"Treatise on Febrile Diseases" records: "The pulse of supporting yang is floating and astringent, and the floating and astringent pulse is full of stomach qi, and the astringent pulse is frequent urination, and the floating and astringent pulse is hard stool. The spleen is about, and Mazi Renwan is the master. " In other words, hemp seed pill is used to treat "spleen contraction". How to understand this?
We read the classic of traditional Chinese medicine "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic Su Wen": "Drinking into the stomach overflows essence, loses to the spleen, disperses essence, returns to the lungs, turns to the airway and loses to the bladder ..."
The general meaning is: after the diet enters the human stomach, it is decomposed by the stomach, and the Shui Gu in the diet is subtly transformed into the qi, blood and body fluid needed by the human body, which is transported to the whole body through the spleen to maintain the normal life activities of the human body. ...
The digestion of what we eat depends on the stomach, but the transportation of body fluids depends on the spleen. If the body fluid is insufficient and there is no body fluid to transport it, then the spleen will be restricted, so it is called "spleen contraction". At this time, the main performance is "hard stool". Maziren Pill can solve the problem of "difficult defecation" by treating "spleen contraction", and achieve the purpose of moistening intestines and relaxing bowels and treating constipation.
Huomaren Pill consists of Fructus Cannabis, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, Cortex Magnolia Officinalis, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Radix Paeoniae and honey. Hemp seed and almond have good laxative effect. Rhubarb, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and Magnolia Officinalis (these three medicines form Xiaochengqi Decoction) clear away heat, promote qi and relax bowels, while Paeonia lactiflora and honey nourish yin and moisten dryness. Together, it has the effects of moistening intestine, purging heat, promoting qi circulation and relaxing bowels, and has a good therapeutic effect on constipation, dry stool, yellow urine, abdominal distension, dry mouth and other symptoms. It is one of the most popular drugs in traditional Chinese medicine.
Chinese patent medicine is made on the basis of hemp seed pill by using modern pharmaceutical technology. These three kinds of Chinese patent medicines, such as Maren Pill, Maren Runchang Pill and Maren Zipi Pill, have basically similar effects, and we can all understand them as "Maziren Pill", which is used to treat functional constipation in middle-aged and elderly people, with definite curative effect, but it cannot be used for a long time because it contains rhubarb.
