Aconite, known as the "King of Fuyang", can be described as "fairy grass in the world". Aconite is the length of a hundred medicines, and it is hot and hot, and it passes through the twelve meridians. The medicinal properties are rigid and dry, warm the yang of the five organs, and have the power of "passing yin and returning to yang, and the power of resurrecting the dead", which is regarded as an important medicine for "replenishing fire" by doctors in the past dynasties. Zhang Jingyue, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, listed aconite, ginseng, rehman, and rhubarb as "four dimensions in medicine", which are also essential medicines for curing diseases and saving life.
Aconite has a spicy, sweet taste, and is very hot. Return to the heart, kidney, and spleen meridians. It is strong in nature, and has the effect of returning to the yang and relieving adversity, replenishing fire and helping yang, dissipating cold and relieving pain. There is a certain toxicity, but as long as the syndrome differentiation is accurate and the compatibility is appropriate, there will be significant efficacy.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" attaches great importance to the dominance of yang qi, "Yang qi, if the sky and the sun, lose its place, then lose their longevity", it can be seen that the lack of yang qi, the weakening of the driving effect of warmth, the stagnation of qi, blood and fluid, and the internal cold, condensation, phlegm, turbidity and dampness provide important conditions for the occurrence and development of tumors, metastasis and recurrence.
In addition, coupled with the lingering malignant tumors that are difficult to heal, "people with insufficient spleen and kidney and weakness and imbalance often have accumulated diseases." If righteousness does not work, evil stagnation can dwell in it." Therefore, yang deficiency is the leading factor in the development of tumorigenesis, and the recovery of the function of warming yang and transforming qi is the key to tumor treatment. Therefore, the application of aconite is an important treatment strategy for malignant tumors.
When cancer patients have kidney qi deficiency, less yang energy, and more yin and evil spirits, yang energy will run up and not down. At this time, the use of aconite can collect yang, and at the same time as aphrodisiac, collect floating yang, so that yang can return to its roots. Aconite is a medicine that goes away, it is hot and hot, and it is good at dispersing, and it must be dispersed to treat lumps. In addition, aconite can also stop cancer pain by promoting blood circulation and dissipating cold.
Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that aconite can have a direct killing effect on tumor cells, including inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing tumor cell apoptosis, inhibiting tumor cell invasion and metastasis, improving the body's immune function, and affecting tumor-related signaling pathways. The alkaloids in aconite have pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory, and the diterpenoid alkaloids have therapeutic effects on liver cancer, intestinal cancer, breast cancer, etc.
Aconite is mainly used to treat the death of yang syndrome, yang deficiency syndrome and cold paralysis syndrome. In clinical practice, Mr. Yu used the hot aconite with Nanxing and Banxia to treat patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma with metastasis, which is cold and cold, and the phlegm and stasis are intertwined, and achieved good clinical results.
