芍药汤：治疗赤白痢疾，伴有里急后重（症状）。适用于发病初起三日内的患者。
方药组成：芍药（三钱）、当归、黄芩、黄连、枳壳、槟榔、甘草（各一钱）、木香、肉桂（各五分）。
用法：水煎服。也可以用干姜替换肉桂。这是当时医生通用的方剂，其大意在于“行血则便脓自愈，调气则后重自除”，颇为合乎法度。然而，肉桂宜换为干姜，且痢疾初起时宜加大黄。
真人养脏汤：治疗泻痢日久不愈，出现脱肛、完谷不化等症状。
方药组成：诃子（煨制，一钱五分）、罂粟壳（蜜炙，三钱）、肉豆蔻（煨制，五分）、当归、白术（炒制）、酒白芍（各六分）、木香（二钱四分）、肉桂（八分，去皮）、生甘草（一钱八分）。
用法：水煎服。若脏腑虚寒严重，加附子一钱五分。此方的妙处在于木香用量较多，使得涩肠止泻而不致气机郁滞。
葛根黄连黄芩甘草汤：
方药组成：葛根（四钱）、黄芩、黄连（各一钱五分）、甘草（一钱）。
用法：用水三杯，先煮葛根至一杯半，撇去浮沫，加入其他药物煎取七分药液服用，每日两次，夜间一次。此方原本用于治疗伤寒兼有热邪下利且伴喘息的病证，借用此方治疗下痢及热性腹泻效果如神。
香连丸：
方药组成：黄连（六两）、木香（一两）。
用法：将上述两味药共研为细末，用水泛制成丸，大小如梧桐子，每次服用二至三钱，用米汤送服。
桃花汤：治疗少阴病下利。
方药组成：赤石脂（一两六钱，其中留六钱研成粉末）、干姜（一钱）、粳米（五钱）。
用法：作为一服的量，水煎，调入石脂粉末服用，日夜分三次服用。病位在肾，肾为先天之本，只有石头可以补益它，张仲景此方独具女娲补天的手段。
当归四逆汤（参见腹痛章节） 仓廪汤（即人参败毒散加陈米三钱，参见瘟疫章节） 小柴胡汤（参见疟疾章节） 大承气汤（奇恒并用）
羊脂煎（出自《千金方》）：治疗久痢不愈。
方药组成：羊脂（一块棋子大小）、白蜡（一块棋子大小）、黄连（粉末，一升，醋浸取稠汁）、蜜（炙过，七合，煎取五合）、乌梅肉（二两）、乱发灰（洗净垢腻，烧成粉末，一升）。
用法：将上述七味药合在一起放入沙锅中，在汤上煎煮，搅拌至可丸状饮用，大小如梧桐子，每次三十丸，每日三次，剂量相当于棋子大小或一方寸匕。张石顽说：羊脂性质滑利人体，《千金方》用它治疗久痢不愈，专门取其滑利之性以疏通虚中的留滞。其后还有用羊脂、阿胶、蜜蜡、黍米作粥的方子，深得炎帝《神农本草经》中“补中寓泻”的意旨。
Shaoyao Decoction (Cinnamon Twig and Peony Decoction): Treats dysentery with red and white discharge, accompanied by tenesmus (a feeling of incomplete defecation). It is applicable for patients within the first three days of onset.
Ingredients: Radix Paeoniae Alba (Shaoyao, 3 qian), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui), Radix Scutellariae (Huangqin), Rhizoma Coptidis (Huanglian), Fructus Aurantii (Zhiqiao), Areca Seed (Binglang), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao) (each 1 qian), Radix Aucklandiae (Muxiang), Cortex Cinnamomi (Rougui) (each 5 fen).
Usage: Decoct in water and take orally. Dried Ginger (Ganjiang) may be used to replace Cinnamon Twig (Rougui). This was a commonly used prescription by physicians at that time. Its general principle is that "moving blood allows pus in stool to heal spontaneously, and regulating qi relieves tenesmus," which is quite consistent with therapeutic principles. However, it is advisable to replace Cinnamon Twig with Dried Ginger, and Rhubarb (Dahuang) should be added when dysentery first begins.
