To treat abdominal pain, borborygmus (intestinal rumbling), and indigestion of rice and grains caused by consuming various cold foods, cold water, and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt.
Huang La (Beeswax) (2 liang) | Ba Dou (Croton Seed) | Xing Ren (Apricot Seed) | Bai Cao Shuang (Soot from Chimney) | Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) (each 5 qian above) | Ding Xiang (Clove) | Mu Xiang (Costus Root) (each 2 qian above).
First, boil Huang La in good vinegar to remove dregs and impurities. Stir-fry Ba Dou and Xing Ren together until black and smokeless, then grind into a paste. Reheat Huang La over fire, add half a liang of light oil, melt it, and pour it into the Xing Ren and Ba Dou paste. Stir thoroughly, then gradually add the powders of Ding Xiang, Mu Xiang, etc., and grind evenly. Roll into pills or sticks, wrap in oiled paper, and use freshly prepared. Take 30–50 pills each time, washed down with warm rice drink, before meals. Administer three times daily.
If the pulse is slow, the body feels heavy, and there is spontaneous diarrhea, this indicates an excess of dampness. Combine Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) and Ping Wei San (Powder to Maintain the Stomach) with stir-fried Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven) and administer. This formula is named Dui Jin Yin Zi (Golden Pairing Drink).
To treat epigastric pain caused by excessive intake of cold-natured medicines or by spleen and stomach deficiency.
Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel) | Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) (each 7 qian) | Yi Zhi Ren (Alpinia Oxyphylla Fruit) (6 qian) | Bai Dou Kou Ren (Cardamom Seed) | Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) | Gan Sheng Jiang (Dried Fresh Ginger) | Jiang Huang (Turmeric Rhizome) (each 3 qian above) | Suo Sha Ren (Amomum Fruit) | Gan Cao (Licorice Root) | Nong Po (Magnolia Bark) | Ren Shen (Ginseng Root) (each 2 qian above).
Grind all ingredients into a coarse powder. Take 3 qian each time, add one cup of water, decoct until reduced to 70%, and take warm before meals.
If the pulse is wiry, accompanied by aversion to cold and abdominal pain, this indicates weakness of middle qi. Selectively use Zhang Zhongjing’s Xiao Jian Zhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) added with Huang Qi, or Qian Yi’s Yi Gong San (Extraordinary Merit Powder) added with Shao Yao (Peony Root).
If thirst is severe, use Bai Zhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) added with Ge Gen (Kudzu Root) in double dosage.
The *Bi Lun* (Treatise on Bi Syndrome) states: "Yin qi, when quiet, stores the spirit; when agitated, it dissipates. If food and drink are doubled, the intestines and stomach are injured." This is a general statement. Dividing it into two categories: drinks and food. Another classic states: "Excessive drinking leads to rebellious qi. Overeating causes sinews and vessels to relax transversely, leading to hemorrhoids." Drinks are formless qi; injuring them requires inducing sweating and promoting urination to disperse dampness from above and below. Formulas such as Jie Cheng Tang (Hangover Resolving Decoction) and Wu Ling San are primarily used. Food consists of tangible matter; injuring it requires reducing grain intake. Next best is digestion promotion, using formulas like Ding Xiang Lan Fan Wan (Clove Rotting Rice Pill) and Zhi Zhu Wan (Aurantium and Atractylodes Pill). For slightly more severe cases, attack and resolve accumulation using San Leng Xiao Ji Pill (Curcuma Zedoaria Accumulation-Resolving Pill) or Mu Xiang Jian Chou Pill (Costus Root Sorrow-Seeing Pill). For particularly severe cases, induce vomiting or purgation using Gua Di San (Melon Peduncle Powder) or Bei Ji Pill (Emergency Preparedness Pill). The goal is to restore balance. Since the spleen is already injured, further injury by medicine will deplete the transporting and transforming qi, making food even harder to digest. Therefore, the *Wu Chang Zheng Da Lun* (Great Treatise on the Five Regular Administrations) states: "For drugs with great toxicity, cure six-tenths of the disease; for common toxicity, seven-tenths; for slight toxicity, eight-tenths; for non-toxic drugs, nine-tenths. Use grains, meats, fruits, and vegetables to complete the nourishment. Do not exceed these limits, lest you injure healthy qi. If the disease is not fully resolved, repeat the method according to rules." The sages established this as a strict warning, bringing blessings for ten thousand generations. If one can guard speech and regulate diet, this is called preventive treatment of disease (Zhi Wei Bing).
