Antispasmodic medicine: ox yellow hook vine earth dragon tianma zombie silkworm whole scorpion centipede
65 Antispasmodic medicines: ox yellow, hook vine, earth dragon, gastrodia, zombie silkworm, whole scorpion, centipede
bezoar:
Let's introduce the second taste of antispasmodic medicine - bovine yolk, which is derived from cattle, buffalo and other yaks such as the Tibetan plateau, and even wild cattle, its gallbladder or stones in the bile ducts. This in itself is a product of a pathology.
Then the general inside the gallbladder is often in the oval shape, the outside is relatively smooth, just like the egg we eat, the duck egg, the shape of the circle inside, layer by layer, this is often called egg yolk, just like the yellow inside the egg, called egg yolk, this quality is better, but also relatively large. Then some are grown in this bile duct, and the bile duct becomes a cylindrical, relatively small, which is often called tube yellow, and the quality is inferior.
Where cattle are sick after the natural formation, this kind of cattle yolk is called natural bovine yolk, think that the quality is the best, because this natural bovine yolk medicinal source is very rare, the medicinal materials are very scarce, so through research, some people will do surgery on the cow, implant it in the gallbladder to implant foreign bodies, let it produce gallbladder stones, so that the formation of bovine yolk is called human cultivation of cattle yolk, artificially cultivated.
However, because the cattle are a large livestock, the success rate of artificial breeding is not very high, so the cost is still very high, there is no advantage, so it has not been promoted. But if the success rate has increased and the cost has decreased, I think it is a better way to produce bovine yolk through artificial breeding, but not yet.
So now because the clinical demand for bovine yolk is relatively large, natural, human cultivation is far from meeting the needs, so some people according to the chemical composition of bovine yolk, mainly some bilirubin, bile salts, this kind, in the bile of cattle or pigs, these main components, some bile acid, bile acid or bilirubin put forward, after artificial methods to prepare it together, this is called artificial bovine yolk.
Then artificial bovine yolk its chemical composition and natural bovine yolk compared to it, it is relatively single, that is, three or two of the components or several components, bovine (yellow) natural its chemical composition is very complex, so (artificial bovine yolk) to a certain extent can be used instead of bovine yolk, so the current use of bovine yolk in general is mainly the use of artificial bovine yolk.
Oxal is also a more important medicine in this chapter, so there are 16 words in the book to summarize its efficacy, in fact, there are more than four effects. Breathing wind and stopping spasms, clearing the heart and liver fever, both clearing the heart heat, but also clearing the liver heat, dissolving phlegm, opening the trick, clearing heat and detoxification, six aspects (efficacy). In these six aspects, the main three aspects of the effect that bovine yolk is used more now.
The first is to stop the wind and spasm, bovine yolk and antelope horn is also a drug with more obvious cold, because it can also purify the heart and liver fever, the effect of clearing heat is also relatively strong, so it is also suitable for liver fever and wind, then clinically, it is mainly used for warm fever, heart and liver fever, or the heart and liver heat poison blazing caused spastic convulsions, but also use its opening effect, the trick is closed, the patient has fainted, coma, then it is a comprehensive application of all its effects.
In the fever, the efficacy of the six aspects can be said to be related, because the temperature fever in the emergence of the trick closure dizziness, often related to the phlegm heat block heart trick, so the effect of phlegm it is also used, then this is the current use of bovine yolk is the best (choice), is the application of our book one, so the application of one, for the warm pole of the fever disease, children's hot pole shock and other liver wind internal evidence. It is related to all the effects of bovine yolk in six aspects, not only to relieve wind and spasm, there is a dizzy opening, there is phlegm phlegm, itself has heat poison, there is heart and liver heat, this is universally used, this is the first application.
Then the second one, which is used more is to use its antipyretic and detoxification effect, for sore throat, such as "Six Gods Pill", which has ox yellow and musk these medicines used together, and other sores carbuncle swelling pain, this sore carbuncle swelling pain can be used in general.
But it is more used for more serious, as a kind of bad sores, heat poison is more blazing, such as boils that are easy to walk yellow, or some will cause hot poison to attack the heart, sores poison to attack the heart of some such evidence. Now it is also often used for tumors, some cancers, it (there are) similar to some pathological phenomena of hot toxic sores, but also use it to clear heat and detoxify. So it can be used in this regard.
