1. Wind-Heat
Clinical manifestations: Intense itching worsening at night and with heat, red papules or tiny blisters in skin folds, between fingers, wrists, skin feels hot with prominent scratch marks and blood spots, possible mild fever or chills at onset, thirst desiring cool beverages.
Tongue: Red tip and edges with thin yellow coating. Pulse: Floating and rapid.
Treatment principle: Dispel Wind and stop itching, clear Heat, drain Dampness.
Note: no moxa. This is an exterior Wind-Heat skin eruption, not a respiratory invasion — this site has no skin-specific Wind-Heat slide, so no pattern link is given here; points still link fine individually.
Clinical manifestations: Oozing, crusting lesions after scratching, heavy sluggish body sensation, sticky bitter taste, loose sticky stools, itching worse in warm humid weather.
Tongue: Red body with thick yellow greasy coating, difficult to scrape. Pulse: Soggy-rapid or slippery-rapid.
Treatment principle: Drain excess Fire from Liver and Gallbladder, clear Damp-Heat from the Lower Burner.
Note: no moxa. Linked to this site's Damp-Heat-in-the-Gall-Bladder-and-Liver slide via the bitter-taste and loose-sticky-stool markers — the deck's own presentation is rib-focused rather than skin-focused, so this is a paraphrase link flagged for that difference.
Clinical manifestations: Dry, scaly, flaking skin lesions, intense itching worsening at night, pale or sallow complexion, aversion to wind or drafts, dizziness or light-headedness, brittle nails and dry rough hair.
Tongue: Pale, thin body with thin white and slightly dry coating. Pulse: Fine, wiry at the left middle position.
Treatment principle: Nourish Blood and moisten Dryness, dispel Wind and stop itching.
Note: moxa applicable on the tonifying points. Matched to this site's own Liver-Blood-deficiency-generating-Wind slide via the dizziness/pale-complexion/dryness symptom set.
