Shi Renchao is a famous old Chinese medicine practitioner in Zhejiang Province. He is diligent in clinical practice and is good at interpreting academic stories of traditional Chinese medicine in popular science language. He is recognized by colleagues in the academic circle as a capable person with both civil and military skills. The famous Chinese medicine scientist Pan Chenglian said that he is "able to endure hardships, willing to study, and dedicated to medicine. He is a true successor of traditional Chinese medicine" (Preface by Pan Yuren in "200 Questions on Preventing and Treating Dampness by an Old Chinese Physician").
The book "200 Topics for Preventing and Treating Dampness by Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners" was published by China Medical Science and Technology Press . It is the successor of Shi Renchao's "100 Classic Chinese Medicine Prescriptions by Shi Renchao" and "Shi Renchao's Traditional Chinese Medicine Ointments". After "200 Prescriptions by Shi Renchao", "380 Medicinal Diets by Shi Renchao on Strengthening the Body and Cure Diseases" and "300 Ingredients for Health Preservation by Shi Renchao", the fifth book in the series of "Shi Renchao on Traditional Chinese Medicine" is launched. It solemnly answers various questions about "dampness" that the public is concerned about.
The book starts from six aspects: "Do I have dampness?" "Medicine and food can help remove dampness." "There are good prescriptions for removing dampness." "Massage acupoints can remove dampness." "Medical classics and doctors discuss dampness." "Treat dampness and eliminate all diseases." It quotes classics and is comprehensive. Yueqiu brings together the theories of traditional Chinese medicine treating dampness in the past dynasties, sorting out the experience of many famous doctors in treating dampness, revealing the ins and outs of the disease caused by dampness, and integrating his personal experience of removing dampness and expelling the evil. It can be regarded as a "little encyclopedia" specializing in dampness.
Dampness is the source of disease, and there is a way to cure dampness.
The way to cure dampness must follow the purpose of "nurturing the natural body with the way of nature" ("Zhuangzi·Health Preservation Master"), because "the evil of the husband is also the cause of life" , either born from yin or yang. Those born from yang will get wind, rain, cold and heat; those born from yin will get food and shelter, yin and yang, happiness and anger. "("Su Wen·Tiao Jing Lun") Dampness is one of the six evils and one of the causes of many diseases. Since the "Huangdi Neijing", there have been many doctors in the past who have discussed dampness. The book "200 Questions on Preventing and Treating Dampness by Veteran Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners" cites macro treatises from major works such as "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", "Difficult Classics", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and monographs from famous works such as "Dampness and Heat Diseases", "Differentiation of Damage and Damage", "Guide to Febrile Diseases" and "Dampness and Warmth Treatise", which brings together the scientific understanding of dampness by elites of past dynasties. Based on the experience of the sages, the author summarizes the four diagnoses as "seeing and knowing there is dampness" - looking for the veins of dampness by observing the patient's expression, shape, skin color, etc.; "hearing and knowing there is dampness" - looking for signs of dampness by listening to the patient's pronunciation, tone, bowel sounds, etc.; Using the four-diagnosis combined with ginseng of traditional Chinese medicine, a picture of the symptoms of dampness evil is drawn: "Moisture hurts people. At the top, the head is heavy, the body is yellow, and the nasal congestion is heavy; at the middle, it is stuffy and uncomfortable; at the bottom, the tibia and tarsus are swollen. In the meridians, there is heat in the afternoon, in the muscles, they are swollen like mud, in the limbs, they are flexed and stretched, and in the tunnels In the Dao, there is heavy turbidity, in the skin it is stubborn numbness, in the Qi and blood it is fatigue. In the lungs it is fullness and cough, in the spleen it is swelling of phlegm and saliva, in the liver it is fullness and hernia, in the kidneys it is waist pain and sweating. This is how the author of this book explains the principle of traditional Chinese medicine in treating dampness by talking about the past and the present, and introducing the new.
There are many diseases caused by dampness, and there are methods to cure dampness.
