Hello, I am a TCM practitioner, a small medicine doctor.
In today's text, I want to talk to you about a "warm-up" square.
What can it do? It is to resist the cold evils of autumn and winter.
I think it is more timely for me to tell you about it at this time and let you know something.
Let's take a look at a real medical case. It is particularly typical.
There is such a man, 29 years old.
This man had caught a cold three days ago. The main problem is catching a cold.
After catching a cold, he began to have fever, bad wind chills, nasal congestion, and headaches. And this headache is dominated by pain on the right side.
He went to the hospital to prescribe some medicine. As a result, after the medication, it is ineffective, and the symptoms seem to increase. Especially this right side of the head pain, very obvious.
What to do? See Chinese medicine.
Who are you looking for? It is still the predecessor of Liu Zhiming, who I mentioned a few days ago.
Liu Shi looked at it like this, the patient's pulse was deep, the moss was thin white and yellowish, and the tongue was dark. The main manifestations of the patient at that time were fever, cold wind, nasal congestion, headache, and the right side was obvious, and the nose was clear. Moreover, the patient said that his neck was now tight and turning unfavorably.
At that time, Liu Shi opened a square. Let's take a look:
Kudzu root, peony, mulberry leaf, Cangshu, Sichuan root, wattle mustard, parsnip, bai zhi, cicada coat, platycodon, licorice, decoction, one dose per day, a total of 3 doses.
As a result, after taking 3 doses of this formula, the patient felt that the nasal congestion and headache were significantly reduced, so the original formula continued to use 5 doses. After this, the evidence was cleared, and the patient was completely cured.
This medical case is a very typical medical case. It uses Sichuan root tea to mix and subtract to treat the cold evidence.
I'll tell you what's going on.
First of all, you have to understand a truth. This is what in the eyes of Chinese medicine, the evil of wind and cold, easy to disturb our heads.
Why? The head is on top. High terrain, windy. Therefore, the upper part of the human body is easily subject to wind and evil. This is why many people have an uncomfortable head once they have a cold or flu.
The evil of wind and cold, depressed people's head meridians, this time people will have headaches. Specifically, the forehead area of a person belongs to the Yang Ming Sutra. The side of the head belongs to the biliary meridians. The top of the head belongs to the liver meridian. The back of the head is connected to the neck and belongs to the Sun Sutra. You see, this evil of wind and cold, which sutra hurts you. Whichever one is tired, it hurts wherever it is.
For example, the patient in the medical case above, fever, cold, nasal congestion, headache, runny nose, it is obvious that he is suffering from wind chills. This is the embodiment of the wind and cold depression. Where does he hurt? Right side headache. This includes half of the forehead and the side of the head. Of course, he also has a problem, that is, the neck area is tight.
How can we solve the problem of wind and cold and headache?
There is a way to do it in TCM. Let's look at the matching that Master Liu used at that time-
Here, see The River Root, right? ChuanQi, take the liver and gallbladder meridian. The pain on both sides of the head, it tubes.
You also saw Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi, into the Yang Ming Sutra. Pain in the forehead, it tubes.
Who do you see again? Saw Kudzu, didn't you? Kudzu root, which is Zhang Zhongjing's medicine for treating neck discomfort, can be infused with bujin liquid to the neck.
Of course, the white peony medicine can also relieve pain.
Next, mulberry leaves, cangshu, thorn mustard, windproof, cicada clothes, these all have the effect of dispelling the wind and dissolving the table, which can help us to disperse the cold evil that is stuck on the muscle surface. As for the aforementioned Bai Zhi and Sichuan Root, in fact, they also have the effect of dispersing wind and cold.
Here, there is also a platycodon. Kirito, opening the lungs, can restore the circumferential flow of the lung guard qi, and help to disperse the cold and resist the evil. In addition, it also acts as a medicine for the boat here, introducing many medicinal properties into the head, so as to improve the discomfort of the head as much as possible.
All in all, it is a formula for wind and cold, clear and sharp, and pain relief, with the shadow of Sichuan root tea dispersion.
I write this out in the hope that my readers and friends will think about it seriously.
In fact, for the upcoming autumn and winter season, the first thing we have to guard against is the evil of wind and cold. Many people are like this, the summer is cool and habitual, feel that it does not matter, neglect to keep warm, the result of the weather is cool, the wind blows, it is cold. After the cold, the head hurts, the neck is stiff, the nose is runny, and the body is uncomfortable. At this time, I personally think that Master Liu's Fangzi in the above article is a good idea. Its medication, although bland, is more to the point. This is worthy of serious speculation in our later learning.
Non-professional readers, you write it down. If possible, learn from the dialectical guidance of Chinese medicine practitioners. Remember, this party is for wind chills and colds, not wind fevers. Professional friends, you also make a reference. It is aimed at patients, and is more common in the following seasons.
Of course, the key is that we have to pay attention to cold protection. Wind evil is like a knife. Especially people who are a little older, low immunity, but have to guard against points, you say yes!
