Many patients asked, "Why did I use Jiaotai pills instead of having a good effect, but worsening them?"
First of all, let's take a good look at the medicine of Jiaotai pill, it only has two flavors, one is Coptis chinensis and one cinnamon, among which Coptis is cold and cold, and is good at clearing the heart and fire; Cinnamon is warm and warm, and is good at warming and replenishing the fire of the life, and can lead the fire to return to the source, they can regulate the mouth ulcers, swollen and painful gums, upset and insomnia caused by heat and cold, cold hands and feet, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, frequent urination and urgency. So why is it useless?
According to my clinical observations, it is mostly because you have neglected these two points:
First, it is the stagnation of liver qi, which leads to the upper heat and lower cold caused by the blockage of the middle focus
The liver is the main drainage, in charge of the operation of the body's qi, and the liver belongs to the middle coke, so once the liver qi is stagnant, the qi is not smooth, resulting in the blockage of the middle coke, there will be the fire above and the water below does not go, forming a situation of heat on the top and cold on the bottom; in addition to the above symptoms, such people will also be accompanied by flank distension pain, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, dry mouth and bitter mouth, loss of appetite, etc., the tongue image shows that the tip of the tongue is red, the root of the tongue is white, and both sides of the tongue are swollen
If it is caused by liver depression, then it is of course useless for you to use Jiaotai pills, the correct way should be to first soothe the liver, restore normal qi first, and then communicate the heart and kidneys
The second is the situation of heat at the top and cold at the bottom, accompanied by spleen deficiency and phlegm and dampness
Traditional Chinese medicine says that phlegm is damp and sticky, which is easy to hinder the operation of qi, so once the spleen is deficient and phlegm is heavy, resulting in the spleen qi not rising, and the stomach qi not falling, then the heart fire will not be able to fall, and the kidney water will not be able to rise, thus forming upper heat and lower cold;
In the same way, you can't use Jiaotai pills, you have to first strengthen the spleen and dispel phlegm and dampness, such as first referring to Liujunzi soup to regulate, and then referring to Jiaotai pills
In short, not all the upper heat and lower cold can be used Jiaotai pills, and traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation treatment, if you are not sure, it is best not to blindly follow the trend of medicine, if you feel unwell, please seek medical attention offline in time, we will see you next time.
