蛇床子、苦楝树根各三钱，防风二钱，生甘草一钱，皂角五分，共为细末，炼蜜成条，
塞粪门，听其自化，一二次即止痒而愈，真神方也。幼时被人戏弄，致有此疾者，尤为效验
连须葱头三个，姜一块，盐一钱，豆豉十余粒，捣作饼，烘热，敷脐中，捆定良久，气
通即愈。不通，再敷必效。
又方∶食盐炒热，填脐眼，艾火烧五次，即通。
又方∶凡大便不通，多因寒热不清，用老姜寸许，如指头大，加纸包裹，火内煨热，取
出蘸麻油塞粪门内，快则半日，迟则一日，必通。此方最妙，不可轻视。
又方∶张仲景《伤寒论》云∶阳明病，自汗，小便反利，大便不通者，津液内竭也。用
蜜二合，铜器中微火煎之，乘热捻作条，大如指，长寸半许，候冷，涂油，纳粪门中，少顷
即通。或加皂角、细辛，为末，少许和蜜作条，其效尤速，屡试如神。

又方∶有人大便里急不通，小便短涩而黄，以泻火通利之药总不见效，后服六味地黄汤
加附子一钱，肉桂五分，一服而愈。此因虚寒，气不传送故也。凡患此症，审明如非实火，
宜照此服之，必能见效。愈后宜服金匮肾气丸，无好肉桂，以炮姜代之。六味、金匮各方，
均见内外备用诸方。
蛇床子、苦楝树根各三钱，防风二钱，生甘草一钱，皂角五分，共同研磨成细末，用炼蜜制成条状，塞入肛门，任其自行融化，使用一到两次即可止痒痊愈，真是神奇的方剂。如果是幼时被人戏弄导致患有此疾的，疗效尤为显著。
治疗小便不通的外治各种方法，凡是遇到大便闭结的情况，无论是虚证还是热证，都可以通用。
带须葱头三个，生姜一块，盐一钱，豆豉十余粒，捣碎做成饼状，加热后敷在肚脐中，捆扎固定一段时间，气机通畅即愈。如果仍不通，再次敷贴必定有效。
另一个方子：食盐炒热，填入肚脐眼，用艾火烧灼五次，即可通畅。
又一个方子：凡是导致大便不通，多因寒热不清所致，取长约一寸的老姜，粗细如手指，用纸包裹，在火中煨热，取出蘸取麻油塞入肛门内，快的话半天，慢的话一天，必然通畅。这个方子最为奇妙，不可轻视。
又一个方子：张仲景《伤寒论》中说：阳明病（六经病之一，主要涉及胃肠实热），自汗出，小便反而通利，大便不通的，是津液内部枯竭所致。用蜂蜜二合，在铜器中以微火煎煮，趁热捏成条状，大小如手指，长度约一寸半，待冷却后，涂抹油脂，纳入肛门中，片刻之后即可通畅。或者加入皂角、细辛，研成粉末，取少许与蜂蜜混合制成条状，效果尤其迅速，多次尝试灵验如神。
又一个方子：松子仁、柏子仁、芝麻（均去除油脂）各等分，研磨成泥状，用白蜡调和制成梧桐子大小的丸药。每次服用五十丸。
又一个方子：苏子、芝麻各一半，合在一起研磨极细，用水再次研磨，取汁一碗煮粥食用。这个方子最为稳妥，效果灵验如神。凡是老人气虚，或久病、或产后不能用药物的，使用此方更加巧妙。
又一个方子：有人大便里急后重且不通畅，小便短少涩滞且颜色黄，使用泻火通利的药物总不见效，后来服用六味地黄汤（滋阴补肾的基础方）加附子一钱，肉桂五分，服用一次即痊愈。这是因为虚寒，气机无法传送的缘故。凡是患此症状，仔细审察确认如果不是实火，应该按照此法服用，必定能见效。痊愈后宜服用金匮肾气丸（温补肾阳的名方），如果没有好的肉桂，可以用炮姜代替。六味地黄汤、金匮肾气丸各方，均见于内外备用诸方之中。
Suanmu (Cnidium Fruit), 3 qian; Qulou Shugen (Root Bark of Toosendan Tree), 3 qian; Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), 2 qian; Sheng Gancao (Raw Licorice Root), 1 qian; Zaojiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit), 5 fen. Grind all ingredients into a fine powder, mix with refined honey to form suppositories, insert into the anus, and allow them to melt naturally. Itching will cease and healing will occur after one or two applications; this is truly a miraculous formula. It is particularly effective for cases caused by childhood pranks or teasing.
External treatment methods for urinary retention can be universally applied to constipation, regardless of deficiency or heat patterns.
Three scallion heads with roots, one piece of ginger, 1 qian of salt, and more than ten grains of Douchi (Fermented Soybeans). Pound these ingredients into a cake, warm it, apply to the umbilicus, and secure tightly for a while. Once the qi flows freely, recovery occurs. If still obstructed, reapplication will surely be effective.
Another prescription: Stir-fry table salt until hot, fill the umbilicus with it, and moxa-burn five times to restore patency.
Yet another prescription: Constipation often results from unclear cold-heat dynamics. Take an old ginger slice about one cun long and finger-thick, wrap it in paper, roast it in fire until hot, remove, dip in sesame oil, and insert into the anus. Patency will be achieved within half a day at the fastest, or one day at the slowest. This formula is excellent and should not be underestimated.
Another prescription: Zhang Zhongjing's *Shanghan Lun* states: In Yangming disease (a syndrome characterized by excess heat in the stomach and intestines), spontaneous sweating and frequent urination indicate that body fluids are exhausted internally. Use two he of honey, simmer gently in a copper vessel, shape into suppositories while hot (size of a finger, length approx. 1.5 cun), let cool, coat with oil, and insert into the anus. Passage will occur shortly thereafter. Alternatively, add Zaojiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit) and Xixin (Asarum Root), grind into powder, mix a small amount with honey to form suppositories; the effect is even faster, proving reliable through repeated trials.
Another prescription: Songziren (Pine Seed Kernel), Baiziren (Biota Seed), and Zhima (Sesame Seed) [all defatted] in equal parts. Grind into a paste, bind with white beeswax into pills the size of a Chinese quince seed. Take 50 pills per dose.
Another prescription: Su Zi (Perilla Fruit) and Zhima (Sesame Seed) in equal halves. Grind extremely finely, then process with water to extract juice. Boil one bowl of this juice with rice to make porridge and eat. This formula is very safe and highly effective. It is especially suitable for the elderly with qi deficiency, those with chronic illness, or postpartum women who cannot tolerate strong medications.
Another prescription: A patient suffered from tenesmus and constipation, accompanied by scanty, dark yellow urine. Medications for purging fire and promoting diuresis were ineffective. Later, Liuwei Dihuang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) was administered with Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root) 1 qian and Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) 5 fen, resulting in cure after one dose. This was due to deficiency-cold causing failure of qi transmission. For such symptoms, if solid heat is ruled out upon careful examination, this method should be followed for guaranteed efficacy. After recovery, Jinkui Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill from the Golden Cabinet) should be taken. If high-quality Rougui is unavailable, Paojiang (Prepared Ginger) may substitute. Both Liuwei Dihuang Tang and Jinkui Shenqi Wan formulas are detailed in other internal and external reference texts.
