Comments: Modified Qingzhong Decoction is suitable for those with internal dampness and heat, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Coptis chinensis and Shanzhi are used in the prescription to clear the stomach and harmonize the stomach. The combination of the two medicines can inhibit the growth of bacteria and clear gastric mucosal edema; white and cuttlefish bones are sticky and bitter, reaching the periosteum, reducing swelling and promoting muscle production, reducing antacid and relieving pain; Panax notoginseng can remove blood stasis, promote muscle production, reduce swelling and relieve pain; tangerine peel, pinellia, Licorice, cardamom, nard, and woody aroma dry out dampness and turbidity, regulate qi and harmonize the stomach, and prevent coptis and gardenia from suffering from bitter cold; licorice nourishes the spleen, clears the stomach, relieves anxiety and relieves pain. All medicines are suitable for cold and heat. The combination of rising and falling, the same principle of deficiency and excess, has the effect of clearing the middle and neutralizing the stomach, regulating qi and relieving pain, removing blood stasis and regenerating. It is very consistent with Wu Jutong's saying that "the middle burner is like a balance, not a restless one".
