Furthermore, it may damage the Yuan Qi (Original Qi). Monostrophic abdominal distension belongs to Spleen deficiency and Liver hyperactivity; the appearance of green veins on the abdomen indicates Wood overcoming Earth, which is difficult to treat. Apply a plaster with Cinnamon Twig powder (Guizhi) to the chest and umbilicus, using Magnolia Bark (Houpo) as the sovereign herb, and add Codonopsis Radix (Dangshen), Atractylodis Rhizoma (Baizhu), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Wine-processed White Peony Root (Jiushaoyao), Pinellia Tuber (Banxia), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Medicated Leaven (Shenqu), Cinnamon Twig (Guigui), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), Zanthoxylum Pericarpium (Huajiao), Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian), Evodia Fruit (Wuyu), Quince (Mugua), Betel Nut Pericarp (Fupi), Cistanche Stem (Roucongrong), Perilla Fruit (Suzi), Radish Seed (Laifuzi), Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi), Alumen (Zexie), Green Vitriol (Qingfan), and Red Dates (Hongzao). For hot compresses, use Ginseng Radix (Renshen) to strengthen the Spleen, or simply use Piwei Tang (Spleen-Strengthening Decoction) combined with San Yin Gao (Scatter-Yin Plaster). This plaster need not be used.

Li Dongyuan has a general formula for abdominal distension, Houpo Banxia Tang (Magnolia and Pinellia Decoction), which can also be used酌情ly; there are also formulas in the text. This condition is difficult to treat, similar to Yige (Dysphagia). If the True Zang Pulse is not seen at the onset, using this plaster can open the orifices and reduce distension even without added herbs, but recurrence is inevitable in the long run.

Grind into coarse powder, add Ginger (Jiang), Scallion (Cong), and Radish Seed (Laifuzi) 5 qian, heat well, divide into two bags, and alternate hot compresses binding to the umbilicus.

For severe heat-toxin, apply Fresh Apple Snail (Tianluo) and Moschus (Shexiang) to the umbilicus. Treatment methods for dysentery: Abdominal pain should harmonize Shaoyao (Peony) and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel); tenesmus should purge Muxiang (Aucklandia) and Binglang (Areca Seed); heavy body should remove dampness with Zhuling (Polyporus) and Zexie (Plantago Seed); thick sticky pus and blood should be exhausted with Dahuang (Rhubarb) and Mangxiao (Mirabilite); cold body with spontaneous sweating should be warmed with Fuzi (Aconite) and Ganjiang (Dried Ginger).

Children's Wind-Cold and Accumulation can all use this. External conditions like Hypochondriac Abscess not yet ruptured can also use this.

Children halve this. If adding herbs, must clearly diagnose before adding, and increase gradually, not abruptly. Various plasters must be used separately, but can also be combined; only those who understand medical principles can use plasters, and must study books accordingly.

No, likely Badou Ren/Baoren - Adzuki is Chi Xiao Dou, here likely Badou/Croton seed given context of harsh purgatives or specific local name, WHO term usually Croton Seed if Badou, but text says Ba Ren which is often Coix Seed, however paired with Heiqiu suggests harsher agent. Given "Ba Ren" usually means Coix Seed (Yiyiren) or Croton (Badou). In plasters for accumulation, Badou (Croton) is common. I will translate as Croton Seed if Badou, or Coix Seed if Yiyiren. Text says "Ba Ren". Standard TCM Ba Ren is Coix Seed. But in this harsh formula with Dahuang/Daji/Yuanhua, Badou (Croton) is more likely intended for expulsion. However, strictly translating "Ba Ren" -> Coix Seed. Let's stick to literal: Coix Seed).
