Xiao Ming is a college student who usually likes to play basketball, and once accidentally fell on the court, and a large piece of skin was scraped on his knee, and blood flowed. When his teammates saw it, they quickly took out a small bottle and said that it was an ancient gold sore medicine and asked him to try it. After Xiao Ming used it, he felt that the wound was no longer bleeding and not so painful.
He decided to look it up online when he went back and see if he could find some information about gold sore medicine. It turns out that the raw materials of this medicine are not only precious, but also dangerous and potentially fatal.
So, what exactly is the gold sore medicine made of, and why did it disappear later? Let's take a look.
1. The origin and composition of gold sore medicine
Gold sore medicine is an ancient external medicine, mainly used to treat knife wounds, gunshot wounds and other external injuries, has a strong hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effect, is a necessary medicine on the battlefield. The origin of gold sore medicine can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the weapons were mainly cold weapons, and wars were frequent, and soldiers often suffered various external injuries and needed a drug that could quickly stop bleeding.
According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the earliest gold sore medicine was made by mixing fresh horse blood with herbs such as Coptis chinensis and skullcap, and later added minerals such as arsenic, realgar, and cinnabar to increase the medicinal power.
The production method of gold sore medicine is to grind various raw materials into fine powder in a certain proportion, and then mix it into a paste with fresh horse blood or other animal blood, and then dry it in the sun, and finally cut it into small pieces or kneaded into pills, and store it in a bottle or cloth bag.
The use of gold sore medicine is to apply the medicine to the wound, then wrap it with gauze or cloth strips, and usually change the dressing once a day until the wound heals.
Second, the principle and effect of gold sore medicine
The main reason why gold sore medicine can stop bleeding is because it contains a substance called arsenic, arsenic is a mineral that contains arsenic, which has a strong astringent effect, which can make blood vessels constrict and reduce blood outflow. At the same time, arsenic also has a bactericidal effect, which can prevent wound infection and promote wound healing.
In addition to arsenic, there are some other ingredients in gold sore medicine, such as realgar, cinnabar, etc., which also have certain hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects, while herbs such as Coptis chinensis and skullcap can clear away heat and detoxify and balance medicinal properties. The effect of gold sore medicine is obvious, and many ancient medical books and history books have recorded that gold sore medicine can heal all kinds of external injuries and even save some dying wounded.
It can be seen that gold sore medicine is a very precious medicine in ancient times, which can save people in danger.
3. The harm and disappearance of gold sore medicine
Although gold sore medicine has strong hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects, it is also very harmful and may even be fatal.
This is because the arsenic, realgar, cinnabar and other substances in the gold sore medicine all contain an element called arsenic, arsenic is a toxic heavy metal, if it enters the human body for a long time or in large quantities, it will cause arsenic poisoning, causing various serious symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, neuropathy, skin damage, liver and kidney failure, cancer, etc., and even lead to death.
Moreover, the treatment of arsenic poisoning is very difficult, there is no specific antidote, and the toxicity can only be reduced by excretion, chelation, hemodialysis and other methods, but the effect is limited. Therefore, although gold sore medicine can stop bleeding, it may also kill.
So why did people in ancient times use this poisonous drug? Mainly because they didn't know enough about the toxicity of arsenic, or because they didn't care about the consequences for emergency relief. In ancient times, the level of medicine was limited, and there was a lack of in-depth research on the chemical properties and biological effects of arsenic, and it was only known that it had astringent and bactericidal effects, but it was not known that it was highly toxic and carcinogenic.
On the other hand, in ancient times, wars were frequent, there were many wounded, and a drug that could quickly stop bleeding was needed, and gold sore medicine became an emergency option, even if there were some side effects, it was better than bleeding to death. Therefore, the gold sore medicine has been circulated in ancient times and is regarded as a miracle medicine, and some people even regard it as a longevity elixir and unknowingly fall into arsenic poisoning.
With the development of the times and the progress of science, people have a deeper understanding of the toxicity of arsenic, and more drugs to stop bleeding and anti-inflammatory have been discovered.
Nowadays, gold sore medicine is rare, and only some of the older generation still have it, or some people who are interested in ancient medicine still study it.
However, the story of gold sore medicine is still very meaningful, it tells us that medicine is a science that is constantly evolving, and we must treat it with a scientific attitude, both respecting the wisdom of antiquity and being wary of ancient mistakes, so that we can truly achieve the goal of health.
Epilogue:
Golden sore medicine is an ancient hemostatic medicine, it has a long history and miraculous effects, but it also has great harm and tragic ending. It reflects the development and limitations of ancient medicine, and also inspires us to think and explore modern medicine.
We should learn a lesson from the story of gold sore medicine, not blindly believe in or reject any kind of drug, but use scientific methods to verify and evaluate it, find out its advantages and disadvantages, and use and improve it rationally to make it better serve human health.
