As the saying goes: one thing drops one thing.
There is also a saying: where there is a knot, there must be a solution.
There is also a saying: there must be a medicine to cure a disease, and there must be a cure for a certificate.
There is also a saying: the same voice corresponds, and the same breath seeks each other.
It is believed that the ancients also adhered to this line of thinking to find drugs in all things in heaven and earth when facing the threat of disease.
Legend has it that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered seventy-two poisons in one day. Although it is only a legend and an exaggeration, it is a microcosm of the process of human beings seeking medical treatment.
Flipping through the ancient Chinese medicine classics, especially the Materia Medica, the ancients' difficult exploration of medicine can be seen, and the wisdom of the ancients is even more convincing. With the progress of modern science, the development of medical technology, new drugs continue to emerge, people's health awareness is greatly improved, many of the drugs recorded in the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine in the field of modern medical have no application value, which is the inevitable inheritance and development, but more drugs can still play an important and magical role in solving human pain.
The sources of traditional Chinese medicine are very extensive, that is, the so-called grass and wood insect stones, which are mainly plant sources, animals, ores, and synthetic sources of drugs account for a relatively small proportion, and fecal Chinese medicine is a more special kind of Chinese medicine treasure house.
Although there are very few varieties of fecal Chinese medicines, and some can only be seen in ancient books, some fecal Chinese medicines are still widely used today, and some commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines contain such drugs.
Today, let's take stock of the fecal Chinese medicines in Chinese medicines and the common proprietary Chinese medicines that contain such drugs.
First, look at the moon sand, also known as the bright moon sand, that is, rabbit. The name is extremely poetic and admirable.
Chinese medicine believes that Wangyuesha has the effect of blindness, treatment of membrane in the eye, labor fistula, hemorrhoidal fistula, insecticide and detoxification.
Wangyuesha is still available for sale, but no useful chinese medicines have been found in commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines.
Second, the chicken is white, that is, the is white. Isn't the name too blunt and intimidating?
It is recorded in the "Shennong Materia Medica", all the Materia Medica has been included in the "Golden Essentials", there is chicken poop white scatter to treat tendons, and "PuJifang" has chicken yali to treat swelling.
Of course, chicken Yabai in ancient times is not a rare use (disgusting), drug selection, processing, into the medicine are all required. If you choose rooster, the white chicken black bone is better; the waxing moon is collected, the shade is dried; the wine is added when cooking, and so on.
The application of chicken yabai is now very rare, and Chinese medicine tablets are rarely sold. In addition to the scope of application, health requirements and other restrictions, the current chicken is mostly artificial feeding, feeding mostly feed, its feces and free-range chicken feces should be very different, the value of drugs should also be different. The same problem exists with other fecal Chinese medicines.
Third, night sand, also known as sky rat, that is, bat feces.
Chinese medicine believes that luminous sand has the effect of clearing heat and eyes and dispersing blood, but it is rarely used in other purposes except for eye diseases.
Luminous sand is still available for sale, and the proprietary Chinese medicine Huanglian sheep liver pills contain luminous sand.
Four. Silkworm sand, also known as silkworm sand, silkworm excrement, late silkworm sand, that is, silkworm dung. Silkworm sand is still widely used today.
Chinese medicine believes that silkworm sand: warm, non-toxic. Main bowel sounds, thirst quenching in the heat, rheumatism and paralysis rash.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Mengying, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, believed that silkworm sand was transformed by mulberry leaves, the main breath of fusang leaves was weathered and wet, and silkworms were also the main victory over wind and dampness, and silkworms were stiff and not rotten, and mulberry was transformed from silkworms, although it took the turbid road and was pure and unique.
The "silkworm soup" made by Wang Mengying for cholera disease has been included in the modern prescription science textbook.
Another example is the recent popularity: the use of silkworm sand, tangerine peel, bamboo ru and other three-flavor medicines to treat cold fever, many patients reflect that the effect is still very good.
The application of silkworm sand pillow is more common, more said to be good for people, but I have not used it, and its effect does not dare to say casually.
Five, five spirit fat, that is, the feces of the shrew. Warm, sweet, into the liver meridian, has the effect of toning the blood veins, dispersing stasis and relieving pain.
The squirrel mainly lives in the Taihang Mountains in the north, also known as the cold trumpet bird and the cold trumpet insect, is it somewhat familiar?
Fecal Chinese medicine, the most widely used in contemporary times is the five spirit fats. For example, the very famous formula, Lost Laughter, is composed of five spirit fats and pu huang.
Some of the more commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines, such as Small Gold Pills, Wuling Pain Relief Capsules, Kuanzhong Shunqi Pills, and Agarwood Comfort Pills, all contain Five Spirit Fats.
