Second, explaining the signs of afflictions arising from the five viscera: for afflictions arising from the heart, the body mostly suffers alternations of cold and heat, dryness of the mouth, and so forth, because the heart governs the mouth; for afflictions arising from the lungs, the body is mostly swollen and full, the four limbs are agitated and aching, with oppression, nasal congestion, and so forth, because the lungs govern the nose; for afflictions arising from the liver, there is mostly a tendency toward grief, melancholy, and displeasure, sorrowful brooding and anger, headache, eye pain and dimness, and so forth, because the liver governs the eyes; for afflictions arising from the spleen, wandering wind moves across the body and face, the whole body feels prickly, itchy, oppressed, and painful, with loss of taste in food and drink, because the spleen governs the tongue; for afflictions arising from the kidneys, the throat is choked and blocked, the abdomen is distended, and the ears feel stopped up, because the kidneys govern the ears. Afflictions generated from the five viscera are manifold, each having its own signs, which can be known by observing them during sitting and in dreams. Their signs are manifold (and so forth) and cannot be recorded in full.
