The "eighteen opposites and nineteen fears" of traditional Chinese medicine are the opposites and fears of evil (such as "Shennong" tasting medicine) gradually summed up by the ancients in the struggle against diseases, thus ensuring the safety of traditional Chinese medicine to a great extent and its contribution is immortal. However, due to historical limitations, the "eighteen evils and nineteen fears" of traditional Chinese medicine are not perfect, and there is still room for discussion. Because of this, I dare to discuss and analyze this in order to attract the attention of experts and scholars and achieve the purpose of attracting jade.
For the convenience of narration, the full text of "eighteen evils and nineteen fears" of traditional Chinese medicine is extracted as follows. Eighteen opposites: licorice, Daphne genkwa, kansui, seaweed; Veratrum nigrum, Salvia Miltiorrhiza, Adenophora adenophora, Scrophularia, Asari and Paeonia lactiflora; Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, Rhizoma Bletillae and Radix Ampelopsis. Nineteen fears: sulfur is afraid of mirabilite (common name: mirabilite); Mercury is afraid of arsenic; Wolf poison is afraid of Tibetan monks; Croton is afraid of Petunia (common name: ugly cow); Cloves are afraid of turmeric; Dental nitrate is afraid of sparganum; Sichuan aconite and kusnezoff monkshood are afraid of rhinoceros horn; Ginseng is afraid of five fats; Guan Guiwei is afraid of stone grease.
Not all people are afraid of drugs.
Take licorice as an anti-drug. Clinically, Xiaochaihu decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine, is used to treat hyperplasia of mammary glands, adding seaweed, Fritillaria thunbergii, licorice and other drugs, and the effect is good, and more than ten cases are cured. As for whether Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch is compatible with Euphorbia Euphorbia, Daphne genkwa and Kansui, there is no clinical report yet. According to the literature, the toxicity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and the above three drugs in the soaking group was significantly higher than that in the single soaking group, thus inhibiting the diuretic and laxative effects of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and enhancing the toxicity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. In this regard, the author does not agree. I think Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch is a good product for harmonizing various medicines and clearing away heat and toxic materials, and it can be compatible with some antagonistic Chinese medicines, such as Didang Decoction (note: there is no Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch in the prescription, so some people add Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch to make it calm and the effect is satisfactory). In addition, licorice has a strong detoxification effect, such as the toxicity of Pinellia ternata and aconite, which is an indisputable fact. Of course, whether licorice can be used with the above three varieties still needs clinical trials.
Moreover, although Stellera chamaejasme and Lithuanian monks in the "Nineteen Scares" are both toxic, folk doctors have refined them into ointment for external use to treat scabies, tinea and eczema, which has certain curative effect. The raw aconite root and raw Pinellia tuber in Eighteen Contrasts were mashed and externally applied to treat leg pain caused by accumulation of cold phlegm, which has been applied clinically. Cinnamon and halloysitum rubrum in "Nineteen Fears" have been used to treat diarrhea due to deficiency-cold among the people. The prescription is: halloysitum rubrum, dried ginger, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cinnamomum cassia, and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata (note: Cinnamomum cassia is a thinner kind of cinnamon, which has the same taste and efficacy, but the efficacy of Cinnamomum cassia is worse than that of Cinnamomum cassia). It can be seen that the combination of the above drugs, whether oral or external, has no adverse consequences of anti-fear.
Without compatibility, there is no opposition and fear.
Some drugs in eighteen evils and nineteen fears are completely irrelevant, so there is no compatibility problem. For example, Veratrum nigrum is emetic, ginseng is qi-invigorating, Salvia miltiorrhiza is nourishing blood, Adenophora adenophora and Scrophularia are nourishing yin and moistening dryness, Asarum is relieving exterior syndrome, and Paeonia lactiflora is nourishing yin. Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Radix Ampelopsis, and Rhizoma Bletillae have the functions of moistening lung, relieving cough, resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and stopping bleeding; Rhinoceros horn is cold, and Sichuan aconite and kusnezoff monkshood are hot; Fire forging product sulfur, cold product mango needle, etc. Chinese medicine practitioners who are familiar with the principles, methods, prescriptions and drugs of traditional Chinese medicine will not put the irrelevant anti-drugs and anti-drugs on the same side.
Combine products that are both "negative" and "fearful" when used alone.
Some traditional Chinese medicines are extremely toxic, so both of them will have bad and terrible consequences. Such as arsenic, mercury, sulfur and croton. Arsenic, mercury and sulfur are minerals containing arsenic and mercury, which have strong corrosiveness and cauterization. If taken orally, it will suddenly cause acute gastroenteritis, burning sore throat, and even lead to poisoning symptoms such as gastric bleeding. Of course, the above varieties are all extracted Chinese patent medicines with low content, which can be taken orally. But it should not be taken for a long time, otherwise it will cause chronic poisoning. In particular, arsenic is easy to be poisoned by external use and internal use.
Phase fear products need clinical verification.
In addition to the opposites already mentioned, there are three groups of Chinese medicines that are afraid of each other. Namely: clove is afraid of turmeric, tooth nitrate is afraid of trigonella, and ginseng is afraid of trogopterus dung. I boldly assume that if licorice and jujube are added to the above three groups of drugs, can they be removed to achieve therapeutic purposes? Moreover, Trogopterori is a product that breaks blood and consumes gas. In order to prevent excessive attack, why not add ginseng to enhance the true qi in the body (that is, attack and supplement)? Of course, this is only a hypothesis, and whether it is feasible still needs clinical testing.
To sum up, the author believes that inheriting and developing Chinese medicine is the sacred mission of later generations of Chinese medicine workers. However, the purpose of inheritance lies in development, otherwise there will be no real inheritance. Since we want to develop, we must dare to discuss, study and revise the experience and achievements of the ancients, so as to bring forth the new and improve them day by day. B 17.2
