Menghan medicine, refers to the drug that makes people temporarily lose consciousness after taking it, which is actually the ancient name of anesthetic and has a general anesthetic effect. The history of Menghan medicine can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, and it is said that the famous doctor Bian Que first used Menghan medicine for clinical use.
The Liezi: Tang Qing chapter records: "Lu Gonghu and Zhao Qi were sick, and they asked Bian Que to heal them." Bian Que then drank the poisonous wine of the two people, died for three days, dissected the stomach and probed the heart, easily ignored it, and threw a miracle drug. Having realized as before, the two resigned. It can be said that this poisonous wine is an anesthetic liquor containing sweat medicine, the so-called "ecstasy" refers to the temporary unconsciousness of people after the anesthetic acts, and the "miracle drug" is a wake-up agent with detoxification and detoxification functions.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Biography of Hua Tuo introduces the famous physician Hua Tuo of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty who inherited and summed up the experience of his predecessors, invented the earliest anesthetic in human history, Ma Boiling Powder, and used it to perform surgery for patients: "If the disease is issued internally, and the needle medicine cannot reach it, it is ordered to take Hemp Boiling Powder with wine first, drunk and unconscious, due to symptoms, caesarean section, extraction and accumulation... With the anointing of God, the symptoms will be cured in four or five days, and they will be calmed down in January. This means that for those patients who have diseases in the body, are ineffective with acupuncture and drugs, and must be treated surgically, Hua Tuo first let him take "hemp boiling scatter", and then "cut the abdomen and back to clear the disease" after he loses consciousness. It can be seen that the anesthesia effect of hemp boiling dispersion has reached a certain level.
When the Ming Dynasty physician Li Shizhen was young, he wrote in his "Linhu Pulse Science" that Menghan medicine was related to aconitum, and in middle age, he believed that the Chinese medicine "Oshi bulu" also had a paralyzing effect, and he recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that after taking it by mistake, "I don't know about adding a knife and axe", "A little grinding wine is drunk, then the whole body is paralyzed". In his later years, he also found that the "sheep flowers" smelled bitter, warm, and poisonous, and "thieves came to do it without doing it, so that they could eat it, so that people were drunk, and they tended to the basket, and after taking it, they fell asleep." ”
In modern times, the domestic Chinese medicine community has carried out exploration and research on Menghan medicine and Hemp Boiling Powder, and unveiled its mysterious veil: Menghan Medicine is mainly composed of mandala flowers, Chuan Wu and Cao Wu; while Ma Boiling Powder is mainly composed of Mantuo luo flowers, jasmine roots, calamus, Sichuan Dome and so on. Both parties use herbs with anesthesia to relieve pain, of which mandala flowers are the main ingredient.
Mandala flowers
Mandra flower: also known as the golden flower, mountain ash flower, drunken peach blossom, etc., is an annual herb of the solanaceae family, its roots, leaves, flowers, seeds are available for medicinal use, with asthma, cough, analgesia, anesthesia effect, which contains scopolamine and other ingredients.
"Compendium of Materia Medica": "According to legend, this flower laughs and drinks wine, which makes people laugh; dances to make people drink wine, make people dance." If you try it, you must drink it half-drunk, and make one laugh or dance to attract it. "Pick this flower in August, shade dry, hot wine to serve three dollars, less is drowsy, cutting fever, it is advisable to take this first, then do not feel pain also." "Raw Herbs Sexual Preparation": "Foreign golden flowers, food can kill people, confuse people." ”
After mandala flower poisoning, mainly for the central nervous system to show first excitement and then inhibition, small doses can make people feel tired, dizzy, sleepy, and then into dreamless sleep, the general dose can make people have a sedative effect, produce "forgetfulness", and then enter the anesthesia state, if combined with sleeping pills can produce a strong synergistic effect.
Mantuos flower not only has anesthetic effect, but also has a hallucinogenic effect, oral transducery system can be rapidly absorbed, distributed throughout the body, and block parasympathetic function, inhibition of the secretion of various glands, resulting in the appearance of dry mouth, hoarseness, dry skin flushing, dizziness and headache, decreased vision, slow or disappearance of light response, behavioral disorders, confusion, difficulty breathing, etc. In severe cases, the central nervous system is suppressed, resulting in coma, nausea, vomiting, etc.

In the Ming Dynasty's "Medicine Book", the bone-piercing Dan is matched with the fruit of the sheep flower with frankincense, musk and other compatibility to treat bruises, bruises, hematomas and pains.
Qing Dynasty "Medical Sect Jinjian" recorded osteopathic anesthetics is based on the sheep flower, with mandala, ephedra, Chuan Wu, grass Wu, etc., Sichuan Wu wu has anesthetic effect, and the compatibility with the haunting sheep flower can improve the anesthesia effect, but the Sichuan Wu cao Wu and the Yang Hua have the side effect of slowing down the heart rhythm, mandala has an anesthetic effect, and has the effect of speeding up the heart rhythm, so the compatibility with the Yang Flower can not only enhance the anesthesia effect, but also can antagonize the Yang Flower and so on to cause bradycardia, ephedra can also rise blood pressure, eliminate the blood pressure caused by the Yang Flower.
The juice of the sheep flower plus wine can make people lose consciousness and cause anesthesia, and is often used for surgical anesthesia. In ancient times, there was a "cup of drunken, a cup poured" of sacred wine, in fact, it may be added to the wine to make the juice of the sheep flower.

"Compendium of Materia Medica": "Grass aconitum and ejaculation are poison medicines." The grass aconitum is taken out and dried as poison to shoot animals and beasts, so it is called shooting recklessness.
