1. "Don't record": Long service is illusory.

2. The Classic of Materia Medica: It is not conducive to people with weak spleen and stomach and deficiency of true yin. Where the swelling is full, spleen deficiency can't make water, and water vapor overflows; It is forbidden by law to urinate because the bladder is empty and gasified.

No side effects were found during medication.

Various discussions: 1. Materia Medica: Zi tastes sweet and bitter, and the shape is one. "Fine" is hard to say, but sweet is no longer used as medicine. Probably the treatment of the body is to drain the water, so it is obvious that taking it for a long time makes people feel empty and masks the meaning of pain and drainage. The theory of medicinal properties says everything, but it should not be sour.

2. High strength: the sharp drop of qi, coupled with bitterness, is used to guide the expansion of qi. Ten-dose cloud of materia medica: it can release energy and close, and belongs to phlegm and rhubarb. These two tastes bitter and cold, one is bleeding and the other is deflation. Covering swelling causes bitter cold, strong smell, and rhubarb is not reduced, and there are many medicines. You can also excrete feces by expelling yang and separating the seals in the lungs, so that the body becomes as light as yang.

3. "Herbal Soup": prickly heat, bitter and sweet, with the same indications. Zhongjing used bitterness, and the rest was either sweet or not. Generally speaking, bitterness leads to laxatives, and sweetness leads to less relaxation, so it should be used according to the actual situation of the disease. Although the herbs are the same, they are sweet and bitter and safe.

4. "Outline": There are two kinds of sweet and bitter, just like the black and white of morning glory, with different urgency; Another example is the bitter and sweet taste of gourd, and the quality is different. Generally speaking, sweet people excrete slowly, although they excrete the lungs without hurting the stomach; Patients with diarrhea are impatient, which not only constricts the lungs but also hurts the stomach, so jujube is used as a supplement. However, if the lung is full of water and qi, it can't be removed, but when the water is gone, it can't be excessive. If you take it soon, how can it hurt people? Huainanzi said: Euphorbia Euphorbia will swell up when it comes out of the water, and it will become sick if it is not used well. It is also rarely used.

5. The Classic of Materia Medica: Bazin is a positive medicine for the Taiyin meridian of the hand, so Zhongjing Xie Fei Decoction is also used from Yangming meridian and Zutaiyang meridian. Lung is golden, fur is dominant, bladder belongs to water, storing body fluid. The lungs are blocked and the bladder is indifferent. For example, the upper part is closed, the lower part is ignorant, the water is wet and overflowing, full of breath and swelling, and all diseases are born. Xin can disperse, bitterness can drain, and cold yin can reduce and drain water, so it can cure all diseases treated by meridians.

6. "hundred kinds of records of materia medica": smooth and fragrant, specializing in purging lung qi. The lungs, like water sources, can be used to drain water. This medicine is mainly used for people with damp accumulation of cold and heat. The diarrhea of rhubarb starts from the middle coke, and the diarrhea of nodules starts from the upper coke. Therefore, in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, rhubarb is used for Chengqi decoction, and nodules are used for Xiong Jie decoction.

7. "Materia Medica Justice": prickly heat tastes bitter and pungent, but it is cold and cool, so it can break the stagnation and stop asthma, promote diuresis and reduce swelling. The main indication of this meridian is diarrhea. However, cold products can promote the excess of pathogenic factors, but they cannot supplement the deficiency of healthy qi. If they are not depressed by overheating, they should realize this. Naturally, you have to take it for a long time. And phlegm-fire, diffuse cold drinks, shortness of breath, or lung disease will also rely on this talent to achieve the purpose of smashing points and ploughing the court. Self-confessed talent, the theory of ten doses of drainage is to remove obstruction, even rhubarb and prickly heat are used together, while Dongyuan is said to have a strong smell of prickly heat, which does not reduce gouhuang, so it is harmonious. Stone is stubborn and bitter cold does not reduce nitrate yellow, Danxi is also impatient, and the disease is related to deficiency. So it can rise to the lungs, but the taste is very weak. Why is it violent?

8. Classic: the main disease gathers qi, the diet is hot and cold, the hardware is broken to exorcise evil spirits, and the waterway is smooth.

9. "Don't record": lower bladder water, keep hot air, evil water between the skin, swollen face, hot and itchy body, and benefit the lower abdomen.

10. Theory of medicinal properties: facilitating urination, inducing lung, relieving asthma and stopping cough.

1 1. Kaibao Materia Medica: Treating lung depression and cough, relieving asthma and resolving phlegm in the chest.
