Taibai (SP3), indicated for intestinal abscess. (*Jia Yi Jing* records this under the section on abdominal borborygmus.) Xangu (ST41) and other points, indicated for intestinal abscess.

(*Tong Ren Shu* records this under the section on accumulations.) Jianli (CV11), treats pain in the intestines, vomiting with counterflow of qi, heart pain, and bodily swelling. (*Ming Tang*) Qichong (ST30), treats heat in the intestines. (*Tong Ren Shu* records this under the sections on counterflow of qi and intestinal abscess.)
The manifestations of intestinal abscess are diverse. If the pain is severe, it is an intestinal abscess (purulent lesion of the intestine). One should immediately administer herbs such as Neibu Shiquan San (Internal Nourishing Ten-Ingredient Decoction). Other conditions should be treated with moxibustion according to the syndrome. An old woman often felt a sensation of tenesmus in her large intestine, which caused her great suffering. She claimed that no elderly woman would suffer from such a strange disease. Upon palpation, severe tenderness was found at Dachangshu (BL25). She was instructed to moxa this point at home and recovered.
As a disease, intestinal abscess presents with heaviness in the small intestine, frequent urination resembling strangury, sores developing around the umbilicus, pus discharging from the umbilicus, and passage of pus and blood in the stool. Bend both elbows and moxa directly on the sharp bone at the tip of each elbow for one hundred moxa cones; then the discharge of pus will stop, and the condition will heal.
Neibu Shiquan San (Internal Nourishing Ten-Ingredient Decoction) by Hu Quan is miraculously effective in treating intestinal abscess.
