A scholar from Zhending Prefecture, aged thirty-one, had a constitution that was inherently weak. There was an accumulation of Qi in his left hypochondrium; he dared not consume cold foods, and pain would occur upon exposure to cold. Occasionally, he vomited clear fluids, suffered from vertigo as if fainting, could not open his eyes, and disliked noisy and busy environments. After resting quietly for one or two days and taking acrid-warm medicines, the condition would subside. This persisted until early autumn of the Jiaxu year. Due to overexertion and consumption of cold foods, his illness flared up severely. He experienced unceasing abdominal pain, spontaneous cold sweating, cold limbs, cold breath from mouth and nose, a sallow and dull complexion, complete inability to lie down (preferring to sit leaning on a table), accompanied by cough and pharyngeal obstruction. Thus, the *Neijing* states: "When cold pathogenic factors invade the membrane sources between the small intestine and the collateral blood vessels, blood stasis prevents flow into the main meridians. When Qi and blood stagnate and cannot circulate, accumulations form over time." It also states: "When cold pathogenic factors invade the stomach and intestines, causing rebellious Qi to rush upward, pain and vomiting occur." For pains caused by internal cold, relief is immediate upon warming. I prescribed medicine for him, but he could not retain it, vomiting upon seeing the medicine. With no other effective treatment available, I used approximately half a jin of prepared mugwort (*Ai Ye*). A sheet of white paper was placed on his abdomen, with the mugwort spread evenly upon it. Several stalks of green onion were split in half and layered several times over the mugwort, then covered with another sheet of white paper. Using a slow-fire iron, the area was moxibustion-ironed. When cool, it was replaced. If abdominal heat became intolerable, three layers of cotton cloth were bound tightly around the area with multiple strips and only removed when cooled. Initially, warmth reduced the pain; intense heat stopped the pain. He slept through the night. The following day, symptomatic medicine was administered, resulting in a good recovery. This ironing method is recorded to alleviate future suffering.
The *Baiwen Luoren Shu* asks: What is the condition characterized by vomiting and diarrhea? This is named Huoluan (Cholera-like syndrome). For vomiting and diarrhea with predominant heat and thirst, Wuling San is indicated. For predominant cold without desire to drink, Lizhong Wan is indicated. In cases of summerheat-induced Huoluan during summer, presenting with upper vomiting and lower diarrhea, cramping abdominal pain, extreme thirst and irritability, cold limbs, cold sweating, and calf cramps, Xiangru San should be administered. The decoction should be chilled in well water and taken in one dose for efficacy.
[Xiangru San] Treats disharmony of Yin and Yang, interference between clear and turbid Qi, and Qi attacking the Middle Jiao, termed Huoluan. These conditions arise from dietary irregularities or wind-cold damaging the Spleen and Stomach, leading to food retention and failure to digest. The Qi of Yin and Yang becomes obstructed and fails to ascend/descend properly. Yang Qi desires to descend, while Yin Qi desires to ascend; their intermingling results in vomiting and diarrhea, chaos in the hundred vessels, and deficiency of Ying and Wei. Cold Qi clashing with sinews causes cramping. All such cases are suitable for this formula.
Magnolia Bark (*Houpo*, 2 liang) Coptis Rhizome (*Huanglian*, 2 liang; stir-fried with 4 liang fresh ginger until yellow) Mosla Herb (*Xiangru*, 1.5 liang).
Grind the above three herbs into powder. Take 3 qian per dose, decoct with one cup of water and half a cup of wine until reduced to 0.7 parts. Strain. Soak the decoction in newly drawn cold water frequently until extremely cold. Take in one dose. Cold medication yields faster effects.
[Zengsun Suopi Yin] Relieves heat and restlessness, eliminates thirst, clears summerheat toxicity, and stops vomiting and diarrhea. Particularly suitable for patients who have taken excessive warm/hot medicines after Huoluan.
Tsaoko Cardamom Fruit (*Caoguo*) Dark Plum (*Wumei*) Amomum Fruit (*Suosha*) Licorice Root (*Gancao*) (each 4 liang)
Kudzu Root (*Gange*, 2 liang).
Cut the herbs into pieces. Take 5 qian per dose, decoct with one bowl of water and ten slices of fresh ginger until reduced to 0.8 parts. Soak in water until extremely cold. Take slowly at any time. Elder Jiegu stated: Huoluan with cramping and unceasing vomiting/diarrhea indicates pathology in the Middle Jiao. Yin and Yang clash and lack harmony, causing pain. This condition is most urgent; absolutely no porridge or drinks should be consumed, as grain Qi entering the stomach can be fatal. Treatment has two approaches: For those thirsty and desiring water, Yang Qi is predominant; Wuling San governs. For those not desiring water, Yin Qi is predominant; Lizhong Wan governs. Only after vomiting and purging cease completely should one gradually nourish with light porridge drinks; slow administration is optimal.
[Banxia Tang] Treats Huoluan with cramping and unceasing vomiting and diarrhea.
Poria (*Fuling*) Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (*Baizhu*) Prepared Pinellia Paste (*Banxia Qu*) (each 10 liang) Licorice Root (*Gancao*, 2.5 qian)
Cinnamon Twig (*Guizhi*), mild flavor (1.5 qian).
Grind into powder. For those with thirst, take with cool water; for those without thirst, take with warm water, 3 qian per dose, at any time.
