Ancient Chinese medical texts from the 4th century CE describe using fresh or fermented human stool to treat severe diarrhea, food poisoning, and abdominal disease. This remedy—sometimes called “yellow soup”—was administered orally and intended to restore gut balance. Modern research confirms these records and identifies them as early examples of microbiome-based therapy.

📜 What the historical sources say
1. Ge Hong (葛洪) and early documentation
• In the Eastern Jin dynasty (approx. 300–400 CE), Ge Hong’s Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang recorded treating food poisoning and severe diarrhea by having patients ingest human fecal suspensions.

2. “Yellow Soup” / Huanglong Decoction (黄龙汤)
• Modern scholarship shows that one of the historical variants of Huanglong Decoction was indeed a fecal-liquid preparation (“粪汁黄龙汤”).
PubMed
• Over centuries, the formula evolved into many non-fecal herbal versions, but the earliest type included fecal material.
3. Systematic review of fecal medicines
• A 2019 systematic review identified 54 fecal-based medicines across Chinese medical traditions, used for gastrointestinal, neurological, dermatological, and gynecological conditions.

🧬 Modern Parallels: FMT Today
Modern fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a validated therapy for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, with cure rates often above 80–90% in clinical trials.

The conceptual continuity is clear:
• Ancient practice: restore gut balance using fecal material from a healthy person.
• Modern practice: restore gut microbiota using screened, processed donor stool.
