Jing Jie has a stronger diaphoretic function than Fang Feng. Jing Jie is acrid but mild,slightly warm but not drying, and depending on with what other herbs it is prescribed, disperses either wind-cold or wind-heat. Because the strength of Jing Jie is in dispelling wind, it treats various itching and dermatological disorders in which wind is the underlying cause. Charred Jing Jie stops bleeding.

Fang Feng dispels wind, cold and dampness. It relieves pain in the head, eyes, throat, body, and joints. It relieves arthritis caused by bi zheng (painful obstruction syndrome), or spasms, cramps or tetany from internal Liver wind.

Gao Ben (Rhizoma Ligustici) relieves arthritic pain,especially in the upper body. Gao Ben is best for vertex headaches.

Bai Zhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae), acrid and aromatic, addresses wind-cold characterized by frontal headaches, supra-orbital pain, toothache and nasal obstruction. Because it also dries dampness, Bai Zhi treats bi zheng (painful obstruction syndrome), dermatological disorders that involve swelling and pus, and lower abdominal coldness and pain with leukorrhea.

All four of these herbs treat wind-cold, a condition characterized by aversion to wind and cold, chills more prominent than fever, body aches, the absence of perspiration, a thin, white tongue coating and superficial, tight pulse. Additional uses include treatment of dyspnea, cough, wheezing, edema, bi zheng (painful obstruction syndrome), arthritis, and dermatological disorders including but not limited to sores and abscesses.

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Bai Zhi (angelica)
Li Gao: Angelica dahurica, general therapy for wind, its qi is aromatic, can pass the nine orifices, and is indispensable for perspiration.
Wang Haogu: Baizhi is used to treat nasal diseases with Xinyi and Asarum. If you use long muscles to enter the inner support, you can know that you will enter Yangming.
“Compendium“: Angelica dahurica, the color is white and the taste is pungent, and the active hand is Yangming; the nature is warm and the qi is thick, the active foot is Yangming; the fragrance is high, starting with the Taiyin Lung Meridian. Diseases such as the head, eyes, eyebrows, and teeth include wind-heat in the three meridians; diseases such as leakage, bandage, and carbuncle, damp and heat in the three meridians; wind-heat is pungent to dissipate, and damp-heat is warm to remove it. It is the main medicine of Yangming, so it can cure blood disease and fetal disease, and excrete pus to produce muscle and relieve pain. Cure nasal deep, epistaxis, tooth pain, brow and bone pain, large intestine constipation, urinary bleeding, women’s blood wind dizziness, stomach vomiting; relieving arsenic poison, snake wounds, sword and arrow gold sores.
“Materia Medica Shu“: Angelica dahurica has a spicy taste and non-toxic temperature. Its aroma is strong and it is also fragrant. Starting with foot yangming and foot lunar yin, qi points are removed, and blood points are removed. Ascends more than descends, and yang is also. Good-natured dispels wind and can eat pus, so the housewife misses the red and white. Xin is scattered, mild is used, and the fragrance enters the spleen, so the main blood is to block the yin and swell, cold and heat, and the head wind invades the eyes and tears. The spice disperses knots and enters the blood to relieve pain, so the skin is long. Fragrant and pungent, so it can moisturize. The spicy fragrance is warm and loose, so it can cure wind and evil for a long time, and wind can overcome dampness. The fragrance enters the spleen, so it relieves vomiting. It can treat wind pain in both sides, dizziness and itching of the head, and the effect of dispelling wind.
“Materia Medica Huiyan“: Angelica dahurica, the ascendant leader, the lower reaches the stomach and intestines, reaches the limbs, penetrates the skin and even the hair orifices, and relieves evil spirits. Such as headwind and headache, dizziness and dizziness; such as numbness of the limbs, weak feet and paralysis; such as sores and erosions, discharge of pus and long flesh; such as obstruction of the eyes, pain and redness; such as blood closure in women, swollen and leaky vagina; such as Pediatric acne can be cured by pruritus for itching. Angelica dahurica can cure it. The first Xing Wei Xin San, such as headache, paralysis, eye, leakage, carbuncle ulcers, etc., not due to rheumatism and cold pathogens, but due to yin deficiency and qi weakness, and yin deficiency fire, all are forbidden.
“Hundred Kinds of Materia Medica“: For all medicines that drive wind, there is no one that does not consume semen, Angelica dahurica is extremely fragrant, can drive wind and dry dampness, its quality is extremely smooth, can harmonize blood, but not wear it, use it It is beneficial to those who are harmless. The ancient people used medicine not only knew the strength of the medicine, but also the shortcomings of the medicine, and then the blood of the person, the symbol of the disease, participated in the research and research, and determined the choice, so it can have obvious effects without hidden harm, this scholar’s place Heartbroken too.
“Pursuing the Truth of Materia Medica“: Angelica dahurica has strong temperature and can help to relieve dampness. It is the main medicine for removing wind and dampness in the Foot Yangming Jing. Therefore, it can cure all head and face diseases in Yangming, such as head faint pain, bone pain in the eyebrows, gum bone pain, and black-faced scars. In addition, the wind-heat takes on the lungs, flashes upwards in the brain, and seeps into deep tears; moves to the large intestine, and becomes bleeding and bleeding, intestinal wind and hemorrhoids and fistula ulcer; wind and damp heat, which occur on the skin, become sore and itchy; both can Warm dissipating and relieve support, so that the wind of the law is cleared, the carbuncle that stays in the knot, the swelling and the potential disappears, and the wind is sincere, and the damp fire is also an essential medicine.
“Materia Medica Justice“: Angelica dahurica has a pungent and warm smell, very aromatic, and can dry out dampness most. The so-called long skin and moisturizing color in the “Jin Jing” means warming and nourishing. At first, it is not that it can cure external ulcers, which can grow muscles and grow meat; it is actually used to cure breast carbuncle, hair back, scrofula, and hemorrhoids. Fistulas, sores, and scabies are referred to as persistent blood, producing new blood, draining pus and relieving pain. Jie Gu is also said to cure the scalp, face, skin, wind, numbness, and itching. Near the lake, it is said to be white and pungent in taste, warm in nature, and the main medicine for Yangming. Carbuncle is Yangming damp-heat, and damp-heat can be eliminated by warmth, so it drains pus and produces muscles to relieve pain. It is said that the product of rising Xinwen Wen can cure cold and dampness, but must not cure damp heat. But ulcers are disease. There are more than nine out of ten people with dampness and heat, and less than one in ten people with cold and dampness. Hu can rule carbuncle ulcers and fight fire.

The sentence of “Rihuazi” to relieve pus and relieve pain is really out of nothing, and it is based on the principle of medicine. In addition, Jiegu’s so-called dry and itchy skin means fire and dampness, and he is safe to take this pungent medicine. The so-called damp and hot people on the edge of the lake are divided by one sentence, how can it be justified? In short, all the people who have failed to understand the theory and method of ulcer science are also the same.
Kou Zongxi’s “Yan Yi” stated that there is pus in the intestines under the treatment, and there is endless drenching. It is very dirty, and the cold and pain in the umbilical abdomen are all caused by the pus and blood. I call this disease one of the symptoms, cold dampness, stasis, stasis, interlocking, and cold pain in the umbilical abdomen, which are the confirmed symptoms of cold syndrome. Therefore, it is appropriate to use temperature rise and relieve blood stasis to consolidate astringent. Absence of pus is definitely not the excretion of ulcers. Why should it be arrogant as a comparison? If it is regarded as an essential medicine for purging pus, it will cause all kinds of ulcers to heat up, and it will be painful and unspeakable. After treating ulcers for more than 20 years, the decoction contains only dampness and no fire, which is occasionally used, but I dare not try it arbitrarily. If there is this in Ruyi Jinhuang San of the anti-swelling compress, take the pungent to loosen the ears. Daming also said to remove facial defects and scars, which is the meaning of facial fat in the “This Classic”. However, he thought that when treating red eyes and pterygium, the wind and fire would rise sharply, and Wen Xin rose to it. The lake near the lake is called treating the nasal abyss, and covering the nasal abyss is a symptom. There are three differences between wind-cold, wind-heat, and lung-heat stagnation. Wind-cold depresses its lung qi, and nasal congestion and mucus can raise Yang. If wind-heat and turbid nose are turbid, and lung-heat and yellow pus and smelly nose, Hu Ke generalizes. It is also said to treat epistaxis, tooth pain, eyebrow and bone pain, all Yangming heat upset is pain, the ancient method occasionally uses Angelica dahurica, originally added to the ejaculation agent, with the meaning of quoting meridians, but listed as special Article, equal to the main medicine of the king, isn’t it ridiculous! Angelica dahurica is pungent and warm, aromatic and dry, relieves wind and dispels cold, ascends the boss to clear the orifice, can also dry dampness and raise yang, reach the skin externally, and refresh the qi internally. Its function is similar to that of Chuanxiong and Ligusticum.
“This Classic” treats women with leakage of redness and whiteness, blood occlusion and yin swelling, all of which are the symptoms of clear sun sink, cold and dampness injury in the middle and lower, temperature rise and dryness are only suitable. If yin deficiency is not taken, or damp-heat is soaked, and for this disease, it is not a general cure. Headwind and eyes tears are also only the deficiency of Yang Qi, and those who multiply by wind-cold and wind-heat, the general can be in harmony, as the sun is prosperous and the wind-heat is invaded, it is difficult to use, and there are also yin deficiency and liver wood superior, too much to dredge , And those who face the wind and tears are even more undesirable. Skin growth and facial grease are the same as those of lily root.

“Bielu” cures wind evil, that is, it is said that wind-cold invades. If you are thirsty for a long time, Zhongol is said to be treated as a chronic diarrhea, very much. It is not suitable for thirst to dry dampness and promote clearness, vibrate the qi of Yangming, and cure chronic diarrhea. And no one in ancient and modern times has heard of using this to cure thirst. It is suitable for those who treat vomiting, the stomach yang is weak, and those who eat in and out are suitable, but the stomach is flaming, and it is irritating and can not be used. In the turmoil of Xianman is the wood, the qi of Shaoyang is overwhelming, and those who can’t manage it should be suitable, and those who suffer from inflammation of the liver and gallbladder and qi are forbidden. To treat wind pain and dizziness, it is also only the air of yang and harmony, and it does not spontaneously, but the person who is hit by the outside wind will always be in harmony.
“One Hundred One Selection of Prescriptions” Duliangwan is an experiment for Yang deficiency and wind dizziness. If Yin deficiency and qi fire float up to cause wind dizziness, it is not the same as Japanese.
“The Classic“: The main woman leaks red and white, blood occludes yin and swelling, cold and heat, limelight (head wind) invades the eyes and tears, grows skin, and moisturizes.
“Don’t Record“: Treat wind and evil for a long time (long-time thirsty or suspected chronic diarrhea), vomiting, full flanks, wind pain, dizziness, and itching.
“Medicinal Properties”: treats the irritation of blood in the heart and belly, eliminates wind pathogens, masters women’s bleeding and vomiting, improves eyesight, stops tearing, treats women’s bleeding, waist and abdomen pain; can eat pus.
“Rihuazi Materia Medica“: treatment of red pterygium, repairing fetal leakage, ruptured blood, replenishing new blood, breast carbuncle, hair back, scrofula, intestinal wind, hemorrhoids, pus, sores, scabies, Relieve pain and grow muscles, remove facial blemishes and scars.
“Southern Yunnan Materia Medica“: dispels the wind of the skin, relieves cold stomach pain, abdominal pain, cold pain, cold dampness and pain in the whole body. [5]

Ginger has a very strong sweating power. The Compendium of Materia Medica says: “It is used to diverge, and it is used to harmonize” [19]. It is used to express symptoms of cold, wind and cold. It is often used with other antiseptic drugs to enhance sweating, such as Jingfangbaidusan et al. [20]. If you have a mild cold, you can take it with ginger decoction and brown sugar alone, which can often be relieved by sweating. Ginger can also be used to prevent colds.

Warm to stop vomiting
“Theory of Medicine Properties” says that ginger “relieves vomiting without eating” [21]. Ginger can warm the stomach, reduce the adverse effect and relieve vomiting. It is used for wind-cold vomiting. It is often used with Pinellia decoction, such as Xiaobanxia Decoction [22]. Because ginger has a strong anti-vomiting power, it can also be used with Zhuru and Coptis for fever and vomiting, or it can be used alone.

Warming lungs and relieving cough
“Medicine Huayi” said that ginger “tongs the orifice to benefit the lungs, and relieves coughing.” Ginger is pungent and enters the lung meridian, so it can warm the lungs and dispel cold and relieve coughs. The spicy flavor can promote water vapor and reduce phlegm. It is used for coughs with cold and cold phlegm. But ginger is less effective than dry ginger in treating lung cold and cough [3].

In addition, ginger can relieve the poison of Pinellia ternata and southern star. It can be used for swelling and numbness of the throat and tongue caused by the poison of Pinellia ternata and southern star.

1. Effect on the digestive system: For dogs equipped with isolated small stomach and esophageal fistula, 50% decoction can be placed in the oral cavity, which can have a biphasic effect on the secretion of gastric acid and gastric juice. It was followed by a longer period of excitement. Infusion of 200ml of 25% decoction into the stomach showed excitatory effect. Isolate the small stomach dog and try to take 0.1-1.0g ginger, the secretion of gastric juice increases and stimulates the secretion of free hydrochloric acid, but the digestion effect of pepsin on protein is reduced, and the effect of lipase is enhanced. The extract can inhibit the vomiting of dogs caused by copper sulfate, and taking 10-50% 30ml of ginger juice is also effective, but 5% 30ml is not effective. The mixture of gingerone and gingerenone isolated from ginger also has an antiemetic effect.

⒄ “New Compilation of Materia Medica”: Mint, pungent, bitter, temperature, floating and rising, Yang also. Non-toxic. Enter the lung and envelop the two meridians, and enter the liver and gallbladder. Under the cold and fullness, it can relieve the stagnation of wind and evil, good at introducing medicine into the camp and guard, and it can reduce fever, but it can dissipate evil and consume qi, and it has the magic of resolving disputes with Chai Hutong. However, the world only knows to use Bupleurum, but people who don’t know how to use mint, use it in the cakes, it is not necessary for medicine.

① “Compendium”: Mint, Xinneng divergence, cooling energy and clear benefits, specializing in dissipating wind and heat. Therefore, headache, head wind, diseases of the eyes, throat, mouth and teeth, fever in children, and scrofula and scabies are essential medicines.

② “Materia Medica Sutra”: Mint is more pungent than bitter and non-toxic. Xin unites the lungs, the lungs unite the fur, bitterness unites the heart, but from cremation, the blood is the main body, the heat is the main body, and the yang. The evil of thieves and typhoid fever is on the surface, so sweating will relieve it. The wind and medicine properties are increased, and both are pungent and warm, so it can disperse evil and ward off evil. The spicy fragrance helps relieve the orifice, so it cures fullness of the abdomen and cholera. “Diet Therapy” is cited to be able to go to the heart’s home heat, so it is a medicine for children’s convulsions and wind-heat homes. The spicy fragrance goes away to pass the joints, so those who chase wind and sweat will relieve the wind from sweat. It’s not a home medicine for the spleen and stomach. Ascending, it is also difficult to control the breath; fatigue is empty, not dissipated and resolvable, and the three cures are not available. Also: Do ​​not take the patient’s Xinhu, because it is sweating and weak as a sign of Qi. If the cough is due to lung deficiency and cold, people who have no fever should not take it. Use it as a supplement to heal. People with yin deficiency should not take it with fever, sweating will exhaust their body fluids. Do not take beriberi typhoid fever, because the disease is the cause of the spleen. Blood deficiency and headache, other blood tonics are not available. Children with body heat are unavailable due to food injury, and children with body heat due to malnutrition are unavailable. Children with acne diagnosed with qi deficiency, although the body heats up at the beginning, it is also unavailable.

③ “Medicine Huayi”: Peppermint, Weixinneng San, cool and clear in nature, to benefit the six yang of the first, to get rid of all heat and wind evil. Take it to be sharp and light to clear, be good at head and face, use to treat aphonia, heal speech, and clear the throat. Same as Chuanxiong to reach the top to guide the stagnant heat. Take the qi fragrance to benefit the orifice, walk the muscle surface well, use to reduce edema, dissipate muscle heat, remove back pain, and introduce surface medicine into the Yingwei to relieve stagnant qi.

④ “New Edition of Materia Medica”: Mint, not particularly good at relieving wind and evil? Especially good at relieving depression, using incense to relieve depression, not better than using mint to relieve depression. The passage of peppermint into the liver and gallbladder can solve the evils of half the surface and half the inside, which is more light and clear than Bupleurum.

⑤”Materia Medica Seeking Truth”: Mint, with a pungent and cool smell, enters the liver and lungs. Therefore, the book contains Xin can disperse, but it is suitable for headache, head wind, fever and cold. Xin can ventilate, and treat nausea and phlegm in the stomach: cooling can clear heat, but in the throat, mouth and teeth, eyes, ears, and addictive rash , Sore scabies, shocking heat, steaming of bones, and blood in blemishes are wonderful. It is because the ancient prescription is used as a way to relieve depression and dissipate qi; children with epilepsy, use this as the ability to guide the wind; intestinal wind and blood dysentery, use this as a method for clearing qi and clearing benefits, but I dare not use it much, but I can’t use it. Two or three points, for fear of venting the true essence.

⑥ “Ben Jing Su Shu”: If you vomit, the fullness should be reduced, and if you breathe, the food should be enough, that is, it will not be reduced. It is also appropriate to treat the qi by leniently regulating the qi to eliminate the flow. Why is mint? Cool, there seems to be a generation of cardamom, who could have been able to regulate the qi in a lenient way, and also dissipate Gu Jiang. It is especially strong outward, unlike cardamom, which is hidden in its generation, so it focuses on spreading, but not focusing on the ear. Supposing that the evil food has been internally disturbed, but it is still rooted in the surface, then it is not a mint to untie its knots, but to play its roots outside, how can the surface and the inside be eliminated?

⑦ “Medical Integrity in Chinese and Western Records”: Mint flavor is pungent, qi is refreshing and fragrant, and nature is calm. Its power can penetrate the muscles and bones inside, reach out to the muscle surface, open up the viscera, run through the meridians, and take it for cold sweat. It is an essential medicine for those with febrile disease and sweating. If used sparingly, it is also good at reconciling internal injuries, treating liver-qi, gallbladder, fire, stagnation and pain, or liver-wind internal movement, sudden epilepsy, convulsions, headaches, eye pain, nasal obstruction, nasal congestion, pain, throat swelling and pain, limb spasm and pain , All the diseases of wind, fire and heat can be cured. It is also suitable for those who have exogenous dysentery at the beginning. Dispelling the evil of exogenous feeling is to clear the heat in the intestines, and the dysentery is easy to heal. It is also good at disinfecting bacteria to eliminate bad air. All cholera Sha syndromes are also needed for medicine. It tastes pungent and cool, and is good at expressing addictive rash, healing skin itching, and it is commonly used in pediatrics. Mint is used for sweating in febrile disease, and ephedra is used for sweating in typhoid fever. Neither “Benjing” nor “Bielu” were included in medicines until the Tang Dynasty, so the prescriptions of “Treatise on Febrile Diseases” did not use mint. However, a careful examination of the prescription of “Treatise on Febrile Diseases” found that mint was used in the prescription, because it was still not listed as a medicine at the time, that is, the prescription of mint was used and had to switch to another medicine. Try to take the prescriptions of “Shanghan”, such as ephedra in Maxing Ganshi Decoction, it is better to use mint instead. Gai Ma Xing Gan Shi Decoction, the original treatment of sweating without severe fever, no severe fever, there is still heat known, if there is heat, but still use ephedra, whichever is used to relieve the lungs and relieve asthma; but ephedra can To relieve the lungs and relieve asthma, peppermint can also relieve the lungs and relieve asthma (the pungent of peppermint can suppress the lung qi, and is good at searching for lung wind).

The pain of the head phoenix is ​​nothing more than the internal fire and the internal wind shaking constantly, and the chrysanthemum can cure it, and it is difficult to have this power if the chrysanthemum can cure it. If you want to get off your eyes, it is especially the worst of the wind in the liver yang. It is said that the head and phoenix are very painful. As for the mourning, those who are aware and have protruding eyes, shaped like a bird’s egg. The tears are also yin deficiency, the liver fire rises, and the true yin has no right to receive, while the wind yang is used for dredging, and the wind will tear down. This is the deficiency of the liver and kidney yin, and the floating yang is the abuse, but the chrysanthemum It clears the bitterness and relieves the descent, can absorb the deficiency of the yang and be included in the next, so it is the main medicine for the eye department. It also cures dead skin muscles and those who suffer from rheumatic arthralgia, the blood is hot and the collaterals are unclean, and gradually become rot with dirt. The chrysanthemum has painstaking efforts to propagate the collaterals, and can treat the heat toxins in the blood. Shi Wan said that he was clear and beneficial to the blood, but he was able to vent the damp evil, and he was very positive. However, this is a pure product of Chonghe. The turbid blood accumulated in the Qingjing tunnels is definitely not quick and ineffective, and there is no doubt that the “Jing” is not credible. “Bielu” said that Qia came to Taotao with low back pain, and it was said that it was a long-lasting state, that it was also due to insufficient kidney yin, and dampness and pathogenic arthralgia, so the pain continued. Chrysanthemum nourishes kidney yin and clears dampness and heat, so it is the master. It also cures the irritated heat in the chest and calms the stomach and intestines. Zhen Quan said that if the head winds down to the ground and the brain bones are painful, the liver-yang internal wind will have a headache, and the head will go straight up to the top, and the brain bones will be cracked. . It is also said to treat all the wind on the body, make it dissipate, and benefit the blood. Daming said that a pillow improves eyesight, and Ye also improves eyesight. Jie Gu said to nourish the eye blood and remove the haze. Hai Zang said that the master’s liver qi is insufficient. Gai also means nourishing liver yin and nourishing liver and blood. Although its smell is clear and fragrant, it is not a liver gas medicine. Zhongol is said to be the most effective treatment for boils, and blood line therapy is especially important. According to the boil, it is a fire poison, and it is not a large-scale solution. The external application of various medicines such as honeysuckle vine, portulaca, dandelion, grass, hibiscus leaves, green chrysanthemum leaves, etc., but it is not the responsibility of the master to clear away heat and reduce swelling. The bloodline boil called by Ying, the cover is red silk boil, with a trace of blush, running up from the sore, straight past the knee. The main treatment is to take internal medicine to clear solution. But knowing external governance is absolutely not to be relied upon.

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Niu Bang Zi (burdock fruit)
1. “Do not record”: eyesight to supplement the middle, in addition to wind injuries.

2. “Medicinal Properties”: In addition to wind, remove erysipelas, focus on improving eyesight, benefit waist and feet, and scattered nodules, muscles, bones, and heat toxins.

7. “Compendium”: Elimination of macula toxin.

8. “Ben Cao Jing Shu”: evil reality, essential medicine for dispelling wind, removing heat and detoxification. Xin can dissipate knots, bitterness will release heat, and heat build up will clear the visceral qi, so eyesight can be improved. Injured by the wind, the qi will suffocate, while the staleness will lead to heat, and the dissolution of Xinliang will show the harmony of qi, and the wind will leave nothing. Tibetan vessels are responsible for wind, poison, swelling, and swelling; the elements are responsible for moisturizing the lungs, dissipating qi, relieving the throat and diaphragm, removing the skin wind, and opening the twelve meridians, and they understand this meaning. Therefore, it is used to treat addictive rash and acne, and it has been particularly successful.

10. “Pursuing the Truth of Materia Medica”: Burdock seeds, today people stop talking and detoxify. Anyone who encounters sores, carbuncle, acne, etc., does not need to be treated with this, but it has not yet interpreted its meaning. The knot of poisonous qi in a mortal is often caused by the external feeling of wind and cold. Burdock tastes pungent and bitter. It can not only lower the qi, but also dispel wind and heat. It can experience swelling, coughing and phlegm, swelling and pain between the pharynx, sores and rashes, and all smells and rashes. Closure, acne, purple black, constipation and other symptoms, all use this expression to clear up the inside. However, the sex is cold and slippery, and if you take it more often, it will hurt your qi, and it will also make your performance unhealthy. As for diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, it is especially forbidden.

11. “Materia Medica Justice”: the use of burdock,

Burdock seed-original plant (Figure 3)
It can evacuate wind-heat and cause acne rashes, but those who are good at bowel movements, do not have heat, or have a weak temper. If they have diarrhea, they will suffer from hard venting, and the downward force will be more. Jiegu is warm, and Jingyue said that it rises while falling, which is not the true meaning. “Bielu” said it had better eyesight, but it was self-explanatory and self-explanatory. Those who make up for middle school will be self-satisfied with the heat away. In addition to wind injury, it is also called wind and heat. Its rhizomes are called bitter cold in the “Compendium” of the lake, and “Bielu” is mainly used to eliminate heat and benefit. To cover its skill, the original is similar to the child, but the heat-clearing and venting is the treatment for the sexual excesses of cold, cool and ventilating. Those who are suitable for the passage of lung evil, but not for suppression, such as measles at the beginning, still not venting, early surrender, there will always be the suppression of the Qi machine, and the risk of invagination. However, burdock can clear the vent, and it can be self-transmitting, and the disease of warm heat can pass the stool automatically, and it can also kill its force less. Therefore, burdock is the most special medicine for measles.

Pharmacology and Contemporary Research: Niu Bang Zi (burdock fruit)
The fruit contains arctiin, which is hydrolyzed to produce arctigenin and glucose. It also contains matairesinol, trachelogenin, sesquiligenan AL-D and AL-F. The seeds contain arctiin, lap-paol A, B, C, D, E, F, H. It also contains fatty oils, among which fatty acids are: arachic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid and linoleic acid.

Pharmacological action
Antibacterial and antiviral effect
The water extract of burdock seed (1:2) in the test tube against the cocoon-colored Trichophyton, Concentric Trichophyton, Xulan Flavus, Oduon Microsporum, Microsporum wool-like, and Epidermophyton inguinal Nine kinds of pathogenic fungi, including E. vulgaris, Epidermophyton rubrum, Nocardia stellate, and Sporphyton rust-colored, have antibacterial effects. There are data showing that burdock seed extract has anti-AIDS virus (HIv) activity.

Hypoglycemic effect
Burdock extract can significantly reduce blood sugar and improve carbohydrate tolerance in rats for a long time. Normal mice with 0.25% burdock

Chinese herbal medicine-burdock seed (Picture 5)
Diet or its decoction instead of drinking water for 28 days did not affect the glucose balance parameters in the mice, and for the streptococcal diabetic mice, burdock could aggravate the symptoms of diabetes.

Calcium antagonism
The guinea pig colon belt test proves. Trachelatin aglycone has obvious calcium antagonistic effect. It has an inhibitory effect on the contraction caused by high potassium. The PA2 value is 6.60, which is one-sixth of the commonly used calcium antagonist verapamil. It has a significant and long-lasting antihypertensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats by intravenous injection of 10mg/kg.

Effect on kidney disease
Intraperitoneal injection of aminonucleosides in rats causes nephropathy. Intraperitoneal injection of arctigenin can inhibit the increase in urine protein excretion and improve serum biochemical indicators, suggesting anti-nephrotic effects. Intraperitoneal injection of arctiin has almost no effect on the increase of protein excretion, but oral administration is effective. It may be hydrolyzed into arctigenin in the digestive tract to produce anti-nephrotic effects.

Anti-tumor and anti-mutagenic effect
An anti-mutagenic factor was isolated from burdock. The relative molecular mass is more than 300,000. Heat-resistant, protease-resistant, and sensitive to manganese chloride treatment.

Other effects
Arctiin can dilate blood vessels in the lower limbs of frogs and rabbit ears, temporarily lower blood pressure, and inhibit or paralyze the isolated rabbit uterus, intestines, motor nerves and collateral muscles. It has mild diuretic and diarrhea effects.

Treat diabetic nephropathy
The researchers used streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats as an animal model. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly to give them the feed of burdock seed powder, the extract of burdock seed water, and the alcohol extract for 6 weeks. In the experiment, the general condition of rats and the changes in urine protein, urine microalbumin and renal function were observed, and it was found that the extract of burdock seed can significantly improve the symptoms of polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss in STZ rats.

The study found that: MCP-1 is the most important cytokine that chemoattracts the infiltration of monocytes in tissues, and it is the main chemotactic factor that chemoattracts and activates macrophages. Studies believe that the infiltration of monocytes in the glomerulus is associated with the accumulation of extracellular matrix and the development of glomerulosclerosis. Research by Rovin et al. showed that the kidney can synthesize MCP-1 locally during DN, and MCP-1 is associated with renal small Ball injury related.

Experimental and clinical studies have shown that the expression and protein content of TGFp1mRNA in biopsy tissues of diabetic rats and patients with diabetic nephropathy are significantly increased, accompanied by kidney hypertrophy and extracellular matrix hyperplasia.

The results of the experiment show that each medication group can reduce the expression of TGF-plmRNA, and there are significant differences compared with the model group; the burdock seed alcohol-extracted treatment group and the burdock seed water-extracted group have no other comparisons with the normal group. The significant difference of burdock powder group is relatively large compared with the burdock powder group. Experiments have shown that it can prevent and treat diabetic nephropathy.

Stool effect

Burdock seed-original plant (Figure 7)
From the analysis of burdock seed’s taste and efficacy, its laxative mechanism mainly involves the following three aspects. One is to moisturize the intestines. Burdock seeds are the seeds of burdock, which are rich in oil and smooth in nature. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the main components of burdock are arctiin and fatty oil, which have the effect of moisturizing the intestines and laxatives. According to clinical experience, burdock seeds are hard and cold, and have a strong effect of smoothing the intestines. Therefore, for patients with constipation, they will not use rhubarb, mirabilite, and hemp seed, and reuse burdock 24g alone, which shows this meaning. Second, lowering lung qi. The lung governs the qi of the whole body, and the large intestine is the outer and inner sides. The passage of intestines and intestines depends on the promulgation of lung qi. If the lungs are unsuccessful, the large intestine will be unable to push forward, leading to the inability to pass the qi. Therefore, the lungs must be treated first for laxatives. Burdock seeds enter the lung meridian and can lower lung qi. For example, Zhang Xichun said: “Arctium burdock can reduce lung qi’s adverse effects”, “Suzi and burdock can also clear phlegm and reduce adverse qi, so that the adverse qi can go down” (“Medical Chinese and Western Records”). Using it to lax, there is a wonderful way of “lifting the pot and uncovering the lid”. The third is to reduce stomach qi. When the stomach qi goes down, the food residue is transferred to the large intestine, and then it becomes stool and is excreted from the body. The burdock seed enters the stomach meridian, “the pain and bitterness are reduced, and the downward force is more” (“Materia Medica”), which can reduce stomach qi and has the effect of gastric motility medicine. For example, Zhang Xichun said: “…so it is supplemented with stomach-reducing medicine, and the ocher, tangerine peel, and burdock in the prescription are also” (“Medical Chinese and Western Records”). In short, burdock seeds are cold in nature and taste hard. Cold can clear away heat, bitterness can relieve, Xin can disperse, it is suitable for all kinds of constipation caused by heat toxin and body fluid. For example, “Medicine Chemistry” says: “Burdock seeds can increase energy and decrease energy, relieve heat and toxins, bitter tastes can clear fire, bring pungent energy to relieve wind, and treat… all kinds of toxins and heat…”

Treat synovitis
Niu Lunzi Decoction for the treatment of knee joint synovitis of spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness: knee osteoarthritis is mostly caused by non-inflammatory degeneration of articular cartilage in the elderly or due to other reasons, and osteophytes are formed on the edges of the joints. Symptoms such as joint pain, limited mobility, and joint deformities can occur clinically. From May 2006 to May 2007 in a hospital, 50 cases of synovitis caused by knee osteoarthritis with spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness were treated by oral and external application of burdock zi decoction, and achieved satisfactory results. .

