Treating Diarrhea with Laxatives
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Using purgative drugs to treat disorders characterized by discharge, such as diarrhea. This is because such diarrhea is caused by 'accumulation and stagnation' (e.g., from eating contaminated food). Only by expelling the stagnation (through purgation) can the diarrhea cease.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Follow the trend and guide it. Don't plug the hole when you see one (i.e., don't stop diarrhea). If flooding is caused by garbage blockage, you need to dredge the blockage (purgation) rather than build a dam (to stop diarrhea).
Anchor fast decisions
One of the contrary treatments: using drugs or therapies that are similar to the manifestation of the disease (e.g., using purgatives to treat diarrhea due to excess). This is because behind the false appearance lies true stagnation.