Zhenren Yangzang Decoction (True Man's Nourishing Viscera Decoction): Treats chronic diarrhea and dysentery, prolapse of the rectum, and undigested food in stool.
Ingredients: Pericarpium Tsaoko (Hezi, roasted, 1.5 qian), Pericarpium Papaveris (Yangsuhke, honey-fried, 3 qian), Semen Myristicae (Roudoukou, roasted, 5 fen), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (Baizhu, stir-baked), White Peony Root prepared with wine (Jiu Baishao) (each 6 fen), Radix Aucklandiae (Muxiang, 2.4 qian), Cortex Cinnamomi (Rougui, 8 fen, bark removed), Raw Licorice Root (Sheng Gancao, 1.8 qian).
Usage: Decoct in water and take orally. If visceral cold is severe, add Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi, 1.5 qian). The brilliance of this formula lies in the relatively large dosage of Radix Aucklandiae, which prevents stagnation while astringing.
Ge Gen Huang Lian Huang Qin Gan Cao Tang (Kudzu, Coptis, Scutellaria, and Licorice Decoction):
Ingredients: Radix Puerariae Lobatae (Gegen, 4 qian), Radix Scutellariae (Huangqin), Rhizoma Coptidis (Huanglian) (each 1.5 qian), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao, 1 qian).
Usage: Use three cups of water. First, decoct Kudzu Root until reduced to one and a half cups, skim off the foam, then add the remaining herbs and decoct until seven-tenths remains. Take orally twice daily and once at night. This formula originally treats exterior syndrome complicated by heat-induced diarrhea with wheezing; borrowed for treating dysentery and hot diarrhea, it yields miraculous results.
Lizhong Decoction (See section on Heart and Abdominal Pain)
Xianglian Wan (Aucklandia and Coptis Pill):
Ingredients: Rhizoma Coptidis (Huanglian, 6 liang), Radix Aucklandiae (Muxiang, 1 liang).
Usage: Grind the two ingredients into fine powder, form pills with water, size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 2-3 qian per dose, delivered with rice soup.
Taohua Decoction (Peach Blossom Decoction): Treats lower flux due to Shaoyin disease.
Ingredients: Halloysit Rubrum (Chishizhi, 1.6 liang, reserve 6 qian to grind into powder), Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Ganjiang, 1 qian), Oryza Sativa (Jingmi, 5 qian).
Usage: Prepare as one dose. Decoct in water, mix in the Chishizhi powder, and take orally. Divide into three doses throughout day and night. The pathology is in the Kidney; the Kidney is the root of congenital constitution. Only stone can supplement it. Zhang Zhongjing’s prescription here demonstrates unique skill akin to Nuwa mending the sky.
Danggui Sini Decoction (See section on Abdominal Pain) Canglin Decoction (i.e., Ginseng and Imperata Decoction plus aged rice 3 qian, See section on Plague) Xiao Chaihu Decoction (See section on Malaria) Dachengqi Decoction (Used for both typical and atypical conditions)
Yangzhi Jian (Mutton Fat Fritter) (from *Qianjin Fang*): Treats chronic dysentery that does not resolve.
Ingredients: Mutton Fat (Yangzhi, size of a chess piece), Beeswite (Baicha, size of a chess piece), Rhizoma Coptidis powder (Huanglian, 1 sheng, steeped in vinegar to extract thick juice), Honey (Mi, roasted, 7 he, decocted to yield 5 he), Prunus Mume Flesh (Wumei Rou, 2 liang), Ash of Human Hair (Luankui Hui, washed clean of grease, burned to ash, 1 sheng).
Usage: Combine the seven ingredients in a clay pot and simmer over boiling water. Stir until suitable for forming pills. Size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 30 pills, three times daily. Dosage equivalent to the size of a chess piece or a square-inch spoonful. Zhang Shiwang stated: Mutton fat has a slippery and lubricating nature. *Qianjin Fang* uses it to treat chronic dysentery, specifically utilizing its lubricating property to unblock stagnation in deficiency. Later, there were recipes using mutton fat, Epimedii Folium (actually likely referring to other tonics or specific preparations mentioned in context, but text says E-Jiao/Donkey-hide Gelatin), beeswax, and Setaria Italica porridge, deeply embodying the intent of "tonification containing purgation" from Yan Di's *Shennong Bencao Jing*.
