Physicians do not recognize this syndrome, but when they see diarrhea, they exhale. Fistula disease is a disease caused by cold, and using hot medicine to stop it is like holding firewood to put out a fire, causing many deaths. However, it is not known that the heat evil spreads in the stomach, and the stomach is dry and solid. This benefit is not caused by internal cold. It is called Zhu fluid retention decoction and it is beneficial. It is called drastic purgation. If the body has heat syndrome, this soup should be used; if the body does not have heat, Qian Liuyi Shunqi Decoction should be used."

Although the three-dimensional Qi is gathered in one side, it cannot be used to encourage stomach qi. The clouds can stir up clouds and cause rain.
