Under normal physiological conditions, the human body regulates body temperature and removes waste products from the body by sweating. However, when sweating excessively, it is necessary to regulate it in time. For this situation, there is a classic Chinese medicine prescription - Yuping Feng San, which is derived from Wei Yilin's "World Medicine Formula", and now it is also in the form of Chinese patent medicine, that is, Yuping Feng Granules.
First of all, we need to understand the causes of excessive sweating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the opening and closing of pores is governed by lung qi. When the lung qi is sufficient, the pores can open and close normally, regulate body temperature and remove sweat. However, when the lung qi is weak, the regulatory function of the pores will be affected, resulting in the pores not being able to close tightly, so that the fluid leaks out, which is manifested as excessive sweating. This state of excessive sweating may be accompanied by symptoms such as tiredness, shortness of breath, lazy speech, and can easily trigger colds.
In order to solve this problem, Jade Screen Powder achieves the therapeutic effect by replenishing qi. The basic composition of the formula includes 20 grams of astragalus, 10 grams of parsnip, and 20 grams of atractylodes. Astragalus is the main drug in the formula, which has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the surface. It mainly acts on the spleen and lungs, and by enhancing the function of lung qi, the pores can open and close normally, thereby preventing the leakage of fluid. The yellow and white color of astragalus also hints at its range of action, with the white part entering the lungs and the yellow part entering the spleen.
However, the simple use of astragalus to replenish qi may retain evil spirits, i.e., evil qi may take the opportunity to remain in the body. To avoid this, the formula is infused with windproof. Parsnip has the effect of dispelling evil spirits, which can eliminate evil qi from the body, so as to avoid the retention of evil qi. At the same time, the compatibility of parsnip and astragalus can enhance the solid effect of astragalus, make the pores more tightly closed, and prevent the leakage of jin liquid.
In addition, atractylodes is also added to the formula. Atractylodes atractylodes has the effect of strengthening the spleen, and by regulating the function of the spleen and stomach, it can further enhance the production of lung qi. The spleen is native to the lungs, and the relationship between the spleen and the lungs is that of mother and child. When the qi qi is weak, the lung qi is also affected, leading to the appearance of qi deficiency symptoms. Therefore, the spleen-strengthening effect of Atractylodes macrocephalus can indirectly enhance the function of lung qi, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect of the formula.
In addition to the above-mentioned drug effects, the spleen and stomach also have an important position as the source of qi and blood biochemistry. They are able to absorb nutrients from their food and convert them into qi and blood, providing the body with sufficient energy and nutrients. Therefore, by regulating the function of the spleen and stomach, Yuping Fengsan replenishes the body's righteous qi from the source, further enhancing the therapeutic effect of the formula.
To sum up, Jade Ping Feng San is a classic prescription for the symptoms of excessive sweating caused by qi deficiency. It can effectively improve the symptoms of hyperhidrosis and enhance the body's resistance by tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen. In practical application, we can appropriately adjust the composition and dosage of the prescription according to the specific situation and symptoms of the patient to achieve a better treatment effect.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Yue Meizhong's experience in using jade screen to disperse and solidify the surface to stop perspiration has provided us with valuable practical experience. In this case, Yue Lao accurately identified the symptoms of qi deficiency in the patient, and used Yuping Fengsan for treatment. The results showed that the patient's hyperhidrosis symptoms improved significantly after taking the prescription, proving the exact efficacy of Yuping Fengsan in the treatment of qi deficiency and hyperhidrosis.
Therefore, for those who are prone to excessive sweating, it is very beneficial to know about the classic medicine of Yu Ping Feng San. It can not only help us understand the causes and treatments of hyperhidrosis, but also provide us with an effective TCM conditioning regimen. Of course, we also need to follow the doctor's guidance and recommendations when using prescriptions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication.
