Fang Yi

This syndrome is mostly caused by damp-heat stagnation in the intestines and imbalance of Qi and blood. The treatment is mainly to clear away heat and dampness, and regulate Qi and blood. Damp-heat flows down to the large intestine, stagnates with qi and blood, turns into pus and blood, and causes red and white dysentery. Blockage of qi in the intestines causes abdominal pain and tenesmus. Burning sensation in the anus, short and red urine, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and a stringy and rapid pulse are all signs of internal damp-heat. In the prescription, Scutellaria baicalensis and Coptis chinensis are bitter and cold in nature, enter the large intestine meridian, and are good at clearing away heat, drying dampness and detoxifying, so as to eliminate the cause of the disease, and are the main medicine. The main use of peony is to nourish blood and nourishment, relieve acute pain, and is matched with angelica to nourish blood and promote blood circulation, which embodies the meaning of "if the blood circulates, the pus in the stool will heal itself", and can also take into account the concerns about damp-heat evil toxins fumigating the intestinal collaterals and damaging the yin and blood; costus root and areca nut promote qi and remove stagnation, "if the qi is adjusted, the heaviness in the lower back will be removed", the four medicines are matched to harmonize qi and blood, and they are the assistant medicines. Rhubarb is bitter, cold and sinks, and when combined with Scutellaria and Coptis chinensis, it has the effect of clearing away heat and dampness. When combined with Angelica dahurica and Paeonia lactiflora, it has the effect of invigorating blood circulation and promoting qi. Its purgative and bowel-opening effects can expel accumulated dampness and heat through the stool, embodying the method of "clearing the cause and treating the same thing with the same medicine". The prescription uses a small amount of cinnamon bark, which has the pungent, hot and warming nature, and can help angelica root and white peony root to circulate blood and nourish the body, and can also prevent vomiting and drug refusal, thus serving as both an adjuvant and an anti-adjuvant. Roasted licorice root is a harmonizing medicine for the middle-Jia people. When paired with peony root, it can relieve pain and also serve as an adjuvant. The combination of these medicines can remove dampness, clear heat, and harmonize qi and blood, so diarrhea can be cured.
