Qin Bowei, a famous doctor in modern times, once said: "The ointment covers the decoction and becomes fat liquid, so those who are slow and weak in nourishing the internal organs are also called ointment to nourish medicine."
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing wrote in the Notes on Materia Medica: "All cream prescriptions are made of bitter wine at the beginning, so that it overflows, but it doesn't juice after pouring, and the cover is tight. It's about a week when it's cloudy. From then on to Mindan, some people stopped for one night. Boil the cream three times to relieve anxiety and make the medicine taste. " The preparation steps of the cream were described in detail.
After Sui and Tang Dynasties, the number of ointment prescriptions recorded in medical classics increased obviously. For example, there are many kinds of ointments in Sun Simiao's "Prepare for a Thousand Women" and "A Thousand Women's Wings" in the early Tang Dynasty, such as black ointment (for treating warm spots), medlar soup (for treating fatigue and fever), black fan ointment (for treating throat obstruction) and Mufangji ointment (for treating postpartum stroke).
Judging from the composition of the ointment, there are not only four or five small prescriptions, but also more than ten or twenty kinds of generous prescriptions of Chinese medicine. The increase of prescription drugs shows that the indications of ointment have become more and more complicated. In the Song Dynasty, the production of its paste was also different from before, but most of them were decocted with some drugs, and some drugs were ground into powder, and there were different treatment methods, such as frying first and then pouring. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the processing methods and classification of drugs are more detailed.
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development of ointment has also entered a mature stage. During this period, "Gao Zi" and "Gao" became the proper names of Gao Fang, and "Decoction" only referred to decoction. Moreover, there are many kinds of ointment, such as more than 70 kinds of ointment recorded in Puji Prescription, the largest existing ointment book in China, involving internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and so on. Moreover, during this period, according to the dialectical application of patients' physique and diseases, individualized cream treatment appeared.
In modern society, people pay more and more attention to health care, and their understanding of ointment is getting deeper and deeper, and the demand is increasing year by year, making ointment a bright pearl in health care culture.
Folk people have the habit of tonic in winter, and there is a saying that "tonic in winter has skills, and the tiger can be killed in the next spring." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that winter tonic is closely related to balancing yin and yang, dredging meridians and harmonizing qi and blood.
Who is suitable for taking cream?
There are four main types of people taking this oral cream:
0 1
Sick man
People with chronic diseases, long-term physical weakness is to enhance physical fitness or consolidate curative effect.
Clinically, in the winter season, we can combine the characteristics of its onset, supplement and treat it, and regulate it through ointment, replenish its deficiency and diarrhea, restore the balance of yin and yang, finally reduce the number of recurrences, relieve the symptoms of patients and improve the quality of life of patients. Not only patients with internal medicine diseases can take it, but also patients with gynecological, pediatric, surgical, orthopedic and ENT diseases can take it.
02
Subhealthy person
People who usually have no chronic diseases, but are prone to colds, long-term fatigue or heavy pressure are weak, lacking in physical strength and energy, and are not competent for intense and complicated work.
The cream is based on tonifying, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens, treating diseases, regulating the balance of yin and yang, correcting sub-health state, and restoring the human body to the best state.
Sub-health state is classified according to TCM syndrome differentiation, including qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yang deficiency, deficiency of both qi and yin, deficiency of both yin and yang, etc., which need to be supplemented by syndrome differentiation. For patients with qi deficiency, ginseng, astragalus and atractylodes macrocephala can be used to make ointment; People with blood deficiency can choose Chinese angelica, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Colla Corii Asini and other blood-enriching drugs to make ointment. Therefore, when sub-health patients choose the cream, they should take TCM syndrome differentiation as the principle and choose drugs to supplement it.
03
Recovered person
Such as postoperative, bleeding, serious illness and postpartum weakness.
On the one hand, postoperative patients are caused by primary disease; On the other hand, due to blood loss during operation, "Qi goes with blood", which leads to deficiency of both qi and blood, consumption during operation or fasting after operation, and patients often suffer from loss of body fluid.
If there is no reasonable adjustment, the body will recover slowly, and if some nourishing cream is properly applied, it will promote its rapid recovery.
For another example, in the process of delivery, women hold their breath and lose blood, which consumes a lot of physical strength and blood. They often have symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, backache, weakness of limbs, palpitation, thin tongue and weak pulse, so they are called "postpartum collapse". However, it is necessary to distinguish between deficiency and excess according to symptoms, and it cannot be thought that postpartum deficiency of qi and blood will make up for it.
04
Special population
Children, women, the elderly, pregnant women and some teenagers. Such as children with chronic cough, anorexia and anemia; Women should stay in beauty and fight aging; Old people with qi and blood decline, lack of energy and low viscera function.
With the increase of age, the function of zang-fu organs declines, yin and yang are deficient in qi and blood, and the disease resistance declines. Dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, tooth trembling, insomnia, mental fatigue and other symptoms of senile asthenia are obvious. At this time, conditioning with ointment is helpful to restore the function of viscera, tonify the deficiency of both yin and yang, reduce the occurrence of senile diseases, improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions and improve the quality of life.
For children, the physiological characteristics of children are called "naive yin and yang" and "pure yang body" in traditional Chinese medicine. So sometimes children have poor resistance to diseases. Qian Yi, a pediatrician in Song Dynasty, once summed up that "viscera are soft, easy to be deficient and easy to be solid, and easy to be cold and hot". Ointment, as one of the traditional Chinese medicine formulations, has a good taste and is easily accepted by children. However, according to the physiological and pathological characteristics of children, according to deficiency, rational use of drugs, not when growing up.
Generally speaking, the choice of cream varies from person to person, from man to man, from woman to woman, from old to young. Jinan Dujunkang Chinese Medicine Clinic adheres to the principle of "one person, one party", strictly abides by the ointment formula, and selects and processes the materials by hand to ensure the quality of the ointment.
