In the Golden Cabinet (《金匮要略》) tradition, lily bulb disease (百合病) is a disease/condition described in the Essential Prescriptions (金匮要略, ch.3) — characterized by listlessness, inability to eat, sleep, or move normally, indeterminacy between hot and cold sensations, bitter taste, reddish urine, and a faint rapid pulse. A historical disease-category for reference, not a diagnostic or treatment guide.

百合病者，百脈一宗，悉致其病也。意欲食，復不能食，常默默，欲臥不能臥，欲行不能行；如寒無寒，如熱無熱；口苦，小便赤；其脈微數。
