凡是患肠痈必须从内部消散，而火邪非常急迫，不是杯水车薪所能解救的，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，如果用量少则无效了。
Coughing exacerbates the pain; pressing with hands or rapid breathing also causes pain. Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix) and Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber), each two liang, Jin Di Luo (Ardisia Japonica Root), and Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), each one liang, Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix) and Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus), each five qian, are decocted in water and taken orally. One dose yields immediate effect, and three doses result in complete recovery.
Xuan Shen four liang, Mai Dong, Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), and Gan Cao, each four liang, are decocted and taken orally. This prescription is the most stable.
Use Niu Kou Ci Gen (Zi Jin Nan root/bark), remove the coarse bark, decoct strongly into a pot of liquid, mix with raw fermented rice wine (Jiu Niang), and take orally; this is extremely effective.
Another method: Use an old duck of many years' age, grind Bai Ji (Bletillae Rhizoma) one liang into powder, stuff it into the duck's abdomen, steam until thoroughly cooked, and consume the duck meat along with the Bai Ji powder and broth; this can tonify the damage caused by lung abscess perforation.
Da Qing Ye tree root bark is ground into powder, boiled with meat, and eaten several times to achieve cure.
Regardless of whether pus has formed or not, Zhe Mu Er (Zhe Huang / Lichen) is ground into powder, mixed with Bai Cao Shuang (soot from kitchen chimney) two qian, and made into pills the size of paulownia seeds using paste from aged rice. Take thirty pills washed down with rice drink.
Da Huang Dou (Soybean) two sheng, Da Ma Zi (Hemp Seed) three sheng, are fried until fragrant and ground into powder. Take one ge per dose, swallowed with rice meal, four or five times a month. Pregnant women should avoid this.
Zhu She (Pig tongue) is boiled with five flavors (seasonings) to make juice for consumption.
Bai Yang Rou (White mutton) two jin is chopped finely, cooked together with Liang Mi (Millet) one sheng, seasoned with five flavors to make porridge/rice.
Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) three liang, Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) two liang, Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber) (heart removed), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), each one liang, Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) three qian, Yi Mi (Coicis Semen) five qian, are decocted in wine and taken orally.
Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) three liang, Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Che Qian Zi (Plantaginis Semen), Liu Ji Nu (Artemisiae Annuae Herba), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), each three qian, Fu Ling (Poria), Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), each one liang, Shang Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus) one fen, are taken; three doses yield cure.
If a patient presents with spasms in one leg and foul breath, this indicates intestinal abscess. Use Sang Shu Jie Lei (Mulberry fruit) one piece, grind with aged rice vinegar to extract juice, and take orally; toxins will be purged via diarrhea. Immediately thereafter, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) must be taken urgently to prevent Qi collapse; this method is miraculous.
Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix) one jin is decocted in ten bowls of water until reduced to three bowls. Then, add Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), each two liang, and decoct further until reduced to one bowl. Take one dose to eliminate the condition; it is extremely miraculous.
Another method: Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) eight liang is decocted in ten bowls of water until reduced to two bowls. Then, add Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) three liang, Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix) one liang, Yi Ren (Coicis Semen) five qian, also decocted in ten bowls of water until reduced to two bowls. Mix the two juices evenly, divide into two doses: one in the morning, one before sleep. Two doses result in complete recovery.
For all cases of intestinal abscess, internal resolution is necessary. Since the fire pathogen is extremely urgent, a small amount of water cannot save the day; large doses are required for efficacy. However, large doses of detoxifying herbs may damage Yuan Qi (Original Qi). Only Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) clears toxicity while simultaneously nourishing Yin, so it can be used in heavy doses; if the dose is small, it will be ineffective.
