沈(右) 痛泄者久。今年风木在泉,秋冬以来,正当旺气在木,痛痢日剧。自夏徂冬,泄痢辄带鲜血,五日
来腹痛尤甚,痛起之时,竟有不能支撑之势。饮食入胃,上则痞阻,下则欲泄,心中怔悸,有难以名言之
苦,其尤甚之时,似觉心神蒙混,耳鸣头晕。其痛于少腹为重。脉细而两关俱弦。按少腹两旁属肝,居中
为冲脉。今冲气不和,肝木偏亢,其横暴之气,郁怒冲突于中,所以一痛而其重若此也。夫抑而下者为
气,升而上者为阳,阳气鼓荡,则心神为之摇撼,所以有懊 莫名之状也。惟于夏秋之间,便中带血,此
必有湿热参杂其间。此时痛势剧盛若是,惟有伐肝和营,或足以制其暴戾之性。向有喉证,药难飞渡。
仿徐氏上下分治之法,汤丸并进,冀其不致痛极发厥为幸。

Shen (Right) Abdominal pain and diarrhea have persisted for a long time. This year, the Wind-Jueyin Wood Qi is in the lower position; since autumn and winter, it has been the peak season for Wood Qi, causing abdominal pain and dysentery to worsen daily. From summer to winter, diarrhea and dysentery have frequently contained fresh blood. For the past five days, abdominal pain has become particularly severe, so much so that during attacks, one feels unable to support their body. After food enters the stomach, it causes upper epigastric fullness and blockage, while simultaneously triggering the urge to defecate. There is palpitations and anxiety in the heart, with an indescribable suffering. At its worst, there is a sensation of mental confusion, tinnitus, and dizziness. The pain is most severe in the lower abdomen. The pulse is fine and both Guan positions are wiry. Palpation reveals that the sides of the lower abdomen belong to the Liver channel, while the center belongs to the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). Currently, the Qi of the Chong Mai is disharmonious, and Liver Wood is hyperactive. Its violent Qi, constrained by depression and anger, conflicts in the Middle Jiao, which is why the pain is so intense when it occurs. Generally, Qi that presses downward is Yin/Qi, while Yang that rises upward is Yang. When Yang Qi surges and agitates, it shakes the Heart Spirit, leading to the state of indescribable vexation. However, the presence of blood in the stool during summer and autumn indicates that damp-heat must be mixed within. Given the current severity of the pain, only by subduing the Liver and harmonizing the Ying (Nutritive) level can we hope to restrain its violent nature. The patient has a history of throat disorders, making it difficult for medicinal properties to reach the disease site effectively. Following Xu’s method of treating the upper and lower separately, decoctions and pills will be administered together, hoping to prevent syncope due to extreme pain.

Second visit: Yesterday, warming the Zang organs and clearing the Fu organs, subduing the Liver and harmonizing the Ying level was attempted. From night until noon, the pain became slightly more peaceful but did not fully settle. When the pain is severe, pressing with the hand alleviates it slightly, indicating clearly that this does not belong to the category of excess pain. Bowel movements occur spontaneously but still contain blood. There is a burning sensation in the heart, accompanied by times of indescribable discomfort, and an inability to eat mixed foods. The pulse shows wiry qualities at both Guan positions; the Left Cun is deficient and faint, while the Chi position is fine and choppy. The tongue coating is white, floating, and rough. This is largely because excessive blood loss has deprived Liver Wood of nourishment, causing the deficient Liver to act recklessly. It suppresses Spleen Earth from below and shakes the House of the Spirit from above. The pillar in the middle stream gradually fails, allowing Wood to invade Earth's position. Over time, without recovery, this prolongs into a consumptive disease. We again propose softening the Liver's substance while harmonizing the Stomach.

Third visit: After administering variations of E Jiao Mei Lian Tang, the pain intensity decreased, defecation became smoother, and the frequency of toileting reduced. Although the tongue coating remains thick and dense, the roughness on the coating has completely transformed. The pulse has slowed, and fever has subsided. This confirms Spleen Yin deficiency and the rampant nature of Liver Wood. Since the medication is effective, we will expand upon it.

Fourth visit: After taking the medicine, diarrhea reduced to twice, but within two days, the frequency returned to five or seven times, with color remaining purple-red. This is because damp-heat pathogens linger in the convoluted parts of the Intestines and cannot be cleared, while Spleen Yin has already been secretly damaged. Fortunately, the rampant Liver Wood has gradually calmed, and severe pain has mostly settled. However, whenever there is heart pain, fresh red blood follows immediately. Both Heart and Spleen are deficient, causing Ying fluid to seep out. We will further incorporate tonification of Heart and Spleen.

Fifth visit: Continuously tonifying Spleen Yin and softening Liver Wood, the dysentery stopped abruptly, pain disappeared, and the stomach appetite gradually opened. The lingering illness was eliminated within ten days, exceeding expectations, which is commendable. However, the tongue coating has not transformed, and there is still a sense of irritability and heat in the heart. The pulse is fine, wiry, and slightly rapid. This indicates that damp-heat has not yet cleared. We will continue to nourish Yin while clearing damp-heat.

Second visit: Attempting to raise and vent pathogens sinking inward, abdominal pain and dysentery persist. There is internal binding and tenesmus. The stool is white like jelly, occasionally mixed with red turbidity. There is tenderness under the navel, refusal to eat, lack of hunger, and fever subsides but discomfort remains. The pulse is slippery and rapid; the tongue is red with a white coating. Food stagnation obstructs Qi flow, causing Wind pathogen and damp-heat to sink downward, transforming into dysentery. Having suffered illness twice, how can one endure such setbacks? We again propose a bitter-pungent unblocking method.

