[General Verse]
The Bladder, the Uterus (Bao Gong), and the Liver Meridian are layers that contemporary physicians still understand. However, regarding Zha Qi (abdominal masses caused by qi stagnation) and Han Shan (cold hernia characterized by abdominal pain), few people have historically grasped this meaning.
Fullness and pain in the lower abdomen due to difficulty in urination is caused by the condensation of water in the Bladder. Jia Wei Wu Ling San (Modified Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is indicated.

Song says: When there is pain in the lower abdomen and urine output is exhausted, Zhu Ling and Fu Ling attack the water condensation in the Bladder.
Bai Zhu harmonizes with Gui Zhi and Ze Xie to guide Heart Yang, while Bai Shao and Xing Ren facilitate communication with the Liver and Lungs.
Fullness and pain in the lower abdomen where urination remains normal is caused by blood stasis condensing in the the Uterus (Bao Gong). Jia Jian Tao Ren Tang (Modified Peach Kernel Decoction) is indicated (add Da Huang for severe cases).

Two types of Shao, Mu Xiang, and Xiang Fu Zi; Chuan Xiong and Huang Qin may be used together with Da Huang.
Cramping pain in the lower abdomen, unbearable as it wraps around the umbilicus up and down, is Han Shan of the Lower Jiao. Wu Tou Yang Rou Tang (Aconite and Mutton Decoction) is indicated.
Dang Gui (3 qian) Sheng Jiang (3 qian) Yang Rou (4 liang) Wu Tou (2 qian, processed)
Song says: Periumbilical pain stems from Cold in the Lower Jiao; Yang Rou, Wu Tou, and Sheng Jiang are consumed together.
Dang Gui is suitably combined; know that these four herbs collectively warm the Liver.
(Ber An's Note: For abdominal pain caused by cold invasion, stir-fry Yan Yan (salt) and Chuan Jiao until hot, then apply as a compress around the navel.)
Pain on both sides of the lower abdomen, along with pain in the hypochondrium, indicates disharmony of blood in the Jueyin Meridian. Dang Gui Si Ni Tang (Angelica Sinensis Four Reversal Decoction) is indicated.

Lower abdominal pain that feels relieved after passing gas and hearing borborygmus indicates disharmony of Xiao Chang Qi (Small Intestine Qi). Pu Ming Ju He Wan (Pu Ming Tangerine Seed Pill) is indicated.
Zha He (2 qian) Li Zhi (3 qian) Wu Yu (1 qian) Ju He (3 qian) Xiang Fu (3 qian) Xiao Hui (1 qian) Lian Zi (3 qian)
