Divide hematochezia into two syndromes: Changfeng (Intestinal Wind) and Zangdu (Visceral Toxin). (Various pathogens from the Three Causes can all lead to hematochezia; these two are merely the major categories.) Changfeng refers to cases where either external wind pathogens are contracted or internal Liver Wind arises. When wind-heat combine and invade the meridians, blood vessels become obstructed, causing blood to leak out of the meridians, seep into the intestines and stomach, and exit via the stool. Symptoms appear immediately upon pathogen acquisition, and the blood is clear, thin, and bright red. This is treated with Huaihua Tang (Sophorae Flos Decoction) added with Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), and Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix). (Even if it is not external wind, these herbs can still raise Yang and dry dampness. Note that internal wind is essentially Qi dysfunction; when Qi is not smooth, herbs like Qianghuo and Fangfeng can be used to ascend and diffuse it, though they should not be taken warm to induce sweating. Therefore, ancient formulas did not distinguish between internal and external wind, using them uniformly.) Zangdu refers to cases where dampness and heat combine, accumulating over a long period, damaging the Yin collaterals, allowing blood to seep into the intestines and stomach. The blood is discharged only after accumulation, appearing dark and turbid. This is treated with Huaihua Tang (Sophorae Flos Decoction) added with Chao Kuchenshen (Fructus Toosendanii, stir-fried) and Chao Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, stir-fried). If bleeding is accompanied by abdominal pain and the blood is bright red, it is due to Heat Toxin, treated primarily with Shaoyao Huanglian Tang (Peony and Coptis Decoction). If there is no pain, and the blood is not bright, or is purple-black like bean juice, it is due to Damp Toxin, treated primarily with Huanglian Tang (Coptis Decoction). Bleeding before defecation is called Jin Xue (Near Blood), originating from the Large Intestine; use Huaihua (Sophorae Flos), Tiaohuangqin (Scutellariae Radix), and Wuyao (Linderae Radix). Defecation before bleeding is called Yuan Xue (Far Blood), originating from the Stomach and Small Intestine; use Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), and Wuyao (Linderae Radix). There is also Jieyin Hematochezia (Constrained Yin Bleeding). (The *Neijing* states that in Jieyin disease, one sheng of blood is passed, then two shengs upon recurrence, and three shengs upon a third recurrence.) The discharge consists purely of blood, and the *Jing* does not specify which pathogen is constrained. Zhang Jingyue attributed it to Cold and Wind pathogens lingering and constraining the Blood level. It is suitable to moxa Zhongwan (CV12), Qihai (CV6), and Zusanli (ST36) to disperse wind pathogens, and take Pingwei Diyutang (Stomach-Pacifying Cudrania Bark Decoction) to warm and disperse. This is also an illustrative argument. For severe hemorrhage, use Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Muli (Ostreae Concha), and Sukesh (Papaveris Pericarpium). Stasis blood cannot be forcibly stopped; wait until the blood color becomes bright red, then slightly add astringent herbs such as Chunpi (Toosendan Cortex) and Wumei (Mume Fructus), which are best. Cold-natured herbs must be decocted with wine or stir-fried to prevent blood coagulation. For chronic hematochezia unresponsive to cold-natured herbs, use ascending and tonifying methods, specifically Shengyang Chushi Hehe Tang (Yang-Raising, Damp-Removing, and Blood-Harmonizing Decoction). If there is heat, add a small amount of Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), stir-fried with water infused from Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus). For deficiency, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma). Consuming dried persimmons or fresh persimmons is most effective for this condition. Changfeng, Zangdu, and Jieyin all involve blood exiting from the intestines, which differs from the blood leaking from the anal aperture in the Five Hemorrhoids (Wu Zhi), and also differs from Chi Li (Dysentery with Blood).
