腹痛多由寒证和热证引起，虽然也有气滞痛、虫积痛、食积痛的区别，但大致可以用“阴”和“阳”两个字来概括。这里先论述食积痛、虫积痛和气滞痛。
那些属于阴证的疼痛，表现为有时痛有时不痛，或者夜间痛而白天不痛，或者饥饿时痛而饱餐后不痛，或者不按就痛、按压后反而不痛，这些都是阴证的疼痛表现。这类症状中，有的患者口吐清水，有的喜欢喝热汤，有的索求饮食，有的喜欢裹着被子睡觉，面色发青，手脚冰冷，口中必定不干，痰液必定不粘稠。对于这类病症，不可使用寒凉药物治疗。我有一方，效果极佳，名为“安腹止痛丹”。此方的妙处在于使用白芍来平抑肝木，使肝木不来克制脾土，又辅以健脾、祛湿、化痰、消食的药剂，从而调和得当，自然能收到如神般的疗效。如果体内有虫，也能被制服束缚而不致疼痛，大概是因为肉桂一味药原本就能杀虫的缘故。
如果是阳证的疼痛，必定是白天重而夜间轻，疼痛剧烈且不可触碰按压，进食后疼痛更加严重，口中必定口渴，痰液必定发黄，眼睛必定红赤，舌苔必定干燥，手脚反而寒冷且颤抖，大便坚实，小便必定黄赤且排尿困难，这都是火热之邪作祟，以及虫积与食积不化所致。这些病症可能是因为恼怒生气引起，也可能是因为醉酒造成，或者是过食煎炸烧烤食物所致。治疗此类病症不可以用寒凉药物强行折服。我有一方，治疗效果最妙，名为“清解止痛丹”。此方也妙在用芍药，因为疼痛病症非芍药不能调和，所以必须以此药为君药（主药），只要佐药和使药搭配得当，又何必担心芍药的酸收特性呢？在攻逐邪气时使用芍药为君药，这叫作“剿抚兼施”，自然形成仁勇兼备、占据必胜之势的局面，去攻克必然消散的疾病，哪有不能收到如神般疗效的呢？
腹痛虽是小病，但阴阳属性最不可不辨明。世人往往因为小病而治疗方法不当，最终导致大病的情况很多了。所以我是不怕麻烦地传授这一门关于腹痛的知识的原因。

Abdominal pain is mostly caused by Cold and Heat syndromes. Although there are distinctions such as Qi stagnation pain, parasitic pain, and food retention pain, they can generally be encompassed by the concepts of Yin and Yang. First, let us discuss food retention pain, parasitic pain, and Qi stagnation pain.
Pain belonging to Yin syndromes manifests as intermittent pain (pain that comes and goes), or pain at night but not during the day, or pain when hungry but not when full, or spontaneous pain that ceases upon pressure. These are all characteristics of pain in Yin syndromes. Symptoms may include spitting clear saliva, a preference for hot drinks, craving for food, a desire to lie wrapped in blankets, a bluish complexion, cold hands and feet, a dry-free mouth, and non-sticky phlegm. For such conditions, cold-natured medicines must not be used. I have a prescription with extremely effective results, named Anfu Zhitong Dan (Peace the Abdomen and Stop Pain Pill). The brilliance of this formula lies in the use of Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) to soothe the Liver and prevent Liver Wood from overacting on Spleen Earth. It is further assisted by agents that strengthen the Spleen, resolve dampness, transform phlegm, and digest food. When harmonized properly, it naturally yields miraculous effects. If parasites are present, they will also be subdued and restrained so as not to cause pain, largely because Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi) has the inherent property of killing parasites.
In contrast, pain belonging to Yang syndromes is invariably heavier during the day and lighter at night. The pain is severe and cannot tolerate pressure; eating exacerbates the pain. The mouth is invariably thirsty, phlegm is yellow, eyes are red, the tongue is dry, and the extremities are paradoxically cold and trembling. Stool is hard, and urine is yellow-red with difficult urination. These are all manifestations of Fire pathogenic factors acting up, along with undigested parasites and food retention. Such conditions may arise from anger and frustration, drunkenness, or excessive consumption of fried, roasted, and grilled foods. The treatment should not involve forcibly suppressing the condition with cold medicines. I have another prescription, which is most excellent in its efficacy, named Qingjie Zhitong Dan (Clear and Resolve Pain-Stop Pill). This formula is also brilliant in its use of Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra/Alba), as pain syndromes cannot be harmonized without Shaoyao. Therefore, it must serve as the Jun (Emperor/Monarch) herb. Provided that the Chen (Minister), Zuo (Assistant), and Shi (Envoy) herbs are appropriately matched, why worry about the astringent nature of Shaoyao? Using Shaoyao as the Jun herb while attacking pathogens exemplifies the strategy of "simultaneous suppression and pacification," naturally establishing a position of invincibility. To attack diseases that must be dispersed, how could one fail to achieve miraculous results?
Although abdominal pain is a minor ailment, distinguishing between Yin and Yang is paramount. Many people suffer from serious illnesses later because they treat minor ailments incorrectly. This is precisely why I do not shy away from the trouble of transmitting knowledge on abdominal pain.
