Chapter on Rare Diseases

The Yellow Emperor asked, "People have a heavy body and it gets dark in the ninth month. Why is that?" Qi Bo to the Sun: The formation of the pulse and the maintenance of the blood vessels. The emperor said, "Why do you say so?" Qi Bo Ri: The meridian that runs out is related to the kidney, the Shaoyin meridian, which runs through the kidney and is the root of the tongue, so it cannot be spoken. Emperor Ri: What should be done about governance? Fang Bo Ri: It is incurable. It should be restored in the tenth month. The "Method of Pricking" states: "Not damaging the insufficient but enhancing the abundant, so as to achieve what the people call 'not damaging the insufficient', the body is weak and thin, and there is no need for nickel or stone." When there is no benefit to the excess, the form in the abdomen will be discharged. When it is discharged, the essence will come out and the disease will only invade the middle. Therefore, it is called the formation of rash. The emperor said, "The hypochondrium is full, the qi is rebellious, and it doesn't stop at the age of two or three. What is the cause of the disease?" Qi Bo Ri: The disease is called Xi Ji. This can be treated through food, but not by moxibustion or acupuncture. Ji is treated by guiding and taking medicine. Medicine alone cannot cure it. The emperor said, "If a person has swelling in the limbs, thighs and bones, and pain around the navel, what disease is it?" Qi Bo Ri: The illness is called Fuliang, which is a sign of the wind. The qi overflows into the large intestine and causes blindness. The origin of the blindness is below the umbilicus, and it causes pain when placed around the umbilicus. Do not move it; doing so will cause a disease of drowning and astringency. ① Zhi: The original work is "true", modified according to the "Jia Yi Jing". ② Luo: The original work "Luo", adapted from "Too Tired". The same below. ③ To cure the disease: Later, the original phrase "then adjust it" was revised and deleted according to Shile, the "Jia Yi Jing", and the new correction. The emperor said, "If a person has a very rapid pulse and tendons, what disease is this?" Qi Bo said: This so-called rash and sinew indicates that the person's abdomen is bound to feel urgent. If the white or black color is visible, the illness is very serious. The emperor said, "If a person has been suffering from a headache for several years without stopping, how could he have it?" What disease does a name cause? Qi Bo said, "There must be a serious offense." Coldness extends internally to the bone marrow, with the brain being the main part of the marrow. When the brain is reversed, it causes headache and toothache. The disease is called jueli. Buri: The best. An emperor asked, "What is the name of the disease for those who have a sweet taste in their mouths?" How was it obtained? "Qi Bi Ri: When these five energies stir up the world, it is called spleen exhaustion." The five flavors of the human body are stored in the stomach. The spleen regulates their essence and qi, and body fluids are in the spleen, which is why the human body tastes sweet. This is the source of the rich and delicious food. This person must have eaten a lot of sweet puffs and gained a lot of fat. Fat causes internal heat, and sweetness causes fullness in the middle. Therefore, the qi rises and turns into diabetes. Treating it with orchids can eliminate the stale air. The emperor said, "If you are ill and have a common mouth, take the Yangling Spring." What is the name of the disease for those who suffer from daily hardships? How was it obtained? Qi Bo said, "The name of the disease is Gallbladder fluid." The liver is the general of the liver and depends on the gallbladder, with the pharynx functioning. This person is indecisive in his planning, has a weak gallbladder, and experiences an upward flow of qi, causing pain in the mouth. To treat it, one should have the courage to recruit Yu, as described in "The Twelve Officials of Yin and Yang and Their Mutual Guidance". The day of the Emperor: For those with tumors, it is not enough to cross the river ten times a day. The body is as hot as charcoal, the neck is as tight as a grid, the person is irritable and restless, and the breath is shortness of breath. This is an excess. If the solar meridian is as fine as hair, this is insufficient. Where is his illness? What disease does a name cause? Qi Bo said: "When the disease is in the Taiyin, it is abundant in the stomach and severe in the lungs. The disease is called jue. If it dies and is not treated, this is what is called having more than five and less than two." Emperor's Day: What does it mean to have more than five and less than two? The so-called "five excesses" refer to the excess of the five diseases' qi, and the deficiency of the two is also the insufficiency of the disease qi. Now, with more than five things on the outside and two things lacking on the inside, his body is neither outwardly nor inwardly, and he is indeed dead and clear. Emperor Day: For those born with epilepsy, what is the name of the disease day? How can it be obtained? Qi Bori: The disease is called boat disease. When it occurs in the mother's womb, the mother is greatly alarmed. Her qi rises but does not descend, and the essence and qi coexist. Therefore, the molecules develop into epilepsy. Emperor's Day: If there is a disease that feels like water, and the pulse is large and tight, but there is no pain in the body, the body is not thin, cannot eat, and eats very little, what kind of disease is it? The disease that occurs in the kidneys is called kidney wind. Those with kidney wind who cannot eat and are prone to being startled will die if their heart and qi become rapid after being startled. Emperor's Day: Good.
