How can you prove that cinnamon can warm the blood and relieve pain?
There is a Chinese medicine enthusiast who ate some raw and cold melons and fruits on the day of menstruation, and immediately had abdominal pain. She just wants to get some ginger jujube tea, or aconite lizhong pills every time she has abdominal pain, and eat it, this time I have to change my tricks.
In the medicine book, it is said that Guan Guishan can adjust the air conditioner. This official cinnamon is the high-grade cinnamon, which used to be used by the emperor and officials. Since cinnamon is good at regulating all kinds of cold qi pain in the body, cold condensation and vein, why don't I get some to taste, whether it is a good medicine, whether it is a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, and you will know if you taste it.
Since we have already identified that we belong to the constitution of deficiency and cold, and the abdominal pain is aggravated by eating raw and cold, according to the principle of heat in traditional Chinese medicine, we will pound the cinnamon into a fine powder and take it with warm wine.
Strange, this medicine in the abdomen, immediately felt a ball of heating rising, just now the stomach hurt so that the hands and feet were cold, now the pain is immediately relieved, slowly the hands and feet warmed up, let out a few farts, the stomach pain is good. The use of cinnamon to treat cold pain in the abdomen is enough to prove that this cinnamon is good at regulating cold air.
This experience immediately became a little wisdom and a little trick to live at home. Because it is inevitable to drink cold and cold, it will lead to cold pain. Its practical cinnamon to treat cold pain in the abdomen has long been recorded in ancient books.
Thousands of years ago, it was mentioned in "Behind the Elbow" that to treat cold pain in the abdomen after childbirth, or blood stasis is not drained cleanly, and the pain of blockage is beaten into powder with cinnamon, and the square dagger is taken with warm wine, three times a day.
Look, it's just such a simple experience of traditional Chinese medicine, but it can help you get through the difficulties of illness at the critical moment of pain, and this kind of thing is still a common food at home, so you can't understand it!
Cinnamon is not simply a cure for abdominal pain, cinnamon warms the heart and kidneys and yang, and then can bathe the whole body and organs in the warmth of yang fire, so as not to be cold and cause pain.
Cinnamon compatibility: Xu Dachun said in "The Origin of Medicine" that "medicine has the specialty of personality, and it has the wonderful use of being gregarious". Through the compatibility of drugs, the efficacy of drugs can be enhanced, complex diseases can be treated, and toxic side effects can be reduced. Ancient physicians often used the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to use the seven emotions of medicine to make cinnamon better play its role.
Cinnamon with aconite. Cinnamon and aconite are both spicy, sweet and hot products, both of which have the functions of replenishing fire and helping yang, dissipating cold and relieving pain. The two are used to warm and support the yang qi of the whole body through the fire of the life supplement, so the evidence of yang deficiency, whether it is kidney yang deficiency, heart yang deficiency, or spleen yang deficiency, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, heart and spleen yang deficiency, or heart and kidney yang deficiency, cinnamon and aconite are often used together. The two can also lead the fire to return to the origin, and lead the fire of the dragon and thunder to dive down, without suffering from it - such as heart palpitations, toothache, facial swelling, throat paralysis, ear swelling, face redness, nasal congestion, thirst and other symptoms. Zhang Jingyue's "Materia Medica" proposed that aconite "has the power to lead fire to the original", and Guo Peilan's "Materia Medica" proposed that cinnamon can cause fire to return to the original. But aconite has the power of recovering the yang and relieving the adversity, while cinnamon cannot.
Cinnamon with dried ginger. Dried ginger and cinnamon are both spicy and hot products, both of which can be warm and cold. Dried ginger returns to the spleen, stomach, heart, and lung meridians, and cinnamon returns to the liver, kidney, heart, and spleen meridians. The action site of dried ginger is biased towards the middle and upper, and cinnamon can warm the kidneys and the fire of life. Cinnamon can be used to warm the earth, and ginger can be used to warm the spleen. Cinnamon replenishes a yang in the kankan, both water and fire, and helps the heart yang. "Yang deficiency is external cold" ("Su Wen - Regulating the Scriptures"), if the yang energy of the body is insufficient, the evil of yin and cold is more likely to invade the human body. Therefore, if you want to disperse the evil of yin and cold inside and outside, you should be accompanied by medicine to replenish fire and help yang while dissipating it. Dried ginger and cinnamon are two medicines that complement each other perfectly.
Cinnamon with coptis. Cinnamon with Coptis chinensis is the medicinal composition of Jiaotai pills. The fire of life is insufficient, and it cannot encourage the kidney to hand over to the heart, and the heart is on fire and the heart and kidney are not connected. Coptis chinensis is bitter and cold, good at clearing the heart and heat, and purging the heart's fire; Cinnamon is warm, longer than and painstaking blood, replenishing life. The combination of two medicines, cold and heat, complement each other, have the beauty of the south and the north, and the heart and kidney. The combination of the two drugs can be used to treat heart palpitations, insomnia, mouth and tongue sores caused by excessive heart fire and insufficient kidney yang.
Cinnamon with poria cocos. Cinnamon invigorates fire and yang, Poria cocos helps water to infiltrate dampness, strengthens the spleen and stops diarrhea. If Yang Qi is deficient, water will be damp, and if the water is damp and stopped, Yang Qi will be suppressed. Water dampness is yin and evil, which needs to be transformed by yang qi, and water dampness tends to decline, and it needs to be diluted and permeated. Poria cocos can penetrate water and promote yang qi, while cinnamon can dispel water and dampness. The two medicines are used to prove that yang deficiency and water stop.
