Treats heat-dysentery with bloody stools, persisting for months without healing.
*Pulsatillae Radix* (Baitouweng, 2 liang) *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian) *Phellodendri Cortex* (Huangbai pi) *Evodiae Fructus* (Qinpi) (each 3 liang)
The above herbs are cut into pieces. For each dose, take 4 qian. Add 1.5 zhan of water, decoct until reduced to 0.7 zhan, strain the dregs, and take warm at any time.
Treats wind-stroke contracted in spring leading to undigested food diarrhea in summer. It is highly effective for headache, stiffness and tension in the neck and back, and clear nasal discharge caused by wind-cold invasion.
*Atractylodis Rhizoma* (Cangzhu, 1 jin) *Ligustici Rhizoma et Radix* (Gben) *Chuanxiong Rhizoma* (Chuanxiong) (each 6 liang) *Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix* (Qianghuo, 4 liang) *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle* (Fencao, 2 liang 6 qian) *Asari Radix et Rhizoma* (Xixin, 1 liang 6 qian)
The above herbs are made into a coarse powder. For each dose, take 3 qian. Add 1 zhan of water and 3 slices of fresh ginger, decoct until reduced to 0.7 zhan. If sweating is desired, add scallion white, strain the dregs, and take slightly warm at any time.
For treating red and white dysentery, use Liushen Wan.
*Massa Medicata Fermentata* (Shenqu, grind separately into fine powder, reserve some as paste binder) *Hordei Fructus Germinatus* (Maiya) *Poria* (Fuling) *Aurantii Fructus Immaturus* (Zhike) *Aucklandiae Radix* (Muxiang, roasted; double dosage for white dysentery) *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian) (the six ingredients are in equal proportions; double Huanglian for red dysentery)
Grind the above herbs into powder. Use the Shenqu powder mixed with water to make a paste as a binder, form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 50 pills per dose. For red dysentery, swallow with Licorice Decoction; for white dysentery, swallow with Dried Ginger Decoction; for red and white dysentery, swallow with Dried Ginger and Licorice Decoction. (This prescription was obtained from Dongshan. Rao Dianjiang stated that it was passed down by imperial physicians in the capital. Upon careful examination of this formula, I find that Huanglian can resolve summer-heat toxicity, clear the internal organs, and thicken the intestines and stomach; Muxiang can warm the spleen and stomach, expel pathogenic factors, and stop dysentery; Zhike can expand the gastrointestinal tract; Fuling can promote urination; Shenqu and Maiya can resolve stagnation. These are truly essential medicines for treating dysentery.)
Treats cases where, after four or five days of Cold Damage, severe purging has been performed, causing intermittent heat-dysentery, and formulas such as Baitong Tang have mostly failed to stop it. This decoction should be taken to clear heat and stop dysentery. Some people also process this into pills, swallowing 40 pills with hot water to treat epidemic toxic dysentery, with excellent results.
*Scutellariae Radix* (Huangqin) *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian) *Phellodendri Cortex* (Huangbai) (each 2 fen) *Artemisiae Argyi Folium Preparatum* (Shuai Ai, half a unit, size of a chicken egg)
The above herbs are cut into pieces. For each dose, take 3 qian by weight. Add 1 zhan of water, decoct until reduced to 0.7 zhan, strain the dregs, and take warm at any time.
