Jin Kui Yao Lue (Essentials from the Golden Cabinet) discusses the pulse diagnosis and treatment of malaria in the fourth section (first entry).
1. The Master said: The pulse of malaria is string-like; a rapid string pulse indicates excess heat, while a slow string pulse indicates excess cold. A small, tight string pulse suggests a deficiency that should be treated with downward methods, while a slow string pulse can be warmed. A tight string pulse may be treated with sweating techniques such as acupuncture, and a floating, large pulse can be treated with vomiting. A rapid string pulse indicates wind invasion, which can be alleviated by dietary adjustments.