⑵Li Gao: “Dried Pueraria lobata, its qi is light, invigorate the uplift of stomach qi, produce body fluid, relieve muscle heat, and cure spleen and stomach weakness and diarrhea.”

⑶ “Compendium of Materia Medica”: “Materia Medica Ten Jiyun, light to remove the solid, belong to Ephedra and Pueraria lobata. Ephedra is the sun meridian medicine, which also enters the lung meridian, and the lung governs the fur; Pueraria lobata root is the Yangming meridian medicine and also enters the spleen The meridian, the spleen governs the muscles. So the two medicines are all light and divergent, and the entry is quite different.”

⑷”Materia Medica Sutra”: “Pueraria lobata, the main medicine to dissolve Yangming febrile disease and heat evil, so it is the main medicine to quench thirst, heat the body, heat the chest and diaphragm and vomit. It diverges and rises, the nature of the wind medicine is also, so it is the main body “”Typhoid, headache and strong lumbar and spinal pain, as well as bone pains throughout the body, are full of sun, and the evil has not yet entered Yangming, so there is no thirst syndrome and should not be taken.”

⑸ “Materia Medica Huiyan”: “Pueraria lobata, clear wind and cold, clean the appearance of evil, relieve muscle heat, relieve polydipsia. It is also a medicine for reducing stomach fire. Taste and publish medicine for dispelling evil, and its products are also many, such as ephedra to pull the sun Ying divides the cold, Guizhi relieves the sun and guards the wind, wind-proof, perilla disperses the wind and cold on the surface, and Gaoben and Qianghuo disperse the cold and dampness of the sun on the surface, both are called divergent medicines, and the divergence of Pueraria lobata also enters the sun. To dispel wind and cold, it is different. It is not Ruoma, Gui, Su, Fang, the spicy fragrance is warm and dry, and it diverges but also damages the mistake of Zhongqi. The “Shen Nong Scripture” says that the yin qi, in addition to diminishing thirst, the body is too hot, it belongs to the three yang to express the heat and the evil of cold, and the meaning of clearing it is also like cold and typhoid, febrile disease and fever, cold evil has gone. Biaoyang is already blazing, and the evil heat lies between the muscles. It is neither the outer surface nor the inner side, nor the half-surface and half-inside. If you have dry mouth and polydipsia, and still have headache and fever, you must use the sweet and cold of Pueraria lobata root to clear the muscles and reduce fever. Otherwise, Pueraria lobata roots and using Xin Wen (such as Ma, Gui, Su, Fang, etc.) not only sparse excessive expression, but also due to deficiency of vitality, will cause excessive sweating and death of yang. However, the nature of Pueraria lobata roots is dedicated to relieving muscles. Retreat, thirst, sweat by itself. And the books of Materia Medica say that those who can sweat are not sweating on the surface of the three-yang and cold evil, nor are they sweating by the wind and warmth, but they are actually suffering from the three-yang and cold depression. Incomprehensible, depression can become hot sweat. It is also like the sun’s sweating and depression of yang, the person’s complexion is red, irritable, not knowing where the pain is, shortness of breath, sweating to heal, it is better to treat with Gegen Decoction Therefore, Yu Jijie eliminates heat, sweats and evils retreat, so this is also the case for those who sweat.”

⑹ “Materia Medica”: “Pueraria lobata, if you use this, use it to cool and disperse, although it is good at reaching the Yang Jing, but Yangming is the best, because of its lightness, so it is good to relieve sweating. Any medicine that dissolves is more pungent and hot, this alone It is cool and sweet, so when the disease is relieved when the heat is warm, this is the best for those who are both hot and thirsty. Think of it as the king, and supplement it with firewood, defense, sweetness, and orange.”

⑺ “Medicine Huayi”: “Pueraria lobata, the root governs the rise, the Gan governs the scattered form, if you use two or three dollars more, it can treat the evil of the muscles, develop the law of the body and sweat, it belongs to the foot Yangming stomach meridian medicine, and treats typhoid fever. Dry nose and dry mouth, eye pain and sleeplessness, malaria fever. Ephedra and perilla can specialize in surface treatment, while Pueraria lobata can only relieve muscles and ears. Because of its sweet and cool nature, it can invigorate the stomach. If you use less than five or six points , Cures stomach deficiency, heat and thirst, alcohol poisoning, vomiting, stagnation of fire in the stomach, toothache and bad breath. Or supplemented with spleen medicine, which has the power to wake up the spleen. And the spleen controls the muscles and the limbs, like Yang Qi is contained in the spleen and stomach. Symptoms are not symptoms, eating as usual, but the skin and limbs are hot like fire, this is the same as cohosh, Bupleurum, Fangfeng, Qianghuo, raising the sun and dispersing fire, clearing the muscles and reducing fever, Xue Lizhai also commonly used drugs. If the convulsions cause a silence of the mouth, pound the juice of Pueraria lobata root and irrigate it with bamboo lees to wake up. If it is dry, you can mix it with wine. It is difficult to get acne, so it will be quicker.”

⑻ “Ben Jing Feng Yuan”: “Pueraria lobata root is frivolous, when it is used for health, it will raise yang and produce fluid, and when used well, it will invigorate stomach qi, so it can cure stomach deficiency and make thirst, and Qiwei Baizhu powder is used. Heat injury Yangming, the forehead and skull will swell, otherwise it can’t be developed.”

⑼ “Shuzheng”: “The use of Pueraria lobata root is not just like lily but yinjin, nor is it like cohosh but rising yang, but can both be good at both. It is used salty for those with the benefit of the sun (the syndrome of Pueraria lobata decoction), the sun is under, and the benefits will not stop, and those with the pulse and sweating (the syndrome of Pueraria lobata Qinlian decoction) are salty. Yin is not solid and slips downwards. It raises its yin qi to make the yang yang, and it is necessary to drag it upwards, not only to stop the benefit, but also to restrain the yang from the outside, and then disperse with the yang drum of the stomach.”

⑽ “Medicine and Medicine Series”: “Pueraria lobata, macula is a must-have medicine, and it is not the unavailable point of view. The main purpose of rash is to reach the point. What is feared is the sinking. Is there any reason for the point of view to be unavailable? However, regardless of Sha, the tongue is crimson and dry, it is hot to enter the camp, and it is not for rhino horn or rehmannia. Misuse of Pueraria lobata, that is, there are many signs of change. Pueraria lobata is good. The sun is gone, pure Yangming meridian syndrome, Pueraria lobata root is also good. However, febrile disease is not applicable to those with damp temperature, summer heat, and autumn evil. This should be used for syndrome differentiation and attention. If you get this evil, if you see white scrofula, you can use it improperly to cause harm.”

⑾ “Materia Medica Zhengyi”: “Pueraria lobata, the smell is thin, the most can promote the spleen and stomach to clear the qi, “Treatise on Febrile Diseases” considers the main medicine of Yangming, but it expresses coldness and depression, and the stomach cannot spread yang. The medicine for raising and promoting lightly, swiftly clears the sun, defends against the external cold, prevents evil and relieves the stomach yang, so there is still ephedra in Gegen Decoction, which is the main medicine of Yangming and cold, not the special medicine of Yangming and Lire. If it has been spread internally and it is Yangming fever, Zhongjing has its own white tiger methods, which are not suitable for Pueraria lobata decoction. Its Pueraria lobata and Huangqin Huanglian decoction is the main source of Yangming Xiere heat and benefit. It is set for actual heat, so if the bitter cold of Qin and Lian are used, the root of Pueraria lobata seems to be the product of Qingli; this article is a change from the sun’s disease and Guizhi syndrome. Yiqing, but the benefits are not limited. That is to say, when the spleen and stomach Qingyang sinks, Pueraria lobata only uses the air to rise and sink, not for the Qingli. This is the true purpose of the Zhongshi chooses Pueraria lobata. The main diminishing thirst of the “Ben Sutra” also uses dryness to make too much, lowering the breath quickly, so although the thirst is unsolved after drinking too much, this medicine cures it, not specifically moisturizing the dryness, but also to promote clearness. Also the main vomiting, also Stomach qi can’t compress, causing inability to eat, and it can be a general cure for vomiting caused by stomach fire. However, common medicines that are only known to clear the stomach, promote fluids, moisturize and reduce fever, seem to be true and false. It’s really absurd.”

According to authoritative materials such as Compendium of Materia Medica, Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Functional Food, Pueraria lobata root and its products have clearing fire, detoxification, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, lowering blood sugar, weight loss, laxative, and prevention. Alzheimer’s disease is effective in preventing arteriosclerosis and preventing cerebral thrombosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Pharmacology and Contemporary Research: Ge Gen (pueraria root)
Pueraria lobata root contains isoflavone components puerarin, puerarin xyloside, daidzein, daidzein, β-sitosterol, arachidic acid, and a lot of starch (the content in fresh pueraria is 19-20%).

The dried roots of Pueraria lobata contain 37% starch.

The roots of Pueraria trilobata contain 15-20% starch.

Puerarin, daidzein, daidzein, β-sitosterol, 4′,6″-diethylpuerarin and stigmasterol were isolated from the roots of plants of the same genus in India.

Pueraria lobata mainly contains carbohydrates, vegetable protein, multiple vitamins and minerals, and also contains flavonoids: daidzein, daidzein, daidzein-4,7-diglucoside, puerarin, puerarin-7-wood Glycosides, Puerarin, Pueraria lobata and isoflavone glycosides, etc.

“Compendium of Materia Medica” contains: Pueraria lobata, which is cool in nature, calm in air, sweet in taste, and has the functions of clearing heat, reducing fire and detoxification. Modern medical research shows that the isoflavone compound puerarin in Pueraria lobata root has a certain effect on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Effects on the circulatory system The flavonoids proposed in Pueraria lobata can increase the blood flow of the brain and coronary blood vessels. After injection of Pueraria flavonoids into the internal carotid artery of anesthetized dogs, the cerebral blood flow increases, and the vascular resistance decreases accordingly. The effect is maintained for 2-20 minutes. If intravenously, the cerebral blood flow increases slightly, and the epinephrine and norepinephrine contractions cannot be relieved. The role of cerebrovascular, but it can improve cerebral circulation in patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and its effect is mild. Pueraria lobata flavone and pueraria lobata wine extract injected into the coronary arteries and veins of dogs can increase coronary blood flow and reduce vascular resistance. The intraperitoneal and subcutaneous injection of pueraria lobata wine extract and the intraperitoneal injection of its water decoction and the crystals proposed in pueraria lobata have a protective effect on the cardiac ischemic response caused by pituitary gland. The oral administration of pueraria lobata decoction is effective in hypertensive dogs. No obvious antihypertensive effect. The decoction of Pueraria lobata root (made in Japan) is reported to contain both excitatory and cardiac inhibitory components.

Antispasmodic effect Chinese Pueraria lobata root (variety not specified) and Japanese commercially available Pueraria lobata root both contain stigma flavone, which has a papaverine-like antispasmodic effect on isolated intestinal tubes of mice and guinea pigs. However, Chinese Pueraria lobata root has stronger antispasmodic effects than Japanese ones , May be related to the large content and more flavonoids. This antispasmodic component can resist the effects of histamine and acetylcholine; other isoflavone derivatives isolated from Japanese Pueraria lobata root have no obvious acetylcholine expansion Alkali effect. In addition, the elbow and bowel tube has a contraction effect. MTF-101 proposed in the Japanese Pueraria lobata root has a muscarinic effect.

Blood glucose lowering effect Pueraria lobata (species not specified) decoction is taken orally to rabbits. The blood sugar rises in the first 2 hours, then drops, and the decrease is the lowest in the 3rd and 4th hours. Not only does it have no antagonistic effect on rabbits adrenergic hyperglycemia, but it increases it. But it can promote the early return of blood sugar to normal. Pueraria lobata water extract can also make rabbits’ blood sugar decrease after the initial rise, and has a more significant effect on raising blood sugar in hungry rabbits. The ether extract has no obvious effect on sugar metabolism.

Antipyretic and estrogen-like effect. Japanese Pueraria lobata extract has obvious antipyretic effect on artificial fever rabbits, which lasts for 4 to 5 hours. Pueraria lobata can increase the weight of the uterus of immature mice and have an estrogen-like effect. The active ingredient for this effect is daidzein.

Pueraria lobata contains 12% of flavonoids, such as puerarin, daidzein, peanut, and other nutrients, as well as protein, amino acid, sugar, and essential minerals such as iron, calcium, copper, and selenium. A valuable tonic for all ages, it has the reputation of “Millennium Ginseng”. As early as the Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing’s “Treatise on Febrile Diseases”, there was a famous prescription “Gegen Decoction”, and it is still an important explanatory formula. “Materia Medica Zhengyi” stated that Pueraria lobata “can best develop the qi of clearing the spleen and stomach.”

Pueraria lobata root is sweet and slightly pungent, has a refreshing scent, cool in nature, and mainly enters the spleen and stomach meridian. It has the effects of relieving muscles, promoting yang, clearing rash, relieving fever and promoting body fluid. It is used to treat spleen deficiency, diarrhea, fever and thirst, attending to exogenous fever, strong head pain, poor transmission of measles, thirst due to febrile disease, thirst, alcohol toxin, chest pain and other diseases.

Regular consumption of Pueraria lobata powder can regulate human body functions, enhance physical fitness, improve the body’s ability to resist diseases, resist aging, and maintain youthful vitality forever.

Modern medical research shows that Pueraria lobata flavonoids have anti-cancer, anti-cancer and estrogen-like effects, and can promote women’s beauty, especially for middle-aged women and menopausal women.

7. “Compendium”: Elimination of rash, blood stasis, treatment of yang and dizziness, chest and hypochondriac deficiency pain, chronic diarrhea, heavy dysentery, turbidity, bleeding, collapsing, bloody, bloody, yin Fetus foot cold. [br]

8. “Medical Qiyuan”: cohosh, if it replenishes the spleen and stomach, it cannot be replenished if it is not used. If you get scallion white, Xiangzhi, etc., you can also use Yangming and Sun to relieve muscle heat. This medicine is also for Yangming colds of hands and feet. “Indications Secret Yao” states that there are four users: Yangming Yinjing on the hands and feet, two also; Yangming is under the supreme yin, and two are; . Spleen palsy can not be removed without cohosh. [br]

9. Li Gao: Cohosh, which radiates Yangming and wind evils, raises the clear qi in the stomach, and induces the medicine of sweetness and warming to rise, so as to replenish the body of the qi, so it is used for those with insufficient vitality. Yang is rising from the yin. Slowly with the urgency of the pulse. If the stomach is weak and cold, and the Yang Qi is suppressed in the spleen soil, cohosh and Pueraria lobata should be promoted to disperse the fire depression. Introduce green onion, Sanshou Yangming and wind evil; Introduce plaster, relieve foot Yangming toothache; Ginseng, Astragalus, can not go up unless it is introduced. [br]

10. “Tangye Materia Medica”: Dongyuanyun, cohosh enters the foot Yangming. If you have the sun syndrome of the first disease, take cohosh and pueraria lobata root in casual clothes, and cause sweating in the Yangming Jingjing, or you have lost the fault. . Zhu (brachial) cloud, blood stasis into the inside, if there is blood, vomiting blood, rhinoceros dihuang decoction, is also the holy medicine of Yangming Jing, if there is no rhino horn, it is replaced by cohosh. Cohosh and rhino horn are far different in nature and taste, why should they be used instead? Covering with cohosh is to induce rehmannia and the remaining medicine to enter Yangming ears at the same time. Zhong Jingyun, sun sickness, if you sweat, if you urinate, you will die of body fluid, and the stomach is dry. Because of the change to Yangming, the harm is beyond words. [br]

11. “Compendium”: Cimicifuga induces Yangming and Qingqi up, Bupleurum induces Shaoyang Qingqi up. This is the most important medicine for the spleen and stomach to induce menstruation. and also. Shengma Gegen Decoction is also a medicine for dispersing Yangming wind and cold. Shizhen uses it to treat depression of yang, depression of vitality, and red eyes, and each has special effects. After the 50th year of the People’s Republic of China, there are more people whose qi has disappeared, fewer elderly people, more descendants, fewer ascenders, more orders in autumn and winter, but less orders in spring and summer. If you are weak and have previous evidence, it is appropriate to do this The law governs it by medicine. “Su Wen” says that the life of yin essence is given to his life, and the yang essence is to give his life. Throughout the ages, Zhang Jiegu and Li Dongyuan are just two of those who peek into the mystery and explain the subtleties. And cohosh can detoxify acne, but it can be used to detoxify at first fever. After the acne is out, people with weak breath or diarrhea can also use it sparingly. Its cohosh and pueraria decoction must not be used after spots are seen, so it can be dissolved. and also. [br]

12. “Huiyan of Materia Medica”: cohosh, an agent for promoting yang. Cure typhoid fever and relieve the evil of Yangming on the surface (fever, forehead pain, orbital pain, dry nose, insomnia), acne XI occurs when it is secret, and when it is lingering. But the taste is bitter and cold, so the evil of wind-cold, fever without sweat; the evil of wind-heat, head wind attack and pain, and eye disease, swelling of the moth and throat, cohosh can be cured. Another example is internal injury of vitality, spleen and stomach failure, sinking to the point of Yin; or drunk and full housework, which damages Yang Qi and sinks into Yin; or chronic illness and diarrhea, sinking of Yang Qi, and then severe distress; or chronic illness and collapse In the middle, the yin collaterals are injured, and the leaching is not stopped; or the fetus transfers to the cell and falls, and the water is blocked; or the man bets with damp and heat, and the waist and knees are heavy; or the sore is inverted, purple and black; Close, cohosh can cure it. This medicine can disperse wind, dispel cold, clear heat, resolve sores, lift sags, support internal depression, and remove all poisons. And if the medicines cannot rise, only cohosh can rise. It can be seen to treat toothache with plaster and licorice, to make up for lack of coke with ginseng and astragalus, and to treat lung carbuncle pus and blood with platycodon and coltsfoot. [br]

13. “Materia Medica”: cohosh, where carbuncle acne rash, yang deficiency can not start and dysentery and collapse, dream loss of the anus, yang deficiency depression, etc., use adjuvants, all suitable. If you are really angry, all flames and sun signs are not suitable for use. And its taste is bitter and the qi is scattered, if the blood qi is too weak, andThose who have no roots are not available. [br]

14. “Medicine Huayi”: cohosh, good to promote clearing qi, less use of Zuo Shen and Qi Sheng to invigorate qi. Bupleurum induces liver qi from left to top, cohosh induces stomach qi from right to top, and the decoction of invigorating qi to invigorate the spleen has the effect of invigorating the vitality of the spleen, increasing the Qi of Qingyang and decreasing the Qi of cloudy Yin. Its taste is bitter and pungent. It can also be used to relieve muscles. It is also good at introducing ginseng, Qi Yiqi is smart, and Chaihu is used to treat fire and five upset heat. If you work hard and have a fire in your lungs, you may raise Yang Qi, help the fire and produce phlegm, avoid it. [br]

15. “New Edition of Materia Medica”: Cohosh must be shared with Qi and blood medicine. It can be used as an adjuvant but not a monarch. The world considers its qi to disperse and dare not use it more. However, there are many uses, such as “Compendium of Materia Medica” and “Jingshu” have not been mentioned. Husband cohosh can be used for many purposes, and it is also the disease of spotting. Where the heat is not too much, there will be no spots, but the internal heat is so great that it will be emitted outside, and the fur is strong and cannot escape, so it can not be scattered when it sees spots. Cimicifuga is not a spot-reducing medicine. If you want to retreat spots, you must relieve its internal heat. The antipyretic medicine must not go out Yuanshen, Ophiopogon japonicus and Qin, Lian, Gardenia, etc., but Yuanshen, Ophiopogon japonicus and Qin, Lian, Gardenia can go down, but cannot go outside. Cohosh must be used to attract the medicines from the fur, and the spots will disappear. If the cohosh is used less and cannot be taken out, it will inevitably heat the inside and move towards the large and small intestines. . On the husband’s fire inflammation, those who cause it to rise are easy to disperse, and those who let it go down are difficult to solve, so it must be used more, and the fiery poison is digested with Yuanshen, Ophiopogon and Qin, Lian, Gardenia and the like. Approximately Yuanshen and Ophiopogon can be used for one and two. The cohosh can be used as much as five dollars, as little as four or three dollars. It is not known why Zhongjing used cohosh to stop the blood. The husband vomits blood from the stomach, and the blood from the lungs. Rehmannia glutinosa must be used to stop bleeding. Non-cohosh can be used to stop the blood. Those who use cohosh, but use it to introduce rehmannia glutinosa into the lungs and stomach ears. For this kind of disease, avoid using more cohosh. If you use less, you can succeed with each other. You must not spend more than a dollar. [br]

16. “Ben Jing Feng Yuan”: Cohosh and Pueraria lobata can cause acne, but it can be used at the first fever. Do not take it after seeing the spot, for its qi rises, initiates heat toxins, and the harm is unpredictable, and measles is especially forbidden , A missed shot, Pan Man Lizhi. According to cohosh, which belongs to yang and sex rise, it can help yang to defend against yin evil, so it is used in the prescriptions for leaching, diarrhea, and prolapse. The ancient prescription cures mouth dysentery, stirs up cohosh with vinegar, introduces ginseng and lotus meat, and supports the stomach to eat, which has great magical effect. [br]

17. “Pursuing the Truth of Materia Medica”: Cohosh, similar to Pueraria lobata, but the sweetness and bitterness, can induce white onion into the lungs, disperse wind and cold and sweat, and inducing gypsum can cure headaches and toothaches at the top of Yangming , Yin Shen and Qi can enter the spleen and stomach to nourish the spleen, and with Bupleurum, Qi, Atractylodes macrocephala can be used for warming medicine to replenish Wei Qi. It’s not like Pueraria lobata specializes in entering the stomach, raising body fluids and relieving muscles without introducing various medicines to consolidate qi. But when cohosh is supplemented with Pueraria lobata root, it is effective when it enters Yangming to promote body fluid and relieve muscle. Same as Bupleurum sylvestris raises qi, then Bupleurum can raise Yang of Shaoyang liver meridian, and cohosh can raise yang of Stomach meridian. become. [br]

18. “Materia Medica Justice”: Cimicifuga, its nature is quite similar to Bupleurum. Since the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, it has also been constantly supplemented with Bupleurum, but Bupleurum has a half-surface and half-internal shaoyang to relieve the suppression of the liver and gallbladder; Ma Xuan produces the Yang Ming of the muscles and promotes the stagnation of the spleen and stomach, its use is very close, and its main is different, it is best to pay attention to it. Therefore, various syndromes of spleen and stomach deficiency and depression, such as chronic dysentery, turbidity and collapse, intestinal wind and drenching, chronic hemorrhoids, prolapse of the anus, etc. , And Chaihu is still the assistant of cohosh, and Dongyuan replenishes Qi and raises Yang. As for the deficiency of the liver and kidney, the yin is thin at the bottom and the yang is floating at the top. Cohosh can radiate the wind evil of Yangming muscle and sweat through the surface, and its power is quite strong, but it is suitable for those who show the depression of evil. The nature of rising again, can in addition to the headache of wind and cold at the top, but it is also suitable for the evil of wind and cold, and the headache of the liver-yang tomb is also a big taboo. , The liver yang is the most, the so-called yang depression is very unsolvable, I am afraid that it is not suitable for the medicine. Dongyuan is said to stop Yangming toothache, and the cover is used to induce stomach clearing medicine. It enters Yangming meridian ears. Non-cohosh can also relieve toothache.

, dredge the nine orifices. Treat dampness, arthralgia and contracture, headache and tinnitus, and the sun’s vein is in the brain. The eyes are red and the teeth are painful. Although the teeth belong to the kidney, they are more than bones, while the upper gingiva belongs to the Foot Yangming, and the lower gingiva belongs to the hand Yangming. When the Yang Ming wind heat attacks upward, it shakes and swells. It is the syndrome of wind deficiency on the head and face. It can brighten the eyes, firm the teeth, grow the hair and brighten the muscles. It is bad plaster and Aconitum.
Ben Jing Fengyuan: Manjing son enters the sun and is light and floating. Therefore, it can cure the cold and heat between muscles and bones, arrest the dampness and disperse when going up. Therefore, it can brighten the eyes and teeth, benefit the nine orifices, remove white insects, wind cold, eye pain and wind deficiency on the head and face. However, people with deficiency of stomach can’t take it. They are afraid to help phlegm and dampness. It is forbidden for those who have headache and eye pain not due to wind evil, but have fire due to blood deficiency. It is especially forbidden to have large pupil dispersion.
“Materia medica Chongyuan” : Manjing produces many water guests. Its son is black and has a bitter cold smell. It shows the gasification of the cold water of the sun. It covers the cold and heat of the sun, and the heat of the less Yin indicates the cold. It is mainly used to treat the cold and heat between muscles and bones. The sun governs the tendon disease, and the less Yin governs the bone disease. It also cures the cold and heat of the sun and less Yin. Dampness is binding and contracture, and dampness hurts muscles and bones. It is the essence of tonifying water, so it can brighten the eyes. Besides tonifying bones, it can strengthen teeth. The nine orifices are the Qi of water injection, and the water essence is sufficient, Therefore, it benefits the nine orifices. Insects are yin. The sun has the Qi of marking Yang, so white insects are gone.
“Seeking truth from the grass”: [batch] disperse the cold and dampness between the muscles and bones, except for the wind and cold on the head and face.
Manjingzi specially enters the bladder, stomach and liver. It is hard and mild. The book says that it mainly cures the bladder of the sun and regulates the stomach of the foot Yang and the liver of the foot Jueyin. The edge of the sun belongs to the channel of cold water. Due to the evil internal guest of the wind, it causes headache and tinnitus at the top of the head; the sun’s vein is in the brain. The liver belongs to the wind viscera. Since the wind invades internally, the wind will invade the liver wood and cause more tears. The eye is the liver orifice. The tendons are nourished by blood, and the blood will also be invaded by the wind, And the tendons are not proud, and the teeth are not strong
Wattle pillow
In addition to the bones, the upper gingiva belongs to the Foot Yangming stomach, and the lower gingiva belongs to the hand Yangming large intestine. When wind heat attacks upward, it will be painful. When there is wind, there will be dampness. Dampness and wind beat, the stomach will also be tired of dampness, resulting in meat arthralgia and muscle contracture. By the combination of three Qi, cold and dampness, there will be nine orifices, mouth, nose, ears, eyes and two Yin. The disease is serious. The body of Ramulus is light and floating, so it can not only cure the cold and heat between muscles and bones, but also make the dampness arthralgia arrest and rush away. The Qi rises and dissipates, and can dispel the wind In addition to the cold, it can cure the deficiency of wind on the head and face. It can benefit all nine orifices and kill white insects. It is also one of the ear tests to eliminate both wind, cold, dampness and heat. However, the disease of qi deficiency and blood deficiency will be followed by this disaster.
“Matching Materia Medica”: Aconitum, gypsum.
It is pungent, bitter and lukewarm. It enters the foot, the sun and Jueyin meridians and Qi points. It searches the liver wind, dispels cold and dampness, eliminates headache, stops eye pain, benefits the nine orifices, kills white insects, cures dampness arthralgia and contracture, and cures tinnitus and toothache.
It is matched with iris to treat throat arthralgia and mouth silence; it is matched with Tribulus terrestris to treat skin arthralgia and inhumanity.
Stomach deficiency, fear of taking it will cause phlegm disease. Blood deficiency headache, both are forbidden.
Materia medica classic solution: the smell is bitter, slightly cold and non-toxic. It is mainly used to treat cold, heat and dampness arthralgia and contracture between muscles and bones, brighten eyes and teeth, benefit nine orifices and remove white insects.
Ye Tianshi said: the vine wattle is slightly cold. It grasps the water vapor of the cold weather in winter and enters the kidney meridian of foot Shaoyin and the bladder meridian of foot Taiyang cold water. It tastes bitter and non-toxic. It gets the fire smell of the South and starts with the heart meridian of Shaoyin. The smell drops and the Yin is also.
The sun is cold and water, which is the disease of the main tendons, and the bone is the combination of the kidney. The vine and Jing cold can clear away heat, the bitter can dry and wet, and the damp and heat are bustling, then the cold and heat subside and the contracture is healed.
Qi is cold, water is strong, taste is bitter, fire is clear, fire is clear, water is strong, teeth are not only kidney.
The nine orifices have two ears, two eyes and two noses, one mouth and one defecation. They taste bitter and clear fire, so all the nine orifices are beneficial.
White insects are transformed by damp heat. Bitter cold enters the bladder to relieve damp heat, so it is also necessary to remove white insects.
Ben Jing Shu Zheng : the cold and heat between the muscles and bones leads to dampness, arthralgia and contracture, and the evil is concentrated in the joints. When the cold, heat and humidity between the joints are removed, they should be used as exercise and scattered as well as covered with thorns and fruits. The soft strip is like a vine, and the old hair will be new. The birth must be on the nodes, like the meridians. It goes around intermittently in case of nodes, which is called walking; it blooms in clusters, its petals are light red, Zhi yellow, white and green calyx, which is like the popularity of joints. It is called stretching and flexing the muscles and bones, which is called scattering; both The reason for this is that the taste is bitter and the Qi is slightly cold, the pain is the main hair, and the cold is the main ear. For the eyes, the spirit is clustered in one place; for the teeth, the form and quality are clustered in one place. When the spirit is mixed with evil Qi, it will be dark, and when the form and quality are mixed with evil Qi, it will be shaken. When the evil is done, the evil will be dispersed, and the spiritual form and quality will return to its normal. Therefore, it is called clear in the eyes and firm in the teeth
Vitex seed
The eyes and teeth are the three of the nine orifices, which benefit the rest of the husband, and then combined with the wind, headache and brain ringing of bielu, and the reason for benefiting the nine orifices can be recognized. Although the symptoms treated by Manjing are all disease forms and not disease Qi, the function of Manjing’s temperament is all in blood rather than Qi, and bielu boasted that it is beneficial to Qi. What’s the meaning? Liu Qianjiang said that when Yin is empty, the weather is unique, and Manjing is actually cool, so it can Cool the blood of various meridians to gather the location of Yang, so that Yang can be transformed into Yin, and the Yang path can travel. The so-called reaching Yang with Yin and penetrating Yin from Yang. Therefore, those who lack Qi want to supplement it, and this can clear their Qi to reach it; those who are hostile to Qi want to disperse, and this can clear their Qi to melt it. Since there is creation in Qi, it is called supplementing qi, but also, headache in nuclear test will make your brain chirp, and your eyes will cry out. It is not fluid that does not condense in Qi? Fluid condenses in Qi , Qi is stronger than action. Clouds and Qi have nothing to do with it.
New edition of Materia Medica : Vitex mandshurica has bitter, pungent and sweet taste. The temperature is slightly cold, and the Yin in the Yang is non-toxic. It enters the sun meridian. It is cold and hot in the main muscles and bones, dampness, arthralgia and contracture. This meridian has headache, heavy head, dizziness, good joints, long hair, unblocking the nine orifices, removing insects, dispersing wind and lust, brightening the eyes, stopping tinnitus, and strong tooth movement. If it is scattered but not replenished, how can it lighten the body and resist aging. It can not be used frequently because of stomach deficiency and weak Qi and blood 。
Or ask Manjing Zi, the holy medicine for relieving headache. Anyone with wind evil in his head can use it. But my son thinks it can’t be used frequently, so he says it can attack but not supplement. But if the medicine can eliminate the disease, why should it be used frequently or not? I don’t know that Manjing Zi is light and floating. Although it doesn’t dissipate the Qi too much, it seems that anyone with evil can use it. However, the weak person has little damage, so he is afraid of Qi and weak spirit, and is invincible It’s embarrassing. Those who can’t use their words frequently are also empty words. If they are shaped, Qi and solid, evil is stuffed in the upper coke, and they are safe in the forbidden area.
Among the tonics of Vitex seed, it is especially effective to treat headache. Because it is light and weak, it is easy to rise. If you rely on it alone and want to win more than an instant, you can’t.
Or ask the man Jingzi that entering the sun Sutra can dispel the wind evil. He Zhongjing, Zhang Gong doesn’t use it to show the wind evil of the sun. Is it not the medicine of the sun? I don’t know that the man Jingzi entering the sun’s camp and defense can’t be as good as the Cinnamon Twig alone but not scattered, and the Ephedra alone but not scattered. Each has his own special skills. At the beginning of typhoid fever
Vitex seed
At the time of entering, evil is not deep. You can’t introduce the guards into the camp, and you can’t still scatter the guards in the camp. The guards of the manjingzi camp are scattered together, so it’s not suitable.

