A couple minor points on translation, if I may. 1. 饮食/diet should also include thirst, not just appetite. 2. 服药后，吸热稀粥: "Ingestion of the medicine was followed by taking hot gruel/rice-porridge." This is such a straight forward case that I don't really have any questions or comments other than to say diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnosis. If after 20 bags of herbs the patient is still sweating, better rethink that yin-deficiency diagnosis. Hehe. :-) Hi Jason,

Nice job. A couple minor points on translation, if I may.

1. 饮食/diet should also include thirst, not just appetite.

2. 服药后，吸热稀粥: “Ingestion of the medicine was followed by taking hot gruel/rice-porridge.”

This is such a straight forward case that I don’t really have any questions or comments other than to say diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnosis. If after 20 bags of herbs the patient is still sweating, better rethink that yin-deficiency diagnosis. Hehe. :-)

Notice where it says "her diet, urination and bowel movements were normal." This is a important indicator for the use of gui zhi tang. Basically it is saying that internal organ function is relatively normal (there is no internal disharmony). Diet here also refers to appetite, digestion etc. 2. "Defensive is not safeguarding the nutritive" - This means the defensive is letting the nutritive out via sweat. Do others have other observations or disagreements? 1.
