Abstract
In these extracts from chapter six of the Shi Bing Lun (Discussion of Seasonal Diseases), Lei Shaoyi introduces the general concept of damp invasion causing illness. Then the extracts focus on a number of methods for dealing with invasive damp-warmth disease, from new and mild exposure to deep-lying pathogens. His detailed comments follow each formula. I have used Lei's methods frequently in dealing with external invasion (including dampness) and they are very effective, even though the doses seem small. This is due (I believe) to the precision in the design of each method.
