白术(去除芦头,炒制一钱半) 白芍(炒制一钱五分) 白茯苓(去皮一钱) 泽泻(一钱) 厚朴(姜汁炒) 黄连(炒制各一钱) 干姜(炒制五分) 乌梅肉(煎汤用三钱,制成丸剂用二钱)
如果兼有伤食的情况,加入炒神曲、炒麦芽各一钱。
以上药材切碎,加生姜三片,水煎煮。饭前服用。也可以制成粉末,用神曲糊为丸服用,效果更好。
脉象大的可以生还。脉象微弱而迟缓的会死亡。出现代脉的,是霍乱病。气短不能说话的,舌头卷缩、阴囊收缩的,都是无法治疗的。
所谓霍乱,是指病情突然变化紊乱。其症状是心腹突然疼痛,呕吐腹泻,发热怕冷,头痛眩晕。或者只泻不吐,或者只吐不泻。先心痛则先呕吐,先腹痛则先腹泻。心腹都痛,则吐泻同时发作。严重时会出现转筋(小腿肌肉痉挛)、极度疲乏,手足冰冷,生死只在顷刻之间。治疗适宜用藿香正气散,加入生姜为上策。这不仅能温散风邪,也能调理吐泻。因为有吐有泻,称为湿霍乱,死亡的较少。如果上不得吐下不得泻,称为干霍乱,死亡的较多。治疗时必须紧急用盐汤灌服,使其大量呕吐,这样才有生存的希望。千万不要给谷物食物,即使是米汤喝一口,入口即死。必须等待吐泻停止两三个小时后,直到非常饥饿时,才可以给予稀粥,慢慢调理即可。转筋不止,男子用手握住其阴部,女子用手牵拉其乳房靠近腋下的部位,这是《千金方》中的妙法。
一种论述关于四季不正之气,如寒疫时气、山岚瘴气、雨湿蒸气等,或中寒导致腹痛吐泻,中暑冒风导致吐泻,中湿导致身体沉重泄泻,或者不服水土、脾胃不和、饮食停滞,又感受外寒,出现头痛怕冷,或呕逆恶心、胸膈痞闷,或发热无汗等情况,均适用此方治疗。
藿香正气散
藿香(二钱) 紫苏 陈皮 厚朴(姜汁炒) 半夏(姜汁炒) 白术(炒去芦) 白茯苓(去皮) 桔梗 大腹皮 白芷(各一钱) 甘草(五分)

一种论述霍乱之疾,没有不是由内伤生冷、外感风寒引起的。我用藿香正气散治疗,百发百中。一年内常治百人,没有无效的。但有热象的,须加姜炒黄连六分;寒象严重的,加干姜八分,万无一失。又有腹痛,加桂五分;痛甚,去掉藿香,加吴茱萸四分。小便不利,加茯苓三钱。如果是干霍乱,加枳壳一钱、白茯苓三钱、官桂五分最佳。
一种治疗虚弱之人,上吐下泻,霍乱,手足厥冷,腹痛,脉微弱的,属于阴症。

Sanbai San (Three Whites Powder) is effective for treating all types of diarrhea.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, remove rhizome, stir-fry, 1.5 qian) Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, stir-fry, 1.5 qian) Bai Fu Ling (Poria, remove skin, 1 qian) Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma, 1 qian) Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, stir-fry with ginger juice) Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, stir-fry, 1 qian each) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, stir-fry, 0.5 qian) Wu Mei Rou (Mume Fructus Flesh, decoction use 3 qian, pill use 2 qian).
If accompanied by food stagnation, add Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven, stir-fry) and Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, stir-fry), 1 qian each.
The above herbs are cut into pieces. Add three slices of fresh Ginger (Sheng Jiang), decoct in water, and take before meals. Alternatively, grind into powder and form pills with Shen Qu paste; this is even more effective.
A large pulse indicates survival. A weak and slow pulse indicates death. A choppy pulse indicates Huoluan (Cholera-like disease). Shortness of breath and inability to speak, curled tongue, and retracted scrotum are all untreatable.
