赤石脂 禹余粮（各一斤）
伤寒下之利不止，病在下焦者，此方主之。
下之利不止者，下之虚其里，邪热乘其虚，故利；虚而不能禁固，故不止；更无中焦之
证，故曰病在下焦。涩可以固脱，故用赤石脂；重可以镇固，故用禹余粮。然惟病在下焦者
可以用之。若病在中焦而误与焉！虚者则二物之寒，益坏中气；实者固而涩之，则邪无自而
泄，必增腹胀且痛矣。慎之！

伤寒发汗，若吐，若下，解后，心下痞硬，噫气不除者，此方主之。
汗、吐、下而解，则中气必虚，虚则浊气不降而上逆，故作痞硬；逆气上干于心，心不
受邪，故噫气不除，《内经·宣明五气篇》曰∶五气所病，心为噫是也。旋复之咸，能软痞
硬而下气；代赭之重，能镇心君而止噫；姜、夏之辛，所以散逆；参、草、大枣之甘，所以
补虚。或曰∶汗、吐中虚，肺金失令，肝气乘脾而作上逆，逆气于心，心病为噫。此方用代
赭石，固所以镇心，而亦所以平肝也。亦是究理之论。

In Shaoyang disease, if purgation is administered and diarrhea persists, indicating the pathology is in the Lower Jiao (Lower Burner), this formula is indicated.
Purgation damaging the interior leads to deficiency, allowing pathogenic heat to exploit this weakness, resulting in diarrhea; the deficiency fails to secure and contain, causing persistent diarrhea; the absence of Middle Jiao symptoms confirms the pathology resides in the Lower Jiao. Astringent properties can consolidate leakage, hence Chishizhi is used; heavy substances can stabilize and secure, hence Haematitum is used. However, this formula is only suitable for pathologies in the Lower Jiao. If mistakenly used for Middle Jiao pathologies: for deficient patients, the cold nature of these two herbs will further damage Middle Qi; for excess patients, astringing and consolidating will trap pathogens without an exit, inevitably increasing abdominal distension and pain. Exercise caution!

After Shaoyang disease has been treated with sweating, vomiting, or purging, and the exterior syndrome has resolved, if epigastric fullness and hardness persist along with incessant belching, this formula is indicated.
Resolution via sweating, vomiting, or purging implies that Middle Qi must be deficient. Deficiency causes turbid Qi to fail to descend and instead rebel upward, creating fullness and hardness; rebellious Qi harasses the Heart, which does not accept pathogens directly, thus belching persists. As stated in *Su Jing · Xuan Ming Wu Qi Pian* of the *Nei Jing*: "Among diseases caused by the five Qi, the Heart manifests as belching." The salty flavor of Inulae Flos softens fullness and directs Qi downward; the heaviness of Haematitum calms the Heart Spirit and stops belching; the pungency of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens and Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum disperses rebellion; the sweetness of Panacis Ginseng Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Jujubae Fructus tonifies deficiency. Some argue: Sweating and vomiting cause Middle deficiency, leading to Lung Metal losing its command, allowing Liver Qi to invade Spleen Earth, causing upward rebellion affecting the Heart, manifesting as belching. Using Haematitum in this formula not only calms the Heart but also pacifies the Liver. This is also a valid theoretical explanation.

When Taiyang exterior syndrome exists, if the physician erroneously applies purgation, resulting in persistent diarrhea while the exterior syndrome remains, accompanied by wheezing and sweating, this formula is indicated.
Treating an exterior syndrome with purgation damages the interior, allowing Yang pathogens to enter due to deficiency, resulting in diarrhea with accompanying heat; exterior symptoms such as headache, fever, and aversion to cold indicate the exterior syndrome persists; internal heat pathogens cause wheezing and sweating. Since the exterior syndrome persists, Gegen and Gancao's pungent-sweet properties are used to release the exterior; since there is internal pathogenic heat, therefore...
