Etiologically, Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome) is characterized mostly by vomiting and diarrhea. Gan Huoluan (dry cholera) occurs when cold qi clashes with the stomach, leading to indigestion of food and drink. The patient experiences only abdominal distension, mental restlessness, severe colicky pain, and shortness of breath. Because the intestines and stomach are initially filled with excess pathogens, vomiting and diarrhea do not occur; hence it is named Gan Huoluan (dry cholera). (From Volume 22)
For emergency treatment of Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome), regardless of whether it is dry or wet, or cold or hot types, use the Muxiang Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aquilaria Decoction).
Qingmuxiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum, length three cun) Gaoliangjiang (Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma, two liang) Doukouzi (Cardamomi Fructus, two pieces)
The above three herbs are chopped, boiled in one sheng of water until reduced to half a sheng, and taken in one dose to settle the symptoms.
Another prescription:
Take two liang of black cow dung, boil in two sheng of water, strain, and take in one dose. It is highly effective.
Another recipe for Shengjiang Tang (Fresh Ginger Decoction):
Take a handful of soil from the east wall, and one da liang of fresh ginger, crushed.
The above two ingredients are boiled in one sheng of water until reduced to half a sheng. After clarifying, drink it while hot. If thirsty, continue according to the previous method. (All from Volume 1)
Bixiao Fang (Effective Prescription) treats upper vomiting and lower diarrhea, named Shi Huoluan (wet cholera) formula.
Take approximately half a da sheng of yellow cow dung, add one sheng of water, boil for three boils, mix with the dung juice, filter, and take half a sheng to stop the symptoms. Dung from plowing oxen is also good. In areas without cattle, keeping dried dung on hand is also very useful. (Same as Beiji Fang, Cui Shi Fang, Fan Wang Fang, from Volume 3)
Another is Sishen Wan (Four Divine Pills), which mainly treats persistent cold excess in Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome) and various diseases caused by phlegm-fluid retention, acting universally.
Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, one liang) Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex, one liang) Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, one liang, processed) Badou (Crotonis Fructus, sixty seeds, processed)
The above four herbs are powdered, mixed with honey to form pills the size of small beans. Take two pills with warm water to induce rapid purgation; if ineffective, take one more pill. Avoid raw green onions, wild pork, and Asparagus Fern Sprouts. (Same as Hu Qia Fang, from Volume 4)
Etiologically, Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome) accompanied by heart and abdominal pain is caused by wind-pathogenic qi lodging between the zang-fu organs. Cold qi clashes with true qi, attacking either upwards to the heart or downwards to the abdomen, resulting in heart and abdominal pain. (From Volume 22)
Guangji Fang treats Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome) with heart and abdominal pain, incessant irritability and vomiting, using Nongmu Renshen Tang (Magnolia Bark and Ginseng Decoction).
Nongmu (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, four liang, stir-baked) Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, two liang) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, two liang) Gaoliangjiang (Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma, one liang) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, one liang) Huoxiang (Pogostemonis Herba, one liang)
The above six herbs are boiled in seven sheng of water until reduced to two sheng and five he. Strain the dregs, and divide into three warm doses. The interval between doses should be equivalent to the time it takes a person to walk six or seven li. Avoid cold, raw, and sticky/greasy foods. (From Volume 4)
Zhouhou Beiji Fang (Essential Prescriptions Kept Up My Sleeve) for relieving unbearable colicky pain in Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome).
Jiang (Fresh Ginger, two lei) Chi (Fermented Soybean, two sheng) Mash them together, divide into two portions, rub each portion by hand until powdery, heat alternately, and apply as a compress to the umbilicus until cured. (All from Volume 1)
Qianjin Fang (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) for Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome), gu poison, retained food causing heart and abdominal pain, as well as cold qi and ghost qi.
Use three sheng of extremely salty salt water as a single ingredient. For sudden severe heart and abdominal pain due to Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome), indigestion of retained food, and accumulation of cold causing irritability and fullness, drink one sheng hot. Stimulate the throat with fingers to induce vomiting of retained food until empty. If not empty, induce vomiting again. After vomiting, drink again. After three cycles of vomiting, rest and remain still. This method surpasses many other medicines. Common people consider it a rustic and shallow method and disdain its use, preferring to die rather than try it. However, whenever this disease occurs, this method must be used first. (Same as Beiji Fang, Cui Shi Fang, Jiyan Fang, Wen Zhong Fang, from Volume 20)
