In the summer, there is a category of people who are easily "on fire", acne on the face, mouth ulcers, upset, insomnia and dreams... However, he obviously felt that he was on fire, but he had loose stools, long urine, and cold in the area below the waist. The whole body is completely the double heaven of ice and fire.
In fact, this is the common cold and heat mixture in our Chinese medicine, that is, there is both cold and heat in the human body, and the upper body part is manifested as a symptom of heat, and the lower body is manifested as a symptom of cold, also known as "upper heat and lower cold", which is the most common type of cold and heat mixture.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > why is there "hot and cold"? </h1>
As we all know, whether it is nature or our human body, we pay attention to balance. If the yin and yang in the human body are balanced, they are healthy, but when the balance state is broken, it becomes a pathological state, and the upper heat and lower cold are one of the states in which the balance is destroyed.
In the medicine of the motherland, successive generations of physicians have divided the human body into three parts: upper focus, middle focus and lower focus, of which the upper focus mainly refers to the heart and lungs, the middle focus refers to the spleen and stomach, and the lower focus refers to the kidney. The yin and yang qi of each organ rises and falls in an orderly manner, and the yin and yang are in a balanced state.
If the yang qi in the kidney is insufficient, the only little yang qi left has nowhere to hide, it will go up, that is, "floating yang on the yue"; or the liver is depressed and the fire is dissolved, resulting in excessive yang heat; or the heart fire cannot be lowered normally to balance the kidney water, which can lead to an imbalance between the upper and lower yin and yang, which is manifested as upper and lower heat and cold.
This is like when we steam a steamed bun, the fire in the stove is small, the cold water in the pot cannot boil, and without steam, the steamed bun in the steamer will be dehydrated and cracked due to the lack of steam for a long time. As the "Theory of the Origin of Diseases" said: "Yang qi is hot on the top, and yin qi is cold on the bottom", in the final analysis, the key lies in the separation of yin and yang in the body, one up, one up, yang, and yin.
"Upper fever" is mostly manifested as dizziness, headache, facial acne, repeated mouth ulcers or lingering, nasal fever, hot sweating, poor sleep, dreams, easy to wake up, tinnitus, palpitations, upset, stomach swelling, chest tightness, tongue redness and so on.
"Lower cold" is mainly manifested as loose stool or unformed, cold intolerance, long urine, thin vaginal discharge, dysmenorrhea, cold abdomen, delayed menstruation, dark red blood, cold below the waist and other symptoms.
In addition, the overall symptoms of some patients are often complex and contradictory, such as the heart is hot and wants to eat cold food, but after eating, the stomach and abdomen are painful and uncomfortable, or even the gas is loose. Therefore, in the actual conditioning, it should be combined with the actual situation of the individual and treated with the evidence.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > clear the temperature down, make up the middle of the gas, flatten the cold and heat! </h1>
The "Su Qing Zhi Zhi Zhi Da Ren" points out: "Keep the sick machine, each according to its own subordinates, if there is something to ask for, if there is nothing, it is sought, the rich are responsible, and the false are responsible." Five victories will be won first, and their flesh will be drained, and their disposition will be brought to peace. "It is pointed out that for the upper heat and lower cold evidence, it should be divided up and down, the upper coke is hot, then the cool is clear, the middle and lower scorch is cold, it is warm and warm, the overall grasp, the upper temperature is cleared, the middle is adjusted, and the cold and heat are flattened.
Clinically, huanglian soup is often used for subtraction and conditioning. The "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" records that "typhoid fever, heat in the chest, evil qi in the stomach, pain in the abdomen, those who want to vomit, huanglian soup lord", this formula is mostly used to calm the cold and heat, and stomach to reduce rebellion.
The party is composed of huanglian, licorice, hot dried ginger, guizhi, peeled ginseng, half summer, jujube, fangzhong huanglian qing scorched chest and diaphragm; guizhi tongyang scattered cold, xuantong up and down; "typhoid fever through the pearl collection" pointed out that "with the bitter cold of huanglian, to cure the heat; the sweet temperature of the guizhi, to go down the cold, up and down, the rise and fall is the restoration", huanglian and guizhi are the key medicines of the party. In addition, Fangzhong dried ginger is warm and cold; half summer is reversed and stomach anti-nausea; and more ginseng, hot licorice, jujube sweet temperature and qi, running pivot. It makes the human body qi machine unobstructed, the upper and lower yin and yang are harmonious, and the cold and heat are self-eliminating.
Modern medical research has also shown that Huanglian soup can be widely used in many digestive diseases such as chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, bile reflux gastritis, etc., and has good clinical efficacy.
It should be noted that the treatment of upper heat and lower cold needs to be done at the same time to clear heat and dispel cold, so it is not possible to use traditional Chinese medicine alone to clear heat or nourish. Moreover, different people, the severity of cold and fever is different, if blind medication, it is easy to lead to aggravation of the disease.
For example, the patient Ms. Sun, 42 years old, usually cold legs, listened to the exaggerated propaganda of others last summer, moxibustion in February, there were repeated hiccups, accompanied by palpitations, chest tightness and panic. Before the consultation, there were no obvious abnormalities in the blood routine, fasting blood glucose, 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram, gastroscopy, etc. in the nearby hospital. According to its description, there was "cold pain in the abdomen" before, and the symptoms worsened by taking cloves, appendages, cannon ginger, evodia and other hot products such as sulpa. There is often a feeling of falling in the heart, sullen and unhappy. In the evening, I felt that my hands and siblings were hot, my lips were dry and peeling, my upper lips were swollen, my five were upset and hot, my stomach was cold and painful when I ate cold drinks, and my burps intensified. Restless at night, dry cough after falling asleep. Looking at its tongue, the tongue is light and tender, and the tip of the tongue is red.
Therefore, the dialectic is a mixture of cold and heat, and the yellow liantang is added and subtracted: ginger half summer, huanglian, jiao gardenia, guizhi, poria, hot licorice, jujube, melon peel, citrus shell, platycodon, crane grass, almond, cypress kernel, sour jujube kernel, raw dragon bone, raw oyster, magnolia. 7 doses, decoction, one dose a day, morning and evening.
In this case, the cold and heat were flattened with huanglian soup and the stomach was used to lower the reverse. Add gardenia to clear the heat in the chest; magnolia and stomach to lower the reverse, so that the cold and heat are harmonized, the middle is scorched, the yin and yang rise and fall again, and the pain is self-healing. And use poria, melon peel, citrus shell, orange stem, almond to straighten the yang qi in the chest. Sour jujube kernels, cypress kernels, raw dragon oysters, and crane grass calm the mind and calm the palpitations, converging on the floating sun. Burning licorice root and jujube take care of stomach qi and reconcile various medicines.
