半夏（一斤，制） 甘草（炙） 附子 肉桂 干姜（各五钱） 良姜（二钱五分）
每服三钱。
水泻澄澈清冷者，此方主之。
浆水者，泻利浆水而澄澈也。河间云∶水液澄澈清冷，皆属于寒。寒者温之，故是方率
用辛温之剂。析而论之，半夏、炙草，可使健脾，脾健则能防水矣；干姜、附子，可使回阳，
阳
炒白术（三两） 炒芍药（二两） 防风（一两） 炒陈皮（一两半）
痛泻不止者，此方主之。
泻责之脾，痛责之肝；肝责之实，脾责之虚。脾虚肝实，故令痛泻。是方也，炒术所以
健脾炒芍所以泻肝，炒陈所以醒脾，防风所以散肝。或问痛泻何以不责之伤食？余曰∶伤食
腹痛，得泻便减，今泻而痛不止，故责之土败木贼也。
五味子（二两，炒香） 吴茱萸（五钱，炒）
共为末，每服二钱。
肾虚，子后泄泻者，此方主之。
肾主二便，开窍于二阴，受时于亥子，肾脏虚衰，故令子后常作泄泻。五味子有酸收固
涩之性，炒香则益肠胃；吴茱萸有温中暖下之能，炒焦则益命门。命门火旺，可以生土，土
生则泄泻自止；酸收固涩，可以生津，津生则肾液不虚。
椒红（炒） 桑螵蛸（炙） 龙骨（火 存性） 山茱萸（炒） 附子（炮） 鹿茸（酒
蒸，焙）
肾脏虚寒，大便滑泻者，此方主之。
虚者，肾精不足也；寒者，命门火衰也。肾主二便，肾脏虚寒则不能禁固，故令大便滑
泻。味浓为阴中之阴，故用山茱萸、鹿茸以益肾家之阴；辛热为阳中之阳，故用椒红、附子
以壮命门之火；味涩可以固脱，故用螵蛸、龙骨以治滑泻之脱。
半夏（一斤，经过炮制） 甘草（炙烤） 附子 肉桂 干姜（各五钱） 高良姜（二钱五分）
每次服用三钱。
对于大便稀薄如水、清澈寒冷的症状，此方为主治方。
所谓“浆水”，是指排泄物像浆水一样清澈寒冷。刘河间说：体液清澈寒冷，都属于寒证。寒证应当用温法治疗，所以这个方子主要使用辛温的药物。分析其药理，半夏和炙甘草可以健脾，脾功能强健就能防止水湿泛滥；干姜和附子可以回阳救逆，阳气恢复……
炒白术（三两） 炒芍药（二两） 防风（一两） 炒陈皮（一两半）
对于腹痛且腹泻不止的症状，此方为主治方。
腹泻的责任在于脾，疼痛的责任在于肝；肝的责任是实证，脾的责任是虚证。脾虚而肝实，所以导致痛泻。这个方子中，炒白术用来健脾，炒芍药用来泻肝（柔肝），炒陈皮用来醒脾，防风用来疏散肝气。有人问：为什么痛泻不归咎于伤食？我说：伤食引起的腹痛，在排便后会减轻，现在虽然腹泻但疼痛不止，所以归咎于土败木贼（脾虚肝旺）。
五味子（二两，炒香） 吴茱萸（五钱，炒）
共同研磨成粉末，每次服用二钱。
对于肾虚，且在半夜（子时）后发生泄泻的症状，此方为主治方。
肾主管大小便，开窍于前后二阴，在亥时和子时受令。肾脏虚衰，所以导致半夜后经常发生泄泻。五味子具有酸收固涩的性质，炒香后能益肠胃；吴茱萸具有温中暖下的功能，炒焦后能益命门。命门火旺盛，可以生助脾土，土气充足则泄泻自然停止；酸收固涩，可以生津液，津液生成则肾液不虚。
椒红（炒） 桑螵蛸（炙烤） 龙骨（火烧存性） 山茱萸（炒） 附子（炮制） 鹿茸（酒蒸，焙干）
对于肾脏虚寒，大便滑脱不禁的症状，此方为主治方。
虚，是指肾精不足；寒，是指命门火衰。肾主管大小便，肾脏虚寒则不能固摄，所以导致大便滑泻。味道浓厚属于阴中之阴，所以使用山茱萸、鹿茸来补益肾家的阴；气味辛热属于阳中之阳，所以使用椒红、附子来壮旺命门之火；味道涩可以固脱，所以使用桑螵蛸、龙骨来治疗滑泻导致的脱证。
Pinellia Rhizoma (one jin, processed) Licorice Radix et Rhizoma (roasted with honey) Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata Cinnamon Ramulus Zingiberis Rhizoma (each five qian) Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma (two qian and five fen)
Take three qian per dose.