Indications:
For typhoid fever, cold and heat, headache, irritability, chest tightness.
Point combinations:

2. With gardenia, it can be used for exogenous fever, evil heat, depression in the chest, chagrin in the heart, restlessness with heat, etc.
1. With Scallion white
The combination of the two drugs is the famous recipe of “behind the elbow” green onion and black bean soup, which can cure external diseases, such as cold, fever, headache, body pain, stuffy nose, clear snot, and wheezing without sweat. It has the power of warming the skin, clearing the Yang and sweating: the item of “behind the elbow” is: “typhoid fever” „ I feel headache, body heat and pulse flood at the beginning of one or two days, so I add and subtract green onion and black bean soup, which is green and white, one tiger’s mouth, one liter of black bean, cotton wrapped and three liters of water, Boil one liter, take clothes and sweat. If you don’t sweat more, add three liang of Pueraria, „ don’t sweat more, add three liang of Ephedra and go to the festival. All famous doctors use it, and there are many addition and subtraction methods. ”

Nourish yin and relieve external symptoms, treat Yin deficiency after treatment, adjust carelessly, and feel external evil. Or after hematemesis, hematochezia, hemoptysis and bleeding, you will feel wind cold, headache, body heat, slight cold and no sweat. Those who have no sweat on the surface of these external evils should sweat on the surface. However, sweat and blood are of the same origin. The chapter of lingshuying Health Association has the ring of “those who seize blood have no sweat, and those who seize sweat have no blood”. The patient has blood deficiency, yin deficiency and exterior syndrome. If he doesn’t sweat, he will end up puzzled. Sweat and fear of no sweat or sweat and serious injury to Yin blood. Change into other syndrome, so use Ophiopogon japonicus to nourish yin to nourish sweat source. Douchi is published to solve external evils.

3. With Gardenia
Gardenia bitter cold, clear the heart and remove annoyance, clear the stomach heat; Douchi Shengsan can relieve depression and heat from the chest and outside. The two drugs are required. One is clear and one is transparent. It has the effect of clearing heat and removing annoyance. “Treatise on Febrile Diseases” is named gardenia and black bean soup, which is the two flavors.

This is because your mind is not at ease with the inside and your form is not at ease with the outside. „ if you do not take other medicine, you can stop using Douchi and gardenia to make soup. If you use Gardenia to relieve heat and go down, you can know that Douchi can dispel Yin inversion.” “seeking truth from Materia Medica” also says: “Those who see irritability, headache, chest tightness, restlessness, spot vomiting, combined with gardenia, can induce evil to vomit up and not fall into the disease of internal knot.”
4. Almond
It is said in the herbal medicine that “the almond is used to relieve the diaphragm Qi.” the almond is bitter, and the Douchi rises and disperses. The two drugs are the same, one rises and one falls, which can relieve the diaphragm Qi. If the knee Qi is stagnant, the chest is smothered, and the heating hiccup is endless, it will take effect.
5. With Allium macrostemon
Warming Yang and invigorating the spleen can stop the blood in the stool. The spleen governs the blood, and Qi can absorb the blood. If the spleen yin is insufficient, the temper is also weak, and the right to control the blood is lost, the blood overflows from the lower part of the stool. It is accompanied by dull blood color, tepid limbs, yellow complexion, pale tongue, thin and weak pulse. The treatment should be warming yang and hemostasis, white Allium macrostemon to warm yang, Douchi to strengthen the spleen, and the combination of the two drugs can restore the middle Yang and strengthen the spleen, and Qi can absorb blood and stop the blood in the stool, Therefore, the herbal classic solution says: “with Allium macrostemon, it can cure blood and benefit.”

Treat fever, strengthen heat, get upset, faint, delirium, thirst and dry throat, acute lung heat and asthma, heatstroke and spontaneous sweating, stomach fire, headache, toothache, excessive heat toxin, spots and rashes, and sore tongue. Calcined compress can produce muscle and heal sore. External treatment of carbuncle, gangrene, sore, ulceration without closing the mouth, soup fire scald

For exogenous fever, high fever and thirst, lung heat, asthma and cough, hyperactivity of stomach fire, headache and toothache
Treating burn wounds with gypsum powder can quickly scab, reduce exudation, prevent infection and promote wound healing; At the same time, it can avoid the pain of dressing change of burn patients. Usage: first clean the wound, wipe off the dirt, cut off the blisters, remove the rotten skin, then coat the wound with 2 ~ 4 density procaine solution, and then put the fried gypsum powder into a gauze bag and evenly spread it on the wound (it can be thicker). After 1 ~ 2 hours, the gypsum powder is dry and solid; If there are many wound secretions, continue to spread.

Generally, gypsum scabs can be formed after 12 ~ 24 hours. After the scab is dried and fixed, it should not be peeled off too early to avoid severe pain, bleeding and infection. Generally, the second degree burn can fall off after 3 ~ 7 days. If the skin is too hard and itchy, apply 2% procaine oil or penicillin ointment (allergy test in advance). In case of infection under the scab, remove the scab, clean it, sprinkle gypsum powder or apply penicillin ointment at the same time. 36 cases were observed by the above methods, including 26 cases of ⅰ ° scald and 11 cases of ⅱ and ⅲ ° mixed scald; There were 17 cases with burn area less than 10%, 12 cases with 11 ~ 20%, 4 cases with 21 ~ 30%, 2 cases with 31 ~ 40% and 1 case with 90%. Results except one child died of measles and pneumonia, one child died of severe poisoning when he was hospitalized because of the burn area of about 90%. However, the following problems still exist in this treatment method: it is often difficult to implement in winter or cold days; Second, patients often have unbearable pain and itching after dryness and fixation of plaster crazy skin; For III ° scald, gypsum scab can only be used as artificial scab to temporarily protect the wound, but can not replace early skin grafting. In addition, if gypsum powder is prepared into paste with tung oil or peanut oil and applied externally to the affected area, it also has a good effect on promoting wound healing.

② For filling bone defect cavity
14 cases of bone defects caused by osteomyelitis and bone tuberculosis were treated with plaster filling, of which 12 cases were cured after 2 ~ 17 months of observation. None of the 7 cases observed for more than 5 months recurred. X-ray examination showed that the bone defects healed, and some had formed new bone marrow cavities. There were 2 cases of suppuration, including 1 case of acute osteomyelitis and 1 case of calcaneal tuberculosis. The local focus was large, the infiltration was obvious, there was mixed infection of sinus tract, and the soft tissue suture was difficult. As a result, the gypsum completely flowed out and failed. Treatment: preoperative infection with antibiotics, thorough removal of inflammatory or tuberculosis lesions, chisel into fresh bone surface, preservation of periosteum and soft tissue as far as possible, with starch and gypsum mixed with penicillin and streptomycin, and dense suture. The affected limb was fixed with plaster and antibiotics were injected at the same time. All cases had no adverse reactions. Experimental and clinical data show that after plaster filling, most of the blood calcium increases in the early stage, the callus is abundant, and the ossification process is rapid. Therefore, it is considered that gypsum filling may have two functions: one is to supply abundant calcium salt; Second, it plays a pillar role and has biological stimulation at the same time. These are the main factors to promote bone healing. Experience has proved that the clinical indications for filling bone defects with gypsum should be carefully selected. Chronic osteomyelitis or bone tuberculosis, where the focus is small and the skin and subcutaneous tissue are rich, can receive good results by filling plaster after antibiotic treatment and complete removal of the focus; It is not applicable to the cases of acute osteomyelitis with abscess formation, too large focus, incomplete skin, less subcutaneous tissue and no dense suture after operation.

shí g ā o Gypsum fibrosum and antibiotics (weakening effect) (theoretical)
shí g ā o Gypsum fibrosum could weaken the effect of antibiotics (contains calcium, which can hinder the absorption of antibiotics in the intestine).

Those with spleen stomach deficiency cold, blood deficiency and yin deficiency fever should not take it. “Medical Qiyuan”: “the secret of indications” says that it can cold the stomach and make people not eat. It can’t be used lightly if there is extreme fever in the abdomen. ”

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum)
From Shennong’s book of Materia Medica; “Compendium”: “it is called fine marble because of its fine art and fine science. Its nature is as cold as water, so it is called cold water stone, which has the same name as condensate stone.” “There are two kinds of gypsum: soft and hard: soft gypsum is a large piece, which is made into layers in stone, such as flattened rice cake. Each layer is several inches thick. It has two colors: red and white. The red can not be taken, and the white is clean. The fine text is as short and dense as a bundle of needles. It is as soft and fragile as solidified into white wax. It is white and rotten as powder when burned. It is bright and clean, and the color is slightly green. And the text is as thin as white silk, which is also known as marble. It is the same thing as soft gypsum, broken The shape and color of anhydrite are the same and cannot be distinguished. Anhydrite is made into blocks and straight. Its edges are as white as horse teeth. When it is hit, it will disintegrate horizontally, and it is as bright as mica. White quartz has walls, and it is easy to disperse when burned, but it is still hard and does not make powder. It is like anhydrite into blocks. When it is hit, the blocks will disintegrate, and the wall is bright, it is called calcite. When burned, it will be surprised and scattered, but it will not rot. it is the same as anhydrite, and it is two kinds of anhydrite. When broken, it has the shape and color One is indistinguishable. Since Tao Hongjing, Su Gong, Daming, Lei Xuan and Yan Xiaozhong all used the hard one as gypsum and the soft one as cold water stone, Zhu Zhenheng categorically used the soft one as gypsum, and later generations have followed it with experience, and it has been known for thousands of years. The so-called cold water stone of gaixi people is soft gypsum, and the so-called anhydrite is feldspar. Gypsum, marble, feldspar and calcite all live in Qi Cold can remove heat and accumulate Qi, but gypsum can also relieve muscle sweating. Marble is gypsum, and feldspar is calcite, which can be used instead, each according to its type. People today use gypsum to collect tofu, which was unknown to people in the past. ” “According to the ancient prescription, the cold water stone is condensate stone. The cold water stone used by various parties since the Tang and Song Dynasties is now gypsum. People in recent times take feldspar and calcite as cold water stone, which can not be indistinguishable.”
1. On the spleen and stomach: if you eat less, you can’t use plaster. Plaster can remove the pulse number, and the disease will subside. If the pulse number does not subside, it can’t be cured.
2. Supplement to the derivation of materia medica: gypsum is the medicine of Yangming classic. Yangming is the main muscle. It is also sweet. It can slow the spleen and replenish qi, quench thirst and eliminate fire. It is also pungent. It can relieve muscle sweating, go up to the head, and start with Taiyin and Shaoyang. It can be the Lord of the three classics. Research is the end. Vinegar research pill is as big as mung bean to relieve stomach fire, phlegm fire and food accumulation.
3. Compendium: Li Shiyun of Dongyuan said that people who take Baihu Decoction before the beginning of summer can’t help urinating. This is too much of a descending order. Yangming’s body fluid can’t be transmitted to the lungs, and the clear Qi of the lungs also drops again. According to the ancient and modern records of experimental prescriptions of the early Yu Dynasty, there are five steaming Decoction for the treatment of steaming diseases, which is also Baihu plus ginseng, Poria cocos, Rehmannia glutinosa and pueraria root, which are increased and reduced due to illness. Wang Tao’s Secret essentials of outer Taiwan It is used to cure bone steaming, labor heat and cough for a long time. It is written in plaster like a bunch of needles, one kilogram or two of powdered licorice. It is carefully grinded like noodles, and it is taken three or four times a day with water. It is said that it is non-toxic and beneficial. It is a medicine for nourishing life. Don’t ignore its cheapness and doubt its cold. Records of famous doctors It is said that Yang Shicheng, the daughter of muzhou, has a bone disease, internal heat and external cold. Many doctors do not suffer from the disease. She is treated with this prescription in the state of Wu, and her body is cold. She is stupid to say that she is young, has a large lung and stomach fire, and can eat. If she is old, weak in Qi, blood and stomach, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate. Guangjilin’s training is 50 years old. She has phlegm, cough and fever, or takes plaster medicine alone to about one kilogram, so she can’t eat it. She coughs frequently and gets sick, so she can’t afford it, This cover is also the name of the drug user. What is the gypsum.
4. Herbal Classics: gypsum can relieve muscle pain, and sweet can slow heat. If it is cold and sweet, it can eliminate great heat. Therefore, the book focuses on wind cold and heat, and heat generates wind. If the evil fire rushes upward, there will be counter Qi and panic asthma under the heart; If the evil heat of Yangming is very hot, the mouth will be dry and the tongue will not rest. If the evil heat is accumulated in the abdomen, it will cause firm pain in the abdomen; If the evil heat does not dissipate, the spirit will faint and delirium; When muscles relieve heat and sweat, all syndromes will retreat. But milk production and golden sores are not their use. In bielu, in addition to Qi, headache, body heat, triple energizer fever, skin heat, diaphragmatic Qi in the intestines and stomach, relieving muscle sweating, stopping thirst and upset, abdominal distention and gas explosion, wheezing and swallowing heat, all diseases are caused by the hot evil heat of the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, but wheezing and swallowing heat is slightly combined with hand Taiyin disease. This medicine can dissipate the evil heat of Yangming and reduce the phlegm heat of hand Taiyin, so we know the Lord. Zhen Quan is also used to treat typhoid fever, headache like crack and heat like fire. “Rihuazi” is used to cure the fever of heaven, spin the head wind and wipe the teeth. Dongyuan is used to remove stomach heat, lung heat, disperse Yang evil, slow the spleen and replenish qi. When the evil heat goes away, the spleen will be slow and the vitality will return. Jiegu also said that those who stop headache, fever and cold in the Yangming Meridian, feed hot flashes every day, drink with great thirst, heatstroke and toothache are all evil in the Yangming Meridian. It is useless to manage Yangming. Foot Yangming is the main muscle, hand Taiyin is the main fur, so it is also an important product for spots and rashes. If it is used little, it is difficult to blame its work, which is incomprehensible to world doctors. I write it here. Gypsum is an important medicine to relieve excess heat, dispel summer heat, disperse evil heat, quench thirst and get rid of trouble. The two diseases of warmth and heat are mostly accompanied by Yangming. If you have a headache and bone pain all over the body without thirst and drinking, the evil lies in the sun, and Yangming is not transmitted, so it should not be used. 7、 In the past eight days, evil has been settled, there is dry dung, cold and hot. Do not use it if it is appropriate to go down. Heat and dampness are used as catharsis. Do not use it for those with weak spleen and stomach. Malaria pathogen is not in Yangming, it is not thirsty and should not be used. Postpartum cold and heat due to blood deficiency or incomplete lochia; Bone steaming fatigue heat is due to the lack of Yin essence, not due to external causes; Golden sores and lower breasts are not his duty; It should be carefully inspected and not misused.
5. Medicine sign: the famous doctor’s special record says that the gypsum is cold. Since the later doctors were afraid of it, they didn’t use it. Zhongjing cited the evidence of Baihu Decoction as saying that there is no great heat, and the evidence of yuemaiden decoction is the same. The two parties mainly use gypsum, but Zhongjing’s medication can be seen without its cold and heat. I also believe in ancient times. Therefore, those who are thirsty for home but have no heat will be given plaster, and the disease has not seen its harm; When Fang Yan heatstroke, those who suffer from great thirst and drink more than thirst will be made to take plaster powder and stop their thirst, and their harm will no longer be seen; Plaster can cure thirst but not fear, so we can know our friends.
6. Essays of Chongqing Hall: Yu Shiyu thought plaster was the main medicine for curing epidemic diseases, while Wu could use rhubarb, saying plaster was not available. Why? Gai Shiyu said that summer heat is the disease and summer heat is the weather, that is, Zhong Sheng said that the disease in clearing evil is also the disease. It can also be said that dampness and temperature are diseases and dampness is earth Qi, that is, the disease in the cloud and turbid evil of Zhongsheng. Clearing evil is an invisible dry fire, so it is better to be clear than to go down; Turbid evil is tangible dampness and filth, so it is better to go down than clear. Both men are wise and can be used as two methods to cure epidemic diseases.
7. Reference to western medicine: plaster, cool and dispersible, has the power to penetrate the surface and relieve muscles. If you feel really hot, you can use it boldly, which is better than the golden elixir. Shennong Ben Jing says that it is slightly cold, so its nature is not very cold. It is said that it is suitable for milk production, and its nature is especially pure and good. Doctors often mistakenly believe that the cold and calcine it, then the nature of Xuansan becomes convergence (those who point tofu must calcine it, so it can converge). In order to treat those with external heat, they actually restrain their phlegm and fire, condense and do not disperse, and use it for one or two is enough to hurt people, which is to turn golden elixir into poison. When it comes to the misuse of calcined gypsum, the popular view is that it is not the calcination that is to blame. Instead, it is said that the calcination of gypsum is fierce enough to hurt people, and it is even more obvious for those who do not calcine. So he advocated all kinds of harmony, so he regarded the use of plaster as a daunting way, that is, those who had the courage to use it were only seven or eight dollars. The quality of husband’s plaster is the heaviest. Seven or eight dollars is only a handful of ears. If you want to use a handful of cold medicine to put out the heat of cold, warm and prairie fire, how can it be effective. It is the foolish use of raw plaster to treat exogenous excess heat, and mild diseases must be up to two; If it is really hot, and it is always reused to four, five or seven or eight Liang, or used alone or with other drugs, it is necessary to decoct three or four tea cups of soup and drink it slowly five times. The heat does not need to be used up. Those who take so many fried Xu clothes want to avoid the fear of the sick family, and want their medicine to be often in the upper coke and the middle coke, and the cold will not invade and cause slippery diarrhea. This sutra says that plaster is used to cure golden sores, which is used externally to stop its blood. Foolish taste with calcined gypsum fine powder, apply gold sore bleeding is very effective. Lime on the wall for many years is good at stopping gold sore bleeding. The calcined gypsum is similar to lime. It is beneficial to see that the calcined gypsum can not be taken orally.
8. Ben Jing: the wind is cold and hot in the main body, the heart is against Qi, the breath is startled, the mouth is dry and the tongue is scorched, unable to rest, abdominal pain, milk production and golden sores.
9. Bielu: in addition to Qi, headache, body heat, triple energizer fever, skin heat, midgut diaphragm heat, relieving muscle sweating, relieving thirst, dyspepsia, abdominal distention, wheezing and swallowing heat. It can also be used as bath soup.
10. On medicinal properties: treat typhoid fever, headache like crack, strengthen heat, skin like fire, thirst, relieve muscle, produce toxic sweat, mainly dredge the knot in the stomach, be bored, be anxious under the heart, be irritable, and treat dry lips and mouth. Fried tea with scallions to get a headache.
11. Rihuazi materia medica: cure the fever of heaven, lower the milk, turn the head wind, be agitated, wipe the teeth and benefit the teeth.
12. Pearl sac: stop Yangming (headache), thirst, heatstroke and hot flashes.
13. Heart method of medication: cold medicine for stomach meridian can moisten lung and remove heat, spread Yin and evil, slow spleen and replenish qi.
14. Yang tuying: calcination is the best way to recover sores and dizziness, not to rot muscles.
15. Materia medica Mengjia: epigastric pain is very serious, swallowing.
16. Changsha Yaojie: clearing the heart and lungs, treating irritability, relieving depression and heat, stopping dryness and thirst, treating fever mania, coughing with fire, collecting hot sweat, eliminating hot phlegm, staying in the nose, regulating mouth sores, managing sore throat, dredging milk, calming breast carbuncle, relieving fire and burning, and treating golden sores.
17. Re innovation of materia medica: it can cure headache, fever, dizziness and pannus, toothache, kill insects and facilitate urination.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Shi Gao (gypsum) 
Gypsum, its chemical name is: calcium sulfate dihydrate. Calcium sulfate is slightly soluble in water, but it enters the stomach after oral administration. Under the action of gastric acid, part of it is transformed into calcium chloride and soluble calcium salt. In Inorganic Chemistry and organic chemistry, only calcium chloride and calcium nitrate dissolved in water can be transported to all parts of the body and participate in the physiological function of the body with the flow of blood. When calcium ions in the body encounter organic acids produced by body metabolism or pathogenic microorganisms in the body, they will become insoluble calcium salts and lose toxicity.
Especially in patients with high fever, metabolic acidosis occurs, and its gypsum preparation has excellent performance: it not only neutralizes the organic acids causing poisoning, but also acts with the amino acids in pathogenic microorganisms to lose nutrition and be inhibited. Although gypsum is not an antibiotic, it plays a role in inhibiting the reproduction and development of pathogenic microorganisms – not antibiotics are better than antibiotics, and it has a wide range of functions. It is effective for all pathogenic microorganisms. Once again, it has no drug resistance and no side effects; Although gypsum is not an antipyretic, it neutralizes the toxin and reduces the fever of the body, which plays a role in understanding the hot medicine;
Why can calcium preparation resist allergy? Not only can calcium ions maintain the normal function of nerves, but also calcium ions can interact with histamine produced by allergy, making it inactive and anti allergic.
Calcium preparation also has the functions of hemostasis, preventing fluid exudation and eliminating inflammation. It has magical effects in the treatment of burns. (what is the action mechanism needs to be studied together).
Many traditional Chinese medicines, such as cold water stone, keel, oyster, Fulong liver, gelatin, aged lime, white clay, and the carbonization of many traditional Chinese medicines, are calcium preparations. He has made indelible achievements in clearing heat and detoxification, treating high fever diseases, treating burns, hemostasis, anti allergy and so on. Under the action of gastric acid, its solubility, and adsorption make the pharmacology of calcium preparations somewhat similar.

4. Compendium of materia medica: “the kidney is bitter and dry, so it is better to eat Xin to moisten it; the lung is bitter and inverse, so it is better to eat bitter and diarrhea. The work of Anemarrhena is cold and cold, the lower part moistens the kidney and nourishes Yin, the upper part clears the lung and reduces fire, which is the division of two meridians and Qi; the Cortex Phellodendri is the division of kidney and blood, so the two drugs must be used together. In the past, for example, shrimp and jellyfish must be attached to each other.” [1] 5. The scripture meets the original: “Zhimu, the Scripture says that in addition to evil Qi, limb edema refers to damp and hot water. Therefore, it is said that water can supplement deficiency and replenish qi. It is a time when damp and heat are more than fire, shining and burning essence. Therefore, it is used to clear heat and nourish yin. When the evil heat is removed, the healthy qi will be restored.”
6. Materia medica Justice: “Anemarrhena asphodeloides is cold and moist. It can stop the solid fire, drain the lung to relieve the blocked heat.

It is appropriate to clear the stomach to save the body fluid, eliminate the heat in the middle, and avoid the bad temper. It can dredge the bladder waterway, cure the heat at the beginning of turbidity, cut down the evil of phase fire, and it is the standard agent for strengthening yang without impotence. The heat disease lies in Yangming, thirst and sweating, the pulse is hot, and plaster is used to eliminate inflammation; the malaria syndrome lies in the Taiyin , moist and turbid fumigation, sweating and hot, with grass and fruit to relieve spleen heat. See the main treatment for details, but there are more than four words of real heat. ”[discussion by various schools] 1.

