There are two very special prescriptions in the theory of typhoid fever, which can be said to be the only two prescriptions for the treatment of deficiency, one is Xiao Jianzhong soup, which treats the spleen and stomach, and the other is the moxibustion licorice soup to be shared today, which specializes in treating heart deficiency.
Since it is a deficiency disease, it is also divided into yin and yang, and moxibustion licorice soup is a representative prescription for treating the deficiency of yin and yang in the heart. In the treatise on typhoid fever, it is said that typhoid fever, pulse formation, palpitations, moxibustion licorice soup is the master. Those who don't understand Chinese medicine may not understand it, and the palpitations here are symptoms, that is, the person has symptoms such as rapid and strong heartbeat, panic, fear, and precordial area. Pulse knotting, in fact, is talking about irregular heartbeat, there is no regularity in pulse beating, jumping two, three, or more than a dozen times to stop, just like a knot on a rope, there is no fixed distance between knots.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is the main blood, and it is normal for you not to feel the heartbeat, but if you feel the heartbeat is strong, this is palpitation. Why is this happening? Because of the evil qi and the evil qi entering the body, the heart qi and yin blood are insufficient, and the meridians cannot be nourished, and the heart is not nourished by yin and yang.
Therefore, as long as it is a case of pulse formation and palpitations, the representative prescription is moxibustion licorice soup, a total of nine flavors, moxibustion licorice, ginger, cinnamon branches, ginseng, rehmannia root, ejiao, maimendong, hemp seeds, jujube. Looking at the composition of this recipe, it is all sweet medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine says that sweet and light into the spleen is mainly based on tonics, especially tonic zhongqi, why? Because the spleen and stomach can biochemical qi and blood, and when the blood is sufficient, the blood and qi will be there. Rehmannia nourishes yin and nourishes blood, moxibustion licorice, ginseng, and jujube nourish qi, and ejiao, wheat winter, and hemp seeds nourish heart and yin, nourish heart and blood, and fill blood vessels. But the blood is yin, and it also needs yang to mutualize, so add cinnamon branches, ginger to Xuanyang and turn yin, and cinnamon branches and licorice can be sweet and yang, have the effect of warming the heart and yang, and the effect of clearing the blood and veins. The combination of various medicines, nourishing but not greasy, warm but not dry, yin and blood feet, yang energy, yin and yang harmony, then heart palpitations, pulse generation, all get its peace.
In terms of syndrome differentiation, moxibustion licorice decoction is not necessarily used for pulse knots, but palpitations caused by insufficient blood to nourish the heart are deficiency diseases, so moxibustion licorice decoction must be used. In addition, after eating this recipe, there will be swollen legs and face, as well as diarrhea, because there are more yin nourishing medicines, so you can add schisandra to the recipe, and the effect will be better.
