Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney water deficiency leads to heart-kidney disharmony. Why do you say that? Because the heart governs fire, the fire is in the upper energizer of the human body, and the kidney governs water, and the water is in the lower energizer of the human body. The heart fire goes down to warm the kidney water, and the kidney water goes up to restrict the heart fire, so that the heart and kidney are in harmony, and the kidney water will not be too cold and the heart fire will not be too prosperous. If the kidney yin is insufficient, the kidney water will not be enough, and it will be impossible to rush up and reduce the heart fire. In this way, the body will show some pathological phenomena such as irritability, insomnia, dreaminess and sweating. What should I do? Of course, it is necessary to tonify the heart and kidney. The intersection of heart and kidney is a key step.
Let's take a look at this rehmannia root first. Everyone should know that it is a good medicine for nourishing yin blindly. When it enters the kidney meridian, the color of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata is black, and so is the kidney. Therefore, it is a medicinal material that blindly enters the kidney. Its warm nature can nourish kidney yin and clear away heat and toxic materials.
Let kidney water go up, but also need to rely on the gasification function of kidney yang to promote. At this time, we need to use our cinnamon to warm and tonify kidney yang, which can not only supplement Yang Qi, but also promote Yang Qi. Under the impetus of kidney yang, kidney water can go up. As we said before, cinnamon can play the role of igniting fire, and at the same time, it can lead the heart fire down, so that the heart and kidney can reach the state of fire and water ji ji.
Then, add Coptidis Rhizoma. As we all know, it tastes bitter, but it is precisely because of its bitterness that it can clear away heat and detoxify. This product enters the heart meridian and is slightly cold, which can clear the heart and fire.
Finally, ginseng was used. Ginseng is familiar to everyone. Everyone must have heard of it before eating. It is a good medicine for invigorating qi. It can make up for the loss of body fluid and empty qi.
Four kinds of medicines are matched together. First, Rehmannia glutinosa is used to tonify kidney yin, then coptis root is used to purge heart fire, combined with cinnamon, so that the body is in a state of intersection of fire and water, and finally ginseng is used to supplement the body's loss of qi. It is a simple prescription for some people who are fidgety, sweaty, insomnia and dreamy due to heart and kidney failure. If you have such a person around you to collect, ask for TCM syndrome differentiation.