Compendium of Materia Medica
9. Seeking the source of materia medica: treating coughing blood, asthma, gonorrhea, mouth disease, urinary blood, stress, night sweats, spermatorrhea, arthralgia, impotence and Cistanche.
10. Medical Qiyuan: Anemarrhena asphodeloides, as the assistant to urinate, is the medicine in the kidney. Both the upper part and the meridians are fried with wine. It is better to shave off the hair and whiten the inside.
11. Li Gao: Anemarrhena has four functions: purging the kidney fire without roots, curing the bone steaming with sweat, stopping the heat of asthenia and fatigue, and nourishing the Yin of the source. Zhong Jing uses this into Baihu Decoction to treat those who can’t sleep. Annoyance comes from the lung and irritability comes from the kidney. You use gypsum, supplemented by the bitter cold of Anemarrhena, to clear the source of the kidney, and slow down the descent with licorice and japonica rice. Also, for those who are sick and thirsty due to blocked urination, the heat is divided in the upper Jiao Qi , there is heat in the lung, which can not generate water, and the bladder has no source of hydration. It is advisable to use drugs with thin Qi, weak taste and permeability to reduce lung fire, clear lung gold and nourish the source of hydration. If the heat is scorched at the bottom, and the blood is not thirsty, the real water is insufficient, the bladder is dry, and there is no Yin, then there is no Yang. The method should use drugs with great bitterness and cold of Cortex Phellodendri and Anemarrhena to replenish the kidney and bladder, so that Yin Qi can flow, Yang can change and urinate.
12. Compendium of materia medica: the kidney is bitter and dry, so it is better to eat Xin to moisten it; the lung is bitter and inverse, so it is better to eat bitter and diarrhea. The work of Anemarrhena is cold and cold, the lower part moistens the kidney and nourishes Yin, the upper part clears the lung and reduces fire, which is the division of two meridians and Qi; the Cortex Phellodendri is the division of kidney and blood, so the two drugs must be used together. In the past, for example, shrimp and jellyfish must be attached to each other.
13. Materia medica tongxuan : Anemarrhena asphodeloides is bitter and cold. It has a thick smell. It is heavy and drops. It is the kidney meridian medicine. Those who can also clear the lung should eliminate the Dragon thunder. If they don’t use it, there will be no danger that the Taiyin of their hands will disappear. There is more than enough fire to reduce thirst. It can be used to clear the fire. Taking more medicine can make people diarrhea and reduce food. Only those who burn with solid fire can be used temporarily. If it is applied to those who lose money, it will benefit like water It’s deep. Covering the taste of bitterness and cold and carrying out the order of killing heaven and earth is not the same as raising all things.
14. Draft : the ancient book says that Anemarrhena asphodeloides, together with Cortex Phellodendri, can nourish yin and reduce fire, which means that gold and water coexist. It is said that Cortex Phellodendri can control the fire in the Yin of bladder and life gate, that Anemarrhena asphodeloides can eliminate lung gold, and make the fire of kidney hydration source, and that removing fire can protect Yin. Therefore, Jiegu and Dongyuan both think that they are important drugs for nourishing yin and reducing fire. Since Danxi, they have been used to replenish Yin, which is a great fallacy. My husband and mother have the nature of sinking cold, and there is no such medicine Anger can be used to clear fire and to replenish Yin. How can it be replenished?.
15. Meaning of Medicine: Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Cortex Phellodendri are used together, not to reduce fire, but to help water; walking with Fritillaria is not to clear phlegm, but to nourish yin.
16. New edition of Materia Medica : Anemarrhena asphodeloides tastes bitter and pungent, and its Qi is cold. It sinks and falls, and its Yin is also non-toxic. It enters Shaoyin and Yangming, and starts with the Taiyin. It is best to relieve the fire of the stomach and kidney channels, quench thirst and heat, and cure long-term malaria. It can only be used temporarily, not for a long time. Danxi is added to Liuwei pill, which also teaches people to take it temporarily to relieve the floating fire in the kidney, not for a long time. Phellodendron arborescens does not get into Qi, but Anemarrhena has not It does not enter the blood. Huang Baiqing can clear the fire in the kidney and the fire in the lung. Anemarrhena asphodeloides can drain the heat in the kidney and also the heat in the stomach. The stomach is an organ with more Qi and more blood. It does not enter the blood but not the Qi. It is two drugs and does not need to be used at the same time.
17. The scripture meets the original: Anemarrhena, the Scripture says that removing evil Qi and swelling limbs refers to damp and hot water. Therefore, it is said that water can supplement deficiency and replenish qi. It is a time when damp and heat are more than fire, and the essence is bright and burning. Therefore, use this to clear heat and nourish yin. When the evil heat is removed, the healthy qi will be restored.
18. Chongqing Tang essays : Anemarrhena asphodeloides, clearing lung and stomach qi and dividing heat, the body fluid will not be consumed, but Yin will grow secretly. However, Zhong Shengyun, stomach qi generates heat, and its Yang will be unique. If the stomach heat is too high, Yin will not be enough to mix with Yang, and the body fluid will gradually dry, resulting in a disease that is boring and can not kill the grain. If its Yang is unique, that is, if the body fluid dries up, clearing its heat and keeping the Yang constant, it will be the medicine to save the body fluid. Although it is called tonifying yang, it is considered cold and cool by later generations , it’s not the favorite of the stomach family. Don’t use it lightly. What’s wrong with those who often engage in fragrant, dry, warm and tonic medicine!.
19. Ben Jing Shu Zheng: it is well known that Anemarrhena can benefit Yin, clear heat and quench thirst. It can enter the water. It is rare for the ancients to use it, and the later scholars do not know its reason. Qianjin and waitai use Anemarrhena to treat water and Qi. Qianjin It is said that some people suffer from edema with large abdomen, firm as a stone, thin limbs, less hard work, swollen shins, and shortness of breath after eating less. For this lifelong disease, it is advisable to take this medicine to relieve rheumatism, relieve urination, eliminate water and valley. Taking it for a long time can be effective and can be taken often after suffering. The medicine used is added to Wuling powder to increase ghost arrow feathers, Salvia miltiorrhiza, angelica, Gentiana macrophylla and seaweed. According to waitai, Zeqi Decoction in the ancient and modern records can cure cold and heat when the wind blows, and the body is like blowing, and the pulse floats. The medicine used is Alisma orientalis, Anemarrhena, seaweed, Poria cocos, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Gentiana macrophylla, Fangji, Polyporus umbellata, rhubarb, Tongcao and wood fragrance. It can eliminate rheumatism and facilitate urination. It can cure cold and heat when the wind blows, and drink more and more swelling. You can see this classic The effect of getting into the water can be seen in addition to the swelling of the limbs. The swelling of the limbs treated by Anemarrhena asphodeloides is evil Qi limb swelling, which is more than common limb swelling. It is the accumulation of cold and heat outside, the evil fire inside, and the thirst leads to drinking. The fire can’t melt the water, so the water overflows everywhere. The treatment of Anemarrhena asphodeloides is to vent its fire, so that it can’t be used for thirst to drink, the water can’t continue, and the storage can be turned away. In this sense, it is still to cure thirst, not water Here, I see that those who are swollen in one place and lose weight in other places are mostly trapped by evil Qi and blocked by water and fire. It is not especially edema in Qianjin recipe, with large abdomen and thin limbs, that is, Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Decoction in Synopsis of the golden chamber, with swollen feet and one of them. In Jinkui recipe, evil Qi, water and fire are blocked at the bottom, and Qianjin recipe The evil Qi, water and fire are mutually obstructed in the middle, and the person who is obstructed in the lower is not a work unless it is divergent. The person who is obstructed in the middle is not the source of seepage and profit. Therefore, Wuling powder is used in Qianjin recipe, and ephedra, aconite and Fangfeng are used in Jinkui recipe. However, their essence is the mutual obstruction of water and fire, so GUI, Shu and Anemarrhena are the same. GUI and Shu are used to treat water
Poria cocos
It can be seen from this that the resistance of Zhimu to control fire.
20. Records of Chinese medicine and Western Medicine : Anemarrhena asphodeloides is neither very cold nor very bitter. If it is used in combination with Astragalus membranaceus, it will not feel cold and hot. Its nature is not very cold. It is also known that Anemarrhena asphodeloides is boiled with one or two coins of licorice, that is, sweetness is better than bitterness, and its taste is not very bitter. Cold and bitterness are not very big, and there are many liquids, so it can nourish yin. It is said that Anemarrhena asphodeloides, but those who can reduce fever but can not nourish Yin are still shallow. It depends on Anemarrhena. It is a cure for foolishness For the syndrome of heat excess pulse number, Anemarrhena must be used. If Astragalus is used to replenish qi, those who fear that they will not suffer from heat will also be supplemented by Anemarrhena.
Astragalus membranaceus
21. Materia medica justice : Anemarrhena asphodeloides is cold and moist. It can stop the excess fire, relieve the lung to relieve the blocking heat. It is suitable for the dry cough of lung carbuncle, and avoid the cough of deficiency heat. It is appropriate to clear the stomach to save the body fluid, eliminate the heat in the middle, and avoid the bad temper. It can dredge the bladder waterway, treat the heat at the beginning of turbidity, cut down the evil of phase fire, and it is the standard agent for strengthening yang without impotence. The heat disease is in Yangming, thirsty and sweating, and the pulse is hot. It is supplemented with gypsum to eliminate inflammation; the malaria syndrome is in the Taiyin , moist and turbid fumigation, sweating and hot, with grass and fruit to relieve spleen heat. See the main treatment for details, but there are more than four words of real heat.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Zhi Mu (anemarrhena)
① Antibacterial effect
Anemarrhena asphodeloides decoction has strong inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus and typhoid bacilli on agar plate, dysentery bacilli, paratyphoid bacilli, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Vibrio cholerae. On Saber’s medium, it also has some antibacterial effects on some common pathogenic dermatophytes. Ether extract and the crude crystals treated with acetone in this extract H37Rv human Mycobacterium tuberculosis subspecies on Bayer’s medium had strong inhibitory effect. The minimum effective concentration of the former was 1:64000 (serum-free) or 1:16000 (serum-added) The latter is 1:16000 to 1:8000, and the saponins produced by the predecessors have no such effect. In the treatment of experimental tuberculosis in mice, feeding with 2.5% Anemarrhena powder has inhibitory effect on pulmonary tuberculosis, but the mortality of mice is not significantly different from that of the control group; if the increase is to 5%, the pulmonary tuberculosis index (reflecting the general lesion of the lung) is not significant. In the treatment of experimental tuberculosis in guinea pigs, Anemarrhena asphodeloides showed a therapeutic effect, and the lung lesions were reduced by about 1 / 2 compared with the control group.
② Antipyretic action
2 ml / kg of extract (1 ml is equivalent to 2 g of crude medicine) and 2.3 ml of E. coli (0.03%) were injected subcutaneously into rabbits at the same time, or E. coli was injected first, and then the extract was injected every 15 minutes. The body temperature did not rise, so it was considered to have antipyretic effect.
③ Other functions
When the extract is injected intravenously into rabbits, it has no effect on respiration and blood pressure at a small dose (0.5ml neutral stock solution of the extract). The medium dose (1 ~ 3ml) can inhibit respiration and slightly reduce blood pressure. A large amount (7ml) will stop breathing and reduce blood pressure, resulting in death. The extract (0.001 ~ 1%) Low concentration had no significant effect on the heart of in situ toads, medium dose inhibited, a large amount paralyzed the heart, and had no significant effect on the isolated uterus of pregnant rabbits.
Anemarrhena dry extract (6g / kg) After injection to normal rabbits, no effect on blood sugar was found. Alcohol extract can cause temporary blood sugar rise. It was reported that water extract can give 200 mg / kg of oral blood to rabbits, which can cause blood sugar to drop, especially for four alloxan diabetic rabbits. The amount of glycogen in diaphragm increased slightly, but the content of glycogen in liver decreased. In the experimental diabetic mice, intravenous injection of 100~150 mg / kg of Anemarrhena rhizome aqueous extract decreased blood glucose and decreased ketone body in urine, and the mortality rate was lighter than that in group four.

Yi laoyun: light and like lung, red and like fire, and can reduce the fire in swelling.
Tang Ye materia medica: cold in air, slightly bitter in taste, cold in nature, thin in taste, Yin in Yang, non-toxic.
“Elephant” says: treat upset, regret but can’t sleep, mind and spirit are reversed, desire is absolute, blood stagnation, urination is unfavorable. Use the pestle carefully.
“Heart” says: to get rid of the heat in the heart, in addition to irritability, it can be used with black bean sauce.
Jane says: quench your thirst, remove your chagrin and irritability.
The materia medica says: the Lord has evil Qi in the five internal organs, hot Qi in the stomach, red face, wine blister, nose, white scab, red scab and sores. It can treat red pain in eyes, big chest and heart, big heat in small intestine, boredom in heart and hot gas in stomach.
Zhongjing uses Gardenia to treat trouble, and his chest is the highest. Therefore, Yi laoyun said: frivolous and like the lung, red and like fire, so it can drain the fire in the lung. The materia medica doesn’t spit. Zhong Jing uses it as medicine for spitting. Gardenia is not supposed to vomit medicine. It is evil Qi on the body. It refuses to accept it, so it makes the body vomit and the evil cause can come out. According to the Sutra, the higher one is, the better it is. Or use Gardenia to urinate, which is not beneficial to urinate and clear the lung. The lung qi is clear and melted, and the bladder is the house of body fluid. Urination can be gasified out. This sutra says that it can cure large and small intestinal heat, combine Xin with Geng, combine with C, and release Wu. It entered Zhongzhou first. Start the Taiyin. Gardenia black bean soup can cure irritability, which means that those who are annoyed have Qi and those who are dry have blood. Blood governs the lung and blood governs the kidney. Therefore, gardenia is used to treat lung annoyance and Xiangchi is used to treat kidney irritability. An impatient man can’t sleep. Add licorice to those with less Qi deficiency and full body. If you vomit, add ginger and orange peel. The lower abdomen is full and annoying, gardenia Houpu Zhishi decoction. The lower back is slightly hot, gardenia, licorice and dried ginger soup. Gardenia is big and dyed by the elderly. It can’t be used as medicine. The skin is thin and round. Those with seven edges to nine edges are famous mountain gardenia. The so-called peach is also.
Yan Yi said: Zhong Jingzhi was cured of typhoid fever. After sweating and vomiting, he was tired and couldn’t sleep. If the dramatist will turn upside down repeatedly, he will be chagrined in his heart and treat virtual annoyance with gardenia black bean soup. Therefore, rhubarb is not used, so it has cold poison. Although gardenia is cold and non-toxic, it can cure the heat in the stomach. Not only the blood and body fluid die, but also the viscera are not moistened and nourished, and the internal deficiency heat is generated, which must be eliminated. It also cures the heat in the heart meridian and makes the urine red and astringent. Peel gardenia, simmer over fire, roast rhubarb, forsythia, licorice, etc., and fry three money dagger in water. Those who take it will have no effect.
Zhongjing’s treatise on Febrile Diseases and famous doctors of ancient and modern times all use gardenia, Herba Artemisiae, fragrant black bean and licorice as soup to treat hair yellow. Also treat serious diseases, Lao Fu, all use gardenia, mouse arrow and other soup, and facilitate urination and healing. There are too many ways to know. Use benevolence to remove the heat in the heart and chest, and skin to remove the heat on the muscle surface.
Supplement to the derivation of materia medica: bending down can reduce fire and cure fire in the block. The materia medica says: remove the heat and poison wind, benefit the five drenches and urinate. You Yun: Although gardenia is cold and non-toxic, it can cure the heat in the stomach. That is, dead blood and semen. There is no moistening and nourishing of the viscera. Wind generates virtual heat. It must be removed.
The play of materia medica: there is no self in success. It is said that pain can pass through it. The pain of gardenia is filled with empty annoyance.
Jiegu cloud: cold in nature, bitter in taste, thin in Qi and thick in taste, light and clear in the upward direction, floating in air and falling in taste, and Yang and Yin. There are four uses: to remove the heat of the heart meridian guest, in addition to irritability, to remove the deficiency heat of Shangjiao, and to treat wind heat. Another cloud: Gardenia is cold and tastes slightly bitter. Treat upset, chagrin, restlessness, mind reversal, desire, blood stagnation, adverse urination. Another cloud: bitter, pure Yang, quench thirst.
Compendium of materia medica: it can cure hematemesis, bleeding, dysentery, bleeding, blood drenching, injury and blood stasis, typhoid fever and fatigue, febrile syncope, headache, hernia and soup fire injury.
New edition of materia medica: Gardenia tastes bitter and cold. It can rise and fall. It is also Yin and Yang. It is non-toxic. It can enter the liver, lung and heart. There is a medicine that can be used as an assistant, which can be entered by all meridians. It is specially used to relieve the fire in the liver. For the rest, it must use other drugs to induce menstruation and then relieve it. It can stop hypochondriac pain, diarrhea of Jiao fire evil, dispel heat in dampness, eliminate five arthralgia and yellow disease, and stop cholera from turning into tendons and dysentery. Spit when you use it, and benefit when you use it. It can be a medicine for ministers, not for kings. Although mountain gardenia is not necessarily a king. When the two flanks are in great pain, after the heart gentleman brushes the chaos, if you don’t use the mountain Gardenia as the king, it will be in urgent need. It will become unspeakable. Use the mountain Gardenia three or five coins, attached with licorice, white mustard, white peony, Atractylodes, Guanzhong and so on, stop the pain in the throat, and the chaos will be settled. Its speed effect is unimaginable. However, mountain gardenia is like an assistant to a monarch, a minister and an envoy. If it is not appropriate, it should be used well by people, not rigidly.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Zhi Zi (gardenia)
① Cholagogic effect
Oral administration of Gardenia water extract and alcohol extract to rabbits had no effect on the amount of bile and solid components derived from the bile duct, but some people injected the same preparation into rabbits, the bile secretion began to increase in 15 ~ 30 minutes and lasted for more than 1 hour. After intravenous injection of saffron and sodium saffron, bile secretion increased. The gallbladder was photographed after oral administration of Gardenia decoction or granule, which proved that the gallbladder had obvious contractile effect 20 and 40 minutes after taking the medicine. After ligation of the rabbit’s main bile duct, oral administration of Gardenia water extract reduces bilirubin in blood. The more drugs are used, the more significant the reduction is (for example, oral administration once every 24 hours after ligation, the result is very obvious). Especially after continuous administration of an appropriate amount of drugs, the effect is the best. Alcohol extract also has the same effect, but its effect is slightly weaker than that of water extract. When the mast alcohol extract was injected into rabbits, the blood bilirubin in 2 hours was slightly higher than that in the control group, lower than that in the control group after 6 hours, and significantly decreased after 24 ~ 48 hours. Saffron and sodium saffron also had the same effect. In rabbits with common bile duct ligation, injection of alcohol extract reduced bilirubin in peripheral lymph for 24 hours, and saffron and sodium saffron also had the same effect. Gardenia can be used for jaundice caused by biliary inflammation.
② Sedative and hypotensive effects
Subcutaneous injection of Gardenia flow extract in mice reduced spontaneous activity, closed eyes, lowered head and muscle relaxation, and could resist pentylenetetrazol convulsion, but could not resist strychnine convulsion, but could reduce its mortality. Compared with the ash content of flow extract, the above effects were not seen. It is also useful to eliminate insomnia and excessive fatigue. Gardenia Decoction and alcohol extract have a lasting hypotensive effect on anesthetized or non anesthetized cats, rats and rabbits, whether orally or intraperitoneally. The hypotensive effect is rapid and maintained for a short time. The hypotensive site seems to be in the parasympathetic center of the medulla oblongata.
③ Antimicrobial effect
Gardenia water diffuse solution has inhibitory effect on many fungi such as tinea chrysalis, tinea inguinalis and tinea rubrum in the test arm. Its water decoction of 15mg / ml can kill Leptospira. In vitro, gardenia decoction can stop the activity of Schistosoma japonicum, and the decoction has no inhibitory effect on the growth of bacteria.
④ Other functions
Gardenia alcohol extract can stimulate the isolated intestinal smooth muscle of rabbits and rats at low concentration and inhibit it at high concentration. Geniposide has a purgative effect on mice. Its extract is made into ointment, which can accelerate the healing of soft tissue.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology:  Tian Hua Fen (trichosanthe)

1. Abortion and anti-early pregnancy effect
1.1. The effect of Trichosanthes for injection on uterine contraction in early pregnancy rabbits:

Mature female rabbits were used in the experiment. The mating day is regarded as the first day of pregnancy. On the 10th day of pregnancy, under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia, a latex water sac (about 1 ml in volume) connected to a thin plastic tube was placed into one side of the uterine cavity through an abdominal incision. Thin plastic tubes are led out from the neck through the abdomen and back under the skin. The abdominal wound was sutured. From the next day, the intrauterine pressure changes of the operated rabbits were recorded in a awake state. When tracing the uterine activity, fill the thin plastic tube and milk capsule with water, connect the plastic tube to the pressure transducer, and trace the uterine contraction activity curve through the recorder. All experimental rabbits recorded spontaneous uterine activity before administration, and performed an oxytocin test, that is, after 0.1 unit of synthetic oxytocin (product of Shanghai No. 10 Pharmaceutical Factory) was injected intravenously from the rabbit’s ear border, the uterine reaction was observed. The spontaneous uterine activity and oxytocin test were repeated 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration. The experiment was divided into groups, with 4-5 rabbits in each group. Control group: no drugs, only intramuscular injection of normal saline 0.5ml/rabbit; trichosanthes group: on the 11th day of pregnancy, intramuscular injection of trichosanthes (product of Shanghai Biochemical Pharmaceutical Factory, aseptic freezing of crude extract of trichosanthes) Dry preparation, each ampoule contains 2mg), 2mg/kg; Megestrol 10 days trichosanthin group: 1 hour before trichosanthin injection, intramuscular injection of megestrol suspension (provided by Shanghai No. 12 Pharmaceutical Factory) 10mg/ kg; Indomethacin plus trichosanthin group: In addition to intramuscular injection of trichosanthin (2mg/kg), at the same time, intramuscular injection of indomethacin (prepared with sesame oil) on the 11th, 12th, and 13th days of pregnancy, twice a day, each dose 5mg/kg. The experimental results show that the uterus of the early-pregnancy rabbits is in a completely resting state and lacks response to the stimulation of oxytocin substances. However, 24 or 48 hours after injection of sufficient amount of trichosanthes, the spontaneous uterine activity is gradually strengthened, and the uterus is responsive to oxytocin substances. Also significantly improved.

In addition, the above-mentioned experiments also proved that Trichosanthes can also have a significant anti-early pregnancy effect in a certain dose. It can necrosis and liquefy the blastocyst, and finally absorb it completely. Although the activating effect of trichosanthes on the uterine muscle of rabbits can be prevented by the supplement of exogenous progesterone or the application of prostaglandin synthesis inhibition, the anti-early pregnancy effect of trichosanthes cannot be resisted. This result suggests that the effect of Trichosanthes in terminating pregnancy is not secondary to the suppression of hormone secretion, or the synthesis and release of prostaglandins, which supports the direct effect of Trichosanthes on placental trophoblast cells to terminate pregnancy.

According to another report, the rabbit’s uterine horn is about 1.5cm hung on the ventilation hook, and placed in a Mars bath, which contains 50ml of nutrient solution, passes through a mixture of 95% O2 and 5% CO2, a water bath at 37°C, and a lever for uterine movement. Described on the Jiwen Drum. First trace the spontaneous uterine activity for 30 minutes, and then add 15-methyl prostaglandin F2a (15-A-PGF2a) to determine the minimum threshold concentration of 15-A-PGF2d that increases the frequency and amplitude of uterine tension or contraction. A total of 6 isolated uterus experiments were performed in the control group of animals. Except for one uterus with spontaneous rhythmic contraction, the other 5 uterus had no spontaneous contraction. The minimum threshold concentration of increased tension caused by the addition of 15-methyl-PGF2a was 10-1000mg/ml. Among the 6 uteruses in the Trichosanthes group, 5 uteruses had obvious spontaneous rhythmic contractions, and only one uterus had no spontaneous contractions. The minimum threshold concentration of excitement caused by the addition of 15-methyl-PGF2a was 1-10mg/ml. Experiments show that Trichosanthes can increase the spontaneous contraction activity of the pseudopregnant rabbit uterus 24 hours after the medication.

1.2. The effect of Trichosanthes for injection on uterine progesterone receptor (PR) and estrogen receptor (ER) in pseudopregnant rabbits: Take healthy mature female rabbits weighing more than 2.5kg and inject human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) intravenously 500 units to produce false pregnancy, the day of injection is regarded as false pregnancy for 1 day, and then the animals are divided into 2 groups with 7-8 animals in each group. On the 6th and 7th days of pseudopregnancy, the trichosanthes group was given intramuscular injections of trichosanthes injection (produced by Shanghai Biochemical Pharmaceutical Factory, dissolved to 5mg/2ml with normal saline before use) 2 mg/kg once a day. The control group was injected with normal saline 0.8ml/kg once a day. On the 8th day, 2 ml of blood was taken from the ear vein and placed in a centrifuge tube containing heparin (about 0.5 mg), and centrifuged to obtain plasma for the measurement of progesterone. Then the rabbits were bloodletted and sacrificed. The uterus was immediately removed by laparotomy. A section of the uterus was cut and placed in the nutrient solution for the in vitro uterine experiment. The remaining part was washed 3 times with ice normal saline, and then cut into pieces and pressed 1:3 with the buffer solution ( W/V) Mix at a ratio, place in a homogenization tube, and make a homogenate under low temperature conditions for receptor determination. The determination of P-R and E-R and the determination of KA value adopt the radioreceptor measurement method, refer to the method of Rayard et al. and Andersan et al. and slightly modify the experimental conditions. The protein content of uterine cytoplasmic fluid was measured by Loury method, and the DNA content of uterine cell nucleus was measured by diphenylamine method. The cytoplasmic fluid receptor was expressed as fmol/mg protein, and the nuclear receptor was expressed as fmol/mgDNA. Make a Scatchardplot to obtain the KA values ​​of progesterone and P-R and estradiol and E-R. The plasma progesterone concentration was determined according to the method reported by horneycroft, using 11a hydroxyprogesterone succinic anhydride bovine serum albumin as the antigen to immunize rabbits, and the antiserum titer was more than 1:2000.

The experimental results showed that the P-R content of uterine cytoplasm and nucleus on the eighth day of pseudopregnancy was significantly different between the two groups after t test, indicating that the P-R content of pseudopregnant rabbit uterus can be reduced after injection of trichosanthes. Use Scatchardplot to obtain the KA value of progesterone and cytosolic PR: KA=1.08×10(9)M-1 in the control group, KA=0.28×10(9)M in the trichosanthin group, indicating that trichosanthin significantly reduces the affinity of progesterone and PR . The E-R content of uterine cytoplasm and nucleus on the eighth day of pseudopregnancy showed no significant difference between the two groups by t test. The KA value of estradiol and ER: control value KA=1.01×10(9)M-1, trichosanthes Group KA=1.1×10(9)M-1, there was no significant difference between the two groups, indicating that the trichosanthes group had no significant effect on the ER of the pseudopregnant rabbit uterus. There was no significant difference in the plasma progesterone concentration of pseudopregnant rabbits on the 8th day between the control group and the trichosanthin group.

It is generally believed that uterine activity is regulated by hormones. Csapo et al. reported that the pregnancy uterus is in a resting state, which is related to the higher plasma progesterone concentration in the body. The uterine activity of pregnant rabbits can be inhibited by progesterone, and make it affect oxytocin and prostate. Vegetarians are not sensitive. Shu Huaide et al. It has been reported that Trichosanthes can increase the spontaneous contraction activity of the uterus of pregnant rabbits. It is believed that this effect may be related to the damage of the embryos of Trichosanthes, which reduces the level of progesterone in the body and promotes the release of prostaglandins from the decidua. The experiment uses pseudo pregnant rabbits to measure the plasma progesterone concentration on the 8th day, which is similar to the plasma progesterone concentration of pregnant rabbits reported in the same period by Balduin et al. The progesterone concentration does not decrease after injection of trichosanthes, similar to the control blood, but it can make the uterus The spontaneous contraction increased significantly, indicating that the damage of trichosanthes to the embryo and decidua and the secondary decrease of progesterone may not be the main mechanism of the increase of spontaneous contraction of the uterus caused by trichosanthes. Hai et al. reported that the content of P-R in the nucleus of the uterus decreased in preclinical pregnant rats, and believed that the increase in clinical uterine activity was due to the decrease in the content of P-R in the uterus. Experiments have observed that 15-methyl-PGF2a has a luteinizing effect on pseudopregnant rabbits. The plasma progesterone concentration drops to a very low level 24 hours after injection of 15-methyl-PGF2a. At this time, the PR receptor content of the uterus increases, but the uterus has no effect. Obviously spontaneous contraction is still at rest. Trichosanthes does not change the plasma progesterone concentration of pseudo-pregnant rabbits, but reduces the P-R content of the uterus and decreases the affinity of progesterone and P-R, while at the same time the spontaneous contraction of the uterus increases significantly. So imagine that trichosanthes

Decreasing the content of P-R in the uterus and reducing the affinity of progesterone and P-R may be an important mechanism for the increase of spontaneous uterine contraction activity caused by trichosanthes, and uterine P-R may be related to the regulation of uterine activity.

1.3. The effect of Trichosanthes on the anti-early pregnancy of mice:

Take mature female and male mice in a 2:1 cage, and check the vagina every morning to find the vaginal plug day as the first day of pregnancy. On the 4th and 5th day of pregnancy, 1 subcutaneous injection of trichosanthes per 10g body weight was injected once a day, and the animals were dissected on the 8th day of pregnancy, and the number of pregnant animals was recorded. When the dosage of trichosanthes is 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625mg/kg, the pregnancy inhibition rate is 100%, 81.17%, 47.16%, 47.16% and 12.69%, respectively. Using the simplified probability unit method to calculate the half effective amount of trichosanthes anti-early pregnancy It is 1.78±0.28mg/kg.

It has been reported in the literature that 0.4 mg of trichosanthes can be administered intramuscularly, but the inhibitory effect on early-pregnant mice is not ideal. The above experiment also observed that Trichosanthes can terminate early pregnancy in mice, and its effect increases with the increase of dose. However, when a dose that makes the pregnancy inhibition rate reach over 80%, it can significantly reduce the weight of mice and cause certain toxicity to the body. This shows that clinically, due to the limitation of drug toxicity, the purpose of improving the efficacy and shortening the time of miscarriage cannot be achieved by increasing the dose of trichosanthin.

1.4. The method for the effect of exogenous megestrol and chorionic gonadotropin on the anti-early pregnancy effect of trichosanthes is the same as above. On the 4th and 5th day of pregnancy, daily subcutaneous injection of trichosanthin 10mg/kg, and subcutaneous injection of 50mg/kg megestrol water suspension, or intraperitoneal injection of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) 10I.U, anatomy on the 8th day of pregnancy , Record the number of pregnant animals. The results are shown in Table 3. The pregnancy inhibition rate of the two groups of combined injection decreased. And the embryos were smaller than the control group, and some of them were separated from the endometrium and freed in the uterine cavity.

1.5. Anti-early pregnancy effect of combined administration of Dahuafen and 15-A-PGF2a on mice:

The method is the same as above. On the 4th and 5th day of pregnancy, daily subcutaneous injection of trichosanthes 0.625mg/kg, and subcutaneous injection of l5-methyl-PGF2a 0.0125mg/kg, once a day in the morning and afternoon. It is known that this dose of 15-methyl-PGF2a has a 20% inhibitory rate on early pregnancy mice. Dissected on the 8th day of pregnancy, and recorded the number of pregnant animals. The results are shown in Table 3. In the combined treatment group of Trichosanthin and 15-A-PGF2a, all 12 mice were not pregnant. The pregnancy inhibition rate of mice obtained by the combination of the two drugs was 100% (ie ED100). This shows that when 15-M-PGF 0.0125 mg/kg is used in combination with 0.625 mg/kg of trichosanthin, the anti-early pregnancy effect is not additive, but increased.

1.6. Anti-early pregnancy effects of crystalline Trichosanthes proteosome on mice:

Select 6-8 weeks of healthy and cheap female mice weighing 20-22 g, and cage them according to the ratio of male and female 2:1. Those who find vaginal thrombus are the first day of pregnancy. The female rats that see the plug were randomly divided into groups, 10-15 rats in each group. On the sixth day of pregnancy, the following experimental design groups were administered: the first group of crystalline trichosanthin-Liposome (TL), the dose was TL2ug, 4ug and 8ug per mouse, and the second group was injected with trichosanthin-Liposome. 40ug; the third group was injected with 0.5ml of blank liposomes; the fourth group was injected with 0.5ml of saline as normal control. The mice were dissected on d5 after the injection, and the embryonic development of the uterus was observed. The results showed that the anti-early pregnancy dose of TL was 2ug/head, while the simple trichosanthes dose was 40ug/head, and the anti-early pregnancy rates were 66.7% and 70% respectively. It shows that a small dose of TL has obvious anti-early pregnancy activity. TL in vitro release test confirmed that the release rate was 4.6% in 6 hours and 68.2% in 72 hours. It is suggested that liposomes are promising in the application of gastric-saving drugs and contraceptive research.

1.7. The effect of Trichosanthin liposomes on serum progesterone levels in early pregnancy mice:

The mice on the 6th day of pregnancy were injected with different doses of TL solution into the abdominal cavity. On the 5th day after the injection, the orbital blood was bled, and the serum was collected. The level of progesterone was analyzed by radioimmunoassay. Changes of serum progesterone in pregnant mice TL against early pregnancy. The experimental results suggested that the serum progesterone content was significantly different between the medication group and the control group (P<0.01). The values ​​of TL and Trichosanthes are relatively close, but the progesterone content of blank liposomes has no significant change during early pregnancy. The principle of induction of labor with trichosanthes can be summarized as follows: trichosanthin can directly act on placental trophoblast cells and has certain cell specificity; it can selectively degenerate, necrosis and disintegrate placental villi syncytial trophoblast cells. The cell fragments remain in the sinusoids, causing coagulation, causing circulatory disturbances and further massive tissue necrosis. The damage of placental villi is reflected in the function, that is, the chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and steroid hormones rapidly drop below the critical level of abortion. As a result of severe damage to the morphology and function of the placenta, the endocrine relationship between the mother and the fetus and the exchange of metabolites are destroyed, and may cause an increase in prostaglandin synthesis through an unclear mechanism, and cause uterine contractions to cause miscarriage. In addition, trichosanthes can increase the contraction of the isolated uterus of mice and the in vivo uterus of rabbits, and can increase the sensitivity of the uterus to pituitrin. Its direct excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle may also be one of the factors leading to miscarriage.

2. Anti-cancer effect
2.1. Therapeutic effect on mice with early transplantation of liver cancer ascites:

Select 18-22g healthy mice to subcutaneously inject tumor cell suspension (original times or 1:1) 0.2ml/mouse, weigh them 24 hours later, and randomly divide them into groups. The treatment group was injected subcutaneously with 0.2ml of trichosanthin (5mg/kg), and the original dose of trichosanthin was injected once again at an interval of 4-6 days. The mice in the control group were injected subcutaneously with 0.2ml of normal saline twice, with the same interval as the treatment group.

At the same time, the treatment group and the control group were respectively drawn 1ml/ascites for cytopathological examination to observe the total number of cells and cell classification. The results show that the treatment of ascites-type liver cancer with trichosanthes can reduce the amount of ascites and prolong the survival time: the experiment was repeated for 2 batches according to the 2 injections of trichosanthes subcutaneously. The survival rate was 61-76%, and the weight gain was less than that of the control group, indicating that the treatment group had less ascites. The average survival period was 29-30 days, and the longest patients were executed without seeing ascites growth for 60 days. The survival period was significantly longer than that of the control group, and the difference was significant P<0,05 (see Table 5). Most of the mice in the treatment group did not see ascites, and eventually died of toxic reactions. Occasionally, a few mice had a small amount of ascites. Pathological examination showed that the total number of cells in the ascites was small, most of which were lymphocytes, and lymphocytes surrounded cancer. The so-called satellite phenomenon of cells includes neutrophils and macrophages. In the control group, a large number of liver cancer died of ascites failure. There were many cells in the ascites, most of which were cancer cells. The third batch of treatment experiments was changed to subcutaneous injection of 0.2ml trichosanthin every 24 hours after cancer cell inoculation, and no treatment. The experiment shows that the survival rate of the treatment group can reach 85.6%, but the mice in the treatment group also have ascites. In the end all died of liver cancer.

