Smooth Qi and Harmonize the Middle for Red and White Dysentery;
Smoothing Qi will naturally stop abdominal pain, and harmonizing the Middle Jiao (Spleen and Stomach) will naturally eliminate tenesmus. Pure red stools indicate accumulation of heat and toxic pathogens; Daoshi Tang (Drain Stasis Decoction) is appropriate. Mixed red and white stools with disharmony of cold and heat, abdominal pain with tenesmus, weak and slippery intestines and stomach, reduced appetite, fatigue, and lassitude call for Xiao Chuche Wan (Minor Stop-Discharge Pill): Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) 6 liang, Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) 1 liang, Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) 2 liang, Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini) 3 liang, ground into fine powder, formed into pills with vinegar paste, size of millet seeds.
