jujube

Ginger and jujube can harmonize health and health, and can harmonize qi and blood in the kitchen. Cheng Wuji said, "Evil is in the camp, so it is sweet to solve it. Therefore, ginger and jujube are used to reconcile the camp and the health, and the qi of the spleen and stomach rises. " Zou Shu said: "Jujube and ginger are the main agents of camp and health, ginger is the main agent of health, and jujube is the main business."

A 45-year-old woman complained that every time she felt itchy all over her body and skin because of the cold, after scratching, her papules were red in size, especially on her head, face, hands and feet. Fever can be relieved after more than 3 months of irregular attacks. He was diagnosed with urticaria and took many kinds of western medicines, such as chlorpheniramine. I stopped itching at that time and came back. The side effects of taking this medicine are drowsiness, dizziness and general weakness. In the past six months, I have caught a cold as soon as I catch a cold, and my health is poor. I'm pale, too lazy to talk, and my limbs are weak.

Examination: pale tongue, thin white fur and weak pulse. According to the tongue and pulse, it can be distinguished that the weakness of middle qi leads to the weakness of muscle surface in resisting evil, and cold leads to muscle carbuncle. It is advisable to replenish middle energizer, dispel wind and cold, and harmonize camp and health.

However, patients have repeatedly expressed fear of the taste of traditional Chinese medicine, and when they smell it, they feel sick and want to vomit. After thinking for a moment, I remembered that the effect of ginger is "the holy medicine to stop vomiting". Can you eat ginger and jujube soup for both medicine and food, and see how the treatment effect is? The patient is willing to accept it. He was instructed to take two slices of ginger and 10 slices of jujube, 1 dose every day.

The second diagnosis: after taking the drug with the dose of 10, all symptoms were mild, the food intake increased greatly, the face turned red, the limbs were stronger than before, and the rash and itching were obviously alleviated when encountering cold. The medicine has been taken until the disease, and the effect is not good. After taking 10 dose, I learned that all the diseases were cured.

Urticaria is a skin disease with wheezing and itching. According to the characteristics of its onset, there are names such as "Guimi pimple" and "rash" in TCM literature. Regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of urticaria, Zhang Zhongjing said in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber: Stroke Calendar: "When pathogenic factors pass by, the body itches and the rash is hidden." In other words, urticaria is caused by exogenous pathogens invading the human body. The Golden Mirror of Medical Zong also said: "People who suffer from sweating, catching cold, or sleeping in cold are mostly symptoms of the common cold. At first, their skin was itchy, and later they developed flat papules shaped like watercress and piled up in pieces. " It is clearly pointed out that urticaria is caused by common cold, and it is easy to suffer from superficial deficiency, which shows the internal cause of constitution.

This disease is regardless of age, season or sex. Initiate suddenly, come and go suddenly, disappear from time to time, fade away without leaving a trace, or recur for several years. Treatment generally adopts wind-cold bundle, mainly to dispel wind and cold; Wind-heat and sunken skin are mainly used to dispel wind and clear heat; Those who are depressed by blood and produce wind mainly promote blood circulation and dispel wind; Spleen deficiency leads to wind, mainly strengthening the spleen and eliminating evil spirits.

The fundamental reason for treating this patient lies in deficiency of spleen and stomach, deficiency of middle qi and poor anti-evil ability, showing the above-mentioned series of symptoms. So use ginger to benefit the spleen and stomach and dispel the cold; Jujube tonifies the spleen and stomach, benefits qi and produces fluid, and the two drugs are used together to tonify the spleen and stomach, reconcile the camp and the health, help the healthy qi and enhance the body's resistance. Therefore, after taking it, the symptoms are lighter, the diet is greatly increased, the face turns red, and the limbs are strong. As pointed out in "Drinking Snow in a Red Furnace", "When tonic is used, it is also necessary to cleanse evil spirits. When evil spirits disappear, tonic will be effective." Later generations often use ginger and jujube as "leading drugs", but in this case, it is effective because of "the combination of medicine and syndrome" For example, the ancients said that "the beauty of medicine, if there are not many soldiers, only choose its ability, medicine is not expensive and complicated, only take its merits", which is exactly what it means.
