tai yang SHL lines
SHL Line 1: In Tai Yang disease the pulse is floating, the head and nape are stiff and painful, and
there is aversion to cold.
SHL Line 2: In Tai Yang disease, when there is heat effusion, sweating, aversion to wind, and a pulse
that is moderate, it is called Wind Strike.
SHL Line 3: Greater Yang disease, whether heat has effused or not, as long as there is aversion to
cold, with generalized pain, counterflow retching, and yin and yang pulses are both tight it is called Cold
Damage.
SHL Line 71: When in Greater Yang disease, after sweating is promoted and a great sweat issues, if
there is dryness in the Stomach, vexation and agitation with insomnia, giving a small amount of water
will harmonize the Stomach Qi so that recovery will ensue. (2) if the pulse is floating and there is
inhibited urination, slight heat, and dispersion thirst, Wu Ling San governs.

SHL
SHL Line 273: In disease of Tai Yin there is abdominal fullness and vomiting with the inability to get food down, severe spontaneous diarrhea, and periodic spontaneous abdominal pain, and if purged (precipitation is used) there will be a hard bind below the chest.
SHL Line 277: When there is spontaneous diarrhea and thirst is absent, this belongs to Tai Yin disease; because there is cold in the storehouse (zang), one should use a warming treatment. A counterflow cold decoction formula is appropriate.