2.2. Therapeutic effect on mice with advanced liver cancer ascites transplantation:

18-22g mice were injected subcutaneously with tumor cell suspension (1:1), weighed 24 hours and randomly grouped. Ascites had grown in 6 days. After weighing, the treatment group was injected with 0.2ml trichosanthin subcutaneously, weighed at 4 days interval. After weight loss, 0.4 or 0.2 ml of trichosanthes was injected subcutaneously, and the control group was injected with 0.2 ml of saline subcutaneously at the same interval as the treatment group. Results The amount of ascites was significantly reduced after one injection of trichosanthes, and the ascites inhibition rate reached 73% (P<0.05)

2.3. Therapeutic effect on mice with solid tumor type of liver cancer:

The experimental method is the same as above, and the results show that the inhibition rate of trichosanthes on the solid tumor of liver cancer in mice can reach 36-38.9%, and the tumor in the treatment group is significantly smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05).

2.4. The inhibitory effect of crystalline trichosanthin on tumor cells cultured in vitro:

Jar cells were cultured in RPMI1640 artificial culture medium containing 10 fetal bovine serum, plus 100ug/ml penicillin streptomycin. Hela and Fib cells use DMEM culture medium, in which the content of fetal bovine serum, penicillin and streptomycin are the same as before. The above three kinds of cells all grow in a single layer and adhere to the wall. The experiment was carried out according to the method of literature 37.

Experimental results show that crystalline trichosanthin has a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Jar human choriocarcinoma cells. The intradermal injection 50 after 48 hours of incubation is 3.3ug/ml, while the intradermal injection of Hela human cervical cancer cells and normal fibroblasts 50 is 13.0 and 16.0ug/ml respectively. In addition, crystalline trichosanthin showed a stronger inhibitory effect on the hCG secretion of Jar cells. After 48 hours of culture, it was inhibited by 50%. The concentration of crystalline trichosanthin secreted by hCG was 1.3ug/ml.

2.5. It is also reported that the lyophilizing agent and water extract of Trichosanthes spp. have 40.4% and 30.9% inhibition rates on uterine cancer U-14, while the decoction has no effect on uterine U-14. In recent years, it has been reported that Trichosanthes can inhibit the growth of Ehrlich ascites cancer cells and prolong the survival period of tumor-bearing mice.

3. Impact on immune function
3.1. The effect of Trichosanthes on the immune function of red blood cells in tumor-bearing mice:

Healthy male mice of Kunming species, 2-3 months old, weighing 21.3±4.6g, mice in the trichosanthes group and tumor group were intraperitoneally inoculated with cell cancer cell suspension, and the normal group was injected subcutaneously with an equal volume of normal saline. In the trichosanthes group, 0.2ml (0.2mg) of trichosanthes was subcutaneously injected 24 hours after inoculation. The other groups were given an equal volume of normal saline. Animals in each group were harvested eleven days after tumor inoculation. The RCIA red blood cells were completely knotted with more than one yeast cell as a rosette, and CIC appeared at a dilution of 1:8 (++) as positive. It can be seen from Table 7 that the red blood cell C3b receptor rosette (RBC-RR) of the mice in the trichosanthes group and the normal group was at the same level, and the tumor group was significantly reduced, and the difference was very significant (P<0.01), indicating that the red blood cell C3b of the tumor-bearing mice Receptor activity was significantly impaired, and after treatment with Trichosanthes, it can be restored to normal levels; the red blood cell immune complex rosette (RBC-ICR) of mice in Trichosanthes group increased, which was significantly different from the other two groups (P<0.01) , Suggesting that Trichosanthes can enhance the ability of red blood cells to adhere to immune complexes in tumor-bearing mice. This result is consistent with the CIC determination. And it is mutually confirmed with the literature report.

3.2. The effect of smallpox on lectin receptors and immunoglobulins in mouse salivary glands:

The animals are 20 adult male healthy ICR pure mice, weighing 18-22g, divided into 2 groups, 10 in each group, the first group is the trichosanthin group, gl times a day, ml each time (concentration 65mg/ml), A total of 7 days, the preparation of the medicinal solution was carried out by conventional water extraction. The second group was the control group, which was injected subcutaneously once a day, each time with ml of physiological saline. On the 8th, the mice were killed and their salivary glands were taken for HE and other staining respectively. The results showed that PNA and PBA receptors in the submandibular glands of mice increased significantly, IgG increased significantly, and acid mucopolysaccharides were also higher than those in the control group, suggesting that trichosanthes is related to promoting the synthesis of galactose and ethylamine galactose in the salivary glands and increasing the body’s immune function.

4. Antibacterial and antiviral effects
The decoction of Trichosanthes has a certain inhibitory effect on hemolytic streptococcus, pneumococcus and diphtheria bacillus in vitro, and has weak effect on typhoid bacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, dysentery bacillus, proteus and Staphylococcus aureus. The inhibitory effects of trichosanthin on 7 kinds of viruses were measured on 3 cell culture systems by the lesion inhibition method and 125I radioimmunoassay. The results show that when the concentration of trichosanthin is below 10ug/ml, it has no obvious toxic effect on cells, and when it is 0.001-10ug/ml, it has no obvious toxic effect on Japanese encephalitis, Coxsackie B2, measles, adenovirus type 3 and herpes simplex virus type I. , Vesicular stomatitis virus and hepatitis B virus, etc. have obvious inhibitory effect, and this inhibitory effect increases with the increase of the concentration of sky powder protein. When the concentration is 0.01ug/ml, it can inhibit 50% of the cytopathic changes caused by intradermal injection of 50 virus at 100TC, suggesting that trichosanthes may be another protein with broad-spectrum anti-virus effect after interferon.

5. Fight against HIV
In vitro experiments have shown that trichosanthin can inhibit the replication of HIV in infected immune cells and reduce the number of live cells infected by the virus in immune cells. Its effective inhibitory concentration is 0.05-10ug/ml. A protein that can inhibit HIV infection and replication is called anti-HIVTA29. Clinical data also show that there is a certain therapeutic effect.

Gan can benefit the stomach and neutralize the body. If the guest is hot, there will be evil heat, while the cold will eliminate the evil heat, and the guest heat will self-dissolve. The lungs are the source of water, the spleen qi disperses the essence, and returns to the lungs. It can pass through the water channels and infuse the bladder. Therefore, the pyrolysis of the lung, kidney, and spleen will cause urination to become normal, and the fire will increase the stomach heat, and the nausea and vomiting will not stop eating and choking.

Stupid thinks otherwise. The root of the reed lives in the bottom of the water. Its nature is cool and it rises well. Those who suffer from big head plague often use it as a medicinal medicine for meridians. Is the power of its ascent to the brain, but is it more important to the lungs? In addition, its cold nature can clear the lung heat, the hollowness can regulate the lung qi, and the taste is sweet and liquid, and it is better to nourish the lung and yin.

On the bone
Skeletal muscle has an inhibitory effect
It can inhibit the contraction response caused by electrical stimulation of frog neuromuscular specimens, the oxygen uptake and anaerobic glycolysis of the rat diaphragm, and can inhibit the response of the actin-ATP system, as well as relatively weak central inhibition The effect is that it has a sedative effect on rats and mice, and can antagonize caffeine. On the rabbit’s EEG, the amplitude of the wave increases and the frequency decreases, indicating that it inhibits the function of the central nervous system. In the rat tail electric stimulation test, it has analgesic effect, and the intensity is similar to aminopyrine. It has antipyretic effect. It has a good antipyretic effect on TTG (Pseu-domonas fluorescens bacterial complex refined compound polysaccharide) fever, but has no effect on the fever caused by dinitrophenol. It has a short-term inhibitory effect on the polysynaptic reflex (cat peroneal nerve-gastrocnemius specimen). Intravenous injection can cause a short-term decrease in blood pressure in rabbits, and subcutaneous injection can decrease blood sugar slightly. It has an inhibitory effect on the isolated toad heart and isolated rabbit intestine, and has no obvious effect on the blood vessels of rabbit ears. Its toxicity is very low, 0.5g/(kg.d) orally in mice, lmo did not cause abnormal changes.
It has a relaxing effect on the isolated guinea pig intestine
At a concentration of 2×10(-5), it can significantly inhibit the contraction of the isolated rabbit small intestine. 4mg injected into the small intestinal cavity of the rabbit can slow down the peristaltic contraction. Oral 2mg given to rats every day can significantly increase the blood thyroxine. It also has a mild antioxidant effect, which can prevent the oxidation of adrenaline. There is a mild estrogen-like effect. It still has anti-cancer effect. The T/C of 6 and 12.5 mg on mouse P388 are 133 and 174%.

In addition, the benefits of the sun’s disease are more than that of Pueraria lobata, Scutellaria, Huanglian Decoction; and the main pregnancy Antai San, and Scutellaria scutellaria is often used.

3. “Medical Origin”: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. It is a necessary medicine for treating damp and heat in the lungs, treating swelling and redness in the eyes on the heat, and prosperous blood stasis. In the venting lung, the fire evil goes up against the barrier, replenishing the cold and inadequacy of the bladder, which is nourishing its source. The “Secrets of Indications” states that there are nine uses: to reduce the heat of the lungs and menstrual flow, one for one; Xiayue needs to use two, two for upper coke and skin phoenix heat, three for: to remove all heat, four for nourishment after childbirth To prevent yang, five ya; to promote chest and qi, six ya; to eliminate phlegm, seven ya; except for heat and spleen dampness, eight ya; anti-fetus, nine ya. Single system, two system, no system, divided into upper, middle and lower. Wine stirs up, blood accumulates on the upper part of the main body, which cannot be eliminated, and the lungs are bitter and the qi is reversed.

4. Zhang element: diarrhea, thick pus and blood, heavy abdominal pain, severe body heat for a long time, scutellaria, peony and licorice are used together. Scutellaria baicalensis is used for muscle heat and phlegm removal, Huangfen is also used for damp heat in upper Jiao, to relieve lung fire. For sore pain intolerable, use bitter and cold medicine, such as scutellaria, coptis, detailing up and down, dividing roots, and medicinal use for meridian introduction.

5. Li Gao: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi has a bitter and thin taste, so it can relieve lung fire and relieve muscle heat. It is also a hand Taiyin medicine. Those who are meticulous but not hollow, treat the lower part wonderfully.

6. Zhu Zhenheng: Scutellaria baicalensis lowers phlegm, but it also lowers fire. If it is hot and humid, it must be washed with wine and used. Slices of Qin to relieve lung fire, must be supplemented with mulberry. If the lung is deficient, it will hurt the lung if it is used more often. It must be used first to protect the lung qi. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Baiyou are the holy medicines for fetal anti-fetuses. It is commonly used as the sacred medicine for fetuses. They do not dare to use them. They do not know that the fetus should be used to clear heat and cool the blood. The blood can nourish the fetus. When the fire goes down, Bai You can nourish the spleen.

7. “Compendium”: Jiegu Zhang’s Scutellaria baicalensis remedies lung fire and dampness of the spleen; Dongyuan Li’s scutellaria baicalensis treats lung fire, and Tiaoqin cures large intestine fire; Danxi Zhu’s Scutellaria baicalensis treats upper middle and second scorch fire; Zhang Zhongjing treats Xiaochaihu Decoction of Shaoyang Syndrome, Li Huangqin Decoction under Sun and Shaoyang Syndrome, and the heart is full without pain after Shaoyang Syndrome: Xiexin Decoction is used together; when it becomes impossible to say, Huangqin is bitter and enters B, venting Riffle fever means that Scutellaria baicalensis can start with the six meridians of Shaoyin, Yangming, Hand and Foot Taiyin, and Shaoyang. Gai Huangping is cold and bitter in taste, bitter enters B, cold overcomes heat, relieves heart and fire, cures damp heat in the spleen, one piece of gold is not tortured, and one stomach fire does not flow into the lungs, so it also saves the lung: those who are not suitable for lung deficiency, Bitter cold hurts the spleen and stomach, and hurts his mother. Yang Shiying’s “Zhizhifang” goes, Chaihu reduces fever, not as good as skullcap, and Gai does not know that Chaihu can reduce fever. It is the sound of the sound, the sign of fire, and the heat of Huang Zun is the power of cold to overcome heat, and the root of dismantling fire. . Scutellaria baicalensis can get the wine to go up, get pig bile to remove liver and gallbladder fever, get Bupleurum to relieve cold and fever, get peony to treat diarrhea, get mulberry bark to relieve lung fire, get Atractylodes macrocephala to treat fetus.

8. “Ben Cao Jing Shu”: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, its nature is pure, so it eliminates evil: bitter taste makes it dry and damp; yin and cold overcome heat, so it masters all heat. Those with all kinds of heat, evil heat and ubiquitous heat, jaundice, intestines, and dysentery, are all diseases that are better than damp heat. If you analyze the roots, all diseases will be crippled by themselves. Bitter cold can remove dampness and heat, so the small intestine is beneficial and water is driven away by itself, and the source of clearness makes it clean. For those with blood occlusion, the real heat lies in the blood, that is, the hot human blood chamber, which makes people amenorrhea. For those with malignant sores and gangrene, the blood and heat will remain knots, but for carbuncle swelling and stains: fire ulcers, the fire will hurt the blood, and cooling the blood to remove heat will heal itself. For those who reduce phlegm fever, if the heat is in the chest, it will cause phlegm fire; in the abdomen, it will cause colic. When the blood is exposed to the dew, it is the heat in the yin: it treats those who are cold and hot, and the evil is in the Shaoyang: the five drenchers, the damp and heat wins the cause: the bitter cold and the pure qi wins, then the evil qi resolves itself, which is the root of the attack. and also. Huangpu is a medicine for the detoxification of bitter cold, and its power is to eliminate heat and evil, not tonic. It should be juxtaposed with Rhizoma Coptidis. Although it can clear away heat and remove dampness and eliminate phlegm, bitter cold can damage the stomach qi and injure the spleen and yin, and those with deficiency and heat in the spleen and lungs. Avoid it.

9. “Materia Medica Huiyan”: Clear muscles and reduce fever, Bupleurum is the best, but without Scutellaria baicalensis can not cool the muscles. The mountain mast can be lowered to the fire of coke, but the scutellaria can not be the leader of the clear. Therefore, Fangmai department uses it to clear muscles and reduce fever, sore department uses it to detoxify and build muscle, Guangming department uses it to dissipate heat and improve eyesight, and women’s department uses it to relieve fetus. This is the first medicine that covers all departments.

10. “Medicine Chemistry”: The dry name of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is withered, and the thinner name is Qinqin. One product should be divided into two purposes. Gaikuqin’s body is light and buoyant, it is specially designed to relieve the fire on the lungs and stomach, mainly treat the chest qi, separate hot phlegm, cough and dyspnea, red eyes and teeth, vomiting blood loss, yellowish spots, acne and sore toxins, It also cools the diaphragm with its great power. Its main body weight is reduced, the fire of the lower coke of the large intestine is reduced, the main treatment is ambassador’s obturation, urinary turbidity, lower abdomen swelling, intestinal dysentery, blood and heat collapse, blood under fetal leakage, abdominal pain due to heat, delirium and rants. Can clear the large intestine too.

11. “Baihu Fengyuan”: In the past people used Bupleurum to remove heat as much as Scutellaria baicalensis, and Bupleurum used to control the cold and heat in Shaoyang, and Shaoyang was the pivot. Non-Bupleurum could not communicate with China and foreign countries; Scutellaria specializes in Yangming to steam heat and Yang In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the non-Scutellaria baicalensis can not vent its contents. Although Qin is bitter and cold, after all, it is the medicine to treat symptoms, but those with heat in the body should be used. If the yin is deficiencies and heat, and the deficiency and yang are exposed, it can be lightly tested. Pills are the most effective for treating women’s blood heat, which is more effective than those under water storms.

12. “Benjing Shuzheng”: Zhongjing’s Scutellaria baicalensis has three couplings, and those with hot qi are coupled with Bupleurum (Xiao Chaihu Decoction, Da Chaihu Decoction, Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction, Chaihu Guizhi Decoction): blood Those who suffer from heat, couple with peony (Guizhi Chaihu Decoction, Huangqin Decoction, Dachaihu Decoction, Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, Biejia Jianwan, Dahuang Chongwan, Bentang, Wang Buliu Xing San, Angelica San); damp heat resistance Among them, it is coupled with Huanglian (Banxia Xiexin Decoction, Gancao Xiexin Decoction, Ginger Xiexin Decoction, Pueraria lobata Scutellariae Huanglian Decoction, Yujiang Huangqin Huanglian Ginseng Decoction). Use Bupleurum to open up your qi

Knot, can not discourage the heat, the peony can open the blood to divide the knot, can not clear the heat of the forced blood, Coptis can cure the heat generated by dampness, can not cure the dampness of the heat master. For example, the fight is solved, but those who go to the fight will not calm the wrath of the fight, and the fight is not over. Therefore, Scutellaria baicalensis and Bupleurum can clear the qi and divide heat, and peony, can vent the heat of forced blood, and Coptidis, can relieve heat and dampness.

13. “The Classic”: Mainly all kinds of heat and jaundice, intestinal seclusion, venting benefits, draining water, blood closure, (curing) malignant sores, gangrene, and fire ulcers.

14. “Don’t Record”: Treating phlegm fever, stomach heat, lower abdominal cramps, eliminating valleys, benefiting the small intestine, women with blood clot, drenching blood, and children with abdominal pain.

15. “Southern Yunnan Materia Medica”: Ascends to reduce lung fire, descends to reduce bladder fire, (cures) five leaching in men, sudden collapse in women, menstruation and clearing heat, fetal heat and restlessness, clearing fetal heat, except for the actual heat of the six meridians.

16. “Compendium”: Cure wind-heat, damp-heat headache, Bendan heat pain, fire cough, pulmonary dysfunction and throat, blood loss.

17. “Materia Medica”: The dry person clears the fire on the scorch, eliminates phlegm and promotes qi, relieves asthma and cough, stops blood loss, retreats from cold and heat, wind heat and damp heat, headache, relieves plague, clears pharynx, treats pulmonary atrophy, lung carbuncle, milk Carbuncle on the back, the heat of the Yufa muscle surface, so it can treat macula, rat fistula, sores, and red eyes; if it is cool, the heat of the coke can remove red dysentery, heat the bladder, five leaching and astringent pain, large intestine closure, blood in the stool , Leakage.

18. “Scientific Folk Herbs”: Wash wounds outside and have antiseptic effect.

19. “New Compilation of Materia Medica”: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, bitter in taste, calm in qi, cold in nature, can rise or fall, yin and yang, non-toxic. Enter the lung meridian and large intestine. Reduce fever and trouble, relieve bladder fire, stop red dysentery, reduce red eyes, ease fetal gas, relieve typhoid fever and stagnation, moisturize dryness, and benefit lung qi. But it can be a minister, not a king medicine. People like to use it most recently, but it must be used for those with fire in the lungs, large intestine, and bladder. Otherwise, it should not be used frequently. The ancients clouded that Scutellaria baicalensis was the holy medicine for fetuses. Because of the fire in the fetus, it was used in Baizhu, Guishen, Ginseng, Rehmannia, and Eucommia for natural fetal safety. If there is no fire, and the fetal movement due to cold deficiency, you are afraid of getting Scutellaria baicalensis and helping its cold. Although there are medicines such as ginseng and Gui to replenish qi, blood and yin, it may not be able to solidify the fetal gas. There is no reason to desire her to have a baby.

If the bitter cold of Coptidis is like this, those who have taken Qinlian will not lose the spleen. It is slippery and it is obvious and easy to see. It is only because Tao Hongjing’s “Bielu” has a saying about regulating the stomach and thick intestines, and Liu Hejian’s re-examination said: All bitter and cold medicines are excessively discharged, but Coptis and Phellodendron are cold and dry. It is regarded as a rare sight for later generations, and it is all because of the dryness of Coptidis and thick intestines and stomach. Anyone who treats diarrhea will start with Coptidis. I don’t know the dryness of Coptidis and Phellodendron. How do you see it? Alas! A word is ridiculous, if this is the case, it is difficult to wash away, and it is deceptive and confusing. Although it is said that Huanglian is also effective in treating dysentery, it must be poisonous to the yang, or have a long mouth and abdomen, and those with dysentery due to dampness and heat are suitable. Moreover, anyone who is indiscriminate and has a strong spirit, even if it is misused, may not kill people, and the evil will gradually heal after a long time. Why not give credit to Huanglian? In addition, those who are weak in vitality, hurt the spleen and suffer from dysentery, or have no fire evil but cold and damp spleen, have a lot of diseases. Those who died of dysentery, the rate comes from this, is it not chilling? Yu said this, and people who do not necessarily believe, often use the word “bitterness and dryness” to have unclear ears. Therefore, in the “Chuanzhonglu” Discrimination of Hejian Article, I repeat the theory of bitterness in detail, and praise and rectify those who are benevolent. , The right and wrong are known, and the people’s livelihood is at stake. Taoist scriptures: Taking Huanglian offends pork, causing diarrhea.

“Materia Medica”: Reduce fire and dry dampness.

Great bitterness and coldness. When entering the heart to relieve the fire, Wang Haizang said: Relieving the heart and reducing the spleen also. In fact, the child is purged.

Diarrhea red belongs to blood, and white belongs to gas. Dai said: It is commonly said that people with red heat and white cold are not. They are commonly used for treatment of damp and heat, but there are differences between Xinjiu, deficiency and reality. Sickness full of dampness and depression. Zhongjing treats Jiuzhongxin Xiaxin, and the fifth class Xiexin Decoction is used. Abdominal pain, clear heat. The heartache is over the beam, the heart accumulates.

Shizhen said: Xianglian pills for treating dysentery; Coptis and dried ginger for Jianglian pills; Coptis and ginger for turmeric powder; Coptis and Evodia for Zuojin. Coptis asarum is used to treat oral sores, and Coptis and garlic are used to stop bleeding. One yin and one yang, cold is used for heat, and heat is used for cold. The best way to control it.

Rhizoma Coptidis has a bitter cold taste, thin qi and thick taste. Bitter enters the heart, cold overcomes heat, the bitter cold of Coptis and Rhubarb, to guide the actual heat under the heart, to remove the heart orifice nausea, Zhongjing’s nine kinds of heart ruffles, and the fifth class Xiexin Decoction are all used. Those who bleed the heart, actually bleed the spleen, but actually bleed their sons. For those with dysentery, heat, appetite, diarrhea, huanglian ginseng decocted soup, sip it from time to time; if you vomit, drink it again, but you have to sip it and swallow it. There are many diarrhea in various bitter and cold medicines, but Coptis, Qin, Bai, cold and dry in nature, can reduce fire, remove dampness and stop diarrhea, so blood dysentery is the king. Nowadays, people see the intestinal deficiency and leakage, and it seems that there is blood. Regardless of the cold and heat, they use Coptis chinensis, because it is more dangerous. As for the cold and cold white diarrhea, and the deficiency and cold syndrome of diarrhea first and then diarrhea, misuse can lead to many deaths. All pains, ulcers and sores are all heart-fire. Eyes are red and swollen, the pain is unbearable, it is also a kind of heart-fire, and it is also a kind of liver disease. Therefore, the first words of the “Benjing” treat heat, qi, eyes, pain, and intestinal pain, and take the bitterness and dryness to clear the head, strengthen the intestines and stomach, and eliminate dampness and heat. Swelling and pain in a woman’s vagina is also a risk of dampness and heat, especially bitterness and dryness. For the treatment of dysentery, the ancient prescriptions used Coptis and Muxiang for Xianglian Pills, dried ginger and Coptis for Jianglian San, and Coptis and Evodia for Zuojin Pills. Steamed Rhizoma Coptidis with wine for treatment of diminished thirst, Asarum Rhizoma Asarum for treatment of mouth sores, and Coptis Coptidis for treatment of blood. The cold is used because of heat, and the heat is used because of cold, without the harm of partial victory. However, the medicine of bitter cold will stop the illness. How can the order of killing be carried out, and the cutting will generate a rush of energy! According to the medical classics, taking coptis root and sophora flavescens for a long time against heat, although this nature is cold, its taste is very bitter, and it first returns to the heart when it enters the stomach. In modern times, Tang Liu preferred to use Huanglian as a clearing agent, but he did not know that Huanglian reduced the actual fire. Therefore, yin deficiency and heat, spleen deficiency and diarrhea, five change kidney diarrhea, women’s postpartum blood deficiency and diarrhea, children’s acne rash, qi deficiency for diarrhea, and diarrhea after plasma are all prohibited.

“Materia Medica Chongyuan”: Huanglian was born in Western Sichuan, tastes bitter and cold, and is endowed with the essence of Shaoyin and Shuiyin. For those who treat hot air, water nourishes its fire, and yin helps its yang. Those who have sore eyes and canthus weep out of the eye, the eye is sore and the canthus is wounded, and the canthus is wounded, and the canthus is wounded. He also said: Those who improve eyesight, declare that the eyes are painful, and the canthus cries out, so that it can improve eyesight. Intestines, the hot inside is multiplied by the yin, the husband’s heat is licentious in the inside, and the thin is the intestines. This heat hurts the yin. For patients with abdominal pain and diarrhea, the evil of wind, cold, heat and dampness damages their meridians, and cannot go out from the muscles, they will go through the stomach and intestines, resulting in intestinal pain and diarrhea. Coptis diarrhea is hot and nourishes the yin, so it cures intestinal and abdominal pain

The physical properties are cold, warm, clear, dry and moist, and have five colors and five flavors. Five colors and five flavors in response to the five luck, cold and heat to clear dryness in response to the six qi, are the ancient Sisui preparations. If Shaoyin Junhuo, Shaoyang Xianghuo Sisui, prepare warm medicine. When the sun is cold, the medicine for yin and cold is prepared. When Jueyin Feng Mu Si is old, prepare cool medicine. If the toast is too yin and wet, prepare the medicine for sweetness and moisturization. For yang gall bladder dryness Jinsi years old, prepare pungent dry medicine. Qi Bo said: Si Sui’s equipment has the expertise of heaven and earth, while non-Si Sui’s equipment is energized. Later generations can’t follow the preparations of the ancients, because they are concocted to help them. For example, the flooding of Coptis chinensis, the aconite artillery, that is, the meaning of helping the cold water monarch fire. Later generations did not understand the meaning, and instead fried Rhizoma Coptidis with fire and boiled aconite in urine. The cold is hot, and the hot is cold. It is a system, not a system. For example, the power of the eagle dog lies in the minions. To tie its claws and tie its teeth today is so expensive as an eagle dog.

“Materia Medica Seeking Truth”: [Pan] Daxie’s heart is full of enthusiasm.

Rhizoma Coptidis concentrates on the heart, and also enters the intestines, stomach, and spleen. According to the book’s healing powers, the great sufferings and colds are well-prepared, and with the phrase “thick stomach and intestines” in “Bielu”, it spreads to each other, so that today, Liao Youmopied endless harm. Paozhi Huanglianzhi is a product of diarrhea and dehumidification. Hao Gu said: Rhizoma Coptidis is bitter and dry, and if bitter enters the heart, the heart will become dry, and those who relieve the heart will actually relieve the spleen. In fact, the child is also purged. That is to say, the cloud intestines can be stopped, dry mouth can be eliminated, scumbags and abdominal pain can be eliminated, carbuncle sores can be cured, liver deficiency can be suppressed, with couples, vaginosis, malnutrition in children, red eyes and pain, vomiting, bleeding, etc. Toxins and other diseases are all treated by this, and why not because of the damp heat and the retreat of the fire, there is still a curative effect in addition to the dampness and the retreat of the fire. The element says: Rhizoma Coptidis has six uses: to reduce the heart and fire, one is; to remove the heat and dampness of the middle coke, two are; all sores must be used, three are; four are used to remove rheumatism; and also. Zhu Zhenheng said: For those with diarrhea and hot appetite, use Huanglian ginseng decoction to sip it all day long, such as vomiting, and then drink strongly, but it is better to swallow. Liu Wansu said: In ancient prescriptions, Coptidis was the best cure for dysentery. The cure for dysentery is only a bitter cold medicine. The pungent can diverge, open up stagnation, bitterness can dry dampness, cold can overcome heat, so that qi can be calmed. Many cold and bitter medicines have a lot of diarrhea, but Coptis and Phellodendron are cold and dry in nature, which can reduce fire and dampness and stop diarrhea. Said: Nowadays people use Huanglian to treat diarrhea

Righteousness, slang, but see the intestinal deficiency and leakage, it seems that there is blood, just use it, regardless of the cold and heat, but only want to use the medicine, because it is more dangerous and difficult. Shi Zhen said: Coptis chinensis is a medicine for great bitterness and coldness. It is used to reduce fire and dampness, and it will stop the illness. How can it be taken for a long time, so that the order of killing is often carried out and the qi of it is generated. Qin Guan and Jo Xisheng’s comment on Huanglian Shuyun: Wen Gong used his eyes to bait Huanglian to a dozen or two, almost impossible. According to the medical classics, taking coptis root and sophora flavescens for a long time against heat, although it is very cold, its taste is bitter, but when it enters the stomach, it will first return to the heart, and it will not stop when it enters the stomach. There is a weak spleen-yang element, so it spreads, but it can be regarded as an ordinary person. Nowadays, when people see the fire, whether it is cold or hot, virtual or real, they choose to vote, so that they will win the trouble and suffer a premature death, which is very regrettable. Shi Zhen said: Huanglian is the main medicine for treating eyes and dysentery. For the treatment of dysentery, the ancient prescriptions used Coptis and Muxiang for Xianglian Pills; Dried ginger and Coptis for Jianglian Powder; Coptis and Cornus for Biantong Powder; Coptis and Ginger for Turmeric Powder. To cure thirst, use wine to steam coptis; to cure summer heat, use wine to boil coptis; cure blood to use coptis and garlic; cure liver fire to use coptis and cornus; cure aphthous use coptis and asarum. Interaction between cold and heat, without the harm of partial victory. Wang Ang said: Rhizoma Coptidis reduces the fire of the heart, accompanied by gentian to reduce the fire of liver and gallbladder, white peony reduces the fire of the spleen, gypsum reduces the fire of the stomach, Zhimu reduces the fire of the kidney, Phellodendron amurense reduces the fire of the bladder, and Mutong reduces the fire of the small intestine. Scutellaria baicalensis reduces the lung fire, gardenia adjuvant; reduces the large intestine fire, Huanglian adjuvant. Chaihu reduces liver and gallbladder fire, Huanglian Zuozhi; Reduces triple burnt fire, Huangqin Zuozhi. Embroidery press: Chaihu reduces the fire, only for the liver and gallbladder evil depression, if the internal fire uses this, the more harmful it will increase, you must know.

“De Pei Materia Medica”: Scutellaria, dragon muscle, and marble are used for it. Achyranthes bidentata, coltsfoot, evil cold water, chrysanthemum, Scrophulariaceae, white scorpion silkworm, white fresh skin, dahlia flower. Avoid pork. Kill aconitum, croton, light powder poison.

