There is a lady whose lips are very dry all year round, especially in autumn and winter, which is more serious, as long as the lips open and close too much or laugh when speaking, they will crack and bleed. Over the years, she drank water and applied lip mask every day, and later heard that it was yin deficiency, and she also used a lot of yin-nourishing drugs, but it still didn't help.
First of all, this kind of dryness cannot be alleviated by drinking more water, because what the human body lacks at this time is not water, but jin liquid.
What is Jin liquid? Jin liquid is a general term for all normal water in the body, they are like rivers, lakes and seas, spreading in every corner of the body, moisturizing our eyes, mouth, nose, moisturizing our skin and internal organs.
Therefore, jin liquid is very useful for the human body.
However, this kind of thing is also very easy to wear, such as sweating, many people have had such an experience, after sweating, they will feel tired, no strength, this is sweating too much, hurting Jin is exhausted; When the jin liquid in the body is not enough, you must first tighten the internal organs to supply, there is no excessive jin liquid to moisturize and irrigate other parts of the body, so there will be dry mouth, dry eyes, dry nose, dry throat, dry skin and other symptoms.
The lady also used a lot of yin-nourishing drugs, why did it not work?
This is because the gasification function in the abdomen is insufficient. At this time, if you blindly nourish the yin, it is like sprinkling water on ice, sprinkling a layer of water, forming a layer of ice, the jin liquid cannot be vaporized, and naturally there is no way to moisturize and dry. In other words, the jin liquid that was replenished was not well utilized.
Then the problem comes again, the heart has a heart yin, the kidney has a kidney yin, the lungs have a lung yin, the liver has a liver yin, the spleen has a spleen yin, where should it be supplemented first?
Of course, it is a spleen supplement. The spleen and stomach belong to the soil, native to all things, and the water we drink can only become the liquid needed by the body under the action of the spleen and stomach.
There is a small formula to dispel dryness, only two herbs, yam and astragalus.
These two flavors of medicinal chemical cut from Zhang Xichun's jade liquid soup, jade liquid soup is the treatment of thirst-quenching fangzi, Zhang Xichun believes that the reason why people are thirsty, not because the body lacks water, but because the body is not enough gas, the water is not vaporized, once this layer of window paper is broken, the treatment method will also come out, the jade liquid soup This formula, yam and astragalus is indispensable.
Let's start with the yam.
The most adept doctors in history who use yams are Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Xichun. Zhang Xichun's preference for yam is because it is a must as food and medicine, can be steamed, stewed and fried, and the key is that it can also cure diseases.
Yam grows in the soil, the plants that grow in the soil, the soil itself is also very strong, the roots of the yam are long, desperately drilling into the soil, digging the yam knows, sometimes a vine dug down, can be several meters long. This drilling force of yam can absorb the essence around it, so there is a saying that yam is the essence of the land, and the soil is thick, and the earth qi in people is the spleen and stomach qi. This is how yam can replenish the spleen.
While the yam tonifies the spleen, it can also carry a belt to supplement the lungs, because it is white, where does the color white enter? into the lungs. The lungs are mainly watered and are responsible for infusing the jin fluid in the body to the whole body. Therefore, yam is a spleen and lung and supplement, and it has a lot of juice itself, on the one hand, it can nourish the spleen and lung yin fluid, on the other hand, it can strengthen the function of spleen and stomach biochemical jin liquid qi and blood.
Let's look at astragalus again.
Astragalus can replenish the qi of the body, mainly to supplement the temper. Astragalus replenishes qi and rises the sun, which can make the spleen transported, and once the spleen is transported, the water wet jin liquid can be vaporized upwards.
All in all, yam, biased to tonify the yin; Astragalus, partial to supplement the yang, the two cooperate, this is the balance of yin and yang.
Finally I wrote down this formula: yam 9 grams, astragalus 6 grams, if you want in the next few days, do not dry mouth and nose, do not swallow dry thirst, do not dry skin, then use these two herbs, water to fry the offspring tea.