In addition, it can actually be used as a trick medicine alone, but not much, often in the case of warm fever, the trick is faint or stroke, which can be associated with the next chapter to learn the trick medicine.
Ordinary heart heat or liver fever evidence, beef yolk is effective, but now generally not selected, such as general heart heat, caused upset, use it to clear the heart, there is no need for this, the front such as gardenia, huanglian, yujin these (medicine) can receive obvious effects, there is no need to choose beef yolk again. Then for example, for example, ordinary liver fever evidence, even liver fever of redness and swelling pain, or headache and dizziness caused by liver fever, it is also a very effective (medicine), but it is generally not used.
For example, the cough and phlegm of lung fever are more, which is used to clear the lungs and expectorant, which is completely effective, and the effect is quite good, but it is generally not selected, because similar drugs are cheap and good. So this bull yolk has only three applications in our book, especially the first one is used more. The second application is to say that there is no difference from the first application, but the first application generally does not emphasize dizziness, and its role in dissolving phlegm may not be very relevant.
Then the second effect is still a stroke or a shock, or a warm fever, in the liver wind at the same time as the trick to close the dizziness, use it to dissolve phlegm to open the trick, its clinical significance is slightly different. For warm fever, there is a dizzy use of it to dissolve phlegm, there is nothing to do with this effect, if there is a dizziness in the fever without spastic convulsions, then the relationship with the wind and spasm is not obvious, just a little difference, so it is actually a problem.
In addition, it is an ordinary internal medicine miscellaneous disease or surgery, which is used to detoxify and detoxify, especially some bad sores or some tumors now.
The medicine of cattle yolk, because it is very expensive, plus many ingredients in the decoction have been destroyed, so it can generally only be used as a pill powder, not as a decoction, which is a problem that everyone should pay attention to in terms of usage. Niu Huang talks about some of this content.
Hook vine:
The hook vine below, which is a vine of the madder family, has some thin branches that have degenerated, metamorphosis, and form a hook, and this hook has this kind of alternate, growing one here, and then one growing on this side, separating left and right. Some are in the same place, opposites, the same, there are intergenerations, there are opposites, all used as hook vines.
In the past, when using hook vine, some doctors are keen to use only the hook, just take such a little, its stem does not, in the prescription he wants to write the hook vine hook, as if only the hook is used so little, why, think it is pointed, the tip of its strength is relatively fierce, the force is sharp. Because it is sharp, it is better to act violently.
Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the hook of the hook vine and the relatively tender vine contain the chemical composition and the effect of the drug are exactly the same, and the strength, such as anticonvulsant, antipyretic these strengths are the same, but if you use a very thick vine, for example, some have grown for more than three or five years, the diameter is four or five centimeters, the effect is obviously lower, not obvious, that is generally not used as a hook vine.
Therefore, all the more tender vines, one or two years old, and the hook-like part is equivalent to the medicine, so there is no need to write a hook vine hook when prescribing in the future, that is, the hook with the vine, the hook, the same effect of the vine, this is not to worry, this is a simple situation about the medicinal materials.
Then the hook vine as a wind relief medicine, it is similar to antelope horn in many aspects, and often compatible together, first of all, it also has an obvious liver heat removal effect, so it is more suitable for liver fever and wind, but it does not have the antipyretic and detoxification effect of antelope horn, so for the liver wind internal movement of warm fever, hook vine is not important, it is not a heat-clearing antidote.
However, the medicinal properties of the hook vine are relatively peaceful, slightly cold medicine, then it is very suitable for children's young yang body, there is no need to use this kind of bitter and cold medicine, relatively light, relatively peaceful hook vine, so for the child's wind, (hook vine) may be used more than antelope horn, the drug source is also rich, the price is also low, is a pediatric more suitable for a wind and antispasmodic medicine, especially in the liver fever.
