How should this cold with internal heat and external cold be treated? In the program, Professor Zhou Ping-an, a famous Chinese medicine fever expert, chief expert of Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and doctoral supervisor, said that the effect of his "cold mixture" was amazing, and most patients with cold and fever could be cured in three doses. "Ganmao Mixture" is composed of twelve traditional Chinese medicines, including Herba Ephedrae, Gypsum Fibrosum, Radix Bupleuri, Scutellariae Radix, Radix Isatidis, Flos Lonicerae, Notopterygii Rhizoma, Folium Perillae, etc. It has the effects of dispersing exterior cold and clearing interior heat.
Seeing this, Lao Zhao immediately copied the prescription of "cold mixture" with paper and pen. Unfortunately, the prescription flashed on the TV screen was not completely copied down. Moreover, the original prescription was composed of twelve kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, but only the above eight kinds were introduced in the program, and the other four kinds were missing. Since we really want to benefit the public, wouldn't it be more successful to publish it all?
After watching the program, Lao Zhao has been thinking about what twelve kinds of Chinese medicines are in this "cold mixture" prescription. Looking through books and materials, I didn't sleep for almost a night, and finally found the source of the prescription, mainly Maxingshi Dry Decoction, Chaigejijie Decoction and Fang Jing Baidu Powder, and added and subtracted drugs with symptoms such as cough and sore throat.
1. Maxingshi dry soup consists of 6 grams of ephedra, 9 grams of almonds, 24 grams of gypsum and 6 grams of licorice. Function: pungent and cool, laxative, clearing lung-heat and relieving asthma. Indications: exogenous wind and heat, or wind and cold blocking heat, stagnation in the lungs, cough, shortness of breath, itchy nose, thirst, persistent high fever, white or yellow tongue coating, and slippery pulse.
2. Chaigejijie Decoction consists of 6 grams of Bupleurum, 9 grams of Radix Puerariae, 3 grams of Radix Glycyrrhizae, 6 grams of Scutellariae Radix, 3 grams of Notopterygium Rhizoma, 3 grams of Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, 6 grams of Radix Paeoniae Alba and 3 grams of Radix Platycodi. Function: relaxing muscles and clearing heat. Indications: exogenous wind-cold and depressed heat syndrome. The aversion to cold is getting lighter, body heat is getting stronger, anhidrosis, headache, eye pain, dry nose, irritability, insomnia, dry throat, deafness, eye socket pain, thin yellow tongue coating and reddish pulse.
3. Jingfangbaidu Powder is composed of Schizonepeta tenuifolia, Saposhnikovia divaricata, ginger, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Bupleuri Radix, Radix Peucedani, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Fructus Aurantii, Poria, Radix Platycodi 65,438+05g each, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis 5g. Function: Dispelling cold, relieving exterior syndrome and eliminating dampness. Indications: The flu starts at first, common cold and other symptoms, aversion to cold and fever, anhidrosis, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, white and greasy tongue coating, and floating or rapid pulse.
Based on the above three prescriptions and commonly used drugs for treating colds, Lao Zhao personally thinks that the formula of Professor An's "Cold Mixture" should be: roasted ephedra 5g, almond 10g, gypsum 30g (decocted first), licorice 6g, scutellaria 6g, Bupleurum 6g, Notopterygium 6g, Saposhnikovia divaricata 10g, and Radix Isatidis 12.
The above are personal opinions, for reference only, and it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. However, as stated in "Liu Taiyi's Enlightenment on Health Care", Lao Zhao is very opposed to going to the hospital as soon as he is sick, and infusion as soon as he arrives at the hospital. It is most important to pay attention to health preservation and keep physical and mental health. It's a pity that I'm sick, so I can't even take some Chinese medicine, let alone infusion easily.
Prevention of disease is the fundamental premise of treatment, and strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil is the basic idea of treatment. For example, to treat exogenous high fever, if you don't strengthen your body and only reduce your fever, you may be injured and lead to deficiency, and your illness will go on. Therefore, while treating acute high fever, we should first strengthen the body's resistance, and at the same time pay attention to giving way to evil spirits. One is to remove evil spirits, the other is to clear the internal heat, and use heat-clearing drugs to relieve summer heat, and the third is to purge the fire, so that the fire evil can be purged out. In this way, heat evil has a way out, healthy qi is not damaged, the curative effect is naturally good, and the harm to the body is minimal.
So, why is it easy to catch a cold in winter? According to the theory of harmony between man and nature, five movements and six qi in traditional Chinese medicine, the climatic environment in northern areas such as Beijing and Tianjin is analyzed, that is, the indoor temperature is high, the outdoor temperature is cold and the temperature difference is large. People live indoors for a long time. In a warmer environment, the pores are open, while the outdoor temperature is low, so it is bound to catch cold. Under such circumstances, patients with colds in the north are characterized by internal heat plus external cold, forming a phenomenon of "cold enveloping fire". Just like the Sui Dynasty's "On Staging of Pathogenic Factors and Staging of Qi Diseases": People who are sick at the time of marriage are all grumpy because of age differences, lack of integrity.
Finally, it introduces the syndrome differentiation of common cold, wind-heat and summer-dampness, and two treatments for preventing and treating common cold.
1. Wind-cold: aversion to cold, no sweat, headache, body pain, stuffy nose, cough, thin and white vomit, thin and white tongue coating, and tight pulse (the pulse can be felt by pressing lightly).
Wind-heat: body heat is heavier, slightly afraid of cold, sweating less, head swelling, yellow expectoration, yellow and turbid nose, thin yellow tongue coating, red edge and floating pulse (rapid pulse, which can be felt by gentle pressing).
Third, summer dampness: fever, less sweating, body pain, dizziness, eye pain, sticky mouth, chest tightness, nausea, short and red urine, thin yellow and greasy tongue coating, and rapid pulse.
Fourth, prevent colds. Radix Saposhnikoviae and Radix Astragali beef soup: Radix Saposhnikoviae 10g, Radix Astragali 10g, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae 10g, Fructus Jujubae 10g and beef 250g. This prescription comes from Yupingfeng Powder: Astragalus membranaceus 10g, Atractylodes macrocephala 10g and Saposhnikovia divaricata 5g.
Fifth, treat colds. Schizonepeta ginger porridge: Schizonepeta (8 grams fresh, 5 grams dry), 6 grams of fermented soybean, 3 grams of mint, 30 grams of japonica rice, seven or eight slices of ginger.
