Qi is still harmonious This is why there is no vomiting However there is sweating from the head and the Shaoyang pivot mechanism is inhibited The water pathways are not flowing The Yang is constrained and cannot drain the whole body or steam up to the upper parts For this presentation one uses Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang This method harmonizes the center of Shaoyang as well as transforms water and resolves accumulation A simple table to illustrate the presentation and treatment of the Shaoyang illness accompanied by water congealed internally Translated and Compiled by Sharon Weizenbaum 2021

17 Tian Hua Fen Ebook Shaoyang The Shaoyang pivot mechanism is inhibited and this is the cause of the gallbladder heat being constrained above The cause of the inhibited urination is two fold On the one hand the Shaoyang pivot mechanism influences the Qi transformation On the other the spleen Yang is insufficient so the transformation and transport of the fluids is not good The lack of retching tells us that the Shaoyang evil has been transferred to the Taiyin so it is not influencing the stomach Fu Although Zhang Zhongjing was not clear about the condition of the bowels a viscous stool presentation is unavoidable Without saying it the disease pathology indicates this involvement of Taiyin It may not influence the bowel so therefore there is the saying that it has transferred into a Yin pattern This has the same meaning as when we look at the Taiyang opening clause It does not say fever The meaning is identical 2 To grasp this formula one must stress bitter mouth and viscous stool In regard to the application of Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang Dr Liu thinks that chapter 14 of the Shang Han Lun clearly points out that this formula treats gallbladder heat and spleen cold with inhibited Qi transformation and diminished fluids This causes abdominal distention sticky diarrhea inhibited urination mouth thirst heart vexation or rib side pain effecting the back numbness of the arms and fingers wiry Translated and Compiled by Sharon Weizenbaum 2021

61 Tian Hua Fen Ebook However I thought about this later and could see that the reason Ge Gen was used was based on rational theory After careful pondering I saw that this patient s pulse was wiry and thin and that this was the real crux of the issue If the pulse had been deep slow and without strength that would have shown that clearly the fluids had been severely damaged In the end the degree to which the pulse is without strength in its beating is how one can know that Ge Gen is not suitable The wiry thin pulse indicates that that there is fluid damage but that nevertheless the channels and vessels are also constricted Moreover the latter is the principle contradiction the doctor wanted to resolve It is because of wanting to resolve this question that the doctor used Ge Gen s ability to resolve the muscles relax that channels and generate fluids Perhaps this is exactly why the doctor used the original formula Gui Zhi Jia Ge Gen Tang A senior once said the difficulty with Chinese medicine is in selecting and distinguishing and when differentiation formula patterns is the pinnacle of Chinese medicine s differentiation of patterns The more one differentiates the formula pattern with meticulous care and flawless accuracy the more one can master the herbs in the formula with high proficiency In examining and studying this case I am able to understand these similar formulas and these two similar herbs with slight differences Again I take a deep sigh when I realize the greatness of Zhongjing And now I have shared this consideration and experience with all of you Translated and Compiled by Sharon Weizenbaum 2021