Great suffering, great cold. Start with the Qi points of the Shaoyin meridian. It relieves the heart and spleen, cools the liver and gallbladder, clears the triple energizer, and detoxifies fever. To relieve dampness and open depression, cure heart orifice hyperemia, yang toxin madness, palpitations, irritability, nausea, fullness, soreness and vomiting acid, all kinds of pains in the heart and abdomen, intestinal diarrhea, dysentery, malaria, scabies, scabies, red eyes, sore teeth, tooth sacs Mouth sores, crying in the abdomen of pregnant women, fetal convulsions, swelling and pain in the vulva.

To reduce the heart fire, use it for life; when the fire is on top, stir-fry with wine; when the fire is below, stir-fry with children; when the fire is in the middle, stir-fry with ginger juice; lower the fire and stir-fry with salt water; Stir-fry; stop diarrhea, stir-fry in wall soil; stir-fry liver and gallbladder, stir-fry with vinegar or bile; stir-fry with puddle and nitrate when the heat is in the bottom; stir-fry in the blood with dry lacquer.

Misuse of virtual heat will cause Geyang. It’s really bad. Jiufu turned into heat. Even will be dry and not moist. Do not eat pork for fear of diarrhea.

The evil fire is reversing, and the product that is not the most bitter to the cold cannot retreat its heat. However, when the fever starts at the beginning, the evil fire is about to attack, throwing the river to suppress the fire, then the evil general will entangle and not disperse, causing internal injury to the blood, heat evil to heal inflammation, the so-called cold is also beneficial to heat. After a long time of heat, the yin qi is severely injured, and the gastric juice is dry. It is necessary to first aid the stomach yin to control the yang fire and cool and moisturize the agent. If you treat the heat with bitter dryness, the drier and hotter will be. To overcome suffering to reduce the qi, to reduce the qi, the yin will not grow, dry to consume the blood, and the blood to die is exhausted. From the fear of fire and the evil fire, the death can also be waited for immediately.

“Materia Medica”: Rhizoma Coptidis Qi is cold, and the water vapor of winter cold in the sky enters the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian of the foot; the taste is bitter and non-toxic, and it has the smell of the fire in the south, and it starts with the Shaoyin Heart Meridian. The smell is all down, and the yin is also.

Its main heat is the pain in the eyes, the heart is the fire, the fire is hot, the heart is sick and the liver is relieved, the liver resuscitates the eyes, and the bitter cold of Rhizoma Coptidis also clears the fire. The positive pulse of hand Shaoyin originates from the face and closes the inner canthus of the eye. Hand Shaoyin is the fire of the heart, and when the fire is strong, the heart is anxious and tears are released. In fact, the heart is the son of the liver tree, and the heart is clear, and the liver is diarrhea, so the eyesight is also improved.

The large intestine is the organ of Gengjin. When the heart and fire are multiplied by it, the body fluid will turn into pus and blood, pain and dysentery. The main one can clear the fire by cold, and relieve the heat by bitterness.

The north is black, it enters into the kidney, and opens the second yin. In the woman’s yin, it is the kidney orifice. The heat is swollen, and the swelling and pain are the fire.

Those who are unforgettable for a long time will clear the fire when the heart is clear, and the heart will be clear when the fire is clear, and can also remember.

“Shen Nong’s Materia Medica Reading”: Coptis rhizoma is cold, and the water vapor of cold days and winter enters the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian of the foot; the taste is bitter and non-toxic, and it has the smell of southern fire. It starts with Shaoyin Heart Sutra. Everything is the same, so it can eliminate the chaos of water and fire, and it is a disease of damp and heat.

The heat of the cloud, except for all qi, is also hot. Eye pain, canthus, tears are unknown, all are damp-heat diseases; intestinal abdominal pain and diarrhea, all damp-heat diseases are in the middle; women’s yin swelling and pain, it is a disease of damp-heat in the bottom, Rhizoma Coptidis dehumidify heat, so it is the main cause.

Those who are unforgettable for a long time can fill the heart with painstaking efforts. However, bitterness is the original flavor of fire, and it is supplemented by the bitterness of its flavor; while cold can overcome fire, that is, it is relieved by its coldness. Throughout the ages, only Zhongjing obtained the secret of “The Classic”. The “Golden Chamber” treats the heart-qi deficiency and vomiting blood, take it to invigorate the heart; if typhoid, cold and heat condense the heart, and the ruffian, take it to relieve the heart; Jueyin Zhi Those who are hot, qi hits the heart, use ebony plum; for those who have severe diarrhea, they use Pulsatilla, a great saint who truly believes in and loves the ancients.

“Shen Nong’s Materia Medica Hundreds of Records”: taste bitter and cold. The main heat, the heat removal is in the air. Eye pain, tears in the canthus, improved eyesight, dehumidification and fever. Intestines, abdominal pain and diarrhea, dehumidification and fever in the middle? 8 save the boat, brother Zi Chu 3 still know the wheel >MeiZhao Shunhuang? Where is bursal disease?

Bitterness is fire, and its nature is hot. This is a solid common sense. Huanglian is bitter, but when it is cold, it will get the taste of fire and the nature of water, so it can eliminate the disease of water and fire. Those who are in trouble with water and fire are also hot and humid. Any medicine that can dehumidify must increase heat, and if it can remove heat, it must not dehumidify. But Coptidis can dry dampness with bitterness and remove heat with cold, which can kill two birds with one stone.

Heart belongs to fire, cold overcomes fire, so Huanglian should be a medicine to relieve the heart, but why can it replenish the heart? To cover bitterness is the right taste of fire, which is to replenish it with taste. If there is evil fire in the heart, this can also relieve it, and real fire can replenish it.

Those who suffer from extreme suffering have an anti-cold nature, that is, the meaning of “Inner Classics” is superfluous and harmful. The so-called extreme fire is also anti-hydration.

“Benjing Shuzheng”: Coptis roots are clustered, and the vines are in the same genus. There are hundreds of plants with a single stem, so the name is Lian, and its treatment is also prolonged for a long time. The name immersion is not a disease of the first violent illness, nor is it a cure for cripples. Therefore, in the two books on the Golden Chamber for Treatise on Febrile Diseases, there has never been a case of using Coptidis for a new disease.

Coptis root, yellow flowers, yellow and yellow, all have earthy color, bloom in April, bear fruit in June, and have tight roots in July. It is suitable for the medicine of spleen and stomach, Zhongjing What is the key to Zhuxiexin Decoction? The husband Zhongjing traced the source of the various heart-reducing syndromes, saying that the disease is caused by yang, and vice versa, and the heat is caused by chest congestion; the disease is caused by yin and vice versa, because of ruffles. Knotting the chest is called heat, but ruffling is not called heat. It can be seen that the evil that enters is not yang evil. Yin evil knots in the yin position, the heart lashes out, what is not the heart disease? The heart is sick and cannot warm the soil, and the soil is unlucky and dry, stinky, retching, and upset. Those with thunder in the abdomen will not be able to move up the intestines because of thunder. The heart of the husband is the body, and the hexagram is separated from the hexagram. Now that the evil has been transformed, the yin and evil have been transformed. If the heart and yang are not forced, the inner turmoil is determined, but the outer evil is still hindered, then the two yellows are taken Exhaust heat, scavenge its evils, suffocate the evils, and calm themselves down. Those who suffer from cold and sweat will also transform the evils of the upper and the evils of the lower. Therefore, take the qi of the two yellows lightly and use the heat to eliminate the filth. The prestige of Aconite is to chase Niyin, make the differences and converge to the same, the same but not the opposite. For the untransformed, the yang is discouraged in the position of the yang, and the arrogant in the yin, the evil is entrenched in the Qing Dao, and the ulcer is vented in the bottom, the non-dried ginger, Pinellia ginger, ginger vibrates the haze, not enough to clear the heart outside the Guo; non-human soaked in Coptis Nourishing yin and venting heat is not enough to calm the internal conflicts of the heart. The title of husband should follow the facts, the tonic is to benefit the deficiency, the diarrhea is to vent the truth, the present is clearly due to evil spirits, causing internal conflicts in the heart, if it is said to make up, it is too innocent. Can you care? The so-called intestines and abdominal pain in this sutra have the same heart. Covering the intestines with abdominal pain and lowering benefits, usually occurs at the turn of summer and autumn heat and humidity. When the heat is strong, the heart is relieved, and the test is sweat. The so-called sweat is also the heart fluid. At this time, either the mouth is cold and greasy to prevent the comforting qi, or the wind is used to take the cold, so that the sweat is not smooth, so the fire is stagnant in the middle, and the shadow is condensed outside, because of this, dampness is generated, and the dampness regenerates heat. , Cold and heat and dampness, the glue is solid, so the incense and ginger and other methods made by later generations all hurt this meaning.

For those with typhoid fever in the chest, evil in the stomach, pain in the abdomen, and vomiting, Huanglian Decoction is the main one. Shaoyin disease, more than two or three days, upset, can not lie down, Huanglian Ejiao soup is the main one. Rhizoma Coptidis is the king of the two sides, and both syndromes are sent to the heart. It can be seen that Rhizoma Coptidis is an agent that relieves the heart and fire. Cheng Wuji said, “Yin cannot rise, but cures alone at the bottom, which is pain in the abdomen; if yang cannot drop, cures alone at the top, it is chest heat. For vomiting, the yin of the husband rises, the body is from the kidneys, the use is from the liver, the yang is lowered, the source is from the lungs, and the responsibility is from the heart, but the spleen and stomach are the lifting hub, the spleen promotes the kidney and the liver to raise the qi, and the stomach drags The qi of the heart and lungs descends, so if the yin is not raised, the spleen must be cured, and if the yang is not descended, it must also cure the stomach. It is Yuhuanglian Decoction and can participate. Rhizoma Coptidis is an agent for the heart and stomach, and vomiting is a gastric disease. Therefore, Coptidis can be used to treat vomiting in later generations. Its effect is the most rapid. All thrusts belong to the fire. Especially in Jing said, the cold of the Yang Jing changes to heat, and it is attributed to the qi, and the cold of the Yin Jing changes to heat, which is attributed to the blood, the heat of the Yang Jing, or the heat of the blood, but the heat of the Yin Jing must not return to Qi, so Sanyin has a heat syndrome. There is no need to adjust the stomach to carry the qi and the small to carry the qi, but to use the big to carry the qi alone. If you are upset, you cannot lie down, and you have heat syndrome. For more than two or three days, you are annoyed. To reduce the fire, if you see it for more than two or three days, it is yang prosperous, and yang prosperous is better to reduce the fire. However, if the yang is prosperous, the yin itself must be weak. Then only rely on Peng Lian, and Peng is only one or two, and even is four or two. This is the title of Huang Lian, and it is indisputable to win one side. Viewing from the two sides, it can be understood that Huanglian has a single taste. In Huanglian Decoction, it is a warm medicine for cold medicine, and in Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, it is a laxative in tonic.

The essence of the internal organs and the six fu organs are all focused on the eyes, and the essence of the essence, the essence of the essence is the eye, the essence of the bone is the pupil, the essence of the tendons is the black eye, the essence of the blood is the collaterals, and the essence of the qi is the white eyes. The essence of the muscles is the restraint, the essence of the muscles, bones, blood, and qi are combined with the pulse. The upper part belongs to the brain, and the back comes out of the middle. Therefore, the pupil black eyes are used in yin, the white eyes and red veins are used in yang, and the combination of yin and yang is smart. . So knowing that the eye disease is not a disease of the past, the eye pain of Coptis chinensis, must be both hurt and weeping, and we must know that the eye pain is all hurt and weeping, it must be caused by the heat, it is the right medicine, this Why? As mentioned above, those who have pain due to pupils, those with dark eyes, and those with white eyes are not serious. They are all injured and those who are restrained from the inside, and those who cry because of wind and those who are cold and weak are not allowed to be used. Gai Wei hurts inside the cell, outside the white eyes, it is the disease of the red collaterals, and when weeping out, it starts as a damp and heat fight. The hot one hurts the main body, the red veins belong to the heart. , The various diseases applied to it, such as the red and red veins in the eyes of jujube decoction, the hot and painful eyes of the eye-washing soup, the decoction of milk, the decoction of milk, the tears of the decoction of milk, the eyes of Huanglian decoction Red heat removal is consistent with this sutra, and it is nothing more than clearing heart fire and removing dampness and heat.

The words of the ancient book are concise and profound. Those who read it should be careful not to weed. This is also true of the so-called woman with swelling and pain in the vagina. Swelling and pain in the husband’s yin are common to husbands, so it is unique to the woman, that is, the swelling and pain in the yin of the woman does not stop at one end. Although there is no clear text in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, the Qianjin is like the ones listed, such as ecdysis, chancre, rot in the yin, itching pain, worms in the yin, prolapse under the yin, and yin tingling. Use it occasionally for swelling and pain. Most of the diseases in the yin begin with urination. If urination is unfavorable, dampness and heat will occur. If the dampness and heat cannot be passed on, the swelling will occur. . Coptis can cure swelling and pain, swelling and pain in the yin, if it is necessary, cover the swelling and pain in the yin, it must be caused by dampness and heat, and the dampness is more than enough to help heat, and the thing that clears heat is more than enough to nourish dampness. It can dry out dampness, but also can be hot, other places are swollen and painful, some are caused by wind, some are caused by heat and cold, and some are caused by fire. It does not need to be due to dampness, so this scripture uniquely identifies women. Although, all the diseases in the husband’s yin are all hot and humid, the cure of coptis, where is the one who uniquely identifies the woman? Gawei’s husband is mostly not involved in blood. Even if it stops dampness and heat generation, and it is involved in blood, it should be beneficial, nourishing, such as leading to redness, and not dryness. Fugan is humidification, and bitterness is desiccation. Therefore, those with sweet taste can choke the breath into dampness even though they are dry, and those with bitter taste are like the cold of Coptis chinensis. Can they only stimulate their fire due to dryness? Knowing that Huanglian treats dampness and heat, it must be viewed separately. It can be used for those who are in urgent need of wet card, but not for those who are slow. Those with low dampness are not full of heat, and when the heat is not full, the qi and cold of coptis are also available; those with slow heat syndrome can be used, but not for those with acute dampness. . Rhizoma Coptidis treats blood heat and should be viewed separately. It can be used if the heat of the qi is involved in blood, but not if the blood is self-generating heat. Blood is like water, and sex is the main flow. The cold of Coptidis may cause blood clotting and dryness. , I am afraid of running out of blood.

Or ask Huanglian enters the heart to clear away heat and dampness. As the son said, he can only think of wumei pills, dried turmeric and Huangqin ginseng soup. Any huanglian is serious, and all hepatic diseases are treated? Said, in the article, whoever talks about certain viscera and certain viscera, explain its meaning in this way, and the ears are not categorical. Try to observe the separate records of this scripture, stop saying that a certain medicine cures a certain disease, and does not say that it enters a certain viscera and a certain organ. The person who solves it does not infer that a certain disease is related to a certain viscera and certain organs. Why is it known that the disease occurs? It also only says that a certain disease belongs to a certain sutra, and a certain party treats a certain disease. For example, sun sickness has bad wind and cold, but asthma is not a lung disease? Palpitation, vigilance, palpitations, not heart disease? The reason why the righteousness is discussed cannot be discussed in the same way. The son took Wumei pills and dried turmeric. It is definitely said that Huanglian is the main five internal organs because of cold and heat for a long time. The husband is cold and hot. How can you stay together for a long time and not enter? The fire of the monarch must not do. Sleng is cold and hot or hot, cold or hot. All of the body fluid in Si, and the daily increase in water valleys, will not turn into pure and high rise, and they will fall down one after another. If there is more cold, it’s venting, if there’s more heat, it’s 澼, if it’s too hot, it’s pus and blood, and it’s phlegm when it’s cold. Relief is heavy, Xiaoxianxiong Decoction treats drinking stagnation, all of them borrowed from Coptis. The severity of the disease depends on which is hot or cold, so it can be combined with aconite dried ginger and cassia twig, or with dried ginger ginseng, or with phellodendron chinense, or with melon and pinellia, but not all of it is from Coptis, is It can be seen that the treatment of Coptidis may not be in the liver, and the syndrome of Wumei Pills and dried turmeric and Huangqin Ginseng Decoction may not be unrelated to the heart. Although the five internal organs are cold and hot for a long time under the words of Xieming and thick blood, you can read the words of the word. If you look at Liqigu, those with Sini Decoction, those with diarrhea, pus and blood, and Taohuatang, do not use Coptis, and you can know that Xietong is not used. The short-term pus and blood, and the long-term but related to the cold of the five internal organs, and those not related to the combination of cold and hot of the five internal organs, are not suitable for Huanglian.

One thousand gold prescriptions to diminish one’s thirst, says, if you drink for a long time, you can quench your thirst. The big cold will condense the sea, but the wine does not freeze. It shows that the wine is very hot and there is nothing to add.

CORTEX PHELLODENDRI
Huang Bai (huáng bò), the name of Chinese medicine. It is the dry bark of Phellodendron chinense Schneid. Xi is called “Chuan Huang Bai”. After peeling the bark, remove the rough bark and dry it in the sun.

“Clinical Commonly Used Chinese Medicine Manual”: Phellodendron chinense is bitter and cold, clears away heat and dampness, has a strong ability to purify fire and detoxification, and return to the kidney and bladder meridian, longer than Qingxiajiao damp-heat. [1] [2-4]

Origin:
“Compendium of Materia Medica”

Actions and Indications: Huang Bai (phellodendron bark)

Efficacy and function To clear away heat and dampness; purify fire and detoxify. Mainly damp-heat dysentery, diarrhea, jaundice; dreams, drenching turbidity, and entrapment; bone steaming and fever; and sores in the mouth and tongue; red eyes and swelling and pain; carbuncle sore; skin eczema

Indications:
For damp-heat diarrhea, jaundice, red urine, vaginal itching, hot shower astringent pain, beriberi dysfunction, bone steaming fever, night sweats, spermatorrhea, sores, swelling toxin, eczema and eczema. Salt cork nourishes yin and reduces fire. Used for yin deficiency and fire, night sweats and bone steaming.

Phellodendron chinense and Coptis coptis also contain more berberine, so their pharmacological effects are also roughly similar, see Coptis coptis. But the content is lower than Coptidis, and contains other ingredients, the effect is also somewhat different.

1. Antibacterial effect:

The antibacterial active ingredient of Phellodendron chinense is berberine, so its pharmacological effect is similar to that of Coptidis, but its content is lower than Coptidis. In vitro tests are effective or strong against Staphylococcus aureus, pneumococcus, diphtheria bacillus, streptococcus viridis, dysentery bacillus (except Sonnett), hemolytic streptococcus, meningococcus, Vibrio cholerae, and Bacillus anthracis Inhibition; It also has an inhibitory effect on Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pertussis and Bacillus tetanus; it has no direct inhibitory effect on H37Rv and Mycobacterium avium, but it can reduce the number of bacteria, but when the concentration reaches 1%, it exhibits antibacterial effect. When guinea pigs were inoculated with human tuberculosis (H37Rv) for experimental treatment, the efficacy of oral or injection was very poor. For guinea pigs inoculated with bovine tuberculosis, the hydrochloric acid crystal of Phellodendron chinense extract has a certain effect when injected intramuscularly. Phellodendron amurense improves the clinical symptoms and X-ray examination of tuberculosis patients, and is better than Coptis. In the test tube, Phellodendron amurense decoction or infusion has varying degrees of antibacterial effect on common pathogenic fungi. Its water decoction cannot kill Leptospira (the dose needs to be 1 times larger than that of Coptis). It also has a weak effect on Trichomonas vaginalis in vitro. According to reports, Phellodendron amurense acid-base extract is made into a 1:1 phellodendri liquid, which can be cured by enema, and it can be cured in 2-4 days. Huangbai physiotherapy solution uses direct current to treat chronic prostatitis, with a total effective rate of 97.3%.

2. Antifungal effect:

The ether extract of Phellodendron amurense and Phellodendron amurense has a strong antibacterial effect on Cryptococcus neoformans and Trichophyton rubrum. Its effect is stronger than that of nystatin, but its inhibitory effect on Candida albicans is weaker than that of fungi.

3. Antitussive effect:

The volatilization of Phellodendron chinense fruit has an antitussive effect, and its antitussive component is mainly myringene. And from the volatile oil, berberine and 5,5′-dimethyl furfural ether are obtained.

4. Antihypertensive effect:

Intravenous injection or intraperitoneal injection of Phellodendron chinense in anesthetized animals can have a significant and long-lasting effect on blood pressure. Carotid artery injection is stronger than intravenous injection, so blood pressure reduction may be central. The tertiary amine compound named Xylopinin, synthesized by changing the quaternary ammonium type phellodendron, can also cause rapid and significant blood pressure reduction; cutting the spinal cord between the Ⅰ-Ⅱ cervical vertebrae will reduce blood pressure and disappear. Prove that blood pressure is central. In addition, Syropirin has a strong anti-adrenaline-like effect, and it has a high pressure response caused by compression of the carotid artery, suffocation, electrical stimulation of the large visceral nerve, and nictitating contraction caused by injection of epinephrine or electrical stimulation of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion. The reaction was suppressed.

5. Anti-trichomoniasis:

Phellodendron chinense decoction, 10% concentration and trichomoniasis solution 1:1 mixed culture, has an inhibitory effect on Trichomonas vaginalis.

6. Anti-hepatitis effect:

Huangbo decoction has an inhibitory effect on hepatitis B antigen in 6.25-100% in vitro tests. Phellodendron has a certain effect on chronic hepatitis.

7. Impact on immune function:

Phellodendron amurense decoction, 100% concentration, 0.3ml/gavage, for 7 consecutive days, can increase the number of splenic plaque-forming cells in mice.

8. Anti-ulcer effect:

Phellodendron chinense extract (deberberine) 100mg/kg subcutaneously injected, 100, 1000mg/kg gavage or intradermal injection, has inhibitory effect on rat gastric ulcer induced by ethanol, aspirin or pyloric ligation.

9. Other functions:

Phellodendrine and syropirin have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, and the spontaneous activities and various reflexes of mice are inhibited. When syropirin is given to unanaesthetized rabbits, the brain waves can show slow amplitude waves. Phellodendron has a mild curare-like effect and has no effect on the tension of the frog rectus abdominis, but it can inhibit the contraction response caused by acetylcholine. For isolated rabbit intestines, phellodendron powder can enhance its amplitude, phellodendron can enhance its tension and amplitude; phellodendron lactone can inhibit intestinal tract. In rabbits with pancreatic fistula, cork can promote pancreatic secretion. When phellodendron lactone is close to the lethal dose (0.05-0.1g/kg), it can lower the blood sugar of rabbits, but phellodendron has no such effect. Corkone is said to have the effect of protecting platelets. Phellodendron has a killing effect on larvae (10ppm can kill 62% in 18 hours) and houseflies. In addition, it has the effects of diuresis, stomach invigoration, and external use to promote the absorption of subcutaneous hemorrhage. (Source “Chinese Materia Medica”)

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Huang Bai (phellodendron bark)
1. “Do not record”: Huang Bo, Sheng Hanzhong Valley and Yongchang.

Cork
2. Tao Hongjing: (Huangbo), the one who came out of Shaoling today, the light and deep color wins. Those who come out of Dongshan are thick and light in color. They are rooted in Taoism and enter Muzhi products. Today, people do not know how to convince them. There is also a small tree, shaped like a pomegranate, with a yellow and bitter skin. Another small tree, thorny, yellowish skin, and also responsible for mouth sores.

3. “Shu Materia Medica”: “Picture Classic” cloud, Amur bark, tree height and numbers, the leaves are like Evodia, also like purple chrysanthemum, yellow skin, and its roots are like Matsushita Poria. Today there are valleys in the states such as housing, business, and cooperation. The skin is tight and thick by two or three points, and the bright yellow one goes up. Picking the skins in February and May, the day is dry.

4. “This Sketch Book”: Barberry and Amur bark are found everywhere here, and the one in the middle of Shu is better. Pick the skins in May and June and use them to remove wrinkles. Its root name is Tanhuan.

5. “Compendium”: Barberry, the name is not specified. “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica” talks about barberry and its roots, not bark, and it is almost common for wood and bark in ancient times.

Various discourses
1. “Medical Origins”: Astragalus, cures kidney water bladder insufficiency, various dysfunction, waist weakness, add to Huangqi Decoction to make the strength of the two knees gush out, the dysfunction is immediately removed and the second system cures the upper coke, single Control the middle coke, but not the lower coke.

2. Li Gao: Phellodendron amurense and Atractylodes atractylodis are essential medicines for treating dysfunction. Anyone who removes Jiao damp heat for swelling and pain, and has fire evil in the bladder, and has difficulty in urination and yellow astringency, and washes Phellodendron amurense with wine, Zhimu is the king, Poria, Alisma as auxiliary. For those who are thirsty because of difficulty in urination, the evil heat is in the qi, and the heat in the lungs cannot produce water. It is the source of absolute urination. The method should be medicines with thin and permeable smell, such as Polyporus umbellatus and Alisma orientalis, to relieve the lungs. Fire clears the lungs and gold, the source of nourishing water. If the evil heat is scorching the blood, those who are not thirsty and have difficulty urinating, it is said in “Su Wen” that there is no yin and yang cannot be produced, and if there is no yang, yin cannot be transformed. The bladder is the official of the state capital. Can get out. The law should be treated with a strong smell, and the yin in the yin medicine is used to treat it, such as Astragalus and Anemarrhena. Chang’an Wang Shanfu’s disease is unable to urinate, gradually becomes full, his abdomen is as firm as a stone, his feet and legs are cracked and water is broken, his eyes are protruding, he is unable to eat, the pain is unspeakable, the medicine for curing Manli urine leakage is taken all over, and the pre-diagnosis is called This is too much toxin nourishment. The accumulated heat of the ointment damages the kidney water, causing the bladder to dry out for a long time, the urination does not melt, the fire goes up again, and it is vomiting. “Difficulty” so-called pass is not allowed to urinate, and the pattern is rebellious. Jie ancient people said that the heat is in Xia Jiao, but if the Jiao is cured, the disease will be healed. Then he took the medicine of the bitter cold caused by the cold water in the north, one or two each for Amur and Anemarrhena, washed and roasted with wine, and cinnamon was used as a guide. Before the thorn

The swelling dissipated like a waterfall and a stream under the bed. The “Internal Classics” states that the hot ones are cold, the kidneys are wicked and dry, and the fast food is pungent to nourish them. It takes the bitter cold to relieve heat and replenish water and dryness of Astragalus fortunei, the bitter cold to relieve the kidney fire of Zhimu as the supplement, and the pungent heat of cinnamon is used for cold and heat.

3. “Materia Medica Yanyi Supplement”: Barberry skin, walking hand Jueyin, and has the power of reducing fire and replenishing yin. With asarum, it can cure aphthous ulcers.

4. Zhu Zhenheng: Phellodendron amurense, go to the yin, it has the power of reducing the fire and replenishing the yin, it is not the fire in the yin, and it is not available. Knowing that the mother nourishes the yin and reduces the fire, get the herb dehumidification and clearing away heat.

5. “Decoction of Materia Medica”: Amur bark, Foot Shaoyin, the kidneys are bitter and dry, so the kidneys stop dampness, gardenia and scutellaria enter the lungs, Coptis chinensis enters the heart, Astragalus scutellaria enters the kidneys, and the dryness of the dampness belongs to each category. . “Book of Living Humans” detoxification soup, the upper and lower internal and external treatment.

6. “Introduction to Medicine”: Phellodendron amurense. It is also used to treat red eyes, rhinorrhea, throat numbness, carbuncle and back, and breast carbuncle and umbilical sores. Dongyuan Yun, purge the concealed dragon fire, install the ascaris worms, which can cure the deficiency of the kidney. It can be used for single treatment and can nourish the insufficiency of the kidneys. Yellow, must be used for patients with lower abdomen pain. It can also treat exogenous muscle heat, internal injury and bone heat, blood loss and spermatorrhea and vaginal dysfunction. Inhibition of Coptidis enters the heart, Zhi and Qin enter the lungs, Phellodendron chinense enters the kidneys, the kidneys are bitter and dry and stop dampness, the cypress tastes slightly pungent and can moisturize dryness, and it can dehumidify under the benefits of nature, so it is the main medicine of the kidney meridian. However, the “This Sutra” says that the main five internal organs are hot, and the flames of the gut rush upwards, the intestines and stomach are dry, and the five internal organs are all fire. The above diseases are all caused by fire, and they are made from dampness and depression. They are used to relieve fire. The kidney water is self-consolidating, and there is no risk of madness and leakage. The so-called tonifying kidney also means this. Danxi said that there is no fire in the kidney family, and those with a weak two-chi pulse or a strong left-chi pulse are not suitable for use, but those with a strong two-chi pulse are the most suitable.

7. “Compendium”: The ancient book said that Anemarrhena arborescens can nourish yin and reduce fire. There is the meaning of gold and water. There is no Anemarrhena arborescens, and there is no shrimp like a jellyfish. Gai Huangbo can cure the fire in the bladder gate, Zhimu can clear the lungs and nourish the source of kidney water, so Jiegu, Dongyuan, and Danxi all think that medicine is needed for nourishing yin and lowering fire, which has not been said in ancient times. Cover qi is yang, blood is yin, evil fire is tormented, yin and blood will gradually dry up, so the disease of yin deficiency and fire is necessary, but there will be less strong energy and edible ones. It is appropriate to use, if there is not enough qi, evil fire will flourish For a long time, there will be changes in the cold. People who are recently depleted and indulge in heirs use yin tonics, often taking the two flavors as the king, taking bait every day, lowering the order too much, hurting the spleen and stomach, impairing the true yang, and not warming the essence, causing other diseases. Gai does not know that this thing is bitter and cold and slippery, and the bitter taste for a long time will cause the harm of cremation. Therefore, Ye’s “Medical System” contains four things plus Anemarrhena and Amur sinensis. Taking it for a long time will hurt the stomach and prevent the ring of yin. Raw use will reduce the fire, cooked use will not hurt the stomach, the wine system will cure, the salt system will cure, and the honey system will cure the middle.

8. “Materia Medica Shu”: Phellodendron amurense, the main five internal organs in the stomach and intestines. Insufficient yin cover, the heat begins in the stomach and intestines; although yellow squat is caused by damp heat, it must occur in people with insufficient true yin; intestinal hemorrhoids are also caused by damp heat and blood injury; diarrhea, stagnation, also damp heat dry Gastrointestinal diseases; women leaking red and white, yin wounds and sores are all formed by damp heat from the lower part of the guest due to yin deficiency; skin-heat redness, red eyes and sore mouth sores, all sickness caused by yin deficiency and blood heat. As for the yin qi, it can make up to the deficiency of yin, and if it is deficiencies, it can be made up. The yin reverts to heat and decomposes, dampness and dampness are eliminated by themselves. It is the main medicine of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.

