Why did Li Ke Lao Chinese medicine say: If there is no curative effect on spleen and stomach diseases, please use the four reverses?
What he meant was: Anyone who has a bad spleen and stomach, if there is no curative effect after a long treatment, please use the Four Reverse Soup to regulate. Why did Li Ke say this? Because he saw that most of the physical constitution of contemporary people is due to lack of yang qi, in other words, the fire in the body is not enough, and the food cannot be digested, so it is naturally prone to problems in the spleen and stomach
For example, people with simple spleen and stomach qi deficiency use the four gentlemen's soup (Codonopsis, Poria cocos, Atractylodes, and boiled licorice) to add or subtract, and the six gentlemen soup we saw later, Buzhong Yiqi soup, Xiangsha Six Gentlemen soup, Shenling Baizhu San, etc., are all based on the four gentlemen's soup, but some people still don't get better after eating these, and the spleen and stomach are still poor, so then you have to ask for Lizhong soup
It is the Four Gentlemen's Soup to remove the Yin medicine Poria cocos, replaced with the hot medicine dried ginger, and added a fire to the body, if it still doesn't work at this time, it has to be replaced with Aconite Lizhong Tang (Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Aconite, Dried Ginger, Boiled Licorice), that is, the Four Reverse Soup (Aconite, Dried Ginger, Boiled Licorice) plus Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Atractylodes, isn't this the original intention of "please use the Four Evils"? So what if it doesn't work? You can also add Eucommia, Morinda officinalis, cinnamon and other medicines that warm and replenish the fire of life, which is equivalent to another fire.
This is also why some people find that the digestion has become faster after using the four reverse soup, in fact, the fire under the pot has become bigger, and the food in the pot has cooked faster, so people with spleen and stomach diseases mean that the heat in it is not enough, the spleen and stomach are not moving, and the food is not rotten
So you should understand why Li Ke said that the meaning of using the four reverses, but after all, everyone's physique is different, and the reasons for bad spleen and stomach are also different, so it is not recommended that you blindly follow the trend of medicine, it is best to use it under the guidance of a professional doctor.
