The theory of cerebral congestion originated from westerners, but my humble opinion, Liu Heng, sneered that Chinese medicine did not know about this disease, and he had never read Neijing in his life. After reading Neijing, there is a saying that "Qi and blood are in parallel, then syncope, then syncope will suddenly die, and qi will be adverse, but otherwise it will die". Is this the evidence of so-called western brain congestion? Different people, westerners say congestion, while Neijing says qi and blood are parallel. It is a certain principle that the blood cap will rise with qi. Westerners not only dissect diseases, but also fill their brains with blood, but they don't know that they need ideals to supplement them in order to reach the root of the disease, so they are called cerebral congestion. According to the so-called "qi goes against life, but not dies" in Neijing, it is said that this syndrome is getting better, and its qi is extremely high, and then it goes down, so the blood filled in the brain should also go down, so it can be born; If the qi goes up instead of going against it, the blood will be full, the blood vessels in the brain will rupture and people will die. In Neijing, there are also some symptoms of cerebral congestion, such as "the head swells due to the syncope of juyang, and the head can't move, so it's a servant", "the syncope of Yangming leads to red face and false words" and "the syncope of shaoyang leads to sudden deafness and swollen cheeks". Qin Yueren's treatment of Prince Guo's corpse syncope, saying that "there is a collateral that extinguishes Yang in the upper part and a button that breaks Yin in the lower part", is also a symptom of cerebral congestion. In particular, the ancients were concise, but they studied the source of the disease in detail, not detailed treatment. However, since we know the cause, it is not difficult to make our own treatment plan. Fools have treated a lot of this syndrome in their lives, and the cure is usually mild cerebral congestion, so that blood vessels will not rupture. Here are a few cases for the reference of people who treat this syndrome.
Ceng Zhi, a native of Fengtian, is nearly 50. Because of the unfavorable situation and hard work, I gradually felt headache, and my daily immersion intensified, and my medication was ineffective. I was admitted to the West Hospital. After ten days of treatment, the headache did not decrease, which in turn aggravated eye pain. A few days later, my eyes became blurred and I couldn't see clearly. Come to the hospital for medical extension. The left part of his pulse is long and powerful. He said that his brain hurts his eyes, and his eyes hurt his brain. He felt dizzy and embarrassed. Pulse condition combined with reference shows that the fire of liver and gallbladder carries qi and blood to the brain, and the blood vessels in the brain swell due to impulse, pretending to be painful; The eyes are connected to the brain, and the blood vessels in the brain are constantly expanding, so the eyes are sore and dizzy. Because Xiao Zhi said, "This cerebral congestion syndrome is also. In-depth examination of the etiology of this syndrome, brain pain is the root of eye pain; The fire of the liver and gallbladder is the root of brain pain. If you want to treat this syndrome, it is not difficult to treat it as long as you clear the fire and calm the liver and draw blood downwards. " Therefore, the prescription is sparse, one or two Achyranthes bidentata, six yuan each for raw Paeonia lactiflora, raw Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, raw oyster and raw ochre, four yuan each for Radix Scrophulariae and Fructus Toosendan, two yuan for Radix Gentianae San Qian and Glycyrrhrizae Radix, grinding rust into powder, and decocting in strong water. After taking a dose, I felt that my head pain was relieved and my dizziness was gone. That is, the general plan is to add and subtract and take two doses. Headache and eye pain have all been cured, and things are more real. Nebula is an external obstacle, so it must be treated externally. In order to make a bottle of medicine for grinding nebula, apply it five or six times a day and gradually eliminate it.
A 64-year-old man treated in Cangzhou felt headache ten days ago because he was depressed, so he didn't care. One morning, I suddenly fell to the ground. If I fainted, I woke up and my left hand couldn't move. I had a terrible headache. The doctor gave the medicine for clearing away fire and dredging collaterals, and at the same time, Chen Xun, the minister of French king, gave the meaning of tonifying yang and returning five soups, and increased the amount of money. After taking it, he felt more pain in his brain, which was unbearable for a while. For diagnosis, the left chord length and right overtone length of the pulse are very heavy. Asking about his heart, I feel feverish. His family said that he was a vegetarian alcoholic, and he was depressed recently, so he used shochu to drown his sorrows. When he is hungry, he always replaces rice with wine. Foolish, this syndrome is a drama of cerebral congestion, and its left pulse is long, and it is also hot with regret. The right pulse is long, and the wine accumulates and produces heat. Two kinds of heat merge, carrying qi and blood of viscera to the brain. If the blood vessels in the brain rupture due to excessive impulse, the person will faint and never wake up. Fortunately, when he wakes up, the blood vessels in his brain will not rupture. Or the blood vessels in the tube ooze, or there are few gaps in the blood vessels, and the bleeding will be stopped in a little bit. The blood that flowed out clung to the nerves of consciousness, and then the spirit fainted; If you are attached to the nerve of movement, you will be weak. The left side of this syndrome is withered, and the blood flowing from the blood vessels in the brain will hurt the nerves moving on the right side of the brain.
The doctor didn't know the cause, but he took medicine to treat qi deficiency and dryness. Can the rise of Huang Zhi supplement this syndrome? Therefore, headache after taking medicine is also beneficial. Therefore, it is a sparse party, just like before. Because its right pulse is yif, one or two pieces of gypsum are added to the prescription, and the medicine is also rusted and decocted in water. After taking two doses, the headache was completely cured, the pulse was calm, and the left hand and feet could move autonomously. So I changed it to five yuan each for Angelica sinensis, ochre, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Radix Scrophulariae and Radix Asparagi, five yuan each for yellow, frankincense and myrrh, and one yuan for safflower. After taking several doses, it means that crutches will do. Those who use safflower in the prescription want to melt blood stasis in the brain. At this time, the pulse is calm and the headache is no longer painful, so Huang Zhi can be used to warm it. Therefore, San Qian is seldom used in the prescription to supplement the vital qi, which is helpful for promoting the circulation of qi, eliminating phlegm, promoting lactation and promoting blood circulation, and can also regulate the coldness of Radix Scrophulariae and Radix Asparagi, so that it can be taken more often.
The two cases mentioned above used almost the same medicine, but they all used Achyranthes bidentata as the main medicine, and sincerely regarded Achyranthes bidentata as a wonderful flower for treating cerebral congestion. This fool didn't know until after repeated experiments, so he dared to pay tribute to all medical circles. The treatment of this syndrome, especially Achyranthes bidentata, is the best.
