瀉藥 [xie yao]—Purgatives.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
瀉藥 [xie yao]—Laxative (泻药 [xie yao]) — An orally administered purgative drug (下剂药 [xia ji yao]). Huilin Yinyi (慧琳音义 [hui lin yin yi]), Volume 63, states: "Laxatives are used to eliminate accumulated heat (积热 [ji re]) from the five zang organs (五脏 [wu zang]) and intestines/stomach (肠胃 [chang wei]), as well as undigested old food (宿食不消 [su shi bu xiao]). They use medicinal decoctions (药汤 [yao tang]) to remove dregs and stagnation (滓滞 [zi zhi]), allowing the body's qi (体气 [ti qi]) to flow smoothly. Examples include modern-day Da Huang (大黄 [da huang]), Pu Xiao (樸消 [pu xiao]), Ba Dou (巴豆 [ba dou]), and Xi Jiao (犀角 [xi jiao])."
瀉藥—【飲食】下劑藥也。慧琳音義六十三曰：「瀉藥，為除五臟腸胃積熱及宿食不消故，以藥湯除去其滓滯，令體氣通暢，即如今之大黃樸消巴豆犀角等是也。」
