In the past six months, friends have kept asking me whether I should prepare a few Angong Niuhuang pills at home In case of unexpected needs? Can taking a pill of Angong Niuhuang on a regular basis prevent stroke? Many questions from my friends have been answered by that sentence: Truth does not spread, but heresy spreads for thousands of miles. It seems that we need to clarify the rumors about Angong Niuhuang Wan.
When Western medicine was not introduced into China, including when Western medicine was not modernized, Chinese medicine was mainly undertaken by Chinese medicine. Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been many plagues on the land of China. Whenever the plague came, the people would not live and the corpses would be everywhere. Accordingly, many medical experts appeared. For example, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties there were Wu Youke, Ye Tianshi, Xue Shengbai, Wu Jutong and other famous infectious disease universities asked home. Angong Niuhuang Wan comes from Wu Jutong’s " febrile disease strip differentiation", which consists of bezoar, turmeric , rhino horn (currently water ox horn), coptis, cinnabar, plum slices (borneol), musk , Pearl, mountain Zhi, , realgar , gold leaf coat, scutellaria. According to historical records, this recipe was made on the basis of Niuhuang Qingxin Pills by Wu Jutong after ten years of painstaking research, but it has not been used clinically. Until the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong (1793), a large-scale plague broke out in Beijing. Some critically ill patients developed symptoms such as high fever, dizziness, delirium, and convulsions. Wu Jutong gave these patients the Angong Niuhuang Pill he invented. , Has saved the lives of many critically ill patients, and Angong Niuhuang Pills have since become well-known to the world. This shows that the first indication of the drug is febrile fever ,That is, infectious diseases in modern concepts.
So, can Angong Niuhuang Pills prevent stroke? I searched CNKI with "Angong Niuhuang Pills" + "Stroke Prevention" as keywords. There was only one article on animal experiments, but no clinical articles were found. This shows that There is no modern clinical research on Angong Niuhuang Pills to prevent stroke. According to Wu Jutong, this prescription is used to treat symptoms of febrile fever, heat into the blood, and delirium. Using modern medical concepts, it is used in the process of infectious diseases due to bacteremia, toxemia, severe infections cause central nervous system to treat the disorder, it has nothing to do with the prevention of stroke.
Angong Niuhuang Pill is an emergency medicine for traditional Chinese medicine. It is not used in most cases of daily life, and its scope of first aid is also very limited. It can be tried only in the following situations:
1. Stroke (cerebral hemorrhage) After being unconscious and unable to regain consciousness, it can be used.
2. Viral infectious diseases, especially those that have no cure, if you have a high fever or your consciousness is affected, you can also use it under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Head injury, concussion caused by trauma, and it can be used when there is a mental problem.
By consulting the relevant literature and drug instructions, I also collected 11 precautions for the use of Angong Niuhuang Pills, as follows:
1. (pulse number and other thermal signs) are set, and cold signs (with cold signs such as blue face, cold body, white fur, delayed pulse, etc.) shall not be used.