9. “Materia Medica”: Phellodendron amurense, cold in nature, the fastest to get rid of the fire, Danxi said that it suppresses the dragon fire, nourishes the kidney and strengthens the yin. If the water is not dry but the fire is full, it can be used to draw salaries. If the water is exhausted and hot, it is difficult to compensate for the yin, and the authorities should not be careful. Think of tonics. The Danxi who has heard of it said that the fire of the king can be turned straight, and the genus of Coptis can be controlled; the fire of the phase should be subdued according to its nature, but the genus of Phellodendron can be lowered. According to this discussion, if there is a good opinion, it is really strong. The husband’s so-called one according to his nature, that is, the “Internal Classic” is also the theory of governance. The “Jing” says: the righteous one is governing, the follower opposing the governing. The person who treats righteously means that water is used to make fire, and cold is used to treat heat; those who are governed are that fire is used to help fire, and heat is used to treat heat; also the so-called sweet and warmth Congruence? It is said that Huanglian controls the heart fire, and Huangbai controls the kidney fire. However, those who treat blood and drowning are suitable for Huanglian. Isn’t it the bladder and lower part of the large intestine? The upper part of the heart and spleen are almost medicine? In short, Coptis and Phellodendron are characterized by great bitterness and coldness, and Coptidis is water, Phellodendron is not water, Coptidis is a diarrhea, and Phellodendron is a tonic. How unreasonable?

10. “Medicine Interpretation”: Phellodendron chinense, bitter taste into the bones, so it can reduce the fire from the top to the heel, degenerate the skin and the marrow, all are thoughtful, and it specializes in reducing the fire of the kidney and bladder. Cover kidney is cold water, more water will disappear, and exhaustion will become hot. If the qi rises from under the umbilicus, the yin fire is also. The “Internal Classic” states that the kidneys want to be firm, and the bitter firmness is the firmness of the body. Danxi uses salt water to make the salt into the kidneys, and the yin fire is reduced to save the kidney water. Stir-fry with honey soup, choose the diaphragm but not to fall suddenly, cure the five symptoms of upset, fever, eye pain and mouth sores. Single fried brown, cure bowel redness, hemorrhoids, turbid spermatorrhea, damp-heat jaundice. Bladder fever, pain in the umbilical abdomen, if the zodiac signs fire, use this to fold, the kidney will be strong, and there is no danger of sideways. Because of the bitter taste, it can remove the bones and sink. Stir it with wine, mix with Siwu Decoction, take in the blood, cure the pain of the joints of the extremities, the aches and weakness of the feet and knees, the malignant sores all over the body and the athlete’s foot attack. Vomiting, nausea, yin deficiency and blood heat, anger in the feet, cover this blindly, the name is stealth scattered, can disperse the fire in the yin, can also calm roundworms, the righteousness of suffering from suffering.

11. “Ben Jing Feng Yuan”: cork, raw and used to reduce solid fire, wine system to treat yin fire and inflammation, salt system to treat lower coke fire, ginger to treat medium coke phlegm fire, ginger sauce black to treat damp heat, salt wine to stir black to treat false fire , Yin Deficiency Huo Sheng Mian Chi Dai Yang, aconite juice system.

12. “Changsha Yaojie”: Phellodendron chinense, let out the damp and heat of the soil, steamed by Qingyimu, regulate heat and reduce stress, regulate jaundice, full belly, and typhoid fever. Wumei Wan is used to treat Jueyin typhoid, when the breath hits the heart, the heart hurts and heats up, when eating, it will spit out roundworms, and the wood will turn into insects. The depression will give rise to heat, and the phellodendron will release the depression and raise the heat, but also kill roundworms. Pulsatilla decoction is used to treat Jueyin’s disease to benefit those who are severely affected by heat, while Muyu is beneficial to use it to produce heat. Phellodendron amurense vents the depression and heats, and lifts weights. “Golden Chamber” Zhizi Bopi Decoction is used to treat Taiyin disease and those with yellow body fever; Dahuang Nishitang is used to treat jaundice with full abdomen and urinary problems; with Yimu collapsibility, it cannot be drained, Yu gives birth to heat, which is transmitted to the bladder. The water does not open, overflowing in the meridians, the body is full of yellow abdomen and fever, and Phellodendron cypress drains damp heat and clears the bladder. Yang decays and soil dampness, but yimu does not reach it, suppresses the damp and heat on the face, and if you rush to your appetite, you will feel pain and heat in your heart. Phellodendron chinense is bitter and cold quickly, soothes the liver and spleen to relieve dampness and heat, clears the bladder and drains blood stasis and turbidity, which has a special quick effect. It can relieve the yang of the liver, kidney, spleen, and stomach, and later generations use it as an agent for nourishing yin and replenishing water, which causes many mistakes.

13. “De Pei Materia Medica”: Replenish water with Phellodendron chinense, with its ability to clear the yin fire from the bottom to the top, the water will be firm when the fire is clear. To cover the evil fire in the yin, it is not the real fire of the life gate. You may wish to remove it with the bitter cold. If the real water in the kidney is insufficient, the real fire in the water is floating on the top, it is appropriate to use the two places to nourish it, and the water can return to the dirty. If you misunderstand knowing and understanding, the water will become dry and the fire will become more inflammatory, and it will become a solitary yang flying over, and there is no way to save it. The fire of the gate of life, set its place as the little fire of life, and out of its place, it is the strong fire of Shuo Yin and Qi. It is also a fear of fire. It must be eliminated urgently. Chuanbai and Danpi are necessary. However, there is less fire, the source of loss of water, the bitterness of Chuanbai, not the pungent of paeon, for no harm to true yin.

14. “Pursuing the Truth of Materia Medica”: Phellodendron amurense was used in Liuwei Pills with Zhimu, named Zhibo Bawei Pills, and one or two Zhibo Bawei Pills were used. The liquor was washed and roasted into Gui, named Zishen Pills. It is said that it can nourish the true Yin, this is said, and the world is very sect, so that today, it is unbreakable. Return to know that Amuria chinensis is indulgent in yin, bitter in taste, cold in nature, and the order of midwinter to kill, so only enters Shaoyin to relieve fire, and enters bladder to relieve heat. If the patient’s fire is hyperactive, he sees bone steaming and heat, eyes are red, tinnitus, diarrhea and constipation, and damp-heat is a disease, and he sees all kinds of dysfunction and paralysis, water diarrhea, jaundice and edema, hemorrhoids, blood and intestinal wind, leakage of red and white, and Almost all pains, sores, itching, internal attacks of roundworms, the ruler is huge and powerful, and it can be used temporarily to fry the black to make the damp and heat flow down, and the yin fire is latent, so the yin will not be tortured, and the yin is It’s not that the true Yin is weakened. Taking this will have the power to moisturize. Therefore, it is good to make money in the real heat, but it will be detrimental and useless if the heat is empty. The nature of yin and cold can damage people’s popularity and reduce food. The life gate is the fire of true essence. It will die at first sight. The function of spleen and stomach is depressed at first sight. The vitality is both weak and cold storage is used to curb vitality. Why not.

15. “Chongqing Tang Essays”: The merits of Amur bark, the former has already known it, or the sight of the poison, do not use it if you are painful, is it a bad habit to discuss medicine and not disease? Hardship is hard. There are many diseases that are not firm in the lower part, such as stem dysfunction, turbidity, leakage, dysfunction, blood in the stool, and diarrhea. Nowadays, people don’t know the condition, but treat it from deficiency and cold, and don’t know that most of them belong to deficiency and heat. Under the cover, the coke is more damp, and the damp heat prevents the husband from vaporizing due to the yin deficiency and the fire, and then the semen is consumed, and then it becomes a disease that is not firm. To preserve anger, who would say that bitter cold is not good for anger? It is the treatment of the syndromes of Jiao dampness and heat under the treatment of Phellodendron amurense.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Huang Bai (phellodendron bark)
Phellodendron chinense and Coptis coptis also contain more berberine, so their pharmacological effects are also roughly similar, see Coptis coptis. But the content is lower than Coptidis, and contains other ingredients, the effect is also somewhat different.

1. Antibacterial effect:

The antibacterial active ingredient of Phellodendron chinense is berberine, so its pharmacological effect is similar to that of Coptidis, but its content is lower than Coptidis. In vitro tests are effective or strong against Staphylococcus aureus, pneumococcus, diphtheria bacillus, streptococcus viridis, dysentery bacillus (except Sonnett), hemolytic streptococcus, meningococcus, Vibrio cholerae, and Bacillus anthracis Inhibition; It also has an inhibitory effect on Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pertussis and Bacillus tetanus; it has no direct inhibitory effect on H37Rv and Mycobacterium avium, but it can reduce the number of bacteria, but when the concentration reaches 1%, it exhibits antibacterial effect. When guinea pigs were inoculated with human tuberculosis (H37Rv) for experimental treatment, the efficacy of oral or injection was very poor. For guinea pigs inoculated with bovine tuberculosis, the hydrochloric acid crystal of Phellodendron chinense extract has a certain effect when injected intramuscularly. Phellodendron amurense improves the clinical symptoms and X-ray examination of tuberculosis patients, and is better than Coptis. In the test tube, Phellodendron amurense decoction or infusion has varying degrees of antibacterial effect on common pathogenic fungi. Its water decoction cannot kill Leptospira (the dose needs to be 1 times larger than that of Coptis). It also has a weak effect on Trichomonas vaginalis in vitro. According to reports, Phellodendron amurense acid-base extract is made into a 1:1 phellodendri liquid, which can be cured by enema, and it can be cured in 2-4 days. Huangbai physiotherapy solution uses direct current to treat chronic prostatitis, with a total effective rate of 97.3%.

2. Antifungal effect:

The ether extract of Phellodendron amurense and Phellodendron amurense has a strong antibacterial effect on Cryptococcus neoformans and Trichophyton rubrum. Its effect is stronger than that of nystatin, but its inhibitory effect on Candida albicans is weaker than that of fungi.

3. Antitussive effect:

The volatilization of Phellodendron chinense fruit has an antitussive effect, and its antitussive component is mainly myringene. And from the volatile oil, berberine and 5,5′-dimethyl furfural ether are obtained.

4. Antihypertensive effect:

Intravenous injection or intraperitoneal injection of Phellodendron chinense in anesthetized animals can have a significant and long-lasting effect on blood pressure. Carotid artery injection is stronger than intravenous injection, so blood pressure reduction may be central. The tertiary amine compound named Xylopinin, synthesized by changing the quaternary ammonium type phellodendron, can also cause rapid and significant blood pressure reduction; cutting the spinal cord between the Ⅰ-Ⅱ cervical vertebrae will reduce blood pressure and disappear. Prove that blood pressure is central. In addition, Syropirin has a strong anti-adrenaline-like effect, and it has a high pressure response caused by compression of the carotid artery, suffocation, electrical stimulation of the large visceral nerve, and nictitating contraction caused by injection of epinephrine or electrical stimulation of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion. The reaction was suppressed.

5. Anti-trichomoniasis:

Phellodendron chinense decoction, 10% concentration and trichomoniasis solution 1:1 mixed culture, has an inhibitory effect on Trichomonas vaginalis.

6. Anti-hepatitis effect:

Huangbo decoction has an inhibitory effect on hepatitis B antigen in 6.25-100% in vitro tests. Phellodendron has a certain effect on chronic hepatitis.

7. Impact on immune function:

Phellodendron amurense decoction, 100% concentration, 0.3ml/gavage, for 7 consecutive days, can increase the number of splenic plaque-forming cells in mice.

8. Anti-ulcer effect:

Phellodendron chinense extract (deberberine) 100mg/kg subcutaneously injected, 100, 1000mg/kg gavage or intradermal injection, has inhibitory effect on rat gastric ulcer induced by ethanol, aspirin or pyloric ligation.

9. Other functions:

Phellodendrine and syropirin have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, and the spontaneous activities and various reflexes of mice are inhibited. When syropirin is given to unanaesthetized rabbits, the brain waves can show slow amplitude waves. Phellodendron has a mild curare-like effect and has no effect on the tension of the frog rectus abdominis, but it can inhibit the contraction response caused by acetylcholine. For isolated rabbit intestines, phellodendron powder can enhance its amplitude, phellodendron can enhance its tension and amplitude; phellodendron lactone can inhibit intestinal tract. In rabbits with pancreatic fistula, cork can promote pancreatic secretion. When phellodendron lactone is close to the lethal dose (0.05-0.1g/kg), it can lower the blood sugar of rabbits, but phellodendron has no such effect. Corkone is said to have the effect of protecting platelets. Phellodendron has a killing effect on larvae (10ppm can kill 62% in 18 hours) and houseflies. In addition, it has the effects of diuresis, stomach invigoration, and external use to promote the absorption of subcutaneous hemorrhage. (Source “Chinese Materia Medica”)

Each theory ① “Compendium”: “The bitter and cold of Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron amurense can nourish the kidney, cover the bitterness and dry dampness, and remove heat from the cold. Heat generates wind and dampness generates insects, so it can cure wind and kill insects. Only the kidneys If the water is weak but the fire is better, if the fire is weak and cold, the true essence is insufficient, and the elderly are not available. Zhang Congzheng also said that all medicines are poisonous, although licorice and sophora are not unimportant. Poison, taking a long time, each of the five flavors will return to its internal organs, and there must be a risk of increasing Qi and Qi. All medicines are true. Scholars should be able to grow by touching them, and the diet is also true. According to the “Historical Records”, Taicang Gongchunyu Italian doctor Qi doctors diseased tooth decay, moxibustion on the left hand Yangming pulse, gargle three liters a day with Sophora flavescens decoction, enter and leave the wind carefully, five or six days to heal, this also takes the meaning of eliminating wind and damp heat and insecticide.

②”Hundred Kinds of Materia Medica”: “Sophora flavescens, which specializes in treating the fire of the Heart Sutra, has a function similar to that of Coptidis. But Coptidis is more like the fire that removes the heart and the small intestine, so Coptidis The odor is clear, but the odor of Sophora flavescens is turbid. According to the word tonic, it also means bitter to dry the spleen.”

③ “Materia Medica Justice”: “Sophora flavescens, severe bitterness and cold, relieves fever, relieves damp fire, its effect is similar to that of Qin, Lian, and Gentian, but the bitterness of Sophora flavescens is worse, and its dryness is more intense, so it can Killing insects caused by damp heat is more powerful than Qin and Lian. People in recent years dare not take decoctions, and they are afraid of the bitterness and uncomfortable. They also think that they are harsh and avoid them. If this is not the case, people nowadays think that they are used to wash sores, and they might not avoid eating their ears because of choking.”

Clinical application: Ku Shen (sophora flavescens)

①Treatment of bacillary dysentery

(1) Oral method: 50% concentrated decoction, 20-30 ml each time, 3 times a day. Or use 2 taels of Sophora flavescens, add 400 ml of water and decoct into 200 ml, and take it twice a day, 7 to 10 days as a course of treatment. You can also use 0.5g tablets containing crude drugs, 2 to 4 tablets each time, 4 times a day.

After applying Sophora flavescens to the navel, the patient felt feverish in the abdomen, intestinal peristalsis was slightly increased, the exhaust was smooth, abdominal pain, stool and tenesmus were gradually reduced, and polyuria occurred at the same time. It is inferred from this that the drug may stimulate the umbilical acupoints, adjust the function of the autonomic nervous system through the neural reflex of the acupoints, promote gastrointestinal blood circulation, and enhance the phagocytosis of leukocytes, thereby resulting in curative effects. It is also believed that there are two links in obtaining its curative effect: one is the role of the drug itself, and the other is the role of the umbilical point.

Excerpt from “Chinese Medicine Dictionary”

Precautions and contraindications: Ku Shen (sophora flavescens)

Caution: empty spleen diarrhea; Cons: Radix et Rhizoma Veratri lí lŭ is not compatible (xiang fan) or incompatible with Radix Sophorae Flavescentis (ku shen), i.e. the combination leads to and additional

Overdose: nausea and vomiting, respiratory paralysis; pay attention to the maximum dosage!

Matrine was injected into rabbits, and the central nervous system was found to be paralyzed, and convulsions occurred at the same time, and eventually he stopped breathing and died. When injected into a frog, it becomes excited at first, then becomes paralyzed, breathing becomes slow and irregular, and finally spasms occur, resulting in death. The seizure of the spasm may be caused by the hyperreflexia of the spinal cord. The minimum lethal dose to rabbits is 0.4g/kg. Matrine alkaloids can cause spasm and paralyze the respiratory center of cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals. The mice that received larger doses of the drug showed excitement such as bounce and convulsions; the intravenously injected rabbits began to experience fear and anxiety, and finally died of difficulty in breathing. When sophocarpine is injected into rabbits in large doses (150mg/kg), it can cause venous congestion, drop in blood pressure, significantly reduce breathing frequency, respiratory paralysis and death due to poisoning. The results of the LD50 determination of matrine alkaloids are inconsistent. The LD50 of the total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens injected intravenously to mice was 103.1±7.66g/kg. The LD50 of intramuscular and intravenous injection of oxymatrine in mice were 256.74±573.6mg/kg and 144.2±22.8mg/kg, respectively. The LD50 of mice injected with kushen extract by gavage and intramuscular injection were 14.5g/kg and 14.4g/kg, respectively. The LD50 of subcutaneous injection of matrine crystalline base in mice is 571.2±48.8mg/kg. Canine intramuscular injection of matrine Jiechang (200mg/Kg) or Sophora flavescens extract (0.1g/kg), pigeon intramuscular injection of Sophora flavescens alkaloids (100mg/kg) showed no symptoms of poisoning. Sophora flavescens contraceptive suppository has no irritation to the vagina and cervix of mice.

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Ku Shen (sophora flavescens)
1. Avoid taking it if the spleen and stomach are cold.

2. “Introduction to Medicine”: Use with caution for those with weak stomachs.

3. “Ben Cao Jing Shu”: long-term use can damage the kidney qi, liver and kidney deficiency without severe fever, do not take it.

1. “Materia Medica Yanyi Supplement”: Sophora flavescens, which can strengthen the yin qi, or cause waist weight due to its qi drop, it is not a kind of kidney injury. It is effective in treating gale, and it has a fine rash of wind-heat.

2. “Compendium of Materia Medica”: The bitter cold of Sophora flavescens and Phellodendron amurense can invigorate the kidney, cover the bitterness, dry dampness, and remove heat from cold. Heat produces wind and dampness produces insects, so it can cure wind and kill insects. However, it is suitable for those who have weak kidneys and those who overcome the fire. If the fire is weak and cold, the true essence is insufficient, and the elderly cannot use it. Zhang Congzheng also said that all medicines are poisonous. Although licorice and sophora flavescens are not poisonous, the five flavors will return to their internal organs after a long period of time. It can be long, and so is the diet. According to the “Historical Records”, Taicang Gongchun Yu Yi treated doctor Qi with dental caries, moxibustion on the Yangming pulse of his left hand, gargle three liters a day with Sophora flavescens decoction, and healed in five or six days. Meaning.

3. “Materia Medica Huiyan”: Yao Fei Chengyun, Sophora flavescens, a medicine for dispelling wind and reducing fire, dampness and deworming. The predecessor said that Sophora flavescens nourishes the kidney and yin, its theory is quite absurd. This medicine is bitter and smelly, and it is dry and filthy, but it is suitable for those with strong kidney qi and damp fire. If the fire is weak and the essence is cold, the yuan yang is insufficient, and the elderly will have weak stomach and weak qi. Undesirable. In addition, for those who have a heavy waist after taking a long time, they will not rise because of their ability to drop, which means that the kidney is actually injured. .

4. “Hundred Kinds of Materia Medica”: Sophora flavescens, specializes in treating the fire of the Heart Sutra, similar in function to Huanglian. However, Coptidis is more like the fire to remove the heart, and the sophora flavescens is more like the fire to remove the heart and the small intestine. The smell of Coptidis is clear, and the odor of Sophora flavescens is turbid. According to the word “buzhong”, it also means suffering to dry the spleen.

5. “Changsha Yaojie”: “Golden Chamber” Sophora Decoction, treats foxes in the lower part, the liver is the main tendon, the former yin is the gathering of the tendons, the soil is wet and the wood is sinking, the depression is hot, and the metaplasia is NI , Erosion in the front yin, Sophora flavescens clears away heat and removes dampness, heals sores and kills insects. Angelica Peimu Kushen Pills are used to treat pregnancy and urinary difficulties, and the soil is wet and wood sinks, which causes heat to be stagnant.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Ku Shen (sophora flavescens)

1. Anti-tumor effect
Sophora flavescens
Matrine has anti-cancer activity. The survival rate of mice in the 500μg.d group was 40% at 2mo, while the control group all died within 23 days. Oxymatrine has no effect on this. Matrine has the effect of reducing mouse peritoneal macrophages to inhibit the proliferation of P815 tumor cells in vitro. Sophocarpine (Sophocarpine) also has anti-cancer activity. It has obvious inhibitory effect on S-180, U-14.ECA, L and other tumor strains in experimental mice. Matrine, oxymatrine, sophocarpine and their mixtures of A, B, and C bases in different proportions have different levels of inhibitory effects on S-180 solid tumors. The tumor inhibition rate of each monomer alkaloid is 35. % Above, when the dose of C alkali mixed in different proportions is 113mg/(kg.d), the tumor inhibition rate of continuous intraperitoneal injection for 10 days reaches 61.38%, which is 23.5% higher than the total alkali. Compared with matrine alone, There is a significant difference (P<0.01). Matrine has a significant inhibitory effect on the production rate of peripheral multidirectional hematopoietic progenitor cell colonies in chronic myeloid leukemia, with an inhibitory rate of 0.76, and the best inhibitory concentration is 100mg/L. Sophora flavescens decoction acts on human promyelocytic leukemia cells cultured in vitro. At a dose of 8 mg/ml, it can significantly induce leukemia cells to differentiate into mononuclear macrophages.

2. The effect of promoting white blood cells
Oxymatrine can prevent mouse leukopenia caused by MMC and cyclophosphamide. Intravenous or intramuscular injection of 30mg/kg matrine total alkali and 100mg/kg oxymatrine can affect normal rabbit peripheral blood leukocyte count It has a significant increase effect, and the effective time, maintenance time and peak white blood cell count of oxymatrine on normal rabbits are basically the same within 18 days after administration. The white effect is better than that of scyllohydrin. In the treatment experiment of total matrine, oxymatrine, and matrine on the leukopenia caused by 600-lens X-ray irradiation in rabbits, the total matrine group had white blood cell counts from 5 days after administration to the 19th day. Basically, it remained above 6000/mm3, while the control group did not recover the above level until 22 days; the whitening potency of oxymatrine was not higher than the total alkali, and matrine had no therapeutic effect. Oxymatrine can prevent and treat leukopenia caused by whole body irradiation of 60 cobalt r-rays of 500 luns in rabbits. The dose rate is 31 luns/min, which shows a certain preventive effect. At the dose rate of 120 luns/min, there is no preventive effect.

3. The effect on the cardiovascular system
Intravenous injection of matrine and oxymatrine of 1/4LD50 significantly counteracts arrhythmia induced by aconitine and chloroform-adrenaline in rats; intraperitoneal injection significantly counteracts chloroform-induced ventricular fibrillation in mice, and also improves aconitum The dosage required for alkali-induced arrhythmia in rats, against barium chloride-induced arrhythmia in rats and arrhythmia induced by ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery in rats. Intravenous injection of 30 mg/kg of oxymatrine to rabbits shortened the recovery time of adrenaline-induced arrhythmia, the treatment administration was shortened by an average of 43%, and the preventive administration was shortened by an average of 22%. Intravenous injection of 42mg/kg sophocarpine can resist calcium chloride-induced ventricular arrhythmia in mice and aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats; intravenous injection of 16mg/kg can increase ouabain-induced premature beats and cardioplegia in rabbits The required amount can also fight against coronary artery obstruction-reperfusion-induced arrhythmia in dogs, but not against calcium chloride-acetylcholine-induced atrial fibrillation in mice and chloroform-adrenaline-induced arrhythmia in rabbits. Intravenous injection of l/5 LD50 of sophoridine (11mg/kg) can prevent or treat aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats, and can also increase the tolerance of guinea pigs to various arrhythmias caused by ouabain, and prevent chlorine Barium chloride and calcium chloride induced arrhythmia in rats. 1/10 LD50 dose (5mg/kg) significantly shortens the time of adrenaline-induced arrhythmia in rabbits, and the duration of action is much longer than that of quinidine. It can also increase the left ventricular electrical fibrillation threshold of rabbits, and increase with the increase of intravenous injection dose. It can also reduce the rate of ventricular fibrillation induced by chloroform or carbon tetrachloride in mice in a dose-related manner, and resist carbon tetrachloride-adrenaline Arrhythmia caused by rabbits. Matrine alkaloids can dilate blood vessels and protect against acute myocardial ischemia. It can cause obvious hypotensive effect on anesthetized rabbits, generally reducing blood pressure by about 20mmHg, lasting for 2-3 minutes to return to normal; for isolated rabbit ear vessels, it can cause immediate dilation, and last for about 10 minutes; for acute hemorrhagic heart can be prolonged Its arrest time is about 7 minutes; it has obvious protective effect on acute myocardial ischemia caused by pituitary gland. Oxymatrine can increase rabbit atrial contractility, and has a good dose-effect relationship. 9μm does not affect myocardial excitability, but shortens the refractory period; reduces the threshold concentration of epinephrine to induce left atrium autonomy; slows down the right atrium Automatic rhythm, and reduce the positive frequency effect of CaCl2 on the right atrium. The amount of poisoning (360μm) can reduce myocardial contractility and excitability. Oxymatrine 50μmol/L can antagonize the positive frequency effect of isoproterenol. The low (high) concentration of oxymatrine (100μmol/L) in cultured cardiomyocytes can produce negative (positive) frequency effects mediated by α (β) receptors. Matrine can slow down the automatic frequency of the right atrium in guinea pigs, increase the contractility of the right atrium and reduce the MDF (maximum drive frequency) of the left atrium, in a dose-dependent manner; its negative frequency, positive muscle strength and negative MDF effects are all Straight line correlation. Matrine can inhibit the autonomic effects of aconitine-induced left atrium in rats or prolong the incubation period of aconitine-induced autorhythm and slow down its initial frequency; it can also increase ouabain-induced guinea pig right arrhythmia and adrenaline injection Induces the threshold concentration of guinea pig left atrium autonomy, and has a potentiating effect on the positive inotropic effect of ouabain. Matrine can be significantly inhibited by the Ca2+ channel blocker verapamil (1μmol/l), and the inhibition of smooth muscle is greater than that of the myocardium, suggesting that the positive inotropic effect of matrine may be related to the activation of Ca2+ channels. Matrine can increase the content of cAMP and decrease the level of cMP in rat plasma, and has no significant effect on the content of cAMP and cGMP in myocardial tissue. Sophoridine can increase the level of cAMP in rat plasma and the content of cAMP in myocardial tissue. Oxymatrine 50μmol/L and 250μmol/L have a significant inhibitory effect on the increase of lactate dehydrogenase content of cardiomyocytes in vitro induced by mitomycin C, and can alleviate the cardiomyocytes caused by hypoglycemia and hypoxia Damage, but has no protective effect on cardiomyocyte damage caused by chlorpromazine. Intramuscular injection of oxymatrine has the effect of prolonging the survival period of free allograft myocardium in mice, and its effect will increase with increasing dose. Sophora flavonoids 125-250μg/ml can slow down the spontaneous pulsation frequency of the cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte clusters, and can resist the spontaneous pulsation arrhythmia induced by the myocardial cell clusters and ouabain. The total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens have a significant antagonistic effect on ventricular fibrillation induced by inhalation of chloroform in mice, with an LD50 of 23.9±1.1 g/kg and a therapeutic index of 3.56. Intravenous injection of 8g and 30g/kg of total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens to rabbits, 30-60 minutes later, it can obviously resist the arrhythmia caused by chloroform-adrenaline. The complete confrontation rate is 40% and 70% respectively. Intravenous injection of total flavonoids of Sophora flavescens 20-40g/kg has a significant therapeutic effect on arrhythmia in rats caused by intravenous injection of aconitine. The effective rate of the first treatment was 63%, and the effective rate of the second treatment was 84%. Intravenous injection of matrine in rats can significantly counteract arrhythmias caused by aconitine, barium chloride and coronary artery ligation. Intravenous injection of total flavonoids of Sophora flavonoids 30g/kg and 60g/kg in anesthetized rats shows a significant negative effect. Autonomic action, negative frequency action and negative conduction action. These effects increase with increasing dose.

4. Anti-asthmatic and expectorant effects
Matrine mainly excites β receptors, especially the β receptors in the center, relieves bronchospasm and inhibits antibodies and

The release of slow-reacting substances produces anti-asthmatic effects. Matrine can resist the effect of acetylcholine and barium chloride in excitement of isolated guinea pigs, rat trachea and intestines in the calcium or calcium-free Krebsen nutrient solution. The anti-asthmatic effects of total matrine and oxymatrine on histamine-induced asthmatic guinea pigs are basically similar to those of aminophylline. The one-hour anti-asthmatic rate is above 90%, while the control group is about 15%; in terms of anti-asthmatic time, The anti-asthmatic rate of aminophylline in 6 hours is 55%, and the total alkali of matrine is more than 80%. Sophocarpine Ach has a stronger asthma-causing effect than aminophylline, and its anti-asthmatic effect may be through the activation of β-receptors in the midbrain. Phenol red excretion method proved that the total alkalis of sophora flavonoids and flavonoids 0.8g/kg in mice have obvious effect of dispelling talk.

5. Stabilization
Sophora flavescens 50-100mg/kg can significantly inhibit the free movement of mice; 400mg/kg can significantly inhibit the passive activity of mice; 100-200mg/kg can inhibit the aggressive behavior of lonely mice; Sophora flavescens 25 -40mg/kg combined with Dongmianling (5mg/kg) can cause mice to lose their righting reflex, 100-200mg/kg matrine total alkali can significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of 0.5mg/kg reserpine on spontaneous activities in mice ; Matrine total alkali 50-200mg/kg and intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium 20-25mg/kg in combination, can cause mice to fall asleep; respectively with thiopental sodium (intraperitoneal injection, 40mg/kg), The combination of chloral hydrate (intraperitoneal injection, 200mg/kg) can significantly enhance the central inhibitory effect. It can also significantly counteract psychomotor excitement caused by central stimulants amphetamine (intraperitoneal injection, 4-6mg/kg) and caffeine (50mg/kg); total alkaloids of matrine on convulsions caused by strychnine and pentylenetetrazol Not only does it have no antagonistic effect, but it enhances convulsions and increases the number of animal deaths; the total alkali of matrine alone has a mild analgesic effect, and when combined with a threshold dose of morphine, it can significantly increase its analgesic percentage.

6. Anti-allergic effect
Matrine can reduce the release of allergic mediators and is an immunosuppressant. Its concentration to inhibit 50% of T cell proliferation is 0.55-0.56 mg/ml; the concentration to inhibit IL-2 production is 0.1 mg/kg.

7. Immunosuppressive effect
Matrine and oxymatrine have inhibitory effects on the immune function of mice at a dose of 1/5 LD50. Rabbit and rat intramuscular injection of oxymatrine 150mg/kg or 100mg/kg has a significant inhibitory effect on passive or active skin allergic reactions, and has a significant inhibitory effect on the formation of rabbit serum IgE antibodies. Intraperitoneal injection of oxymatrine 200 mg/kg.d for 21 days has a protective effect on the death of mice caused by immediate allergy.