Third visit: Unblocking Fu Qi and clearing damp-heat resulted in the passage of fragmented, loose stools. The有形 (solid) accumulation has been resolved, so pain should stop and dysentery decrease. Yet, as dysentery slightly decreases and becomes looser, lower abdominal pain increases relentlessly. The color changes from white to red, with sticky blood, bright purple mixed, emerging. Fire rises, cheeks redden, lips are vermilion, spirit is listless, and no food is eaten. The pulse changes from slippery-rapid to fine-weak; the tongue is red with yellow coating, and fluids are depleted near the root. Although solid accumulation is resolved, wind-damp-heat has moved from Qi level to Blood level, depleting blood. Liver Wood loses soft nourishment, causing deficient Liver to act recklessly, hence lower abdominal pain is worse. The lower abdomen center belongs to Chong Mai, sides to Liver. We propose sour-sweet softening and nourishing Blood.

Fourth visit: Sour-sweet softening and nourishing Blood slightly eased pain, but diarrhea persists. Every time entering the Yin phase, tenesmus and Qi sinking occur, with frequent unsatisfactory dysentery. The depletion of Ying fluid is evident. However, refusal to eat and lack of hunger, along with dark black sauce-like matter mixed with red accumulation, indicate that while Ying fluid is deficient, damp-heat stagnates in the intestines and stomach, preventing free flow. We will combine the previous method with bitter-pungent unblocking, hoping for damp-heat transformation and intestinal opening.

Fifth visit: Unblocking intestinal stagnation reduced dysentery frequency slightly, and red turbidity faded somewhat. But upon toileting, abdominal pain and tenesmus persist, along with anorexia. The pulse is rapid but not smooth; tongue is red with yellow coating; lips and mouth are ulcerated. Damp-heat stagnates in intestines and stomach; stomach turbidity steams upward, causing aversion to food. Convoluted parts of intestines are blocked by damp-heat, preventing Fu Qi circulation, causing tenesmus. We again use bitter-pungent unblocking to open intestinal stagnation.

Sixth visit: Unblocking intestines and stomach allowed some opening of chest closure and turbidity; appetite gradually returns, and dysentery decreases. However, abdominal pain and tenesmus persist, with red color resembling paste. Pulse is fine and rapid. Jueyin latent heat invades Spleen, blocking Qi mechanism in intestines and stomach. We again propose bitter-pungent unblocking and draining Jueyin latent heat. Gradual improvement is the favorable sign.

Seventh visit: Red accumulation greatly reduced, pain and tenesmus slightly relieved. Most discharged material is yellow, turbid, and frothy. Froth relates to Qi, yellow relates to dampness. Damp-heat is still stagnant, wanting to open but failing, steaming in the Stomach. Fever, cheek redness, and turbid urine. Pulse is rapid; tongue is red with yellow coating. Draining damp-heat and unblocking intestinal stagnation is the current fixed strategy.

Eighth visit: Red accumulation gradually recedes, abdominal pain lightens, dysentery frequency slightly reduces, tenesmus relaxes, stomach energy awakens, craving food increases, and cyanosis at Shan Gen fades. All signs of improvement. However, despite lighter dysentery, fever recurs, preventing deep sleep all day and night. Pulse is rapid, right side large; tongue is red with yellow coating. Post-rash lower abdominal discomfort and cyanosis at Shan Gen, combined with dietary indiscretion, led to dysentery. Jueyin must have latent heat; upper/middle jiao damp-heat sank due to internal deficiency. Now intestinal stagnation slightly opens, but damp-heat fills the Triple Burner, causing steaming fever. We follow the treatment for dysentery with accompanying heat.

Ninth visit: Pathogens sinking from upper/middle to lower are guided back up. Without inducing sweating, heat significantly subsides, dysentery greatly reduces, tenesmus relaxes, abdominal pain stops, and appetite increases. This is a turning point. Adhering to the effective formula, we hope for continued success.

Zuo Defecation has stopped, but anus feels heavy and pressing uncomfortably. Taking rising-tonifying herbs did not relieve heaviness; pulse is soggy and slippery. This is damp-heat stagnation causing Fu Qi to sink. Bitter-draining method is suitable.

Zhao (Left) Lower abdominal Qi sinking and tenesmus slightly relaxed; Right pulse intermitting is more harmonious. Color still carries red turbidity. Indeed, damp-heat pathogen is still abundant. Although signs of turning appear, they are not reliable.

Xi (Left) Unblocking and tonifying combined. Dysentery over a hundred times gradually reduced to twenty-plus movements. Tenderness under umbilicus is fully resolved, showing improvement. However, Qi is timid, speech is reluctant, frequent hiccups and nausea, inability to eat. Pulse is fine and spiritless, resembling Sparrow-pecking pulse. Food stagnation has passed, but Summer-Heat-Damp fills the Triple Burner, suppressing Stomach Qi and stagnating Spleen Qi. Compared to yesterday, there is improvement, but deficiency of Zheng and excess of disease remain detrimental overall.

This case, despite reduction in pain and dysentery towards the end, ultimately failed to recover due to deficiency of Zheng. (Qing Ru Annotation)
Qiu (Left) Previously had hemorrhoid prolapse and tenesmus; now suffers from unsatisfactory dysentery. Summer-Heat-Damp stagnates in intestines, forming stagnation dysentery. Purple-red discoloration suggests complexity, not comparable to ordinary cases.

Mou Dysentery is not severe, but anus feels hot. Discharged matter is extremely foul-smelling, covered with white putrefaction, now turning deep yellow. This is damp-heat transforming into dryness, Yin fluids exhausted. Like adding firewood to a cart or a cup of water to a bonfire, it is impossible to contend with Nature.