In addition, it is also a medicine for the flat liver, because it is a plant medicine, it is not said that it is flat liver latent yang, it is a flat liver yang, then for the liver yang wind, it is also similar to the antelope horn, and often used together, such as antelope hook vine soup, named after these two drugs, this party is a very important prescription to learn in the future, the liver yang can be used, the liver wind can also be used, and both are also a party that can be used.
Therefore, it is the same as antelope horn in terms of wind and antispasm, mainly used for patients with liver fever and liver yang wind, but in warm fever, hook vine is less commonly used, because it has no detoxification effect.
In addition, it is used alone to level the liver and yang, that is, the general hepatic yang hyperactivity, especially when the liver yang hyperactivity and liver fever evidence are more suitable, and the situation of compatibility is the same. As a hepatic fever clearing drug, the general liver fever certificate is not used much, can be used, but the simple liver clearing medicine, we have enough antipyretic drugs in front of us.
Hook vine
So our book it has three aspects of efficacy, only two aspects of the main treatment, that is, the treatment of ordinary internal medicine miscellaneous diseases in the liver fever evidence, it is not unusable, completely can be used, but not very commonly used, often in the use of it to stop spasms and peace liver yang when considering that it is a clear liver fever medicine, so both liver fever is more suitable for some.
Although the hook vine is a botanical medicine, it contains the antispasmodic or flat liver components are mainly an alkaloid, this alkaloid is unstable in the case of high heat, easy to destroy, so the general decoction is best in 15 to 20 minutes, generally do not exceed 20 minutes, if it exceeds it, it is easy to destroy (the main ingredient), reducing its efficacy, which is about hook vine. Are all more important (content).
earthworm:
The next one (medicine) - earth dragon, earth dragon (is) everyone is more familiar, is the earthworm, its dry insect body directly into the medicine, then we have two varieties in this book, one is the ginseng ring hairy earthworm, one is the pickaxe earthworm.
The previous one of the varieties has a sign, in its neck there is a white ring-like band, white, so also called white-necked earthworm, this earthworm individual is relatively large, mainly produced in coastal areas, so also called patchouli earthworm, Guangdong, Guangxi these (places) are more produced, including Fujian, because it is relatively large, after it is dissected, remove its internal, some of the inner cavity such as sediment or these things, medicinal materials are relatively pure.
The latter variety, itself is relatively small, if it is cut open after the sun-dried, it is a thin layer of skin, generally not cut open, even some of its cavities are retained together as medicinal materials, so the quality of this medicinal material is relatively poor, so general doctors like to use "white-necked earthworm", or "Guangdi dragon", is a variety in front, this is the mainstream variety, more used.
The earth dragon is also a medicine to relieve wind and antispasm, but the effect of wind and antispasm is not strong, but the earth dragon has a good heat clearing effect. This heat clearing effect one is the heat of the heart and liver, more importantly in this type of medicine, the earth dragon can significantly reduce the heat, for patients with fever, it can significantly reduce the body temperature, this heat contains the heat reduction, so for the heat shengfeng, such as warm fever or children's wind, often there is strong heat, so the earth dragon can be used, but it is not commonly used, for the hot shengfeng, not as important as the previous drug, the key is that its effect of wind relief is relatively weak.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, for the reference of students, the anti-strength heat of the earth dragon or the anti-wind and antispasmodic, fresh, fresh effect is more obvious, after drying (of) this medicinal material, and then use it as a decoction, the effect is particularly less obvious. Fresh earth dragon as a decoction, in our average mind is difficult to accept, there is a psychological disorder, always think that the earth dragon is growing in these dark, damp, dirty such an environment, as if to take (it), this psychology is very difficult to accept.
More than twenty years ago, because at that time Europe raised a kind of earth dragon, of course, it is not this kind of traditional Chinese medicine (of) this variety, as a food additive, that is, in some foods in Europe, some bread inside, drinks in, at that time someone introduced us to China, at that time many places raised this earth dragon into the wind, and finally added to what to go to what no one eats, such as food made with the earth dragon, such as added to the biscuit, the biscuit is not bought, added to the drink, the drink is not drunk, added to the bread No one eats the bread.
earthworm
I went to see some of the local dragons at that time, breeding very quickly, and then feed the chickens, more is that the chickens do not eat, slowly this wind cools down, is because people have a psychological barrier, in fact, the dragon contains very high-quality protein, as a food additive is indeed good for the human body, but it is because people have a psychological barrier to affect its development.
