Shenling Baizhu San, many people are familiar with it only as a dampness dispel. Fans who often pay attention to the popularization of Chinese medicine may see some articles, such as some tongue diagnosis analysis, often saying that this can't be used, that can't be used, and it feels like this medicine is useless, if you understand it this way, it is very wrong.
In fact, Shenling Baizhu San, as a thousand-year-old prescription, is not only particularly commonly used in clinical practice, but also good for strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness, and can also manage many diseases. For its usefulness, the medical book says that it treats weakness of the spleen and stomach, inability to eat and drink, more swallowing and less strength, choking, palpitations, asthma, vomiting and diarrhea, etc. There are also records that can be treated: stomach deficiency and wheezing, untruthful stool. To put it simply, it means that the spleen and stomach are weak, the appetite is not good, the abdominal distension, diarrhea, the stool is not formed, and the asthma and cough caused by the spleen and stomach deficiency can be regulated.
To see this recipe, there are three characteristics, one is to dilute the dampness, and treat both the deficiency and the real; the second is to nourish the lung qi and cultivate the local gold; the third is to be sweet and gentle, and to replenish and laxative. Therefore, it is often used clinically to regulate diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency, lung qi deficiency caused by spleen deficiency, and a variety of chronic diseases caused by spleen and stomach disorders.
The first is to dispel dampness and treat diarrhea. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the root of diarrhea is all due to the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are weak, the function of transport and lifting is out of balance, and the water and dampness will accumulate in the body and trap the spleen and stomach, which will lead to frequent diarrhea, accompanied by abdominal distension and abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The spleen and stomach have been weak for a long time, it is easy to consume qi, water dampness and spleen qi deficiency, people will not diarrhea more severely, that recipe in ginseng, atractylodes, poria cocos, moxibustion licorice together is the four gentlemen's soup, but the first party to replenish qi, some people who have been weak and sick for a long time, the old doctor will use some ginseng at the beginning, which is used to straighten up, and the righteousness is strong, and the resistance to evil will not have strength.
The second is to cultivate Tusheng gold to cure lung qi deficiency. Patients with lung qi deficiency usually present with chest tightness and shortness of breath, fatigue, poor spirits, frequent night sweats, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, etc. If the spleen and stomach are weak and water drinking stops, resulting in the loss of turbidity, the dampness will condense into phlegm in the lungs, resulting in chest tightness, wheezing, coughing and phlegm. Traditional Chinese medicine has a treatment method of "cultivating soil and producing gold", which is to benefit the lungs by tonifying the spleen, and the standard prescription is Shenling Baizhu San. If you cough for a long time, the phlegm coughed up is relatively thin, accompanied by loss of appetite, loose stools, fatigue, weak tongue, etc., you can refer to Shenling Baizhu Powder plus or minus conditioning.
The third is various chronic diseases caused by spleen deficiency. This point may not be easy for ordinary people to understand, but in fact, the direction of this prescription is related. For example, many patients with chronic diseases will have the problem of lack of qi and blood, the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the lungs are the main qi. In addition, many chronic diseases have the problem of water metabolism, which can dispel dampness and improve water, and can also be regulated; and traditional Chinese medicine often says that strange diseases have phlegm, phlegm is yin and evil, and the spleen gives birth to lung storage, so if you strengthen the spleen and benefit the lungs, can you regulate this kind of chronic disease? In addition, there are many chronic diseases caused by spleen and yin deficiency, qi imbalance, and abnormal rise and fall, which can be treated with Shenling Baizhu San.
Therefore, no matter what kind of disease or symptoms, as long as it is in line with the core pathogenesis of spleen deficiency, it can be treated with this prescription or with this prescription. In addition, this medicine is sweet and calm, warm but not dry, and does not stagnate for deficiency, especially suitable for patients with deficiency, the elderly and children.
