In 2000, Longdan Xiegan Pills were ordered to be stopped because of renal failure. In fact, this is not the fault of the prescription, but the wrong choice of drugs. Use a nephrotoxic one. "Guan Mutong" mistakenly replaced "Mutong", and the problem came as a result. After that incident, the drug administration department strictly managed "Mutong" and Guan Mutong, which caused nephrotoxicity, was banned. But even so, this medicine cannot be taken for a long time, because traditional Chinese medicine treats gunpowder, especially the bitter-cold gunpowder like "Longdan Xiegan Pill". This means that when the fire is gone, the medicine will be stopped. Don't eat up all the medicine, because taking a bitter cold medicine for a long time will hurt your righteousness. In fact, this point has already appeared in this recipe.
This medicine includes Angelica sinensis and Radix Rehmanniae. In fact, anyone with a little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine knows that these two medicines are contraindicated for the damp and heat referred to by "Longdan Pills". Because they can condense the heat and dampness in the body, aggravate the heat and dampness, and cause the troubles of "closed door to keep the bandit", the reason why they are still used is to deal with the aftermath of the bitter cold medicine and "escort"-"there are all medicines for the diarrhea of the bitter cold, so Use it to nourish blood and nourish the liver."
This Angelica sinensis is worth talking about. Most people only know that it is tonic. In gynecological prescriptions, there are the characteristics of "ten prescriptions and nine guises", that is, ten prescriptions for women, and nine of them contain angelica. This seems easy to understand. For women, they are always prone to blood deficiency. Using angelica is To replenish blood. In fact, blood enrichment is only one of the reasons for using Angelica sinensis. The other function of Angelica sinensis in gynecological medicine is the same as that in "Longdan Pills". Popularly speaking, it is to "protect the liver." But this "liver" is the "liver" of Chinese medicine, which includes the "liver" of the western medical concept that we have hepatitis, and also includes parts related to emotions and even reproduction.
The liver in Chinese medicine must be well-organized. The so-called well-organized means comfort, without depression and liver depression. For this reason, many people are familiar with the method of "relieving the liver and relieving depression" in Chinese medicine. When a person gets angry, he will feel suffocated, his chest and flanks are full, he does not want to eat, and he likes to breathe, as if venting the breath can relieve the suffocation... …All the symptoms are liver depression, so good, let's soothe the liver and relieve depression.
I have seen a hepatitis patient who does have symptoms of liver depression and hepatitis. His prescription has always been soothing the liver.Every time I have Bupleurum, and the dose is not small, I have been taking it for more than a year. Not only did it not get better, but it was really boring. The doctor is also surprised, is it wrong to sooth the liver? It was really wrong, not because he shouldn't soothe the liver, but because he forgot the characteristics of the liver as mentioned by Chinese medicine.
The liver in Chinese medicine is "the body is yin and yang", what does it mean? That is, the liver stores blood, which itself belongs to yin. Only when the blood in the liver is vigorous and the yin of the liver is guaranteed, can the liver's function of stabilization and drainage can be exerted. If it is due to disease or medication, which consumes blood in the liver and hurts the body, how can it be used? If Angelica was often used in the prescription for hepatitis, the patient would not be treated like that.
Angelica sinensis is commonly used in gynecological medicine because of liver depression in many women, such as Lin Daiyu. In fact, her physical problems are all caused by anger, all because of anger, depression, and depression. Don't underestimate this anger, as long as you don't relieve it, her liver blood will eventually be exhausted. Therefore, Lin Daiyu ended up being very thin, with a typical "yin and blood deficiency", including her tuberculosis, and yin deficiency is mutually cause and effect. Therefore, the use of angelica in gynecological medicine is also to supplement liver blood and prevent excessive consumption of liver blood by liver qi. It is generally not wrong for women to use angelica as a skin care product. When blood is insufficient, it can replenish blood, and when angry and liver qi is depressed, it can also maintain normal liver blood. And women's anger and depression, just like their blood deficiency, are very common problems.
From this we can also see that even Longdan Xiegan Decoction with added blood tonics such as Angelica and Rehmannia glutinosa needs to "stop the disease", not to mention those pure heat-clearing medicines without blood tonics, Soothing liver medicine. The use of this prescription is taboo, but it is a reminder for those who like to take gunpowder on their own.