Then as a traditional Chinese medicine, to be used as a medicine to clear the hot breath, there is also this truth, that is, some of our classmates may have a fever when there seems to be something similar to a convulsion, may not be willing to eat, this may be a question mark, so in fact, it is not used as a clear heat and antispasmodic medicine, which has a certain relationship with the need to use fresh products.
But this for reference, this is not an absolute factor, the most important factor or the strength of the antispasmodic action itself is not very obvious, not very strong, so it is not used much, if it is very good, in the antispasmodic medicine it is better than any one of the antispasmodic effects, I see that this disease evidence who is willing to eat, the key is still in the efficacy.
Then the current dry product of the medicinal materials, used more, the most is the tongluo, or called Shu meridian active network, through the meridian active network, this we have talked about in the anti-rheumatism medicine, through the meridian, it is to soothe the meridians, so that the joints are constrained, flexion and extension of some of the symptoms are alleviated; active network, dredging is the vein, or meridians, the improvement is numbness hemiplegia, mouth and eye oblique These local symptoms of loss of nourishment, the earth dragon is commonly used. For example, the treatment of joint cramps, flexion and extension is not conducive to these anti-rheumatic formulas, such as small active Lodan, and rheumatic pain relief drugs are compatible together.
If the numbing hemiplegia after the stroke, the tonic Yang and the five soups, and some of the tonic qi and blood nourishment, blood invigorating stasis, together, (and) what astragalus, safflower, Sichuan root these drugs are composed, so in this aspect it is the most used, then the mouth and eye of the meridian in this wind can also be used, so this is the most important at present. Asthma can be used for asthma with lung fever, which is sometimes used, and has considerable effects, and is also used more.
In addition, as a diuretic and swelling drug, can be used for wet hot water swelling, this application is not common, the effect is general, so the dragon has five major effects, the most used is the communication and asthma, so this drug we will not be introduced as a very important drug, we make a general understanding. Then in addition (to add), it is called asthma, it is able to relieve the spasm of bronchial smooth muscles, so the real asthma it can also be cured, add this sentence.
The front are typical cold antispasmodic drugs, so it is mainly to treat heat evidence, and the latter few herbs are flat, some are slightly cold, and some are slightly warm, so they have some of their personality characteristics.
Gastrodia:
The first medicine - gastrodia. In ancient texts, tianma is called "red arrow" because it has a stem, and this stem is a rounded tip in front of it when it is first born. It is a parasitic orchid plant, no roots below, can not absorb nutrients, water from the soil, no leaves above, can not photosynthesis, it is completely parasitic life.
Then it parasitizes, it is symbiotic with a fungus called dense ring fungus, this dense ring fungus generally attaches to its surface, filamentous, dense ring bacteria absorb nutrients from the soil, and then gastrodia is absorbed from the dense ring bacteria for their own growth and development needs, if the gastrodia blooms, mature has not been mined, then it will rot under itself, rot away, the dense ring bacteria in turn absorb it as a nutrient, so it is symbiotic with the dense ring bacteria.
In the past, the growth habits of gastrodia did not know, the ancients did not know, there is a sense of mystery about it, so it has been (since) gastrodia production is not high, all rely on the wild, and feel very strange a thing, so many legends, about gastrodia. So now it has been figured out, so artificial can be cultivated, the key to breeding is first to have dense ring bacteria, and then there must be the seeds of gastrodia or the small tubers of gastrodia, so that artificial reproduction, so now the vast majority of clinical use is artificially cultivated.
Gastrodia
As a medicine to relieve wind and antispasm, tianma is a sweet and flat medicine, so clinically it can be used in combination regardless of cold and heat, which is theoretically speaking. That is to say, theoretically speaking, for the hot shengsheng wind of warm fever, it can be used in conjunction with antipyretic antidotes, or the previous cold antispasmodic drugs, but in fact, tianma is not used much, because it does not have a heat-clearing effect itself, it is relatively different from other (drugs) than it has no advantage, and the previous several antispasmodic drugs (ratio).
