Introduction: The complexity of the dietary structure and the change of living habits make our gastrointestinal tract feel overwhelmed, so the number of people with stomach full of bloating gradually increases, thus having the saying of "ten people and nine stomachs". In gastrointestinal diseases, especially bloating, there is a type of bloating that is closely related to the cold, and often insidiously onset, and conventional digestive drug treatment is ineffective, we may wish to look at this kind of bloating. #如何学好中医经典 "On Typhoid Fever" #
Exaggerated bloating
As a Traditional Chinese medicine doctor, I first entered the clinic, mainly engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the hepatobiliary spleen and stomach system, so as to contact many patients with stomach full of bloating, but one of the types of bloating makes clinicians feel very tricky, this kind of bloating is after the cold, or the bloating associated with the cold.
Patients will often tell you: "Doctor, since the last cold, there has been gradual bloating, a meal on the swelling is severe, the stool is not very smooth, eat some laxatives, no effect; checked the gastroscope, there is no big problem, digestion-aiding drugs have eaten a lot, no effect; Chinese medicine shunqi drugs have not eaten less, a little effect, but the effect is not very large, what is going on? ”
For this kind of bloating, Dr. Zhou himself has personal experience, it is indeed very uncomfortable, when the bloating is serious, I just want to quietly lie on the bed to rest, and I feel that there is chest tightness and shortness of breath when walking. The reason why this kind of bloating is difficult to treat is that it is not a problem of stomach function, nor a problem of small intestinal function, nor is it a problem of liver qi, so those conventional treatment measures are ineffective.
The wisdom of the healing saint Zhongjing
Sun disease, after the next, the pulse of the chest full, guizhi to peony soup master. If it is slightly cold, the guizhi goes to the peony and adds the soup to the lord.
In order to effectively treat the special bloating we described above, we must understand this provision in the Treatise on Typhoid Fever of the Physician Zhongjing. In this article, the doctor Sheng Zhongjing believes: "When a patient has sun disease, that is, after we often say that after a cold, there may be chest fullness, or upper abdomen swelling and discomfort, at this time the pulse will be slightly more than usual, especially after eating." At this time, the method of treatment is to use cinnamon branches to remove peony soup."
The essence of this provision is that after a cold, the meridian qi of our lungs is damaged, and the function of the large intestine in the table is affected, so that the chest and abdomen are full, the essence of which is that the meridian qi of the lungs sinks, and some people say that the chest yang is depressed. Clinically, we can observe that patients with poor liver function, such as alcoholic liver, fatty liver, and abnormal liver function, are most likely to have such a situation, so there is also a body liver deficiency here, so the function of the large intestine that is connected with it is easily damaged.
Medical Saint Zhongjing wears chisels through the theoretical diagram
In the previous article, we talked about the efficacy of Guizhi soup, combined with the "wearing chiseling through the theoretical diagram" of the medical saint Zhongjing, we can get three points of information.
Guizhi soup is a prescription for the treatment of pulmonary menstrual diseases, the lungs and the large intestine are in phase, the lung meridian function is normal, which is conducive to the stability of the large intestine function;
The combination mode of "spicy + acid + sweet" of Guizhi soup can regulate liver function, so this formula can treat the imbalance of the large intestine caused by liver dysfunction;
In guizhi soup, acidic peony is not conducive to the promotion of lung qi, nor is it conducive to the rise of liver qi, which does not conform to the pathological changes of bloating after a cold, so it is necessary to remove the peony in guizhi soup.
Understanding the essence of the disease and the role of the formula, we can jump out of the shackles of bloating after the cold, and use the formula to treat the bloating of "lung qi is not declared + liver qi is not smooth", we can get the soul thought used by the prescription of the doctor.
Cold-related bloating, the essence is "lung hepatic bloating", the treatment formula is guizhi to peony soup, from the perspective of health and wellness, the lungs undergo cold and cold, especially people with bad liver, should pay attention to their gastrointestinal damage, to avoid entering the pathological stage of "chest full of bloating".
