[Chinese Medicine] learning experience(80) Shengmaisan

The notes I compiled are based on the textbook "Prescriptions" of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and some prescriptions that I think are good. The prescriptions written are all my personal experience, and the analysis methods are mainly based on the six meridians and the viscera. I am not a medical professional, studying medicine is purely a hobby. It is normal if there are mistakes in the text.

【Indications】

1. Syndrome of warming and summer heat consuming qi and injuring yin. Excessive sweating, fatigue, fatigue, shortness of breath, laziness to speak, dry throat and thirst, dry red tongue with little moss, and weak pulse.

2. Prolonged cough hurts the lungs, deficiency of both qi and yin. Dry cough with little phlegm, shortness of breath and spontaneous sweating, dry mouth and tongue, weak and thready pulse.

Shengmaisan is also called Shengmaiyin, and it is currently sold as a Chinese patent medicine oral liquid. There are three versions of the first source of this prescription: "Qian Jin Fang", "The Origin of Medicine", and "Distinguishing Puzzles from Internal and External Injuries". I haven't researched it, but I think it comes from Sun Simiao's "Qian Jin Fang". Who gave him the "King of Medicine" buff?

This prescription is mainly used to treat Qi and Jin deficiency syndrome, and its main effect is on the heart and lungs. Ginseng nourishes vitality, Ophiopogon japonicus nourishes the yin of the heart, lung and stomach, and Schisandra enters the five internal organs, which has the effect of nourishing yin and restraining yin. Although the medicine has three flavors, but the combination is precise, it can be "supplemented, melted, and retained."

Whether the king drug of this prescription is ginseng or Ophiopogon japonicus has always been controversial. I personally prefer ginseng as the king.

Shengmaisan was originally used to treat Qi and Tianjin injuries caused by summer heat, but modern doctors have discovered that it has an effective rate of more than 90% in the treatment of "pulmonary heart disease". It should be noted that Shengmai Yin has a significant effect on raising blood pressure, and it is extremely effective in treating hypotension. It is easy to raise 10-15 Hg. Therefore, when using this prescription, be sure to ask the patient about his usual blood pressure, and remember it. For doctors with high flexibility in thinking, this side effect can be eliminated through syndrome differentiation and compatibility when using decoction clinically, and some people even use Shengmaisan to treat high blood pressure after adding or subtracting it. It was also reported that a very small number of people developed jaundice after taking Shengmaisan.
