A woman had been ill for a month, with both pulses being weak and floating, experiencing spontaneous sweating and aversion to wind. This indicates a deficiency of Weiqi and weakness of Yang. The surface of the human body is governed by Weiqi, which is responsible for warming the muscles, enriching the skin and interstices, and controlling the opening and closing of pores. As stated in the "Classic," Yang protects the exterior and secures it. Now that Weiqi is deficient, the muscles are not warmed, the striae and interstices are not dense, and the pores all over the body are open without closing. As a result, wind enters from the outside, and sweat exits from the inside. Who can resist this? Use Astragalus Center-Fortifying Decoction to establish middle qi and warm Weiqi to strengthen the exterior.

After one day, the patient crossed her hands over her chest, and her pulse was particularly weak and hesitant. This is due to excessive sweating that has injured the heart yang. Zhongjing said, "When sweating is excessive, and the patient crosses her hands over her chest with palpitations, Cinnamon Twig and Liquorice Decoction is indicated."
