The etiology of all types of dysentery (Li) stems from a deficiency in Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi), weakness of the intestines and stomach, and the invasion of cold and hot pathogens taking advantage of this deficiency. These pathogens lodge between the intestines; when the intestines are empty/weak, diarrhea occurs, thus forming dysentery.
