Today I will talk to you about the flavor of rhubarb.
rheum
Chinese medicine rhubarb should be regarded as the earliest Chinese medicine I know in my memory, at that time should be in the third or fourth grade, often in the corners of the lips ulcers, and I like to use my tongue to lick so it gets bigger and bigger, and finally the mouth is restricted, eat a little sour and spicy touch the ulcer that kind of sour pain is still unforgettable, at this time my mother let me drink the yellow potion, soaked in water rhubarb to get the solution, the taste is not very bitter or can be drunk, drink a day or two obviously the ulcer is not painful, slowly scab healing and falling off.
At that time, I didn't have any knowledge of medicine and pharmacy, so I listened to my mother because of the pain at the corner of my mouth, and then I learned about the role of rhubarb after studying Chinese medicine in college, and I knew why drinking rhubarb water for this ulcer was useful. However, the hometown calls rhubarb a big (dai) yellow.
Rhubarb, a traditional Chinese medicine, has always been mixed, and the doctors who think it is good can bring forth the new by saying that the rhubarb is chasing the stasis, and the doctors who think that the big bad ones say that the rhubarb is too strong to hurt people's righteousness. Because it is too strong, it causes people to misunderstand it, and there are remarks such as "rhubarb saves people without success, and ginseng kills people without fault". The drug itself is not good or bad, it all depends on how the doctor uses it.
Rhubarb is also known as "General", and its strength is mostly used for real heat problems, so it is given such a title. Rhubarb has a wide range of effects, and can be used in combination with various problems such as real heat, heat toxicity, blood stasis, stagnation, stones, jaundice, etc., and I will talk to you in detail about the use of this flavor of traditional Chinese medicine:
Promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis
Rhubarb into the blood, "Shennong's Materia Medica" records that the main blood stasis, for all kinds of blood stasis, both old and new can be used, such as the famous rhubarb stinging pills, for the appearance of blood tuberculosis dark eyes, skin nails are often used with peach kernels, peach kernels are originally blood stasis medicine to increase rhubarb for blood stasis problems.

Rhubarb is a well-known role in arrogance and accumulation, many people with constipation will always choose rhubarb or senna to soak in water to drink, rhubarb can solve the problem of constipation in stool, but it is necessary to distinguish between cold and heat, and rhubarb can be used for constipation caused by real heat, although it can also be used if it is caused by real cold or deficiency cold, but it needs to be compatible with warm medicine to restrict its cold nature and prevent excessive injury to the spleen, gastrointestinal tract, yang qi and aggravation of constipation.
Constipation caused by real heat has these characteristics, constipation and dryness, accompanied by upset and thirst, like to drink water, especially cold water, yellow urine and other characteristics, constipation caused by real heat and dry knotsRhubarb is often combined with Chinese medicine such as miscanthus salt, magnolia bark and other traditional Chinese medicine to reduce gastrointestinal heat and dryness.
Expel fire and cool blood
Rhubarb is bitter and cold, and the bitter taste can be lowered, so rhubarb has the effect of making the fire of inflammation leak down, and the characteristics of fire are inflammatory, which is easy to cause various sores and ulcers, swelling and poison, so the symptoms of fire are often manifested in the head and facial features, such as mouth ulcers, red and swollen eyes, sore throat, dry mouth, facial acne, etc.
Rhubarb diarrhea is aimed at the symptoms similar to inflammation caused by real heat, which is why when I was a child, I was on fire, and the ulcers at the corners of my mouth were effective by drinking rhubarb aqueous solution.
As for cooling blood, it is because rhubarb can stop bleeding and is used for bleeding problems caused by blood fever, and rhubarb can cool blood and stop bleeding. Blood fever leads to accelerated blood and breaks through the veins to bleed, this kind of blood fever and rhubarb can be used to clear heat and cool blood and stop bleeding.
Clears away dampness and heat
Damp heat is a pathogenic factor in traditional Chinese medicine, and its own dampness is yin and evil and hurts people's yang, but dampness and evil will prevent the operation of the qi machine over time, prevent the heat from growing over time, and finally the dampness and heat coexist.
If you suffer from dampness and heat, you will have a greasy face, acne, unpleasant stool and burning anus, yellow and dripping urine, bitter mouth and bad breath and sticky body. Damp heat in the body of the liver and gallbladder affects bile secretion and jaundice. Damp heat in the internal organs, hot scorching fluid and finally into stones.
Rhubarb is good, fast and good at walking, directly to the lower coke, can urinate and benefit dampness and heat, for jaundice caused by damp heat, it can be matched with Wu Yin Chen Ruyin Chen Hao soup. The stones caused by heat burning jin are compatible with desmodium, stone reed, diuretic and draining stones.

Rhubarb summarizes its efficacy, purging down and accumulating, chasing stasis and clearing the veins, clearing heat and purging fire, detoxifying and cooling blood, so it is a good medicine to use rhubarb correctly.
For constipation, it is also necessary to distinguish between cold and heat, because of constipation caused by deficiency of cold, spleen deficiency, qi deficiency, etc., rhubarb needs to be used as appropriate, or combined with other drugs to restrict the use of cold.
The same is true for fire, real fire rhubarb can clear heat and expel fire, virtual fire needs to be ignited and returned to the source and clear the fire, and the rhubarb used for false fire can only have quick effect and cannot cure the root cause.
