Pathogenesis
Da Yuan Yin is indicated for latent pathogen of filthy turbidity pestilence in the membrane-source. As said in《Revised Popular Guide to Treatise on Cold Damage》: “Membrane refers to the diaphragm, while the source refers to the intervening space. Membrane-source connects the exterior interstitial space and interior stomach, is the key of sanjiao, and locates in the intersection of half-exterior half-interior”. When the pestilence invades into the membrane-source, the struggle between healthy qi and pathogenic qi may lead to aversion to cold with high fever. When epidemic toxin permeates inside, the symptoms indicating filthy turbidity such as nausea, vomiting, headache, vexation and agitation, white, thick tongue coating like accumulated powder may result. The treatment is to open and vent the membrane-source, dispel filth and remove turbidity.
