Hello everyone, today to talk about the "White Tiger Soup" of "Typhoid Fever", the ancient mainland had four gods - Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, embodied in Chinese medicine have corresponding formulas, earlier we said the big and small Qinglong soup, then what is the meaning of White Tiger Soup? Wang Mengying said, "The White Tiger, the Golden God of the West, and the Yin Beast of Si Qiu." The wind in the Tiger Howling Valley is cold, the cool breeze is extremely hot, and the god is relieved of heat, like a white tiger." Putting aside this myth and legend, consider that Zhang Zhongjing named "White Tiger Soup" at that time because the main medicine gypsum was white in color and the power of heat was as fast as a tiger.
First look at the prescription, 50 grams of plaster, 18 grams of Zhimu, 9 grams of japonica rice, 6 grams of hot licorice, on the four flavors, rice cooked, soup is ready, warm three times a day. This japonica rice was said to be the seed kernel of rice in ancient times, and now it is enough to use white rice. Although this prescription medicine has four tastes, it is called the ancestral formula of clear heat by later generations, and the effect of clearing heat and diarrhea and removing annoyance is very strong, and the opportunity to use it according to this amount in modern times is very small, because now the high fever sweat is sent to the emergency department, and general diseases cannot use this amount, so there are many formulas tailored according to this formula.
Zhongjing uses white tiger tang and ginseng to benefit qi and vitality, that is, white tiger plus ginseng soup, to treat Yang Ming's evidence of heat and yin injury gas consumption; white tiger tang plus guizhi and camp guards, tongluo pain relief, that is, white tiger plus guizhi soup, treatment of warm malaria body hot bone joint pain, rheumatic fever fever; "Taiping Shenghuifang" with white tiger soup to japonica rice, plus ge root, ephedra to sweat to solve the table, the name of white tiger plus kudzu soup, treatment of typhoid headache, bone joint pain, dry mouth and thirst; "Book of Living People" with white tiger tang plus cangshu dry wet and middle, the name white tiger plus cangshu soup, Treatment of damp fever fever and heat sandwich damp evidence; "This Matter is Difficult to Know" with white tiger soup plus gardenia to clear the heart, the name of white tiger plus gardenia soup, the treatment of old, young, and imaginary people typhoid fever for five or six days, fainting, or sleepless; "Cure diarrhea South Needle" with white tiger soup combined with six one scatter to clear the summer and dampness, the name white tiger combined with six one scatter, the treatment of summer cholera, hot limbs, sweat and thirst, short urine. "Wen Disease Article Identification" uses white tiger soup plus rhinoceros horn and Xuan Ginseng cold blood to detoxify the rash, so that the agent of the great Qingyang Ming Qi heat becomes the formula of the two clear qi camps, the name of the spot soup, the treatment of warm disease and false sweating, hot into the gas camp, the gods are dizzy, and the spots are hairy; "Re-ordering the Popular Typhoid Fever Theory" uses the white tiger soup to combine the stomach gas soup, a clear stomach heat, a diarrhea stomach real, the name of the white tiger gas soup, the treatment of the stomach fire is blazing, the liquid is dry and the evidence is closed.
White Tiger Soup is mainly used for the treatment of typhoid fever Yang Ming Fever Sheng Or Warm Disease Qi Heat Sheng. See the four major symptoms of Yangming fever - body fever, sweating, thirst, pulse flood as the main points of dialectics, as well as redness and irritability, malignant heat, pulse slip and so on. Equivalent to modern infectious diseases, such as lobar pneumonia, Japanese encephalitis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, measles, gingivitis and other evidence of gas heat, can also be used for diabetes, senile serostomerosis, stroke, sepsis, rheumatic myocarditis, pediatric herpetic stomatitis, dengue fever, rheumatoid arthritis, unexplained high fever and other dialectical diseases that belong to the heat of the blazing.
The evil qi of this testimony is separated from the surface and enters, and the evil is not on the surface, so it must not sweat; the heat is hot but not constipated, and it is not suitable to attack. The invisible heat can only be greatly cleared, so this side is the representative party, the basic party, and the commonly used party of the Qing law. However, if the heat is full of wounds, it is not advisable to use bitter cold to fold directly, for fear of hurting and drying. Therefore, the use of the cold gypsum to clear the heat of the lungs and stomach and remove the annoyance, gypsum xingan cold, external can relieve the heat of the skin, the inside can clear the lungs and stomach fire as a medicine; the mother of bitter cold moisturizing, Yiyin clear heat quenching thirst for the medicine. Japonica rice, licorice and stomach protection, slow plaster, zhimu bitter cold heavy descent, but also to prevent the drawbacks of cold and cold injuries, and so that the medicinal qi remains in the stomach, better function, a total of adjuvant. When all medicines are matched, heat is cleared and annoyed, and thirst is quenched, then fever, thirst, sweating, pulse flooding and other diseases are self-resolved.
The "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" points out: "Typhoid fever is floating, fever is sweatless, and those who are incomprehensible should not be mixed with white tiger soup." "When the evidence is not solved, the evil is not spread, and the four major symptoms of YangMing do not appear, it should not be applied." The "Wen Disease Article Identification" clearly puts forward the four major contraindications to the application of white tiger soup: (1) Those whose pulse is floating and thin, cannot be with it. (2) Those whose veins are sinking, cannot be with them. (3) Those who are not thirsty, do not be with them. (4) Those who do not sweat, can not be with also. The first two points are particularly important. Yin Sheng Ge Yang, manifested as true winter and false heat, is also banned.
Most of the ancient and modern doctors for the amount of plaster are larger, "Wu Ju Tong Medical Case" there is a certificate of raw gypsum used to dozens of pounds, modern to according to the condition, age, physique, season, etc., consider the amount of use of gypsum, should not be too large, should not be too small, generally each dose in 30 ~ 120g is appropriate. Zhang Xichun advocated replacing japonica rice in white tiger soup with yam, believing that "replacing japonica rice with raw yam, the more secure the formula, the faster the effect." Cover japonica rice does not reconcile the stomach qi, and yam can also fix the scorched qi, so that those who are weak in yuan qi will not have slippery diarrhea because of taking plaster and knowing their mother." This theory is not unreasonable and can be used as a clinical reference.
Finally, the characteristics of the "White Tiger Soup" are reviewed:
(1) It is to take the gypsum of the bitter cold and the bitter cold to match the mother, and the monarch and the subject must be matched, so that the power of clearing heat and vitality is multiplied.
(2) It is a cold plaster cast, and the licorice and japonica rice that nourish the stomach with the mother of Zhimu are used to prevent cold and cold from hurting the stomach, so that the evil spirit is dispelled without harming the right. Although the medicine has four tastes, the work of clearing heat and rejuvenating is very remarkable, and it is actually a good agent for curing qi and dividing heat.