This formula is indicated for diarrhea characterized by watery, clear, and cold stools.
"Jiangshui" refers to diarrhea resembling Jiangshui (fermented grain water), which is clear and cold. He Jian stated: Fluids that are clear and cold all belong to Cold syndrome. For Cold syndromes, warming methods should be used; therefore, this formula primarily employs acrid-warm agents. Analyzing its pharmacology: Pinellia Rhizoma and roasted Licorice Radix et Rhizoma can strengthen the Spleen; when the Spleen is strong, it can prevent water-dampness from overflowing; Dried Ginger and Prepared Aconite Root can restore Yang...
Stir-baked Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (three liang) Stir-baked Paeoniae Radix Alba (two liang) Saposhnikoviae Radix (one liang) Stir-baked Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (one and a half liang)
This formula is indicated for intractable abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea.
The responsibility for diarrhea lies with the Spleen, while the responsibility for pain lies with the Liver; the Liver's condition is Excess, and the Spleen's condition is Deficiency. Spleen Deficiency combined with Liver Excess leads to painful diarrhea. In this formula, stir-baked Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma strengthens the Spleen; stir-baked Paeoniae Radix Alba drains (softens) the Liver; stir-baked Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium awakens the Spleen; Saposhnikoviae Radix disperses Liver Qi. One might ask: Why is painful diarrhea not attributed to food stagnation? I reply: Abdominal pain due to food stagnation alleviates after defecation. Since diarrhea here is accompanied by unrelieved pain, it is attributed to "Earth failing and Wood encroaching" (Spleen Deficiency with Liver Hyperactivity).
Schisandrae Fructus (two liang, stir-fried until fragrant) Evodiae Fructus (five qian, stir-fried)
Grind together into powder. Take two qian per dose.
This formula is indicated for Kidney Deficiency causing diarrhea occurring after midnight (Zi hour).
The Kidney governs urination and defecation, opening into the two orifices, and receives influence during Hai and Zi hours. When the Kidney is deficient and weak, it causes frequent diarrhea after midnight. Schisandrae Fructus has sour-astringent properties; stir-frying enhances its benefit to the Stomach and Intestines. Evodiae Fructus has the function of warming the Middle and lower heating the Lower Jiao; charring enhances its benefit to the Gate of Vitality (Mingmen). When the fire of the Gate of Vitality is vigorous, it generates Earth (Spleen); when Earth is sufficient, diarrhea naturally stops. Sour-astringency generates fluids; when fluids are generated, Kidney essence remains abundant.
Zanthoxyli Pericarpium (stir-fried) Mantis Oötheca (roasted) Dragon Bone (burned to retain nature) Corni Fructus (stir-fried) Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata (processed) Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum (steamed in wine, baked)
This formula is indicated for slippery diarrhea due to Kidney Deficiency-Cold.
Deficiency refers to insufficiency of Kidney Essence; Cold refers to decline of the fire of the Gate of Vitality. The Kidney governs urination and defecation; when the Kidney is deficient and cold, it fails to secure and hold, leading to slippery diarrhea. Substances with rich flavors belong to Yin within Yin; therefore, Corni Fructus and Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum are used to tonify Kidney Yin. Acrid-hot substances belong to Yang within Yang; therefore, Zanthoxyli Pericarpium and Prepared Aconite Root are used to strengthen the fire of the Gate of Vitality. Astringent flavors can secure collapse; therefore, Mantis Oötheca and Dragon Bone are used to treat the collapse associated with slippery diarrhea.
