Cao Ying-fu said: In this case, the Cinnamon Twig Decoction syndrome should belong to taiyin. The Cinnamon Twig Decoction is used to treat Taiyang (EX-HN5) in exterior syndromes and taiyin in interior syndromes, as Zhang Zhongjing has already listed specific articles in both chapters, so why bother to elaborate! However, using it to treat taiyang pattern is easily understood by people, but using it to treat taiyang disease that is related to taiyin (note, it should be taiyin exterior pattern), is not believed by people. With this case, it is even more evident that Zhang Zhongjing's words are not empty. Did not Master Zhong say that taiyin disease, abdominal distension and fullness with vomiting, inability to eat, and spontaneous diarrhea with abdominal pain? If taiyin disease encounters a floating and slow Taiyang (EX-HN5) pulse, it is the Cinnamon Twig Decoction syndrome.
