**[Names]** Human feces (*Bie Lu*), defecation.
**[Flavor and Nature]** Bitter, cold, non-toxic.
**[Indications]** Treats epidemic high fever with mania and running about; resolves various toxins. Pound into powder, take with boiling water (*Bie Lu*). For Shanghan (Cold Damage) heat toxicity, soak in water and drink; this is even better. Fresh feces applied externally to ding sores (hard, painful skin infections) will cause the root to rot within one day (Su Song).
**Feces Clear Liquid**
**[Names]** Huanglong Tang (Dragon Yellow Decoction) (Tao Hongjing), Huanyuan Shui (Returning Origin Water) (*Shuyuan Ji*), Renzhonghuang. Tao Hongjing said: People near cities plug the mouth of an empty jar, insert it into feces, and accumulate juice over years. It is very black and bitter, named Huanglong Tang, which cures patients dying from plague. Meng Shen said: In the twelfth lunar month, cut light bamboo, remove the green skin, soak to渗 (percolate/extract) the juice. This treats epidemic heat diseases and poisoning, named Fenqing (Feces Clear). Soaked with soap pod and sugarcane to treat epidemic heat diseases, named Renzhonghuang. Zhu Zhenheng said: To make Renzhonghuang, put powdered Licorice Root (Gancao) into a bamboo tube, plug both ends with bamboo or wood, immerse in a fecal pit during winter, retrieve at Start of Spring, hang in a ventilated place to dry in shade, break the bamboo to extract the grass/powder, dry and use. Wang Ji said: Spread yellow earth on brown skin and cotton paper, pour fecal juice to filter through the earth, collect the clear liquid into a new urn, cover with a bowl, and bury in the soil.
**[Indications]** Treats epidemic heat, mania, severe febrile diseases, poisoning, mushroom toxicity, and malignant sores (Meng Shen). Clears heat and dampness toxins, greatly resolves excess heat in the five zang organs. Mixed with rice to make pills, clears phlegm, reduces food stagnation, and descends deficient fire (Zhu Zhenheng).

After half a day, remove fire toxicity, grind to powder. Take 3 qian with fresh well water. If symptoms persist, take again (*Doumen Fang*).
**Severe heat, mania, and thirst:** Grind aged dry human feces into powder. Dig a small pit 5-6 cun deep in clean yellow earth in a shady place. Put 3 liang of spoonfuls of powder into the pit, mix evenly with fresh well water, wait for clarification, and drink slowly to resolve heat. Secularly called Diqing (Earth Clear) (Kou Zongshi *Yanyi*).
**Extreme exhaustion with bone-steaming fever**, also known as Fulian Chuanshi (infectious wasting disease), this prescription is very effective. Use 5 sheng of wet human feces, 1 sheng of urine, 5 sheng of fresh millet rice, and half a cake of yeast made on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.

Using fire transformation follows the principle of treating contrary. For Faback (back carbuncle) nearing death, burn feces to ash, mix with vinegar and apply; change when dry (*Zhouhou Fang*).
**All abscesses and swellings unruptured:** Mix 0.5 qian each of dry human feces powder and musk. Take bean-sized amount, mix with saliva, apply to the outer edge of the head lesion, protect with vinegar-flour paste shaped like a coin. Remove medicine after pus drains (Kou Zongshi *Yanyi*).

**Sudden severe poisoning, heat oppression nearing death:** Take fresh feces juice mixed with water. Or burn dry feces to powder, steep in water and drink. Named Po Guan Tang (Break Coffin Soup) (Su Gong).
**Resolving poisoned arrow wounds:** There are three types of poisoned arrows: Barbarians in Jiaoguang use scorched copper arrowheads; regions north of the ridges dip arrowheads in juices of venomous snakes biting objects. These two types cause pus and rotting death upon skin penetration. If injured, drink the juice and apply; this is best. Another type uses She Wang (aconite extract) boiled and applied to arrowheads; this prescription is also suitable (Yao Sengtan *Jiyan Fang*).
