Recently, the flu broke out. It is said that Fangfeng Tongsheng granules or Fangfeng Tongsheng pills are sold out in many places. So, what kind of prescription is this? Under what circumstances can it be applied? There is a saying in some places: "If you are sick or not, you can prevent wind and pass the sage." Is this true?
Well, let me introduce this recipe to you today!
This prescription was established by Liu Wansu, a master of Chinese medicine in the Jin and Yuan dynasties. Speaking of this Liu Wansu, he is a famous person in the field of Chinese medicine. He is also called Liu Hejian, because he mainly lives in the Hejian area of Hebei. At that time, when he was 25 years old, his mother was ill, and he asked for a doctor several times, but the doctor didn't come. As a result, his mother died at last, so he started to study medicine at the age of 25, and later became a generation of masters. The first of the four. He had a student named Jingshan Futu, and Jingshan Futu had a disciple named Luo Zhiti, who trained Zhu Danxi, the last of the Jin and Yuan Four Great Masters.
This Liu Wansu should be a master in the treatment of febrile diseases, and has a great influence on the febrile disease schools of later generations. After his prescriptions came out, they were widely used by everyone. In the clinical practice of doctors in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, they were everywhere. You can see the idea of this recipe.
This prescription uses the idea of double solution of the exterior and the interior, which has the effect of releasing the exterior and attacking the interior, sweating the exterior, dispelling wind and reducing fever. The symptom to be treated is coldness on the outside and heat on the inside, which is commonly called "cold-packed fire" by the common people, and it is also called both exterior and interior syndrome.
However, what we need to remember is that people who use this prescription must be people with sufficient righteousness. In the past, they were said to be physically strong, suffering from exogenous pathogenic factors, and entering a state of external cold and internal heat. The main symptoms at this time are aversion to cold, strong Fever, that is, fever, but no sweat, this is a symptom of superficiality, and it is the body's strong resistance to external cold.
At the same time, such people also have internal heat, so they will have bitter mouth, dry throat, and constipation. Everyone must remember that this prescription will cause dry stools and insufficient urination. If you are suffering from diarrhea or stools are not formed , this method cannot be used.
At this time, patients often have red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and rapid pulse.
In terms of medicine, the Fangfeng, Nepeta, and Ephedra in the prescription are all used to dispel external cold, while the mint, gardenia, forsythia, raw gypsum, and skullcap in the prescription are all used for Qinglire. It regulates the lung qi, and the rhubarb and mirabilite in the prescription can unblock the intestines, relieve heat and laxative, and talc can facilitate urination. The combination of the two can make the heat evil be discharged from the urine. In addition, peony, angelica, and Chuanxiong are added to the prescription, which nourish blood and strengthen the body, while Atractylodes is used to cultivate soil and generate gold, and it is combined with licorice to harmonize Chinese medicine. These medicines work together to produce sweat, dispel wind and reduce fever. In the original prescription, the dosage of strengthening the body is relatively small, so it is only to prevent the medicine for dispelling cold and clearing the heat from harming the body. Strictly speaking, this prescription has a strong power to dispel evil, and strengthening the body is just a combination.
The ancient Wu Kun explained this prescription in "Medical Prescription Kao" as follows:
"Fangfeng and Ephedra are medicines for treating the surface. If the wind-heat is on the skin, you can get it from the sweat; nepeta and mint are clearing medicines. If the wind-heat is on the top, you can get it from the nose; rhubarb. , Glauber's salt, tonic medicine, wind-heat in the intestines and stomach, get it to vent from the back; talc, gardenia, waterway medicine, wind-heat in the intestines, get it to vent by drowning. Wind in the diaphragm , the lung and stomach are affected by evil, gypsum, platycodon grandiflorum, clears the lung and stomach, and forsythia, scutellaria baicalensis, so it dispels the wandering fire of various meridians; the wind is afflicted, the liver wood dominates, Chuanxiong, Gui, peony, and liver blood also, And licorice and Baizhu harmonize stomach qi and invigorate the spleen. Liu Shouzhen is good at treating fire, and the purpose of this prescription is detailed and clear!"
Because when suffering from external cold, people often miss the initial stage of cold evil invasion. Therefore, when people start to find that they have a cold, they have actually entered the second stage of external cold and internal heat. This is the stage that people are most concerned about, so the application of this prescription was quite extensive in the past, so some places said: "If you are sick or not, Fangfeng Tongsheng".
However, I think there are few people with such a strong body nowadays, so the scope of application of Fangfeng Tongsheng should be less than in the past. It is not suitable for those who lack righteousness and suffer from sweating when they are exposed to the outside world. When applying it, everyone should pay attention to it. It is true that there is a cold outside and heat inside at the same time, and constipation is blocked. At this time, it is appropriate to use this prescription.
In modern times, this prescription is widely used. In Japanese pharmacies, this medicine is sold. Japanese people use it to lose weight. I think it must be used by people with heat knots, not everyone can use it. It loses weight, and some people use it to treat skin diseases, which is reasonable. It can evacuate the skin, clear away internal heat, and is indeed useful for some skin problems.
In my experience, some people have a red nose because they eat too much or eat a lot of spicy food at certain times. For this kind of disease, most of them are stagnation of the spleen and stomach, leading to stagnation and heat accumulation in the lungs. Between the stomach, so use this prescription, immediate results. I remember it very deeply. When I was studying, by the sink in the bathroom, everyone was washing their faces. I saw a classmate with a red nose, so I told him to take Fangfeng Tongsheng Wan quickly! As a result, after he took it, he happily told me that his nose healed soon. These classmates are now scattered all over the country, and I miss them very much.
Fangfeng Tongsheng San is a famous prescription, which has a good effect in the treatment of exogenous pathogenic factors. However, in some places, people rush to use the medicine. Once the flu comes, everyone spreads the rumor that a certain medicine works, so they all buy it and take it. is bad. I have explained this prescription clearly. In fact, if everyone understands it, they will know what kind of person and at what stage they take it. It must be used when the outside is cold and the inside is hot.
Therefore, there is no one medicine that all people can take at the same time. This is the principle of Chinese medicine.
