Crane grass, this flavor of traditional Chinese medicine, as its name suggests, is like a visitor from outside the world, but its essence is unusually down-to-earth, inexpensive, and practical. In the world of traditional Chinese medicine, it has a wide range of applications, especially in the area of qi replenishment and blood intake. So, what is "replenishing qi and taking blood, so that qi and blood do not move rashly"? In short, it means that the crane grass can help the body stabilize the qi and blood and prevent it from being lost or over-exercising for no reason.
Let's take a closer look at this concept through a specific medical case. The main character of the story is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who is troubled by bleeding gums that bleed every time she brushes her teeth. After a preliminary diagnosis, the doctor believed that her main problem was the lack of qi and blood, and she could not effectively take blood, which led to the blood being easy to act arbitrarily. Therefore, she was prescribed a spleen soup.
Gui Spleen Soup, an ancient recipe that has been trusted since the Song Dynasty, is mainly used to replenish qi and nourish the blood, guide the blood back to the spleen, and prevent it from overflowing. The medicinal materials in the formula, such as atractylodes, angelica, white poria, etc., are all good products for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. According to the symptoms of the little girl, such as dizziness and fatigue, palpitations, and a slightly yellow complexion, the doctor thought that Gui Spleen Tang was the right medicine.
However, after one course of treatment, the girl's symptoms did not improve significantly. So, another doctor was invited. After carefully reviewing the previous prescription, the doctor decided that the original prescription was not a major problem, but needed to be slightly adjusted. His adjustment method was to add a Crane Grass to the original recipe.
Crane grass has a peaceful nature and diverse functions, the most famous of which is its effect of replenishing qi and taking blood. Adding Xianhe grass on the basis of Gui Spleen Decoction can further enhance its function of controlling qi and blood, so that qi and blood can better return to the spleen, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect. The little girl continued the treatment according to the new prescription, and after a course of treatment, the problem of bleeding gums was effectively solved.
This medical case provides us with a valuable experience: when dealing with bleeding diseases, such as bleeding gums, nosebleeds, coughing up blood, etc., as well as common symptoms such as menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation and even leakage in women, if it is caused by insufficient qi and blood, we can add Xianhe grass on the basis of Gui Spleen Tang to enhance its effect of replenishing qi and blood absorption, so as to improve the treatment effect.
Nowadays, with the acceleration of the pace of life, many people are more inclined to choose Chinese patent medicine rather than traditional decoction. This undoubtedly gives us more options. The form of Chinese patent medicine of Gui Spleen Tang is Gui Spleen Pill, while Bu Zhong Yi Qi Pill is a Chinese patent medicine with qi tonifying as its main effect. When we take these medications, we can consider taking them with boiled water to enhance their efficacy.
Specifically, if blood deficiency is the main symptom, showing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue, palpitations, and yellowish complexion, we can choose to take Gui Spleen Pills. On the basis of Gui Spleen Pill, boiling water with Xianhe grass can further strengthen its effect of replenishing qi and blood intake, so that qi and blood can better return to the spleen.
If it is mainly qi deficiency, manifested by lazy speech, shortness of breath and fatigue, lower abdomen distension and other symptoms, we can choose to take Buzhong Yiqi pills. The Qi tonifying effect of Buzhong Yiqi Pill is particularly prominent, which can help restore the body's qi strength. Similarly, when taking Buzhong Yiqi Pills, boiling water with Crane Grass can enhance its effect on consolidating qi and blood, so that qi and blood can be better raised and stabilized.
In addition, crane grass can also be matched with jade screen particles. The effect of jade screen granules on fixing the surface and stopping perspiration is very significant, and for people who sweat excessively, long-term use can reduce the loss of sweat. Sweat and blood have the same origin and same root in traditional Chinese medicine, and excessive sweating can also damage the blood. Therefore, when taking jade screen granules, boiling water with crane grass can not only enhance the effect of fixing the surface and stopping perspiration, but also prevent blood deficiency caused by excessive sweating.
To sum up, the Chinese medicine of Xianhe grass has a unique effect in replenishing qi and taking blood. It can not only be combined with traditional decoctions such as Gui Spleen Tang and Buzhong Yiqi Pills to enhance the therapeutic effect, but also can be combined with Chinese patent medicines such as Gui Spleen Pills, Buzhong Yiqi Pills, and Yuping Feng Granules to make them play a better role. When using these proprietary Chinese medicines, we can boil water with crane grass and take it according to the specific dosage of individual circumstances and doctor's advice. Generally speaking, the dosage of crane grass can be between 10-30 grams, and it should be adjusted according to the condition and physique.
