Wind strike exterior deficiency patterns
Line 53
"When illness is characterized by frequent spontaneous sweating, it means construction qi is in harmony and when in such cases construction qi is in harmony, it is the outer body that is not harmonious; that is to say it is because defense qi is not in harmony with construction qi. Because construction qi moves in the vessels and defense qi moves outside the vessels, by the further promotion of sweating, construction and defense will harmonize, bringing about recovery; therefore Gui Zhi Tang is appropriate."
Line 54
"When patients whose viscera have no other disease have periodic fever and spontaneous sweating, and are failing to recover, this means defense qi is disharmonious and the promotion of sweating ahead of time will bring about recovery; therefore Gui Zhi Tang is appropriate."