8. Other functions
Intramuscular injection of oxymatrine can significantly resist the exudative inflammation induced by croton oil, carrageenan (rats) and glacial acetic acid (mouse). Rabbit gavage, subcutaneous injection, intravenous injection, intraperitoneal injection and intramuscular injection of Kushen decoction, Kushen injection and matrine all have diuretic effects, and the amount of sodium chloride in the urine has a significant increase. Sophora flavescens 50% methanol extract has the effect of resisting ulcers caused by hydrochloric acid and ethanol, and its active ingredient is Kurarinone. In addition, matrine has antibacterial effects both in vivo and in vitro, and its strength in the body is equivalent to that of chloramphenicol. The alcohol extract has anti-trichomoniasis in vitro, and its strength is similar to that of hops.

Medicinal identification
⒈The product is bitter and cold. Among the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, it is second only to Maqianzi, better than Coptis, and ranks second.
Gentian
Gentian
It is often used for stomach failure, and it is not easy to eat, so it should be accompanied by licorice. To adjust the taste.
⒉Coptis and Gentiana are both essential medicines for clearing heat and purging fire. Rhizoma Coptidis partly clears the fire of the heart and stomach, and gentian is part of the fire of liver and gallbladder.
⒊Gentiana and Phellodendron cylindrica can both clear damp heat, but gentian is longer than the liver and gallbladder to reduce heat, and Phellodendron cylindrica mainly reduces the heat and clears deficiency and heat.

Indications:
It is used for damp-heat jaundice, yin swelling and itching, entrapment, eczema and itching, liver fire, red eyes, tinnitus and deafness, hypochondriac pain, pain in the mouth, strong middle, convulsions and convulsions.

; To relieve the liver and relieve the convulsions. Damp-heat jaundice; painful urination; swollen vagina; itchy dampness; head swelling and headache due to liver and gallbladder fire; red eyes, swelling and pain; deafness and ear swelling; hypochondriac pain and painful mouth;
Gentian is also effective in treating hair loss. In modern society, due to the acceleration of the pace of life, work pressure has increased, and the mental burden has increased, and hair loss patients have become more and more common. Generally, the treatment of hair loss is already difficult. It is more difficult to treat patients with total baldness in clinical practice. Even those with brows, beards, armpit hairs, pubic hairs, etc. who have all stripped off and become general hair loss, the treatment is even more difficult. From 2000 to 2003, a total of 6 patients with total herniation were treated. All of them have been treated with Western medicine or externally treated with a variety of drugs but have not improved. The clinical manifestations are full loss of hair, red tongue, yellow coating, or red tongue, crimson thorns, The moss is thin and yellow, and the pulse string is several. After taking the medicine internally and using the external washing formula, after 2 courses of treatment (30 days × 2), the patient’s eyebrows, armpit hair, and pubic hair have grown; after 6 courses of treatment, the scalp becomes black and protrudes from sparse hair. After 12 courses of treatment, the hair is dense and the general hair is healed. After long-term follow-up, the treated patient has dark hair and no recurrences. She realized that in the treatment of hair loss, the treatment of hair loss should be based on the fact that there is no deficiency in the treatment, and it is the only medicine that can be used for treatment. [2]

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Long Dan Cao (gentiana)
1. “Compendium of Materia Medica”: “Cure sore throat, wind-heat and night sweats.” [1] 2. “This Sutra”: “Cold and hot between the main bones, seizures, continuation of the wounds, fix the five internal organs, and kill the poison.”
3. “New Compilation of Materia Medica”: “Gentiana gentianum is specialized in diuresis, dehumidification, jaundice, and other treatments for eyes, diarrhea, swelling, and fever, all of which are promoted. But this is too profitable. , Inevitably deplete qi and blood, water disappears and blood also disappears, dampness disappears and qi disappears, the first onset of watery jaundice, it has to be used urgently, the chronically ill watery jaundice, it must be used slowly, but it is not possible. Quanzhen is the divine pill for diuresis, the elixir for eliminating dampness and eliminating spleen. It is also called gentian grass to treat damp-heat, the most beneficial to spleen disease, and it is also the disease of damp-heat. However, gentian is used to cure jaundice, and it is often ineffective. What is it? Jaundice is not just a kind of dampness and heat. Some people who become jaundice if they are not hot can not be cured by gentian. Eudangrass relieves the heat in the dampness, and cannot relieve the dampness that is not hot.”
4. “Materia Medica Justice”: “Gentiana gentiana is bitter and cold, and it works with Qin, but the “Book of Classics” says its taste is astringent, and its performance is kept inside, so it is only used to treat bone heat; Yu Zeqing It is enough to release the excess fire from the liver and gallbladder, and clear the knot of damp heat in the lower coke, and it is enough to do what you can; and the poison of mold sore and the ulcer of suffocation are all related to rampant fire. Just let go of the focus.”
5. “The Sketch Book”: “Ancient prescription is often used to treat jaundice.”
6. “Southern Yunnan Materia Medica”: “Cures sore throat, washes sores, scabies and swelling.”

⒈ “Medical Qiyuan”: Bupleurum humilis is the mainstay, and the grass gentian is used as a medicine. It is also a necessary medicine in the treatment of eye diseases. Treats yellow eyes, red eyes, swelling of eyes, raised blood stasis, and it is painful. The “Secrets of Indications” says: Treat rheumatism and dampness in the lower part, swelling and pain from below the navel to the foot, and cold and damp athlete’s foot.
⒉ “Compendium”: treatment of sore throat, wind-heat and night sweats. The phase fire rests on the liver and gallbladder, and there is no tonifying effect. Therefore, the qi of gentian, which benefits the liver and gallbladder, is just because it can relieve the evil heat of the liver and gallbladder. However, due to the severe bitterness and cold, the qi that grows in the stomach may be hurt by overtaking, and it will help the evil spirits.
⒊”Materia Medica Sutra”: Herbal gentian has a bitter taste, a recurring cold in nature, and a pure yin medicine. Although it can eliminate the actual heat, people with less gastric deficiency and blood should not try it lightly. Fasting bait is so drowning, because it is too bitter to vent too much.
⒋ “Materia Medica”: Gentiana is the correct medicine for foot Jueyin and Shaoyang. It can relieve fire, but if it is used, all fires will be cured. Where there is excess fire in the liver and kidney, it is suitable.
⒌”Medicines’ Interpretation”: Dancao specializes in reducing the fire of liver and gallbladder, mainly treating eye pain and neck pain, pain in two flanks, epilepsy evil, malnutrition in children, and all the diseases of the liver meridian are used wonderfully. Its smell is thick and heavy, it is good for clearing the damp and heat of the lower coke, if the bursa, feces, chancre, and urinary stagnation, men’s yang is swollen, or shiny pus, or itching in the stem, women’s vulva pain, or itching Sores can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction, which has the power of bitter cold to overcome heat. It can also remove stomach fever, smooth roundworms, and relieve the ears when the roundworms are bitter.
⒍ “New Compilation of Materia Medica”: Gentiana gentiana, its functions specialize in diuresis, dehumidification, jaundice, the rest of the eyes, stop dysentery, swelling, and fever, all promoted. However, this kind of excessive distribution of benefits will consume blood and blood. The water will disappear and the blood will disappear. The dampness will disappear and the air will disappear. The first onset of watery jaundice has to be used urgently, and the chronically ill watery jaundice cannot be used Don’t slow down, it’s not as good as the divine pill of water, and the elixir of dehumidification and diarrhea. Or it is said that gentian grass is the most beneficial for curing damp-heat, and it is the disease of damp-heat. However, gentian grass is used to cure jaundice. Why is it not effective? Jaundice is not just a kind of damp and heat, and some people who become jaundice without heat can not be cured by gentian. Eudangrass scavenge the heat in the dampness, not the dampness that is not hot.
⒎ “Medical Comprehension of Chinese and Western References”: Gentian, bitter and slightly acidic, is a good medicine for stomachers. Its bitterness can reduce stomach qi and strengthen the stomach; its acidity can also replenish the sour juice in the stomach and digest food. If the stomach heat is reversed, and the stomach juice is short, and cannot eat, it can be taken as an appetizer. Its power to relieve the heat of the liver and gallbladder is several times that of peony, and it is not as good as peony to suppress the deficiency and heat of the liver and gallbladder.
⒏ “Materia Medica Justice”: gentian grass, bitter and cold, and Qin together with power, but “Ben Jing” said that its taste is astringent, and its performance is kept inside, so it is only used to treat bone heat; the rest is to clear the liver and gallbladder. Excessive fire can clear the knot of dampness and heat in the lower coke, which is enough to do what it can. The poison of mildew sore and the ulcer of carbuncle are all related to the flames. It’s more than righteous.
⒐ “This Classic”: The main bones are cold and hot, epileptic evil, continued injury, fixed the five internal organs, and killed poison.
⒑ “Do not record”: In addition to the stomach heat, the temperature is hot at times, the heat releases the benefit, removes the small worms in the intestines, helps the liver and gallbladder, and relieves panic.
⒒ “Theory of Drug Properties”: Mainly in children with epilepsy into the heart, strengthening heat, bone heat, carbuncle; curing disease and heat yellow, mouth sores.
⒓ “Rihuazi Materia Medica”: treats guests, malnutrition, madness, fever, scabies, improved eyesight, and relieves annoyance.
⒔ “The Sketch Book”: Ancient prescriptions are used to treat jaundice.
⒕ “Lugan Rock Materia Medica”: cures alcohol poisoning with blood in the stool, blood in the intestinal wind.
⒖”Southern Yunnan Materia Medica”: cure sore throat, wash sores, scabies and swelling.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology:Long Dan Cao (gentiana)
Effects on the digestive tract Gentian or gentiopicroside can promote gastric juice and gastric acid secretion. Gentiopicroside administered orally to dogs that cause gastric fistula can promote gastric juice secretion, increase free hydrochloric acid, and increase appetite. However, sublingual smearing or intravenous injection is ineffective, so it is believed that gentiopicroside can directly promote gastric juice secretion and increase free acid.
Choleretic and hepatoprotective effects Taking healthy and liver-damaged mice, giving 50g/kg gentian injection to the duodenum or intravenous injection of 4.5g/kg in healthy dogs can significantly increase the bile flow. From the canine bile secretion flow curve, it can be seen that there are two peaks at 5 minutes and 20 minutes after administration. Longdan injection 25g/kg subcutaneously can significantly reduce the serum bilirubin content in the experimental jaundice model (hyperbilirubinemia and cholestasis) in mice caused by α-naphthalene isothiocyanate.
Diuretic effect: Gentian injection 10g/kg, ear vein injection, can increase the average urine output of 5 rabbits from 0.76ml per 30 minutes before administration to 2.64ml (p<0.1), suggesting that gentian has obvious diuretic effect .
Antibacterial effect 14 species of Gentian were tested, of which 7 had effects on rhizobia, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, etc. The gentian water extract has varying degrees of inhibition on the dermatophytes such as Trichophyton gypsum-like bacteria Nocardia stellariae in the test tube. The test tube method proved that the gentian decoction has varying degrees of inhibitory effects on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, Typhoid bacillus, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.
Effects on the central nervous system Gentiline has an excitatory effect on the central nervous system of mice, but anesthetic effects appear at larger doses. Swertia picroside can inhibit the central nervous system and has analgesic and sedative effects. It has antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscle of intestine and uterus.
Other effects When taken in large quantities, it can hinder digestion, sometimes have headaches, flushing, and dizziness. The Huaaidan containing gentian (species not indicated) was used to test Ehrlich ascites small carcinoma in mice, which proved to have anti-tumor effect. Large doses of gentian tincture have a hypotensive effect on anesthetized animals, and can inhibit the heart and slow down the heart rate. The gentiopicroside proposed from G.lutea is used for malaria fever and experimental arthritis caused by antimicrobial formaldehyde with high toxicity of Plasmodium. Gentiline has antihypertensive effects on cats and has anti-inflammatory effects on experimental formaldehyde arthritis in rats. The aqueous extract of gentian has an inhibitory effect on the delayed-type allergic reaction of mice induced by chloropicrin.
Longdan Xiegan Decoction (“Medical Prescriptions”) treats liver and gallbladder fire and inflammation, headache, red eyes, hypochondriac pain, deafness, ear swelling, red tongue, yellow coating, strong pulse string. Liver meridian damp-heat betting card. Yin swelling, itching, sinews, diarrhea, turbid urine, or yellowish smell in women, red tongue and yellow greasy coating. Gentiana 6g, Scutellaria baicalensis 9g, Gardenia 9g, Alisma orientalis 12g, Mutong 9g, Plantago 9g, Angelica 3g, Rehmannia glutinosa 9g, Bupleurum 6g, Raw licorice 6g. Decoction in water. Pills can also be used, 6-9 grams per serving, twice a day, with warm boiled water. In the prescription, gentian grass has severe bitterness and severe cold, which relieves fire and removes dampness.
Longdan powder (“Taiping Shenghui Prescription”) cures yellowing, sweating on the forehead, hot hands and feet, pain in the limbs, cold and heat at dusk, self-interest in urination, etc. 0.6 grams of gentian, 1 gram of Ophiopogon japonicus, licorice, Bupleurum, hemp, and rhino horn each, and 30 grams of oysters. The top 7 flavors are loose, decoct in water, add 0.5 cups of raw rehmannia juice, and take it warmly. In the prescription, gentian grass is compatible with various medicines to reduce liver and gallbladder fire, and remove damp heat.
Single-flavor ground powder, decoction, or boiled water to treat epistaxis caused by liver fire. [4]

Heat Clearing Herbs: Blood Cooling

Name and Description: Xi Jiao (cornu rhinoceri)
Rhinocerotis Cornu xī jiăo

(Note: Xi Jiao is an endangered animal and its use is prohìbited.)

At present, buffalo horns (that is, the double horns of water buffalo) are used clinically as a substitute for rhino horns. According to the record of “Bielu”, water buffalo horns can “cure seasonal cold and heat headache”, and “Daming Materia Medica” says: “Fried juice, cures hot, poisonous wind and strong heat.” According to the above, the effect of buffalo horn is similar to rhino horn. The Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine quoted a survey report from the Tianjin Municipal Pharmaceutical Bureau that said that a citizen in Tianjin has been able to treat infantile fever with buffalo horn for more than ten years and has had good results, and clinical trials are also recommended.

1) Rhinoceros horn is a medicine for blindly clearing blood and antipyretic. When it is matched with bezoar or antelope horn, it will calm the heart and calm down; when it is matched with fresh ground, red peony root, and danpi, it will cool the blood to stop bleeding, and it will be matched with large green leaves, scrophulariaceae, Cohosh, etc. will cool the blood to dissolve spots; with forsythia, bamboo leaf curling heart, etc., will clear the heart and detoxify; with plaster, anemarrhena, scrophulariaceae, etc., will cool the serum and heat.

(2) Rhinoceros horns and fresh ground can clear heat and cool blood, fresh ground grows longer than nourishing yin and nourishing body fluid, while rhino horns tend to detoxify and relieve convulsions. Rhinoceros horn is mainly used to clear blood and separate heat, which is also different from that of plaster. However, rhino horn is the same as plaster, and it has a very good effect in curing qi and blood.

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Xi Jiao (cornu rhinoceri)
1. Impact on the cardiovascular system
a. Heart strengthening effect: 10% rhino horn decoction has a heart strengthening effect on the in-situ or isolated toad heart and isolated rabbit heart, which can strengthen the contractility of the heart, increase the amplitude, increase the heart rate, and increase the output per minute . Increasing the dose will cause the isolated toad heart to show a cardiotonic effect, and it will soon become poisoned, and finally stop in the systolic phase. The hot infusion of rhino horn can significantly strengthen the heartbeat and restore it to its original shape on the frog’s heart that is weakened by pilocarpine. The heart strengthening effect of rhino horn is mainly due to the direct excitement of the myocardium.
b. Effect on blood vessels: 10% rhino horn decoction was used to perfuse the lower limbs of toads. In a short time, the blood flow decreased than normal, and then gradually increased, exceeding the normal flow. It suggests that the blood vessels of the lower extremities contract first and then expand.
c. Effect on blood pressure: Rhinoceros horn decoction is intravenously injected into anesthetized dogs and rabbits. The blood pressure first rises, then drops, and then continues to rise. Its antihypertensive effect has little to do with the vagus nerve. The phenomenon that its blood pressure first rises and then drops may be related to its contraction of blood vessels first and then expansion. When the blood pressure is restored, it continues to increase again, possibly because its excitatory effect on the heart exceeds the effect of vasodilation at this time or the reason that the vasodilation effect has been eliminated at this time.
2. Antipyretic effect: Rhinoceros horn has no antipyretic effect on E. coli fever rabbits. However, it is reported that intravenous injection of the saline solution of rhino horn can reduce the body temperature of rabbits with fever caused by E. coli. It has no antipyretic effect on rabbits that have fever caused by thermal stimulation or intracerebral injection of adrenaline. Intravenous or subcutaneous injection of rhino horn extract has no antipyretic effect.
3. Anti-convulsive effect. It has been reported that rhino horn has a certain anti-convulsive effect, and its point of action on the central nervous system may be mainly in the spinal cord. Experiments have shown that: Gavage of rhino horn suspension to mice (3g/kg body weight) for three consecutive days has no obvious effect on the effects of pentetrazole and caffeine, but the effect on strychnine seems to prolong the response The incubation period and animal survival time, animal reaction rate and mortality rate also decreased, and at the same time, the sleep time of animals in the pentobarbital sodium group could be prolonged.
4. Other effects. In healthy rabbits, intravenous injection of rhino horn injection can cause the total number of white blood cells to decrease sharply for a short time, and then there will be a long-lasting increase. It can also shorten the clotting time, blood

Contemporary Research and Pharmacology: Sheng Di Huang (rehmannia)
1. The effect on the cardiovascular system
a. Effect on the heart: Experiments have shown that Sheng Di Huang Liu extract has a significant effect on the contractility of the frog’s heart, and it is more pronounced on the weakened heart, but large doses can poison the normal frog’s heart. Rats receive intravenous injection of ethanol from the rehmannia glutinosa. Extracts and water extracts have a significant inhibitory effect on the heart, slowing the heartbeat or even stopping it. Therefore, when using large doses of Rehmannia glutinosa, attention should be paid to the toxicity to the heart. [6] b. Effects on blood pressure: Rats were injected with Dihuang water, alcohol and ether extracts into the intraperitoneal cavity of rats. The results showed that: the water extract had a significant effect on lowering the blood pressure of acute experimental hypertension, while the alcohol and ether extracts had no obvious effect on hypertension. It has a stabilizing effect on blood pressure under cold conditions (room temperature 23℃). Intravenous injection of Rehmannia glutinosa extract in rabbits and dogs can increase blood pressure. When the hind legs of toads are perfused, the medium concentration causes the blood vessels to contract, and the high concentration causes the blood vessels to dilate. Intravenous injection of the alcohol extract of Huaiqing Dihuang to anesthetized dogs and rabbits can reduce blood pressure. Experimental proof: Liuwei Dihuang Decoction is experimental on rats

Rehmannia
Renal hypertension has obvious effects of lowering blood pressure, improving renal function, and reducing mortality.
2. Effect on blood: The yellow needle-like crystals obtained from the ethanol extract of Rehmannia glutinosa can shorten the clotting time of rabbits, but the effect of its water decoction is not obvious. Experiments show that the decoctions of raw rehmannia, rehmannia glutinosa, raw rehmannia, and rehmannia glutinosa can significantly shorten the clotting time, and there is no significant difference between them.
The DIC effect study on nine different kinds of rehmannia and radix rehmanniae proved that one of the rehmannia glutinosa produced in China has an antithrombin effect, and two have the effect of activating the fibrinolytic system, which can obviously resist thrombin and endotoxin induced DIC occurred in rats, but there was no platelet aggregation.
Rehmannia glutinosa has both hemostatic and anticoagulant effects, and its mechanism needs to be further studied.
100% Shengdi injection was injected into the intraperitoneal cavity of rats, 1ml per day for 6 consecutive days, which can reduce the platelet damage caused by cobalt 60 irradiation and accelerate the recovery. [6] 3. The effect on blood sugar: The effect of Dihuang on blood sugar needs to be further studied. After decoction, infusion or alcohol extract is given to rabbits by gavage or injection, it can reduce normal blood sugar and hyperglycemia caused by epinephrine and amine chloride. It has been reported that subcutaneous injection of 2g/kg of rehmandinol extract solution or 4g/kg gavage can reduce blood sugar in rabbits. The injection administration is more obvious, and the blood sugar drops to the lowest level 4 hours after the administration. Intramuscular injection of 20g of dihuang alcohol extract solution can also inhibit and prevent the elevation of blood sugar in rabbits caused by adrenaline. Single-flavored Dihuang Dihuang has a more significant blood sugar lowering effect than Pueraria lobata; Bawei Dihuang Wan has a lower blood-sugar effect than that of single-flavored Dihuang. It is reported that Bawei Dihuang Decoction has a lowering effect on rats’ hyperglycemia caused by alloxan. Another report

Rehmannia glutinosa water or alcohol extract only reduces blood sugar in normal rabbits, but is not effective against hyperglycemia caused by adrenaline.
However, there are also reports to the contrary. Experiments on rabbits with alcohol extracts, decoctions, and water extracts of Rehmannia glutinosa did not observe the blood sugar-lowering effect of Rehmannia glutinosa.
4. The effect on the central nervous system. Rehmannia glutinosa has an obvious sedative effect, and its action site may be in the cerebral cortex. Its water extract can inhibit the autonomous activities of mice, and can strengthen the hypnotic effect of subliminal hypnotic doses of sodium pentobarbital and thiopental sodium. At the same time, it can also resist the excitatory effect of sodium nitrate, but not against the effect of nitrate nitrate. Convulsions caused by Ning and Pentylenetetrazol. The sedative effect of Rehmannia glutinosa is beneficial to alleviate the symptoms of hypertensive patients and significantly improve the insomnia caused by hypertensive patients, with an effective rate of 94%. Some people think that the sedative components of Rehmannia glutinosa are mainly water-soluble substances. Oral rehmannia glutinosa decoction extract, alcohol extract or intraperitoneal injection of 10g/kg can all have a synergistic effect on the hypnotic effect of sodium pentobarbital.
5. Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. Rehmannia decoction has obvious antagonism to rat formaldehyde arthritis and egg white arthritis, and can inhibit the granuloma caused by subcutaneous injection of turpentine and the capillary permeability caused by histamine. Sexual increase. Rehmannia glutinosa water extract has a significant inhibitory effect on the increase in vascular permeability caused by histamine and peritonitis caused by acetic acid in mice. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect on acute inflammation caused by egg white, while the alcohol and ether extracts of rehmannia glutinosa have no anti-inflammatory effect. .
It has been reported that dried Rehmannia glutinosa water extract can significantly increase T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and dried Rehmannia glutinosa alcohol extract can significantly promote the production of anti-SRPC antibody-hemolysin and reduce peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Rehmannia glutinosa water extract does not. This role.
6. Antifungal effect 　Rehmannia glutinosa water extract against tinea bursa, microsporum gypsum, and microsporum latifolia

And the growth of many kinds of fungi such as Oduon Microsporum can inhibit the growth of. [6] 7. Effects on endocrine 　Dihuang has the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on the pituitary-adrenal cortex system, and can promote the synthesis of adrenal cortex hormones. Clinical observations have found that the combined use of Rehmannia glutinosa and glucocorticoids can reduce the side effects of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity caused by hormones. The combined use of Shengdi and dexamethasone can gradually increase the concentration of corticosterone in rabbits, but pathological observations show that it has no significant changes in the morphology of the pituitary and adrenal cortex of rabbits, which suggests that Shengdi can reduce the effect of glucocorticoid on the rabbit pituitary. -The influence of the function and morphology of the adrenal cortex system. Animal experiments show that Rehmannia glutinosa can resist the decrease of plasma corticosterone concentration after continuous administration of dexamethasone, and can prevent adrenal cortex atrophy. Rehmannia decoction can significantly reduce the content of vitamin C in the adrenal glands of rats. [4] 8. Anti-tumor effect 　 Liuwei Dihuang Decoction can obviously resist the effect of N-nitrosoacetate-induced squamous cell carcinoma of the front stomach in mice (similar to human esophageal cancer). It is generally believed that the anti-tumor effect of Rehmannia glutinosa is related to the increase of immune function. Rehmannia glutinosa promotes the transformation of lymphoblasts, increases the number of T-lymphocytes, and can enhance the phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system, especially for those with weakened immune function. The effect is more obvious.
9. Other effects. It has been reported that after intravenous injection of Dihuang extract in anesthetized dogs, urine output per unit time increases. The principle of diuresis may be related to its heart strengthening and blood vessel expansion. However, there are also reports of Dihuang Shuijian extract and alcohol extract. The diuretic effect on rats has not been confirmed. [6] 10. Heat into the camp and blood, rash and vomiting
Rehmannia glutinosa is moisturizing in quality, cold and clear from bitter cold, and it can be divided into camp and blood. It is an important medicine for clearing camp, cooling blood, and hemostasis. It is used for warming disease and fever into the camp blood, strong heat and polydipsia, dizzy tongue, often used the same as water buffalo horns and Scrophulariaceae, such as Qingying Decoction in “Febrile Diseases Tiaobian”; if the blood is too hot, vomiting blood and bleeding , Purple and black macules, often compatible with water buffalo horn, red peony root, and Moutan bark, such as rhinoceros rehmannia decoction in “The Essential Prescriptions for Thousand Golds”; Use with raw mugwort leaves and raw cypress leaves, such as Sisheng Pills in “Women’s Remedy”; if the blood is hot and vomiting, it can be compatible with Moutan bark, Jiaoshanzhi, Panax notoginseng, etc., such as “Medical Insights” 》Sheng Dihuang Decoction.

It is used for those who have not exhausted the residual heat in the later stage of febrile disease, the evil is submerged in the yin, the night is hot and the cold is early, and the tongue is red and the veins are red. ; If the yin deficiency and fire are prosperous and the night sweats will not stop, it is often used with cork, astragalus, floating wheat, etc., such as “Jingyue Quanshu” Shengdi Huangjian; if the yin deficiency caused by fatigue, the bone is steamed and heated, it can be used with Mudan Pi, Zhimu, etc. Compatibility of Digupi, such as “Ancient and Modern Medicine” Rehmannia Ointment; If the lung yin is deficient, dry cough due to exhaustion, dry throat and hemoptysis, it is often used together with ginseng, poria, white honey, such as “Hong’s Collected Prescriptions” Qiongyu Ointment.

xuán shēn Scrophulariae Radix and antihypertensive (reinforcing effect) (theoretical)
xuán shēn Scrophulariae Radix could increase the effects of antihypertensive drugs.

This herb has been noted to antagonize Rhizoma Zingiberis Officinalis (gan jiang), Radix Astragali Membranacei (huang qi), Fructus Zizyphi Jujubae (da zao), Frucutus Corni Officinalis (shan zhu yu), and is incompatible with Rhizoma et Radix Veratri ( lu).

Chinese Materia Medica Classics: Xuan Shen (scrophularia)
Zhang element: Scrophulariaceae, is the agent of the cardinal, controls all qi up and down, clears and does not become turbid, and is often used in wind medicine. Therefore, Scrophulariaceae and cohosh decoction in the Book of the Living is known as the agent for purging cardinals if the poison persists after vomiting after sweating. On this basis, to cure the air entrapped in the air and the rootless fire, Scrophulariaceae is the sacred medicine.
“Compendium”: Kidney water is injured, true yin is lost, solitary yang has no root, and it is a fire disease. The law should strengthen water to make fire, so Xuan participates in the same power of Dihuang. The elimination of scrofula is also a fire, Liu Shouzhen said that tuberculosis is a fire.

“Materia Medica”: Scrophulariaceae, the taste is bitter but sweet, bitterness can clear the fire, and sweetness can nourish the yin, because of its sweet taste, so the lowering of the sex is slow. “Materia Medica” says that it only enters the kidney meridian, but does not know that it especially goes to the lungs, so it can retreat the floating fire without roots, and disperse phlegm and heat carbuncle in the whole body.
“Medicine Huayi”: Dai Ren said that the kidney is cold, but deficiency is hot. Such as indulgence and depletion of essence, loss of true yin, causing inflammation of the virtual fire, with Scrophulariaceae to nourish yin and suppress fire. Headaches, heat toxins, tinnitus, sore throat, throat wind, scrofula, typhoid and yang toxin, and heart depression, all have no roots and are caused by floating fire. This has the effect of being clear and clear. There are big differences in the treatment of kidney deficiency. The deficiency of the kidney channels is cold and damp, and it should be warmed; the visceral deficiency of the kidneys is hot and dry, and it is appropriate to cool to nourish the kidneys; It is the king medicine for the kidneys.
“Jade Catalpa medicine solution”: Scrophulariaceae, clear gold and hydrating, all sores and ulcers are hot and painful, thoracic and diaphragm are dry and thirst, dark stools are red and astringent, and bladder closure is good. Take the lung clearing together with dried tangerine peel and almonds, and take the diuresis together with Poria and Alisma orientalis.
“Materia Medica Zhengyi”: Scrophulariaceae, the nature of the most yin, specializes in the treatment of fever, and the bitter taste will vent and decline, so it can cure the heat of the viscera and other syndromes. The taste is pungent and slightly salty, so go straight to the blood to clear blood stasis. It can also travel outside the tunnel, and dissipate the carbuncle caused by heat dissipation. It is cold but not severe, moist but not greasy, and its temperament is similar to that of knowledge, cypress, and natural land, but relatively gentle, with slight disadvantages. Scrophulariaceae is endowed with yin and cold, which can relieve evil and heat, but it is not a good product. “Bielu” said that it is too much to replenish the deficiencies and improve the essence, but the “Rihua” actually called it to replenish the damage, and Jing Yue directly said that it can nourish the yin, and it is close to the lake and said that it has the same merit as Rehmannia glutinosa. Then use it for yin deficiency and cowardice, then why should the rootless fire fold its head straight and extinguish it quickly? And the harm was not obvious at that time, and the floating fire was suppressed by it, and the evidence of coughing and choking was also rarely seen. The ignorant party attributed it to the nourishing yin and reducing the fire, and the ignorance of the first line of yang has gradually disappeared. Since then, it can’t be cured. This feminine harm is equal to those who want to use knowledge and cypress, so the word nourishing yin is wrong. Treat the heat of the chest, diaphragm, heart and lungs, and clear the heat of the bladder, liver and kidney. Cure wind-heat sore throat, discharge liver-yang red eyes, stop spontaneous sweating and night sweats, treat vomiting and bleeding.

“Medical Zhong Shen Xi Lu”: Scrophulariaceae, sweet and slightly bitter in taste, cool in nature and more liquid, originally used to clear the kidney meridian. It can also enter the lungs to clear the lungs and radiate heat, detoxify and eliminate fire. It is most suitable for pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary heat and coughing. “This Classic” says that it treats the surplus disease of milk production, because it is cool in nature but not cold, it is good at nourishing yin, and has a tonic nature, so postpartum blood deficiency and heat generation and postpartum cold
