Intestinal carbuncle can include today’s acute and chronic appendicitis and periappendiceal abscess. This disease is mostly caused by the damage to the spleen and stomach due to the consumption of thick food, cold and cold food, and overeating, resulting in unfavorable gastrointestinal transmission and transformation functions and congestion of qi; or by the damage to the blood channels of the intestinal bowels due to rapid and violent running after a full meal or fall and injury, resulting in blood stagnation and heat in the intestinal bowels, resulting in blood defeat and flesh decay and carbuncle and pus. The Jin Kui Essentials: “intestinal carbuncle, less abdominal swelling and plumpness, press the pain like gonorrhea, urine from the regulation, sometimes fever, sweating, and vicious cold, the pulse is slow and tight pus has not yet become, can be lowered, when there is blood. The pulse is flooded by the pus has become, can not be down also. This is the main treatment for rhubarb and peony peel soup. In “The Essential Guide to the Golden Horoscope”, the intestinal carbuncle is a disease in which the body is wrong, the abdominal skin is urgent, the skin is moist and swollen, there is no accumulation in the abdomen, there is no heat in the body, and the pulse is counted. The above case is characterized by metastatic right lower abdominal pain with fever, pressure pain and rebound pain, which is undoubtedly diagnosed as intestinal carbuncle. This formula is based on the combination of Dahuang Mudanpi Tang and Semen Coicis and Fructus Abelmoschus.    In this formula, rhubarb can activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, clear heat and detoxify the toxin, and laxate and induce accumulation. Mangosteen can remove heat and relax the bowels, moisten dryness and soften hardness, clear fire and reduce swelling. Mudanpi, Paeonia lactiflora, and peach kernel cool the blood and detoxify it, while Chai Hu and Citrus aurantium dredge the liver and move the qi, which can promote the dissipation of abscesses. It is important to use raw Coix seeds to relieve dampness and swelling, and to use Fructus sanguinis to drain pus and break up blood to detoxify, while red vine and honeysuckle are important medicines for treating intestinal canker, which can clear heat and detoxify, invigorate blood and relieve pain. The role of the lesser herbs is threefold: (1) to help the coix seeds and septoria to resolve dampness; (2) to invigorate Yang Qi and prevent the coldness of the drugs from suppressing Yang Qi; (3) the herbs are good at walking and can be used in the flexure of the intestines. The “Justice of the Materia Medica” says that “the herb is good at walking, so it is a pure Yang medicine that passes through the twelve meridians.” Keywords: appendicitis, intestinal canker, damp-heat and poisonous intestinal tract.