But theoretically speaking, it can be used, children's high fever or stroke these can be used, it is because it is flat, so for children slow panic, it can also be with the temper of the medicine, often there are some warm tonic medicine, such as and ginseng, white art and the like. For example, the awakening pill we mentioned is like this. For tetanus, gastrodia itself can also dispel external wind, but also can breathe internal wind, so it is also more suitable for tetanus, can be used.
So we grasp a basic feature of it, the most important thing is flatness, liver wind internal movement regardless of cold and heat virtual reality, in principle, can be used in combination, but the more used is the liver yang wind, because it is itself a flat liver medicine. The two effects are exerted at the same time, and they are relatively more used. It is especially important to treat some hypertensive patients now, if there is a precursor to internal movement of liver wind.
Then as a flat liver medicine, it is a plant medicine, so we call it flat liver yang here, there is no longer called flat liver latent yang, the past textbook in the term to it changed a bit, then it is also used for ordinary liver yang hyperactivity, the principle of compatibility is the same.
In addition, gastrodia also has the effect of dispelling wind and relieving pain, but it is more secondary, it can be used for rheumatism paralysis, or stroke, in fact, there is also a effect of ventilation and wind relief, which is more secondary. Now some rheumatic remedies, such as some proprietary Chinese medicine tianma now, it is not used to calm the liver, not to breathe wind, but for communication, wind relief and pain relief.
Now it is found that gastrodia has a certain nourishing effect. The ancients also knew this, so why has there been such a mystery and a worship of tianma for a long time. It is also believed that it can be good for the human body and can prolong life.
Now it is found that gastrodia can be antioxidant, anti-aging, (there are) antioxidant, anti-aging and other such effects, so long-term use for health care is good, so this is a lot of people like to take gastrodia, and even in some foods to add gastrodia, with gastrodia to stew meat, soup, so that is more common, there is a certain truth. Tianma is talking about this.
Zombie Silkworm:
The following medicine - zombie silkworm, then this is the silkworm that produces silk, when the size of the second sleep, it is infected with a deadly infectious disease, called white zombie disease, (is) a fungus, parasitized on the surface of its body, so it becomes white, such a filamentous, so some books call it white zombie silkworm, because it feels the white zombie fungus after death.
This is a deadly infectious disease for this silkworm. Generally, it is not allowed to occur in areas where silkworms are raised, and cannot occur. Therefore, the general zombie silkworm is in the non-silkworm area a small amount of it infected with white zombie bacteria, after infection, the insect body will be frozen, the inside is brittle, many years will not rot, will not deteriorate.
So some places put other reasons to die silkworms on the surface of the lime, is also white, then that inside is soft, easy to spoil, so can not be used as a zombie silkworm, it is a special infection. Strictly speaking, it is also a complex of animals and plants, which is the same kind as cordyceps, and the white part of the surface is the plant part, which is a fungus, and inside is the insect body of the animal that has died.
Zombie silkworms
As a medicine to relieve wind and antispasm, zombie silkworm is similar to gastrodia and is relatively peaceful, so it can be used in combination with cold and heat, and it is often used with gastrodia. What about the difference? Gastrodia has the effect of leveling the liver and has special significance for liver yang wind. Zombie silkworm it has a little bit of heat and expectorant effect, so our effect in the book it has phlegm, it is also equivalent to the previous tribulus (effect), in fact, it is wind and heat, it can clear heat expectorant.
Therefore, liver wind internal movement and phlegm fever, it is more suitable than gastrodia, then liver wind internal movement and phlegm fever such as pediatric convulsions, stroke, epilepsy often have both phlegm fever internal resistance, so it and gastrodia have a little advantage in this point. It is the same in other aspects, especially flatness, and is widely used.
Then the second set of effects in our book - dispelling wind and communication, this and the previous tribulus terrestris, this wind can be understood as wind fever, through the wind heat it can achieve throat, to achieve pain relief, antipruritic and other effects, so it can be used for skin itching caused by wind and heat, can also be used for wind fever caused by sore throat, or wind fever attack caused by dizziness, headache, this and the application of tribulus terrestris is similar.
