Title
Theory of yangming syndromes treated with cheng qi tang
Description

Woodcut illustration from an edition of 1833 (13th year of Daoguang reign period of Qing dynasty). The image and text give an account of the principles of yangming syndromes treated with Qi Supporting Decoction (cheng qi tang), and the therapeutic effects of the individual ingredients of this remedy.Yangming fu-organ syndrome involves internal accumulation, leading to abdominal pain and distension with constipation; fire and heat cause the bodily fluids to overflow, making the patient sweat. Because the Qi of theyangmingchannel flourishes in theshenyoutime period, tidal fever (chaore) appears at that time. Theyangmingchannel connects with the eye, so firey Qi, rising upwards as steam, causes visual disturbances. As stomach fire ascends, it attacks and perturbs the spirit, causing confusion, delirium and raving. Thus Major or Minor Qi Supporting Decoction is used to flush out the intestine, purge away accumulated heat, and get rid of the various symptoms.
