The *Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases) discusses Shuigu Dysentery (Water and Grain Dysentery), stating that it arises from a weak constitution with open Cou Li (skin texture and pores), deficiency of Blood and Qi, contracting Wind pathogen in spring. The pathogenic factor lingers between the muscles. Subsequently, encountering deficiency in the Spleen, Stomach, and Large Intestine organs, the pathogen enters these areas.
Guangji Fang (Broad Aid Formula) for treating various types of dysentery including red-and-white, water-and-grain, cold, and hot patterns:
Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix, 6 fen) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 5 fen) Chi Shi Zhi (Halloysit Rubrum, 7 fen, ground) Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 6 fen, processed with heat) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 6 fen) Shu Ai Ye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium, cooked, 4 fen) Long Gu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi et Scapulae, 7 fen) Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 4 fen, processed with heat) Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 10 fen) Wu Mei (Mume Fructus, 6 fen, boiled) Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 6 fen) Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 5 fen).
Crush and sieve the above twelve herbs into powder. Mix with honey to form pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 20 pills with rice water decoction three times daily, increasing up to 30 pills. (From Volume IV)