Huoluan refers to sudden and chaotic changes in the body. Its symptoms include sudden pain in the heart and abdomen, vomiting and diarrhea, fever and aversion to cold, headache, and dizziness. It may present as diarrhea without vomiting, or vomiting without diarrhea. Heart pain precedes vomiting; abdominal pain precedes diarrhea. If both heart and abdomen hurt, vomiting and diarrhea occur simultaneously. In severe cases, it leads to muscle cramps (Zhuanjin), extreme prostration, and cold limbs; life and death depend on a moment. Treatment should prioritize Huoxiang Zhengqi San (Agastache Powder to Rectify the Qi) with added fresh Ginger. This not only warms and disperses wind-cold but also regulates vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting with diarrhea is called Shi Huoluan (Damp Cholera), with fewer deaths. Vomiting and diarrhea that cannot be expelled is called Gan Huoluan (Dry Cholera), with more deaths. Urgent treatment requires administering salt water to induce profuse vomiting, offering a chance of survival. Do not give grain food; even a sip of rice drink can cause death upon entry. Wait until vomiting and diarrhea cease for two to three hours, until the patient is very hungry, then offer thin porridge and regulate slowly. For persistent muscle cramps, men should hold their genitals, and women should pull their breasts near the axilla; this is a wonderful method from Qianjin Fang.
One discussion concerns abnormal qi of the four seasons, such as cold epidemic qi, mountain miasma, rain-damp vapor, or cold invasion causing abdominal pain and diarrhea, summerheat-wind invasion causing vomiting and diarrhea, dampness invasion causing heavy body and diarrhea, or failure to adapt to local conditions, spleen-stomach disharmony, food stagnation, combined with external cold, leading to headache, aversion to cold, nausea, chest oppression, or fever without sweating. All these are treated with:
Huoxiang Zhengqi San (Agastache Powder to Rectify the Qi)
Huo Xiang (Pogostemonis Herba, 2 qian) Zi Su (Perillae Folium) Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, stir-fry with ginger juice) Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber, stir-fry with ginger juice) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, stir-fry, remove rhizome) Bai Fu Ling (Poria, remove skin) Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix) Da Fu Pi (Arecae Pericarpium) Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 1 qian each) Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 0.5 qian).
Cut one dose. Decoct with fresh Ginger and dates. For Huoluan with muscle cramps, add Mu Gua (Chaenomelis Fructus), 2 qian. For abdominal pain, add Chao Bai Shao (Stir-fried Paeoniae Radix Alba), 2 qian. For cold pain, add Guan Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex), 0.8 fen. For severe cold, add Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), 0.8 fen. For undigested food and epigastric fullness, add Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma) and Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus), 1 qian. For undigested grains, add Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven), 2 qian. For summerheat-wind invasion, add Xiang Ru (Moslae Herba), 1 qian, and Bian Dou (Vigna Semen), 2 qian. For intermittent chills and high fever, add Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), 1 qian, and Gan Ge (Puerariae Radix), 2 qian. For fever, add Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix), 2 qian, and Dan Zhu Ye (Lophatheri Herba), 3 qian. For thirst with diarrhea and difficult urination, combine with Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria). For damp-heat conflict, Huoluan with muscle cramps, irritability, thirst, and confusion, combine with Huanglian Xiangru San (Coptis and Mosla Powder). For severe heart-abdominal colic, add Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), 1 qian. For frequent urge to defecate but difficulty passing stool, add Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), 1 qian.
One discussion states that Huoluan disease is always caused by internal injury from raw/cold foods and external contraction of wind-cold. I use Huoxiang Zhengqi San to treat it, with 100% success. Within a year, treating hundreds of people, none failed. If there is heat, add Huang Lian stir-fried with ginger, 0.6 fen. If cold is severe, add Gan Jiang, 0.8 fen, ensuring no mistakes. For abdominal pain, add Gui (Cinnamon Twig), 0.5 fen; for severe pain, remove Huo Xiang and add Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus), 0.4 fen. For difficult urination, add Fu Ling (Poria), 3 qian. For Gan Huoluan (Dry Cholera), add Zhi Ke, 1 qian, Bai Fu Ling, 3 qian, and Guan Gui, 0.5 fen, which is best.
One treats weak individuals with upper vomiting and lower diarrhea, Huoluan, cold limbs, abdominal pain, and a faint pulse, indicating Yin syndrome.
Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction)
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 2 qian) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 1.5 qian)
Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, stir-fry, 0.8 fen)
Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-roasted, 0.8 fen).
