In life, some people are often in a trance, feeling sad, crying, uncontrollable, upset, restless sleep and yawning repeatedly, especially women, which is called dirty and dry syndrome by Chinese medicine.

The cause of dirty dryness is due to excessive anxiety, damage of heart yin and loss of liver qi, which leads to dysfunction of five internal organs.

The dialectical point of dirty dryness syndrome is that it is often sad to cry, uncontrollable and in a trance.

In Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, there is a prescription with only three commonly used drugs, which is called Ganmai Jujube Decoction. That's what the original text says. "Women hide their impatience and like to be sad and want to cry, as if they were made by God. Sweet wheat and jujube soup is the main ingredient, three or two licorice, one liter of wheat, ten jujubes, three flavors on the right, six liters of water, three liters of boiling, and three warm portions. "

There are only three kinds of herbs in Fang Yaozhong, licorice, wheat and jujube, which are very common and easy to get. Why can Ganmai Jujube Decoction treat this seemingly complicated disease of dirty dryness? Classical prescriptions pay attention to the simplicity of drugs, so these three drugs have their own strengths.

As we said before, the pathological pathogenesis of the syndrome of dirty dryness is deficiency of heart yin and loss of liver qi. Deficiency of heart yin, loss of support for the heart, so there are symptoms such as trance, restless sleep and upset mood; If the liver-qi is not harmonious, it will lead to sadness, uncontrollable crying, or inconsistency between words and deeds.

Fang Jie: Wheat in Fang Yaozhong is sweet and cool, belonging to liver meridian and heart meridian. It can nourish the heart yin, benefit the heart qi, calm the nerves and be a monarch drug. Licorice. It is a ministerial medicine for invigorating the heart and harmonizing the urgent need. Jujube and moistening dryness and benefiting qi. The combination of the three medicines nourishes the heart and liver, so that the heart is full of qi and yin, the liver is harmonious, and the dirty dryness resolves itself. The whole prescription has the effects of nourishing the heart, calming the nerves, and regulating middle-urgency.