In addition, it is the communication network, the communication network treatment is stroke, the meridian in the wind, the mouth and eyes oblique mainly, this is not the wind, mainly used for the communication, the mouth and eyes oblique, or numb hemiplegia can be used. In addition, this sputum dispersion, that is, for sputum nucleus fistula, also has a certain effect. It can both eliminate phlegm and actually have the effect of expectorant. Therefore, lung fever cough phlegm is also able to use zombie silkworms.
Zombie silkworm because it is mainly an animal medicine, when used raw has a fishy smell, so generally to fry, play a stink, taste of such a (role), easy to take. Since the white zombie silkworm is generally not allowed to occur, this is contradictory to this kind of enterprise or this kind of production of silkworms. So now use a by-product, there is a silkworm pupae in the cocoon, let the silkworm pupae infect the white zombie fungus, then called zombie pupae, and now it is found that it can replace the zombie silkworm.
So now in some of the prescriptions for the production of proprietary Chinese medicines, many zombie silkworms use zombie pupae, because after the silk is produced, zombie pupae is a by-product, not much use, then this is also a comprehensive utilization of resources. Therefore, zombie silkworms can be compared with gastrodia, they (are) both able to breathe in the internal wind and can dispel external wind drugs, are flat, but there are many different places.
Scorpion:
There are also two animal medicines below, The Whole Scorpion and the Centipede. These two poisonous insects, the whole scorpion is the use of East Asian whole scorpion, this animal is generally artificially raised, and then collected as a medicinal use, then this drug as a relief of wind and antispasmodic medicine, in this class of drugs its antispasmodic effect is more obvious, stronger, may also be stronger than the antelope horn, (because) it has a stronger effect of antispasmodic, so it is used for a variety of liver wind internal movement evidence.
Theoretically, this drug is toxic, and is flat and warm, according to the theory, children's acute convulsions are a thermal evidence, this type of medicine is not very suitable, (because) it does not have the effect of clearing liver fever, but also slightly warm, but in the treatment of pediatric convulsions, used a lot, the key is that its anti-convulsive power is relatively strong, often through it to match other antipyretic drugs or antispasmodic drugs, so that the whole party to achieve such a clinical effect as clearing heat.
Of course, for tetanus or pediatric slow shock, it is more suitable, it is a false cold evidence, it is warm, there is no impact.
So tetanus, this drug can also breathe both internal wind and external wind effect. So it is more widely used. Other liver wind internal movements, such as severe symptoms, such as stroke, epilepsy can also be used. Including warm fever, it is not unusable, so it is clinically widely used, and it is related to a variety of (function), the key is that it is most closely related to its strong antispasmodic effect.
The second effect, attacking the poison and scattering the knot, it is itself a poison, that treatment of toxic sores and carbuncles take its poison to attack the poison, so the whole scorpion in the clinic it can be used for sores swelling pain or related to phlegm block (evidence), the focus is to use it to spread the knot, the relationship with the attack on the poison is not obvious, because it is not a heat poison certificate. Then both can attack the poison and scatter the main refers to the sore carbuncle swelling and pain. This is often used in conjunction with other antipyretic and detoxifying drugs.
Third, tongluo relieves pain. This communication is the same as many of the drugs that we have learned before that can activate the meridians, it is mainly for some therapeutic effects such as crooked mouth and eyes, local numbness and hemiplegia, and unfavorable joint flexion and extension, and use it to communicate or activate the meridians. Analgesic, then stubborn pain, stubborn rheumatism with this effect.
However, in many Chinese medicine works, the whole scorpion treatment of mouth and eye oblique and hemiplegia is placed in the application one. Then it is used for a variety of liver wind internal movements, after the narration, the treatment of mouth and eye oblique, Hemp Ben hemiplegia how, this has a concept is not clear. The front is used to relieve wind and stop spasms, are liver wind internal movement evidence, mouth and eye oblique, numb hemiplegia is not liver wind internal movement evidence, why use the whole scorpion, mainly use it to communicate.
So we now put it in the application of three, for rheumatism stubborn, stubborn migraine, mainly use it to relieve pain, as for the mouth and eyes oblique, numb hemiplegia of course has no obvious relationship with pain relief, mainly is also used for communication, so the efficacy and the corresponding relationship of the main treatment, this student should be clear, this is about the situation of the whole scorpion.
