[ Ganjiang Wan (Dried Ginger Pill) ]
Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum), Badou (Crotonis Fructus, heart removed, stir-fried until yellow, ground), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, wrapped in wet paper, steamed), Renshen (Panacis Ginseng Radix, each 1 qian, radix neck removed).
Except for Badou, the remaining herbs are ground into fine powder and mixed with Badou. Honey is refined to form pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. When taking decoction medicine beforehand, swallow one pill with the decoction; rice water may also be used.
A person suffered internal injury due to worry and sorrow, causing food accumulation in the intestines and stomach, leading to vomiting and diarrhea. This persisted from autumn through the summer months; slight dietary indiscretion would trigger an episode, resulting in violent diarrhea lasting several days without cessation.
The *Yujian Jing* states: Diarrhea that recurs unpredictably after a year, month, or day indicates the presence of accumulation, which should be treated with purgation. Using Wenyi Tang (Warm the Spleen Decoction) alone is particularly effective. If difficult to obtain, it can be supplemented with Ganjiang Wan, followed by Baizhu San.
[ Baizhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) ]
Baizhu (Atractodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, skin and navel removed), Renshen (Panacis Ginseng Radix, radix neck removed, all in equal proportions).
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose with one cup of water, three slices of fresh ginger, and one jujube. Decoct until reduced to 60%, and take warm.
Indicated for dysentery caused by accumulation.
[ Lingsha Dan (Cinnabar Pill) ]
Zhusha (Cinnabaris, 1 fen), Zhusha (Cinnabaris, 1 fen, both ground extremely fine).
Separately, take half a liang of beeswax and twenty-one grains of Badou (Crotonis Fructus). Remove the shell, skin, and membrane. Boil them together in a silver or earthenware vessel over hot water for one shichen (two hours), until the Badou turns purple. Remove fourteen grains, retaining only seven grains. Mix these seven grains with the two cinnabar powders and grind thoroughly again. Melt the wax to encapsulate the medicine. Form pills the size of mung beans as needed. Take 3 to 5 pills per dose. For watery diarrhea, administer with fresh ginger decoction; for white dysentery, with mugwort decoction; for red-and-white dysentery, with unripe plum decoction. The patient must be extremely hungry when taking the medicine. Food should not be consumed until one hour after administration; taking it before bed is especially good, followed by a day of bland congee. For malaria, administer facing east with frankincense decoction; on evenings when no fever occurs, take it at night.
This medicine does not deplete Qi. It stops diarrhea, halts dysentery, relieves pain, resolves internal accumulations, and does not damage the zang-fu organs. Generally, in cases of dysentery with sediment/accumulation, if the accumulation is not first removed, although temporary relief may occur, harm will inevitably follow later. I once recall Chen Shilang Jingzhong seeking diagnosis in Yizhen during the autumn of the Gengxu year. Initially, he felt no illness. Upon examination, his liver pulse was deep and wiry, becoming firm upon pressing to the bone. I said: "There is blood accumulation in the left hypochondrium, which will certainly cause pain." Chen replied: "Indeed so. Previously, while serving in Jiujiang, I was summoned. Braving the summer heat to cross the Yangtze River, by the time I reached the imperial capital, bloody dysentery had lasted for several days. Eager to attend court, physicians used harsh, drying agents to forcibly stop it. Although it stopped for a few days, a mass appeared below the umbilicus, initially cup-sized, growing bowl-sized within ten days. The pain upon onset was unbearable. Thus, I urgently requested leave to return home. What should be done?" I said: "Accumulative dysentery cannot be forcibly stopped. Therefore, blood has coagulated below the umbilicus and hypochondrium. Only Didang Wan (Resist the Decoction Pill) will suffice." He doubted this and refused to take it. He ultimately died of this condition the following year. Didang Wan is described in Volume Nine.