Five Spirit Fats
6. White lilacs, that is, the feces of sparrows.
The ancients believed that it was good to choose a male sparrow, and said that one tip was a male, and the two rounded ones were females. This is far-fetched and mostly fabricated.
Now this chinese medicine is no longer used, and its efficacy does not need to be more verbose.
There are also white lilacs in the plants, and the flowers are light and elegant, very beautiful.
7. Left Pan Dragon, that is, the feces of white pigeons.
The ancients were mainly used to treat scabies, head sores, baldness, tetanus stroke disease introduced into the country.
8. Oyster manure, oyster means male, oyster manure is the feces of male rats. Isn't that a bit bizarre?
The ancients mainly used it to treat typhoid fever, cradle carbuncle, milk rock and other evidence.
Wang Mengying's "Re-fixing Cholera Theory with The Residence" contains: Male rat arrow, yin and yang underwater two or seven pieces, treatment of cholera.
It is conceivable that this flavored medicine is no longer used. Leaving aside the medicinal effect, the choice of male finches for white lilacs, the choice of white pigeons for the left pan dragon, and the choice of male rats for oyster dung are also difficult to achieve. Remove the dross, and so on should be among them.
In addition, in some Chinese medicine works, it is also mentioned that other animal fecal Chinese medicines, such as Ma Tong (horse dung), white horse drowning, earthworm mud (earthworm dung) are also out of date and difficult to apply again. Even so, extraordinary medicine cures extraordinary medicine, very sick disease requires extraordinary medicine, who can say no?
Also mentioned in Wang Mengying's "Theory of Cholera Re-fixing with The Residence", ma ya burned ashes to cure colic, and named it Dushengshan, which means that this medicine alone can be cured. The time shift in "Water Margin" is suffering from strangulation and dying, so I am very impressed by this.
Nine, people in white, also known as human urine white, drowning white.
We all know that the white in people is a solid substance that naturally settles in human urine, and ancient Chinese medicine believes that white in people is formed by the accumulation of gas of human drowning. Therefore, the taste is salty and cool, and it can diarrhea the liver, kidneys, three burns, and the bladder.
Is white still in use?
The answer is yes. For example, a very commonly used proprietary Chinese medicine - double material throat wind dispersion, it contains human white, and it is not marked artificial, it should be genuine human white.
10. Yellow among people. Knowing the whiteness of people, and then understanding the yellow of people, it is easy to think that it is like that, but it is not.
However, in the "Materia Medica" written by Miao Xiyong, a medical scientist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the yellow in the people is indeed the same, but it is the yellow condensation on the bricks in the toilet pit for many years.
Now the person referred to as yellow is to put the licorice powder into the bamboo tube, seal it and enter the pit, take it out after a period of time, rinse it with running water, then expose it to the sun and dry it, and then split the bamboo tube, and the licorice that is taken out is the yellow in the person.
Yellow in people has the effect of diarrhea, detoxification, heat and cool blood.
Renzhong Huang still has sales, but its specific application and other information has not been found a lot, but what makes me most curious is its production process.
11. Huilong soup, that is, child urine.
Chinese medicine believes that people drown in yin and lower fire, remove bone steaming, relieve fatigue, spit on all kinds of vomiting, hemoptysis and spit blood, and their effect is very fast. And the virgin boy Yu liang.
Jin Dynasty Chu Cheng's "On the Theory of Labor" Yun: Fire is very fast, and blood is very god. Drinking and drowning is not a lifetime, taking cold medicine is not a lifetime.
Many medical masters are good at using child urine, such as the ancient Miao Xiyong, Wang Mengying, and the contemporary Li Ke, and often play a role in saving the depression.
Nowadays, in the future, the application of fecal Chinese medicines, including child urine, should be less and less. With the progress of science, it is inevitable to use more and more advanced microscopes to review these excreta.
Shame!
Two more points need to be added:
First, in many similar articles, ambergris is mentioned, believing that ambergris is the feces of sperm whales, but it is not. The main food of sperm whales is squid and octopus, and the indigestible squid and octopus's beak bone will form a solid in the intestine with the secretions before being spit out by the sperm whale. So ambergris is not feces.
Moreover, ambergris has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for a very short history and a very small scope of application, and its medicinal value is worth re-studying. It's just that the chances of re-research should be slim, because it's so rare.
Second, when I checked the information from the Internet, I found that there was an article that was well written and gave me a lot of inspiration, but when it was introduced, it was called "two-headed tip". This is wrong.
It should be mentioned in some Materia Medica works that the two-headed pointed one is a squirrel, and the author is a little careless.
There are indeed two tips in Chinese medicine, and I hereby prompt to avoid misleading.