Then the whole scorpion is poisonous, so the dosage can not be large, the amount of use is large, first of all, causing serious poisoning of the nervous system, as well as many of the reactions of the whole body, serious will also lead to death, so the general dosage, especially when used as a powder, because the whole scorpion decoction effect is not good, there are many ingredients can not be dissolved or to be destroyed, then the effect of the general powder is better.
Then as a powder we book require each time in about 1 gram, and then a little larger, in fact, it is relatively safe, we book in the reference three, the poisoning dose of internal administration is 30 to 60 grams, that refers to decoction, the powder is not so large. Some people have used 5 or 6 grams once, and there are obvious adverse reactions, and even toxic reactions, so it should be noted that this 60 grams and 30 grams in general, if it is considered to be a powder, then it may be a problem.
centipede:
The latter medicine, centipede, is also after the centipede is caught, and after it is burned to death, it is supported by a bamboo skewer and used as a medicinal material.
Then the centipede and the whole scorpion, the effect is exactly the same, the wind and antispasmodic, and the two drugs are typically used for use, that is to say, we (put) these two drugs together, if we now take this anticonvulsant as an observation indicator, then their role is one plus one is greater than two such an effect, that is, the typical phase whiskers, the same kind is inseparable.
For example, someone does an anticonvulsant test. The whole scorpion and the centipede each use 0.5 grams, the anticonvulsant effect is very obvious, with 1 gram of centipede alone, there is a certain anticonvulsant effect, it is better to use 0.5 grams each, use the whole scorpion alone (1 gram), not obvious, this effect is not obvious, and each use 0.5 grams, no effect, anticonvulsant, almost found that there is no (effect), the amount is not enough, and the two drugs each use 0.5 grams, it is matched together, not only has and is very strong, is the strength that can not be reached when using any one of these drugs 1 gram alone.
So this is a very good example of a phase whisker, so it is necessary to use it in terms of breathing wind and stopping spasms, so it is also used for a variety of liver wind internal movements, including children's acute wind, although this centipede is warm, a drug that is warm, also used, because it is strong in relieving wind and stopping spasms, and it is stronger than the whole scorpion, stronger than the whole scorpion.
In addition, they can attack poison and scatter knots, and can be used for sores, swelling and pain, fistula, sputum nucleus, and gall tumors. In addition, it is also a tongluo analgesia, which can (be used) stubborn rheumatic paralysis, stubborn headache, then for mouth-eye oblique, numb hemiplegia is also tongluo, these two drugs can be compatible together.
So if these two drugs want to be compared, the same is the main, the difference is a little, the warm and poisonous nature of the centipede is stronger than the whole insect, or stronger than the whole scorpion, the warm and poisonous nature of the centipede is better, so in the clinical use of especially attention, then in the use of more suitable for powder.
Scorpion
Now the current commercial medicinal materials in the whole scorpion, the quality of medicinal materials is very poor, because in (processing) medicinal materials, it is generally to catch this whole insect after being burned in boiling water, after scalding to facilitate preservation, some add salt in boiling water, use salt (water) to burn, brine scalding, so it may be easier to keep the time longer.
But some people add a lot of salt, saturated salt, mixed inside not to say, but also add some salt, as if it is the vegetable we use salt to pickle, generally with boiling water to burn to death after drying, called light whole worm, or light whole scorpion, no salt taste, then salt flavor is generally to bleach, remove the salt taste.
But now some people in order to seek this benefit, a pound of light whole scorpion can be processed into two or three pounds of salted whole scorpion, two or three times is salt, that as a decoction, sometimes open a 3 to 5 grams, there is no way to eat, it is full of salt, the taste is very salty, generally washed off or rinsed clean, so this quality is very poor.
Now there is even more, when this (whole scorpion) grows to catch, hungry for a few days without giving it food, and finally on the day when it is burned to death, put it into the cement slurry, then it is very hungry, it sucks a lot of cement slurry into this belly, and the result is that this belly is completely cement blocks, such medicinal materials are almost useless, let alone powder, that powder, this cement powder also eats into the stomach.
