Warm malaria

Also kidney channel malaria. Malaria characterized by generalized heat, with aversion to cold less pronounced than heat effusion, headache, thirst with taking of fluids, constipation and reddish urine, inhibited sweating, joint pain, red tongue with yellow fur, and a rapid stringlike pulse.

Comparison: Pure-heat malaria is essentially the same as warm malaria, but differs in degree of severity. Warm malaria is characterized by heat effusion followed by aversion to cold, with pronounced heat effusion and mild aversion to cold. Pure-heat malaria is characterized by heat effusion without aversion to cold.

Medicinal therapy: Clear heat and resolve the flesh; dispel evil and interrupt malaria. Use White Tiger Decoction Plus Cinnamon Twig (白虎加桂枝汤 bái hǔ jiā guì zhī tāng) plus sweet wormwood (Artemisiae Annuae Herba, 青蒿 qīng hāo) to dispel evil and interrupt malaria, and bupleurum (Bupleuri Radix, 柴胡 chái hú) to harmonize.

Acumoxatherapy: Base treatment mainly on GV, PC, SI, and LI.
