This time the flu is coming, I have been talking about it for the past few days, because I have seen too many people have been caught, and the statistics of the Beijing Health and Family Planning Commission said that the current flu incidence rate is higher than that of the same period last year The incidence of influenza in the United States has also doubled in the same period last year, and some friends also checked overseas data, which shows how fierce it is.
A few days ago, I said that when the symptoms appeared in the body, you can use Huaiyam to deal with them. Many friends said that they seemed to have a sore throat when they came up, and there was no external cold stage. The experience is not enough, if you experience it carefully every time, you will find this first stage: the cold stage. However, sometimes this stage is very short, half a day and a day passes.
If you can grasp the first stage, I think you can basically solve the problem with Huai Yam, with few exceptions.
However, if the first stage is not caught, the external pathogens start to enter the body, resulting in fever, sore throat, body aches, fever, and yellow phlegm, what should I do?
Today, let's talk about this sore throat problem.
In fact, in Chinese medicine, the "pharynx" and "throat" are two completely different positions, and everyone should understand it. According to the position, the throat is at the bottom and at the front, which is what we call the "Adam's apple". In winter, if the cold wind blows here, the throat will suddenly swell and hurt. In severe cases, the throat will edema, leading to suffocation and even death. This kind of situation will occur in the north. The specific prescription is to use the Danzhi Sheyu Decoction prepared by Geng Jianting, a master of laryngology, which I mentioned, and it will be cured after one or two doses. As for the pharynx, the position is at the top and at the back, and the heat knot is mostly manifested as red and swollen tonsils. When swallowing saliva, you will feel pain at the back of the mouth and the place where it connects with the nasal cavity. For our common people, this is inflammation of the tonsils. This kind of tonsillitis is often a consequence of influenza.
In fact, the flu virus itself does not cause sore throat. Only when the virus infection causes physical disorders and bacterial infection occurs, sore throat will appear.
A combination of viral and bacterial infections can complicate flu. Originally, influenza does not require antibiotics, but if it is accompanied by bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used in severe cases.
At this time, Chinese medicine practitioners also have their own methods, which are very effective. If applied properly, the condition can be relieved immediately.
A few days ago, my mother also had the flu. I had prepared Chinese yam powder for the old man, but at the first time, the old man couldn’t remember it, so after two or three days of sneezing, the throat appeared swollen In the case of pain, the left tonsil hurts badly.
I am very worried about this, because the old man's small problems, a little carelessness, will cause big troubles. At that time, my mother said that she had a very bad throat pain at night, and she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she got up, gave herself acupuncture, and got a few needles, but it still didn't relieve the next day, which shows that the evil is coming.
But she didn't tell me about it, saying that she was afraid of affecting me. I just went to visit my parents and found this problem, so I immediately took the medicine, which is my usual detoxification prescription, Li Dongyuan's Puji Disinfectant Drink. Tell my mother to take only one pair, don't use too much, one pair will be good.
The mother took it that night, and the pain in the throat disappeared the next day without any complaints.
So why is this recipe so effective?
This prescription was created by Li Dongyuan, a master of traditional Chinese medicine in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. At that time, the plague was prevalent, and the specific symptom was swelling of the head and face. Cold body weight, head and face swollen, can't open eyes, wheezing, throat discomfort, dry tongue, dry mouth, as the saying goes, the common people were very sick at that time, "relatives did not visit each other", and there was no relationship between relatives. Dare to visit each other, get infected, and most of them die.
In order to treat the epidemic plague, Li Dongyuan created this Puji antiseptic drink, "then take this prescription and take it for a cure". The curative effect is very good. Since then, this prescription has been spread all over the world, and it is engraved on the stone tablet at the intersection of traffic. The people call it "Xianfang".
The approximate weight of the original book of this recipe is as follows:
15 grams of skullcap, 15 grams of berberine, 6 grams of tangerine peel, 6 grams of licorice, 6 grams of scrophulariaceae, 6 grams of Bupleurum, 6 grams of platycodon, 3 grams of forsythia, 3 grams of isatidis, 3 grams of puffballs, 3 grams of burdock, mint 3 grams, 2 grams of silkworm, 2 grams of Cimicifuga.
