Many patients come to me often and get to know each other better, and they ask me why I always feel as if I am just prescribing a few prescriptions over and over again. I said, they feel right, and I only use a few prescriptions.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a compound formula, rather than a relatively pure chemical formula, Western medicine can also treat several different diseases, compound Chinese medicine, its range of treatment is naturally wider.
Just like Guifu Rehmannia Pill, you see when it is used: where the back pain is soft and the feet are soft, the lower body often has a cold feeling, the abdomen is less urgent, the urination is not good or the urine is too much, the tongue is light and fat, and the moss is thin and white and not dry, you can use the Guifu Rehmannia Pill. That's when this recipe should appear.
What is the timing? The timing is that Zhuge Liang fights, sets up a formation, and then explains left and right, when you see Sima Yi passing the stone, he will set out according to my arrangement, this is called timing. The timing of the use of each prescription is also the same, before and after each prescription, it will be said that when the patient has such and such symptoms, such and such a prescription can be used, this is the timing.
When the time comes, there will be no more to hold on to what disease the patient has, maybe this patient is heart disease, that patient is diabetes, and another patient is liver blood insufficiency, as long as there is an opportunity to use Guifu Dihuang pills, then prescribe this prescription to the patient, so people who are familiar with Chinese medicine know that it may often be used to treat colds, sometimes used to treat tumors or heart disease, it will have a good effect, which is called encountering the timing of its use.
I can't use it, just like what many people have seen on the Internet, Guifu Dihuang Pill treats kidney deficiency, Magnolia Banxia soup can relieve cough and reduce phlegm, and then see that I seem to have the same symptoms, so I bought it back and ate it, but finally found that it didn't get better after eating it for a long time.
I often say that the treatment of diseases in Chinese medicine is like fighting a war, each medicine is the soldier in his hand, and all kinds of prescriptions are all kinds of military formations that have been developed and perfected since ancient times.
That's why I often only use a few formulas? That is, in the process of using them, I constantly deepen my grasp of the timing of each formula, just like fighting a war, fighting more and winning less is not a skill, and fighting less and more can still win, that is powerful.
The reason why many people in the history of Chinese medicine have various nicknames, such as Li Fuzi, Wang Chaihu, Huang Chaihu, Jiang Danshen and the like, is because they have a thorough understanding of a certain recipe or a certain flavor medicine, and can use a certain flavor medicine to produce effects that others cannot use. Just like martial arts, it is also a point point, if you learn generally, you must meet people, and if you learn well, you can hit the acupoint in the air, he may not learn more, but he must learn more finely.
