Stop taking if dysentery stops; if not, take again. Take until loose stools are achieved. Afterwards, take Shaoyao Tang to harmonize the body. After dysentery stops, take Baizhu Huangqin Tang to thoroughly eliminate pathogenic toxins.
Shaoyao Tang (Peony Decoction) Moves blood and regulates qi. The Classics state: "Urine with pus and blood indicates that when qi moves, blood stops; moving blood heals dysentery, regulating qi eliminates tenesmus."
Shaoyao (One liang) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) [each half liang] Dahuang (Three qian) Guizhi (Two qian half) Gancao (Stir-fried) Binglang (Arecae Semen) [each two qian]

Huanglian Huangbai Dahuang Gansui Yuanhua (Stir-fried with vinegar) Daji [each five qian] Qingfen (Two qian) Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) (One liang) Qianniu (Four liang, take the first extraction two liang)
The above nine herbs, ground into fine powder and mixed evenly, made into pills the size of small beans with water. Initial dose ten pills, increase by ten pills per dose, taken on an empty stomach, at noon, and before bed, three times a day, until brisk purgation is achieved. Thereafter, commonly take fifteen pills. After several days, if dietary strength returns but dysentery persists, increase dosage to induce purgation again. After purgation, resume common dosage. Adjust according to condition until disease is eliminated, then treat according to symptoms. For children, make pills the size of millet seeds. To reduce convulsive malnutrition and accumulated heat without purging, commonly take ten pills. (This medicine is harsh; do not use lightly unless there is excess accumulation. Be cautious.)

Generally, dysentery is not distinguished by red/white for cold/heat. If hands and feet are warm, it is Yang syndrome; first take Wuling San, adjusted with millet drink, then take Yinggan Wan twenty pills for cure. If hands and feet are cold, it is Yin syndrome; use Yi Han Wan with Fuzi (Aconite). Such treatment for dysentery is invariably effective. Someone suffered dysentery in summer, having sixty to seventy bowel movements a day; using Wuling San stopped it immediately.
