A shelf full of grapes and a vine, full of large nets and one eye. If you don't grasp the rattan and the mesh, you won't be able to learn Chinese medicine well.
Whether it is a scrofula on the neck, a carbuncle on the breast, or a swelling and pain in the eyes, or nodules around the body, as long as the liver is depressed and the fire is turned into fire, it can be regarded as the product of liver qi stagnation.
This is how Chinese medicine understands diseases, and if you see the cause of disease, you can cure the effect of disease.
"Materia Medica" says that Prunella vulgaris treats scrofula, rat fistula, gall, symptomatic, cradle carbuncle, and milk rock.
It seems that it can manage lumps and swelling from head to toe?
Prunella vulgaris, you only need to grasp its characteristics of hard work and cold, although it has many therapeutic effects, but it is always inseparable from the four words of heat and depression liver meridian.
Prunella vulgaris is born after the winter solstice, and it withers at the summer solstice, and it is also because of the two extreme temperatures of the long cold winter and the hot summer that the prunella grass has created the aura of the prunella.
This point is also recorded in a similar document in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and the Flat Pulse Method": "The summer moon is hot, and you want to be naked, and the winter moon is cold, and you want to wear compound clothes." The colder the outside temperature, the warmer the inside temperature. Therefore, until the summer solstice, the heat energy inside the prunella grass is consumed, so it withers as soon as it reaches the summer solstice, so it has the name of prunella.
The prunella grass has pure yang energy, and it has the power of Xinsan, which can disperse knots and reduce swelling. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the knot is scattered, how to break the knot?
All kinds of swollen lumps, pungent and scattered, that is to say, Prunella vulgaris can use its mild qi to dissipate solidity and dredge stagnation.
Stagnation can be dredged, but how to dissolve these local stasis fires?
Prunella grass grows in three springs, and the air of water and wood is the most complete, because the wood is a fire order, this wood is just in the summer when the fire order, and the result is that the summer withers away, so the prunella grass can retreat the fire of the liver and gallbladder meridian.
This is the biggest feature of Prunella vulgaris, which is beyond the reach of other heat-clearing and explosive powders. While dissipating knots and reducing swelling, it can also clear away heat and sepsis and reduce the fire of stagnation. In this way, on the one hand, it dispels the qi of depression, and on the other hand, it reduces the fire of depression, so this prunella grass can treat all kinds of depression and swelling of the fire.
"The Recipe for the Living" said that the single-flavor prunella soup cures the scrofula saber, regardless of whether it has collapsed or not, or it has become a leak over time. Six taels of prunella grass, two cups of water, fry to seven minutes, go to the trickle, and eat far away. If you are weak, you should decoction thick ointment, and apply it to the affected area, and take more of it for the better.
All in all, Prunella vulgaris clears the liver and fires and disperses stagnation.
Single-flavored prunella soup
30 grams of Prunella vulgaris, 1 dose per day, decoction in water.
Or boil prunella vulgaris into a paste and take it internally, and apply the remaining plaster to the affected area, which can pull out the poison.
Prunella vulgaris is a good medicine for the temperamental, and it tastes good, not particularly bitter. You see a person who is angry, just like a rope, when the rope is twisted and knotted, there will be nodules around it that can't get through. The meridians of a person's qi will be knotted, and the knot will not pass, and after a long time, it will be a lump.
Whether it is thyroid nodules, lymph nodes, or breast nodules, as long as it is liver qi stagnation, these phlegm and fire will be knotted locally, becoming lumps, inflammation and swelling.
Because these are all products of liver qi stagnation, although the lesion location and shape are different, the essence of liver qi stagnation and fire is the same. Therefore, the use of prunella can disperse knots, bitter and slightly cold can relieve fever, so it can heal all the swollen lumps of the heat and depression of the liver meridian. With the help of it, it is good at dispersing knots and relieving fever, and the treatment is ineffective.
