Three questions about warm bile soup

Wen Bile Soup is from the "Qianjin Fang" "After a serious illness, the fatigue can not sleep, this fear is also, it is advisable to take this side (Wen Bile Soup)", which is included by Sun Simiao from the "Collection of Examination Formulas" by the famous doctor Yao Shengyuan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and is composed of "Half Summer, Bamboo Ru, Citrus Fruit, Orange Peel, Licorice, Ginger", which is widely used in clinical disciplines.

There are three difficult problems in the current research on this side.

First, is the warm bile soup cold or hot? The formula is called "warm bile", and modern generally believes that the effect of this party is to clear the phlegm heat, clear the bile and stomach, and its effect is regarded as a heat clearing sputum agent. However, from the perspective of medicinal taste composition, half summer, orange peel, ginger is warm, citrus fruit, bamboo ru is cold, warm medicine is more than cold medicine; and then from the dose of the drug, the amount of ginger is much greater than that of bamboo ru, citrus fruit, so the party should be warm, not cold.

The second is that the party is called to treat "bile" caused by "fatigue and sleeplessness", since it is a certificate of bile, it should be warmed, why use bamboo ru to clear heat and dissolve phlegm? Bamboo Ru is a drug to clear heat and dissolve phlegm, citrus fruit is also cool, using two cold drugs, so that future generations argue endlessly.

Third, the party was originally a proof of "fear", but what is the logical relationship between "fear" and "sleeplessness"? We often say that the cowardly lord is determined, and the sleep disorder caused by the fearfulness makes future generations puzzled. Even if bile causes sleep disorders, the half-summer, orange peel, ginger, and licorice used are used to treat the spleen and stomach cold and wet, and citrus aurantium and bamboo ru are sputum fever, which are not drugs for treating bile. This is also where the academic community argues endlessly.

Nevertheless, it does not affect the clinical application of this ancient recipe. Warm bile soup can be widely used in clinical departments, and visible phlegm and invisible phlegm are afraid of it.