There are many methods for treating dampness that have been invented in the past dynasties. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation based on disease differentiation, and divides dampness into two categories: extrinsic dampness, which is mainly caused by moisture in the external environment, and internal dampness, which is mainly caused by accumulation of dampness in the internal environment. "People with excessive dampness are more likely to be obese, obese people are more likely to have qi deficiency, and people with qi deficiency are more likely to have phlegm and saliva... The spleen is originally damp and earthy, and because of the excess phlegm, it becomes even more damp." (Fu Shan, Qing Dynasty, "Fu "Qingzhu Nvke"), the phlegm-dampness that combines dampness and phlegm, " dampness and heat are caused by evil, entangled, and difficult to get rid of quickly" ("Liu Duzhou's 100 Medical Discussions"), the dampness-heat that has both dampness and heat, and the disease "At the beginning, it is called dampness, and the main thing is to diuretic and clear dampness, so that dampness cannot become the heat."Over time, the dampness turns into heat, and the dampness should no longer be taken care of, so that the heat will help it to win." (Ming Dynasty Fang Gu's "Yilin Shengmo") means dampness and warm evil. Rheumatism, "when people are suffering from cold and dampness, the skin will tighten, the muscles will tighten, the blood will nourish, and the defensive qi will disappear." ("Su Wen·Tiao Jing Lun") refers to the combination of dampness and cold, cold dampness, etc.
"When treating a disease, you must first identify the cause. If you don't know the cause, the cause of the disease is unclear. "(Song Dynasty Chen Wuze's " Three Causes and One Disease Syndrome Prescription ") On the basis of understanding the cause of the disease, based on the principle of human factors, time and place, different treatment methods with individualized plans are implemented based on syndrome differentiation: either relieving the surface and dispersing dampness, or aromatic and dehumidifying, or bitter and cold and drying dampness, or bitter and warm and drying dampness, or light exuding and diuretic. , or clear away heat and dampness, or regulate qi and reduce dampness, or replenish qi and remove dampness, or warm yang and remove dampness, or relieve dampness and relieve dampness, or remove dampness and turbidity, or detoxify and remove dampness, etc. It can be seen that this is how the author of this book shapes the soul of traditional Chinese medicine for treating dampness diseases through hard words and false claims. Difficult to cure, there are ways to cure dampness
Laws are born from Tao, and methods are established by laws. Traditional Chinese medicine has good methods and methods for treating dampness, so naturally there is no shortage of operational skills. This book extensively collects dampness-curing medicines and dehumidification prescriptions from ancient and modern doctors, and presents them to readers after careful explanation. This provides a practical and feasible reference for grassroots doctors and ordinary people.
Speaking of medicines for treating dampness, the book contains 20 commonly used medicinal and edible materials, such as Atractylodes which strengthens the spleen and removes dampness and Poria cocos which can infiltrate dampness and diuresis. , dried tangerine peel to remove dampness and resolve phlegm, tangerine peel to relieve surface and remove dampness, fragrant grass , etc.; when it comes to prescriptions for treating dampness, the book contains 40 classic and concise prescriptions, such as Erchen Decoction for treating phlegm-dampness blockage, Bazheng Powder for damp-heat stranguria syndrome, Mu Fangji Decoction for dispersing water and stagnation, and drying dampness and nourishing the spleen. Pingwei powder, etc.; when it comes to acupoints for treating dampness, the book includes 28 acupoints that are easy to operate, such as Quchi point, Yinlingquan, Lugu point, Zulinqi, etc.; when it comes to diseases related to dampness, the book includes almost all diseases of the body including internal, external, women, children, facial features, bone injuries, etc. There are 99 kinds of diseases, such as common colds, annoying diarrhea, acute jaundice, stubborn eczema, etc. It can be said that "all diseases are connected with wetness". The manifestations of dampness diseases are ever-changing, and TCM has infinite wisdom in treating dampness. This is because TCM not only has a constant method of "remaining unchanged in response to ever-changing conditions" and refers to the experience of the past dynasties to treat diseases in the usual way; it also has a living method of "not focusing on routines but focusing on ideas", which combines realistic manifestations to treat diseases while changing. It can be seen that this is how the author of this book enriches the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine for treating dampness by exploring hidden sources and drawing on the best of others.
