What should I do if I catch a cold?
Cold is a relatively broad concept. From a medical point of view, it mainly refers to upper respiratory tract infection , that is, inflammatory infections in the nasal cavity, pharynx and throat; from the perspective of ordinary people, fever diseases related to cold, wind or cold are considered cold.
Mahuang Decoction, Guizhi Decoction, Yinqiao San , Sangju Drink, Sangxing Decoction, Dayuan Drink, Qingying Decoction, Xijiao Dihuang Decoction, Xiao Chaihu Decoction, Maxing Shigan Decoction, etc., are all related to broad-spectrum cold treatment. There are so many cold prescriptions, how should we use them correctly?
To use cold prescriptions correctly, we must understand and understand three points, namely, the two major types of cold , qi , , and , and , three levels of .
- The two major types of colds are mainly referring to the Sun (bladder) system cold and the Shaoyin (three burner) system cold. The solar system is centered on the bladder system and the lung system. Mahuang Decoction, Guizhi Decoction, Maxing Shigan Decoction, Daqinglong Decoction, etc., all belong to this type of cold. The Shaoyin system includes the kidney system and the triple burner system. Colds are mainly triple burner system, and warm disease also belongs to this. Yinqiao San, Sang Juji Drink, Sang Xing Tang, Qingying Tang, Xijiao Dihuang Tang, etc. belong to this type of cold.
- The three levels of cold are mainly for the triple burner system, which are divided into upper burner, middle burner and lower burner. The upper, middle, and lower burner here do not refer to the high and low positions, but to the change in the depth of the disease transmission. The upper cava lesions of the triple burner system mainly refer to the mucosal lesions of the lung system, such as the nasopharyngeal mucosa and the upper respiratory tract mucosa. The treatment prescriptions can be used with Yinqiao San, Sangju Drink, and Sang Xing Tang, which is different from the use of fever and cold medicines in the sun's bladder system. The middle burner lesions in the Sanjiao system refer to the situation where the pathogenic evil affects the body of the Sanjiao through the mucosal system and also contains internal heat in the blood. The prescription is Qingying Decoction, which uses heat-clearing and anti-expressing medicines and dysheat-cooling medicines. The lower abdomen of the Sanjiao system refers to the pathogenic evil entering the body of the Sanjiao, causing the toxicity of the blood and toxicity of the Ying blood, and it is a group of heat and toxicity of the . At this time, Xijiao Dihuang Decoction should be used to treat it, and even Angong Niuhuang Wan , Zhibao Dan, etc. Qingshu Yiqi Decoction can also be classified into this category. Colds in the solar system also have transmission changes, but their transmission changes are not hierarchical transmission changes, so you can use medicines with addition and subtraction.
- The human body triple burner system has special characteristics. This special nature lies in the fact that the triple burner is the path of the human body's vital energy, that is, the structure of the transfer of qi. This structure is called membrane original in traditional Chinese medicine. The stability of the membrane original structure plays an important role in keeping the triple burner qi running smoothly and maintaining the normal function of the triple burner. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the membrane original harmonious. The membrane was originally a half-face and half-inner structure. This half-face and half-inner refers not only to its position, but also to its function. From the perspective of position, the membrane is originally the fundamental point of resisting evil qi invasion of mucosa, or in the frontier position, and the prescription is the original drink; from the perspective of function, the Sanjiao and are an important part of coordinating the transformation of the qi mechanism and the key to regulating the operation of the Sanjiao vital energy. The prescription is Xiao Chaihu Decoction.
