腰痈发于软肋下，近腰之部，宜合阴阳两性治之。方用∶
白术一两 杜仲一两 当归一两 金银花三两 防己一钱 草三钱
水煎服。
玄参二两 麦冬三两 生甘草五钱 金银花十两
水煎服，一剂痛减，二剂内消。
白芍三两 当归二两 炒栀子三钱 生甘草三钱
水煎服，约二剂而愈。
肠痈生于大小肠之间，其症口渴，小便如淋，时时汗出，小腹肿痛，手不可按；又生于
大肠者，右足屈而不伸；生于小肠者，左足屈而不伸。方用∶
金银花八两 地榆一两 薏苡仁五钱 当归一两
先金银花煎水二碗，余药用水十余碗，煎作二碗，同金银花分作二服，上午一服，临睡
一服，二剂而愈。
凡肠痈必须内消，而火邪甚急，非杯水可救，必须大剂始效。然大剂败毒，恐伤元气，
惟金银花败毒而又补阴，故可重用，若用之过少，反无效矣。
脐后痈发于背下命门之穴，与脐正对，其症为真水衰弱，邪火炽盛，非大补其水，则邪
火不散，毒无自消，初发之时，尚未溃败。宜用∶
金银花五两 五钱 熟地一两 白术一两 黄柏三钱 车前子三钱
先用水十碗，煎金银花四碗，乃分之为二，先以两碗煎前药得一碗，空腹饮之，少顷再
将前汁二碗，更煎药滓得一碗服之，连服二剂。
若已溃烂者，宜改用∶
人参三两 白术五两 肉桂三钱 附子一钱 山茱萸一两 北五味子三钱 金银花三两
茯神三钱
水十碗，煎汁一碗，服之。
腰痈（腰部发生的痈肿）发生在软肋下方，靠近腰部的区域，治疗时应当兼顾阴阳两性。方剂组成如下：
白术一两 杜仲一两 当归一两 金银花三两 防己一钱 甘草三钱
加水煎煮后服用。
玄参二两 麦冬三两 生甘草五钱 金银花十两
加水煎煮后服用，服用一剂后疼痛减轻，服用两剂后内部消散。
白芍三两 当归二两 炒栀子三钱 生甘草三钱
加水煎煮后服用，大约服用两剂即可痊愈。
肠痈（肠道发生的痈肿）发生在大肠和小肠之间，其症状表现为口渴，小便像淋证一样涩痛，时常出汗，小腹肿胀疼痛，手不能触碰；如果发生在大肠部位，右腿弯曲无法伸直；发生在小肠部位，左腿弯曲无法伸直。方剂组成如下：
金银花八两 地榆一两 薏苡仁五钱 当归一两
先用金银花煎取两碗水，其余药物用十余碗水，煎取两碗药汁，将金银花水和药汁混合，分两次服用，上午服一次，临睡前服一次，服用两剂即可痊愈。
凡是肠痈必须通过内服药物使其消散，而火邪非常急迫，不是少量饮水就能解决的，必须使用大剂量药物才有效。但是大剂量使用败毒药物，恐怕会损伤元气，只有金银花既能败毒又能补阴，所以可以重用，如果使用剂量过少，反而没有效果。
脐后痈（肚脐后方发生的痈肿）发生在背部下方的命门穴处，与肚脐正相对，其病机是真水（肾阴）衰弱，邪火炽盛，如果不大量滋补真水，则邪火不能消散，毒邪无从消除，在初发阶段，尚未溃烂。适宜使用以下方剂：
金银花五两 熟地黄一两 白术一两 黄柏三钱 车前子三钱
先用十碗水，煎煮金银花至四碗，然后将其分为两份，先用其中两碗水煎煮其他药物得到一碗药汁，空腹饮用，过了一会儿再将剩下的两碗金银花水，再次煎煮之前的药渣得到一碗药汁服用，连续服用两剂。
如果已经溃烂的，适宜改用以下方剂：
人参三两 白术五两 肉桂三钱 附子一钱 山茱萸一两 北五味子三钱 金银花三两 茯神三钱
用十碗水，煎取一碗药汁，服用。
Yao Yong (abscess of the waist) occurs below the soft ribs, in the area close to the waist. Treatment should harmonize Yin and Yang. The prescription is as follows:
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), 1 liang; Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex), 1 liang; Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), 1 liang; Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), 3 liang; Fang Ji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix), 1 qian; Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), 3 qian.
Decoct with water and take orally.
Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), 2 liang; Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber), 3 liang; Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), 5 qian; Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), 10 liang.
Decoct with water and take orally. Pain decreases after one dose; internal resolution occurs after two doses.
Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), 3 liang; Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), 2 liang; Chao Zhi Zi (Fried Gardenia Fruit), 3 qian; Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), 3 qian.
Decoct with water and take orally. Recovery is expected after approximately two doses.
Chang Yong (intestinal abscess) arises between the large intestine and the small intestine. Symptoms include thirst, dysuria resembling strangury (Lin syndrome), frequent sweating, swelling and pain in the lower abdomen that cannot be touched by hand. If located in the large intestine, the right leg is flexed and cannot extend; if located in the small intestine, the left leg is flexed and cannot extend. The prescription is as follows:
Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), 8 liang; Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix), 1 liang; Yi Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), 5 qian; Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), 1 liang.
First, decoct Jin Yin Hua in water to obtain two bowls of liquid. Decoct the remaining herbs in more than ten bowls of water to obtain two bowls of liquid. Mix the Jin Yin Hua liquid with the herbal liquid and divide into two doses: one taken in the morning and one taken before sleep. Recovery occurs after two doses.
For all intestinal abscesses, internal resolution is mandatory. Since the pathogenic fire is extremely urgent, it cannot be resolved with a cup of water; a large dosage is required for efficacy. However, using large dosages of detoxifying herbs may damage Yuan Qi (primordial qi). Only Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) can both clear toxicity and nourish Yin, allowing for heavy use. If used in insufficient amounts, it will be ineffective.
Qi Hou Yong (abscess behind the navel) occurs at the Ming Men acupoint (Gate of Life) on the lower back, directly opposite the navel. The pathology involves deficiency of True Water (Kidney Yin) and flourishing of pathogenic fire. Without substantial tonification of True Water, the pathogenic fire will not dissipate, and the toxin cannot eliminate itself. At the initial stage, before ulceration, the following prescription is suitable:
Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), 5 liang; Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix), 1 liang; Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), 1 liang; Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex), 3 qian; Che Qian Zi (Plantaginis Semen), 3 qian.
First, decoct Jin Yin Hua in ten bowls of water until four bowls remain. Divide this into two portions. Use two bowls to decoct the other herbs to obtain one bowl of liquid; drink this on an empty stomach. Shortly after, use the remaining two bowls of Jin Yin Hua liquid to decoct the previous dregs to obtain another bowl of liquid; take this orally. Continue for two doses.
If ulceration has already occurred, change to the following prescription:
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), 3 liang; Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), 5 liang; Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex), 3 qian; Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), 1 qian; Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus), 1 liang; Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), 3 qian; Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), 3 liang; Fu Shen (Poria Cum Radix), 3 qian.
Decoct in ten bowls of water to obtain one bowl of liquid; take orally.