If affected by cold and dampness, add Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), 1 qian, named Fuzi Lizhong Tang (Aconite Regulate the Middle Decoction). For Huoluan vomiting and diarrhea, add Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), 2 qian, and Chen Pi, 1 qian, named Zhizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction). For Gan Huoluan with heart-abdominal pain, first administer salt water frequently until vomited, then give this medicine. If vomiting occurs, add Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), 0.5 fen, Ban Xia, 2 qian, and Sheng Jiang, 2 slices, to Zhizhong Tang. If diarrhea occurs, add Ju Pi (Tangerine Peel) and Fu Ling, named Buzhong Tang (Tonify the Middle Decoction). If loose diarrhea persists, add Fu Zi, 1 qian, to Buzhong Tang. If appetite is poor and grains are undigested, add Sha Ren, 0.8 fen, Fu Zi, 0.8 fen, Chen Pi, 2 qian, and Fu Ling, 3 qian. For Huoluan vomiting/diarrhea, heart-abdominal pain, and cold limbs, remove Bai Zhu and add Fu Zi, 0.8 fen, named Sishun Tang (Four Smoothness Decoction). For Taiyang disease with Jie Xiong (Chest Binding), first use Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction); if ineffective, and after various vomiting/diarrhea, with chest oppression nearing collapse, elevated epigastrium, tight painful sensation intolerant to touch, add Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), 2 qian, and Fu Ling, 3 qian, named Zhishi Lizhong Tang (Immature Bitter Orange Regulate the Middle Decoction). If thirsty, add Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthis Radix), 3 qian, to Zhishi Lizhong Tang. If desiring to drink water, add Bai Zhu, 1.5 qian. For Huoluan muscle cramps, add Huo Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), 3 qian, to Lizhong Tang. If pulsation above the navel indicates Kidney Qi movement, remove Bai Zhu and add Gui, 0.5 fen. The Kidney dislikes dryness, hence remove Bai Zhu. To prevent Ben Tun (Running Piglet), add Guan Gui. If palpitations are frequent, add Fu Ling, 3 qian. If abdominal fullness, remove Bai Zhu and add Fu Zi, 0.8 fen. If excessive alcohol intake or consumption of roasted/hot foods causes nosebleeds, add Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), 1.5 qian. If stomach injury causes hematemesis, this medicine regulates the Middle Jiao, separates Yin and Yang, and stabilizes blood vessels.
One discussion covers Zhuanjin Huoluan (Cramping Cholera) with upper vomiting, lower diarrhea, abdominal pain, and Gan Huoluan, commonly known as Jiaochang Sha (Intestinal Colic Plague), a true Yin syndrome with cold limbs. It is suitable to take Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill).
Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill)
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 2 qian) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, processed, 0.8 fen) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 3 qian) Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-roasted, 0.8 fen).
Grind into powder, make pills with refined honey, each weighing 1 qian. Chew thoroughly and swallow with light ginger soup. Avoid rice soup. This is Lizhong Tang converted to pills, utilizing the principle that Earth controls Water. If decocted as soup, it is ineffective.
One discussion on Gan Huoluan (Dry Cholera), commonly known as Jiaochang Sha. Symptoms arise from undigested food causing severe heart-abdominal colic, desire to vomit but unable, desire to defecate but unable, sudden chaos, and trapped pathogenic factors. Death occurs quickly. Urgently administer abundant salt water to induce vomiting, expelling the pathogen completely, then administer Lizhong Tang or Lizhong Wan. Additionally, prick the ten fingertips and Weizhong (BL40) acupoint to bleed.
One case of Huoluan with body heat and thirst indicates Summerheat invasion.
Jiajian Ruiling Tang (Modified Ruiling Decoction)
Zhu Ling (Polypori Umbilicatus, 2 qian) Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma, 2 qian) Xiang Ru (Moslae Herba, 1 qian) Gan Ge (Puerariae Radix, 2 qian) Chi Fu Ling (Red Poria, 3 qian).
Cut one dose. Decoct with fresh Ginger. If heat is extreme, add Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), 2 qian, and Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), 2 qian. If diarrhea is extreme, add Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), 0.5 fen, and Hua Shi (Talcum), 3 qian.
