The changes of disease and evil are most complicated by "dampness and temperature". Dampness is yin evil, heat is yang evil, dampness and heat are combined, and it is difficult to solve quickly. Therefore, Ye Tianshiyun: "It is easy to save yin from fever, and it is the most difficult to save yang, and it is not in blood to save yin, but in jin and sweat, and yang is not in temperature, but in urinating." It is pointed out that the treatment of dampness and temperature is focused on dispelling dampness.
Clinically, the damp evil is dispelled first, the heat evil is easy to clear, and the disease can be fast, but in fact, it is to get rid of its blindness, and the heat evil has a way to reach out, which is the yang energy to get through.
