【附论】
痢疾之后不能进食，是由于脾胃虚弱，气机逆乱于胸中所致。风邪侵入肠胃导致痢疾，痢疾使得水谷精微大量消耗，脾胃因而虚弱。痢疾停止后，脾胃依然虚弱，无法承受食物的负担。邪气与正气相搏结，气机上逆则导致胃气虚弱而不能进食。下痢且口噤不能饮食（噤口痢），虽然病位主要在脾胃，但更是因为热气闭阻心胸所致。世俗常用木香治疗，却失之于温燥；用山药治疗，却失之于收敛闭塞。唯有使用真料制作的参苓白术散，加入石菖蒲，并用道地产的粳米煮成的米汤，趁热调服。或者用人参、茯苓、石莲子肉，加入少许菖蒲给患者服用。一旦胸中气机通畅，自然就会想要进食。

治疗噤口痢非常妙
用石莲不拘多少，不炒，剥去壳，将肉和心研为粉末。每次服用二钱，用陈米汤调下，便觉得想要进食。此病是因为毒瓦斯上冲华盖（指心肺），心气不通，所以不能进食。服用此药后，心气通利，痢疾应当立刻排出而痊愈。如果未愈，再服用一剂痢药，再用日照东方墙壁上的土，炒真橘皮为粉末，加姜枣略煎作为佐助。
痢疾不能纳食，俗称为噤口。现在的人多用四柱散、理中汤、参苓散，加入肉豆蔻、木香，或者震灵丹等药物调理，恐怕不是正确的治法。应当以脉证来辨别。如果起初脾胃脉不弱，询问得知有头疼心烦，手足发热，未曾多服凉药的情况，这是毒瓦斯上冲心肝，所以呕吐而不进食。适宜使用败毒散，每次服用四钱重，加陈仓米一百粒，姜三片，枣一枚，水一盏半，煎至八分，温服。如果脉象微弱，或者心腹虚胀，手足厥冷，初病时不呕吐，因为服用罂粟或乌梅等涩药，以及服用凉剂太过，导致闻到食物就先呕吐，这是脾胃虚弱。用山药一味药，锉如小豆大小，一半在银铫内炒，一半生用，同为粉末，饭饮调下。陈庆长知县说，以前在南康做太守时，有一位五十岁左右的官员，患噤口痢，数日水浆不入。于是查阅同僚的医书，记载一种治疗方法，尝试使用。服用一次后痢疾稍减，三次后便索要粥食，一顿吃了半盏左右，从此痢止而安。这是只用山药一味药，效果神奇。
噤口痢
用萝卜片不拘新旧，用好蜜涂抹在片上，让患者含在口中，觉得味道淡了，再换一片含着，渐渐觉得想要进食。然后用肉煮粥，让患者闻香味并进食，再用平胃散调理为妙。
下痢湿中汤
用芍药半两，生姜一两，桂心半两，吴茱萸一百五十枚，切碎。用水三升，煮取一升，分两次服用。
又一方
用中等大小的附子一枚，炮制；中等大小的干姜三块，切碎。用水三升，煮取二升。体质强壮的人全部服下，体质虚弱的人服一半。不超过三四天即可痊愈。
又一方
用木鳖子，去壳捶烂，敷在脐中，用纸贴住，用绢帛缚紧。如果能进食，取下它。
治疗痢疾不进饮食，投以痢药则不能治愈。俗名噤口痢，十人中有九人会死。这是因为疫气传入脏腑。用人参败毒散，加陈糯米一百五十余粒，按常规方法煎服，立即痊愈。此方救活的人很多。凡是突然暴注下利，都是因为饮食不节，脾胃伤损，湿热水谷不分，洞然下行。夏季饮用冷水凉物过多所致。不可立即服用止泻药及湿热之剂，服用恐怕会导致里急后重，从而形成积痢。得效的方法如下。
肉豆蔻方：治疗痢疾腹痛不能进食。
用豆蔻一两去皮，用醋面包裹煨烤，以面熟为度。捣为散剂。随时用粥饮送服一钱。
仓廪散：治疗噤口痢有热，是毒瓦斯冲心即吐。
人参、茯苓、甘草、前胡、川芎、羌活、独活、桔梗、柴胡、枳壳、陈米（各等分）。以上药材细罗均匀，加姜、薄荷煎热服。
参苓白术散：治疗胃虚口噤。
白扁豆（姜汁浸炒去皮）、茯苓、山药、人参、甘草、莲肉、砂仁、桔梗、薏苡仁（炒，各二两）。以上药材用石菖蒲煎汤送下。也适宜用山药半炒为粉末，米饮送下。适宜吃生韭菜。
[Attached Discussion]
The inability to eat after dysentery is caused by the deficiency of the Spleen and Stomach, and the rebellion of Qi in the chest. Wind-pathogens entering the intestines and stomach cause dysentery; dysentery leads to a significant consumption of water and grain (nutrients), causing the Spleen and Stomach to become deficient. After the dysentery stops, the Spleen and Stomach remain weak and cannot withstand the burden of food. Pathogenic factors contend with healthy Qi, causing Qi to rebel upwards, leading to weak Stomach Qi and an inability to eat. Dysentery accompanied by locked mouth and inability to eat (Jinkou Li - Locked Mouth Dysentery), although primarily located in the Spleen and Stomach, is actually caused by heat qi blocking the chest and heart. Commonly used Mugwort (Muxiang) treatment fails due to its warmth; using Yam (Shanyao) treatment fails due to its astringency. Only authentic Shenling Baizhu San (Ginseng, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) added with Acorus (Shichangpu), taken with hot decoction of high-quality rice (Jingmi), is effective. Alternatively, using Ginseng (Renshen), Poria (Fuling), and Stone Lotus Seed Flesh (Shi Lianzi Rou) with a small amount of Acorus allows the patient to take it. Once the chest Qi opens up, the desire to eat will naturally return.