For this flu, if there is throat swelling and pain, that is to say, severe tonsil swelling and pain, under normal circumstances, it can be treated with Chinese patent medicines such as Pudilan Oral Liquid and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid. However, if the throat is swollen and painful, we judge that it will cause serious consequences, such as the elderly, or the pain is unbearable, I think the dosage of Puji Xiaoxiao Decoction can be changed to:
12 grams of skullcap, 6 grams of coptis, 6 grams of tangerine peel, 6 grams of licorice, 9 grams of scrophulariaceae, 6 grams of Bupleurum, 6 grams of platycodon, 15 grams of forsythia, 9 grams of isatidis, 6 grams of puffball, 9 grams of burdock, mint 6 grams, 9 grams of silkworm, 3 grams of Cimicifuga. Generally, one pair is enough, pregnant women should not take it.
In this prescription, puffballs are not available in many pharmacies. If you really can’t catch them, it’s no problem to remove them. The prescription I gave my mother this time also doesn’t contain puffballs.
This recipe, Li Dongyuan himself roughly explained it like this:
Scutellaria baicalensis and Coptis chinensis are used to taste bitter and cold, and relieve the heat between the heart and lungs, which is regarded as the king; Banlan root is bitter and cold, puffball and white silkworm are bitter and flat, and they are used to relieve swelling and sterilize and relieve asthma; Cimicifuga and Bupleurum are bitter and flat, and the yang energy of the two meridians of Shaoyang and Yangming cannot be stretched; platycodon grandiflorum is pungent and warm. Downlink, for loading also.
In ancient times, this side was used to treat Datou plague. Now, it can be used for reference to treat all kinds of heat-toxin stagnation in the upper burner. Symptoms are aversion to cold and fever, redness and burning pain on the head and face, unable to open the eyes, bad throat, dry tongue, red tongue with white and yellow coating, floating and rapid pulse strong case. Now this prescription is often used for erysipelas, mumps, acute tonsillitis, severe respiratory infection, lymphadenitis with lymphatic reflux disorder, etc., which are caused by wind-heat evil poison.
Under normal circumstances, for severe throat swelling and pain caused by influenza, I think one pair should be enough, and there is no need to use more. You can drink a small bowl each time, three times a day, take it after meals, and the pain in the throat will be relieved, and you can change to other Chinese patent medicines to deal with the aftermath.
A few years ago, I once used this prescription as an emergency and relieved myself of a problem. At that time, I walked through several cities with severe smog, and one day I suddenly felt a sore throat. Because of the lectures, I couldn't take care of it, and I couldn't take medicine. As a result, when I woke up the next morning, I found that my pharynx was severely swollen, and my whole upper body was extremely uncomfortable. It seems that I also won the bid. At that time, my throat was swollen and painful, and it was difficult to speak hoarsely. There was still a class to be taught that afternoon, and I wondered whether to call to inform the class to be suspended. what to do? In fact, there was no way to inform everyone at that time, so I grabbed Puji disinfection drink in the morning. It was good to drink once, but it was still difficult to talk in the morning, so I brought a large cup to the classroom ahead of time. When I saw the staff, my throat was still a little hard, so I kept drinking. Two hours later, my voice gradually opened up, and I was able to give lectures normally, and my throat was basically relieved after class. I posted on Weibo at that time, saying: "Thank you Dong Yuan for setting up this good method!"
This kind of experience is very painful, I don't want to have a second time, but this time also made me deeply appreciate the strength of this side.
This prescription is actually widely used in the field of Chinese medicine, and many Chinese medicine practitioners will refer to this prescription when treating exogenous diseases. When many Chinese medicine doctors treat exogenous fever, they will disassemble this formula and combine it according to their own ideas. This formula provides us with ideas for treatment. When encountering symptoms, it will also be used according to the original prescription.
But everyone should remember that this prescription must be used when there is heat, because the prescription contains cold and cool medicines, and people with yang deficiency should use it with caution. And after using this prescription, once the heat poison is removed, it is necessary to change to other mild prescriptions, and such cold and cool prescriptions cannot be used for a long time.
In my experience, now that exogenous evils are becoming more and more prevalent, there will be more and more cases of congested heat and toxins. If you encounter patients with severe upper burns, persistent high fever, red and swollen throat, severe upper respiratory tract infection, and yellow phlegm, The tongue is red and the coating is yellow, the pulse beats fast, and the conventional methods are ineffective. When the situation is stalemate, you can consider Li Dongyuan's Puji antiseptic drink. This prescription is a classic combination. recover.
During flu, if it causes congestion of heat and toxins in the throat, if the condition is serious and painful, you can also use this prescription to reverse the situation, usually just one pair.
In the flu season, many families are sick one after another, and many kindergartens and schools are absent one after another. At this time, we should learn more about some ancient Chinese medicine methods. Many methods are so effective, which can greatly improve Reduce the pressure on medical units, and we ourselves will suffer less from illness.
