腹痛各症,应与伤寒门参看。脐眼上痛者食痛也。脐眼下痛,热手按之不痛,或其痛多
急,或痛如刀割,或吐或泻,或痛甚而觉有冷气,皆寒痛也。手按之更痛,冷物熨之不痛,
或自下而痛上,或时痛时止,满腹坚结,皆热痛也。时发时止,痛在一处而不移者,或有块
硬起者,虫痛痞痛也。又闻煎炒食物香气则痛,痛时口吐清水,或口渴者,亦虫痛也。
男女交合之后,或外受风寒,或内食生冷等物,以致肚腹疼痛,肾囊(俗谓卵泡)内缩,
亦有不缩者,手足弯曲紫黑,重则牙紧气绝,谓之阴症伤寒,治法见卷十四伤寒门。
参看阴症伤寒各方。或炒盐熨之,或炒葱姜熨之,或用热灰熨之,或用滚水一壶隔布熨
之,均止痛好法也。
又方∶或饮胡椒汤,加糖冲之,不可加盐。或饮姜汤,均妙。
又方∶龙眼连壳烧存性,研末,兑酒服,屡试屡验。
又方∶白芍三钱,甘草、肉桂各一钱,水煎服。此张仲景神方也。
肚腹容易受寒,动辄疼痛不已,甚至寒中三阴,命在须臾,迟则难救。此下部虚损,真
阳不足,命门火弱故也。有人肚腹畏寒,上贴附桂膏,又加浓绵腰围数层,遇寒仍不济事。

Thirty-seven cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), and twenty-seven white lotus seeds (Nelumbinis Semen) with the hearts removed, are boiled together until soft. The dregs are strained out, one piece of baked ginger is added, along with half a sheng of glutinous rice, to cook into a porridge. Eating this will stop hiccups.
One he of fresh ginger juice, extracted by crushing fresh ginger, is mixed with one spoonful of honey and taken warm.
Various symptoms of abdominal pain should be cross-referenced with the section on Cold Damage (Shanghan). Pain above the navel is food stagnation pain. Pain below the navel that does not hurt upon pressure by a warm hand, or pain that is sudden, knife-like, accompanied by vomiting or diarrhea, or severe pain with a sensation of cold air, all indicate cold pain. Pain that worsens upon pressure, does not improve with cold compresses, radiates upward from below, comes and goes intermittently, or presents with a hard, knotted fullness of the abdomen, all indicate heat pain. Intermittent pain fixed in one location without moving, or accompanied by a hard mass, indicates worm pain or stasis pain. Additionally, pain triggered by the aroma of fried foods, accompanied by spitting clear saliva or thirst during pain episodes, also indicates worm pain.
After sexual intercourse, if exposed to external wind-cold or ingesting internal raw/cold substances, leading to abdominal pain, retraction of the scrotum (colloquially called follicle sac), or even non-retraction, with flexed hands and feet turning purple-black, and in severe cases, locked jaw and cessation of breath, this is termed Yin Syndrome Cold Damage. Treatment methods are found in Volume 14, Section on Cold Damage.
Refer to various formulas for treating Yin Syndrome Cold Damage. Alternatively, apply hot roasted salt, hot roasted green onion and ginger, hot ashes, or a pot of boiling water wrapped in cloth as compresses; these are all effective methods for relieving pain.
Another formula: Drink pepper soup mixed with sugar (do not add salt). Or drink ginger soup; both are excellent.
Another formula: Burn longan fruit with shell until carbonized (preserving its nature), grind into powder, and take with wine. This has been repeatedly tested and proven effective.
Another formula: Three qian of Baishao (White Peony Root), one qian each of Gancao (Licorice Root) and Rougui (Cinnamon Bark), decocted in water and taken orally. This is a divine formula by Zhang Zhongjing.
The abdomen is prone to cold invasion, often resulting in unceasing pain. If cold penetrates the Three Yin meridians, life is in imminent danger, and delay makes rescue difficult. This is due to deficiency in the lower body, insufficiency of True Yang, and weak fire of the Mingmen (Gate of Life). Some individuals suffer from abdominal aversion to cold; applying Fugui Gao (Aconite and Cinnamon Plaster) to the upper abdomen and wearing several layers of thick cotton waist wraps still proves ineffective when exposed to cold. An old physician prescribed five qian of Zhi Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix), five fen of Shang Rougui (Superior Cinnamon Bark, ground into powder and taken with the decoction; if unavailable, it may be omitted), and one qian of Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), decocted in water and taken continuously...
Another formula: Take Jiuzhi Liuhuang Wan (Nine-Processed Sulfur Pills) (see Internal and External Reserve Formulas); the effect is miraculous.