Treating Locked Mouth Dysentery is very effective
Use Shilian (Stone Lotus Seed) in any quantity, do not fry, remove shell, grind the flesh and heart into powder. Take 2 qian each time, mixed with aged rice drink. One will feel the desire to eat. This disease is caused by toxic vapors rushing upward to the Huagai (Heart and Lungs), blocking Heart Qi, hence the inability to eat. After taking this medicine, Heart Qi becomes smooth, dysentery should be expelled immediately and cured. If not cured, take another dose of dysentery medicine. Also, use soil from the eastern wall exposed to sunlight, fry Zhen Jupi (True Tangerine Peel) into powder, decoct slightly with Jiang (Ginger) and Zao (Date) as an adjunct.
Dysentery with inability to accept food is commonly called "Locked Mouth". Nowadays, people often use Sizhu San, Lizhong Tang, Shenling San, adding Doukou and Muxiang, or Zhenling Dan, etc., to regulate. This is likely incorrect treatment. One must differentiate based on pulse and symptoms. If initially the Spleen/Stomach pulse is not weak, and inquiry reveals headache, irritability, fever in hands and feet, and no history of excessive cooling medicine intake, this is toxic vapors rushing to the Heart and Liver, causing vomiting and refusal to eat. It is suitable to use Baidu San (Detoxification Powder). Take 4 qian per dose, add 100 grains of aged Cangmi (Storehouse Rice), 3 slices of Ginger, 1 Date, 1.5 cups of water, decoct to 0.8 cup, take warm. If the pulse is weak and thready, or there is abdominal distension and fullness, cold extremities, no vomiting initially, but vomiting at the smell of food due to excessive use of astringents like Yingsu (Poppy) or Wumei (Myrobalan), or excessive cooling agents, this is Spleen and Stomach deficiency. Use only Shanyao, cut into bean-sized pieces, half stir-fried in a silver pot, half raw, ground together into powder, taken with rice drink. Chen Qingchang, Magistrate, said: Previously serving as Prefect in Nankang, a fifty-year-old official suffered from Locked Mouth Dysentery, unable to take fluids for several days. He consulted a medical book from a colleague, found a treatment method, and tried it. After one dose, dysentery eased slightly; after three doses, he asked for porridge, eating about half a bowl. From then on, dysentery stopped and he recovered. Using only Shanyao has divine effects.
Locked Mouth Dysentery
Use Luobo (Radish) slices, regardless of new or old. Rub good honey onto the slices. Let the patient hold them in the mouth. When the taste fades, replace with a new slice. Gradually, the desire to eat returns. Then cook meat porridge, let the patient smell the aroma and eat. Follow up with Pingwei San (Calm the Stomach Powder) for best results.
Xiali Shizhong Tang (Dampness-Resolving Decoction for Dysentery)
Use Shaoyao (Peony Root) 0.5 liang, Shengjiang (Ginger) 1 liang, Guixin (Cinnamon Twig) 0.5 liang, Wuzhuyu (Evodia Fruit) 150 pieces, sliced. Add 3 sheng of water, boil to obtain 1 sheng. Divide into two doses.
Another Prescription
Use one medium-sized processed Fuzi (Aconite Root), three medium-sized pieces of sliced Ganjiang (Dried Ginger). Add 3 sheng of water, boil to obtain 2 sheng. Strong individuals take the whole dose; weak individuals take half. Cure within three to four days.
Another Prescription
Use Mugua (Mugua Fruit/Monkfruit), remove shell, crush thoroughly, apply to the umbilicus. Cover with paper and bind with silk cloth. Remove when able to eat.
Treating Dysentery with Inability to Eat: Administering dysentery medicines is ineffective. Commonly known as Locked Mouth Dysentery, nine out of ten cases are fatal. This is because epidemic pathogens have entered the viscera. Use Renshen Baidu San (Ginseng Detoxification Powder), add 150+ grains of aged Nuomi (Sticky Rice), decoct and take according to standard method. Immediate cure. This prescription has saved many lives. All sudden acute watery diarrhea is caused by irregular diet damaging the Spleen and Stomach, leading to indistinguishable damp-heat and food/water, flowing down violently. It is often caused by excessive consumption of cold water and cool foods in summer. Do not immediately administer antidiarrheal or damp-heat clearing agents, as this may lead to tenesmus and formation of accumulated dysentery. Effective methods are as follows.
Doukou Fang (Nutmeg Formula): Treats dysentery with abdominal pain and inability to eat.
Use 1 liang of Doukou (Nutmeg), remove skin, wrap in vinegar-dough, roast until dough is cooked. Grind into powder. Take 1 qian with gruel as needed.
Canglin San (Granary Powder): Treats Locked Mouth Dysentery with heat, where toxic vapors rush to the Heart causing vomiting.
Renshen, Fuling, Gancao, Qianhu, Chuanxiong, Qianghuo, Duhuo, Jiegeng, Chaihu, Zhike, Chenmi (equal parts). Sift evenly. Decoct with Ginger and Mint, take hot.
Shenling Baizhu San (Ginseng, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder): Treats Stomach deficiency with locked mouth.
Baibian Dou (White Hyacinth Bean, soaked in Ginger juice, fried, peeled), Fuling, Shanyao, Renshen, Gancao, Lianrou (Lotus Seed Flesh), Sharen (Amomum Fruit), Jiegeng, Yiyiren (Coix Seed, fried, each 2 liang). Decoct Shichangpu (Acorus) in water to take the medicine. Alternatively, use half-fried Shanyao ground into powder, taken with rice drink. Eating raw Chinese chives is beneficial.
