So, who is this Siwutang? These four materials are Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong. Its standard formula is Radix Rehmanniae Preparata 12g, Radix Angelicae Sinensis 10g, Radix Paeoniae Alba 12g and Rhizoma Chuanxiong 8g. Of course, when taking it, the doctor will increase or decrease it according to everyone's physique.
If it is a person with blood heat, reduce the dosage of Chuanxiong; If women with deficiency and cold constitution can use yellow, but women with heat constitution should use yellow; If you are a woman who needs both tonic and heat-clearing, you can prepare half the land and half the land.
So, what magical power do these four kinds of medicinal materials have, and can they be called gynecological holy prescriptions? This has to start with the problems that women are prone to. First of all, because of menstruation, women are particularly prone to blood deficiency, which is often called anemia. Secondly, ten women are cold, and women are inherently yin, and their constitutions are often cold, which is prone to blood stasis and poor blood circulation. The two are mutually causal. Blood deficiency can lead to blood stasis, and blood stasis can also lead to blood deficiency, which often leads to irregular menstruation in women.
Let's take a look at the efficacy of Siwu Decoction: Rehmannia glutinosa can replenish blood and essence, Paeonia lactiflora can nourish yin and replenish blood, Angelica sinensis can replenish blood and promote blood circulation, and Chuanxiong can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation. Together, they can enhance efficacy. Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Paeoniae Alba are yin, while Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong are pungent and dynamic, which can replenish blood without stagnation, promote blood circulation without hurting blood, and are very suitable for women to regulate menstruation and nourish blood. Siwu decoction is not only reasonable in formula, but also flexible, and the dosage can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. For example, appropriately increasing the amount of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Angelicae Sinensis and slightly reducing the amount of Rhizoma Chuanxiong is a good way to replenish blood; If you use less angelica and Ligusticum chuanxiong or don't use them, you can also help pregnant women to protect their babies; If more angelica, Ligusticum chuanxiong and Paeonia lactiflora are used, symptoms such as less menstrual flow and amenorrhea due to blood stasis can be improved. In addition, there are many derivative prescriptions based on Siwutang. For example, adding peach kernel and safflower to make Taohong Siwu decoction can not only enrich blood and nourish blood, but also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which is a good recipe for girls' beauty. If women are qi-deficient, ginseng, astragalus, etc. can be supplemented.
I remember once, a young girl came to me and said that there was nothing wrong with her body, that is, too little menstrual flow and blood clots, and asked me if I was strict. I saw that she was pale, so I asked her if her hands and feet were cold. She was afraid of the cold. After feeling the pulse and checking the tongue coating, I think she is really in good health, and there is nothing wrong with other aspects. Didn't even prescribe it. Just tell her to go back and cook siwu soup herself. Although it is very cheap, it is very effective when the medicine is cured.
Every time I meet a female friend with this kind of anemia, I will recommend Siwutang to them, and I will tell them that they must drink it every menstrual period, four or five times in a row, but don't drink it for friends with prolonged menstrual period and dripping water. According to the feedback, as long as everyone can persist, the effect of nourishing blood is still quite good, and the effect of skin care is also very good.
Generally speaking, there is no special demand for everyone, so it can be boiled according to the standard formula, but if you want to achieve better results, you'd better consult Chinese medicine to see if you need to adjust the formula. For example, Siwu decoction is warm and dry because its medicinal properties are mainly "tonic". For some people who are hot or angry, drinking it is easy to get angry and get acne. At this time, I usually add Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Coptidis Rhizoma to make Qinlian Siwu decoction, which can be cooled and supplemented, and the effect is better.
When drinking siwu soup every day, you can cook it yourself according to the standard formula. The method is simple: just wash the herbs, stew them in a casserole for 20 to 30 minutes as usual, and then pour out the juice. Repeat 1 2 times to mix all the juices together. Women who have no conditions can also put the washed medicinal materials into a thermos cup, and then add boiling water to stew for more than ten minutes before drinking. Of course, if you want to taste better, you can add some red dates and medlar, or you can add honey after cooking.
This Siwu decoction can not only help women to promote blood circulation and remove blood clots, but also relieve menstrual pain, improve the condition of blood deficiency, and make everyone's hands and feet not cold. It helps blood flow smoothly, so drinking some often can make your face rosy, your skin smooth and you look younger.
But then again, not all women need to drink Siwutang regularly. For example, women with normal menstruation and sufficient blood don't need to drink it every month.
Finally, I want to emphasize the time with you. Siwutang can also be eaten at ordinary times, but don't eat it when you have a cold or fever, and don't drink it when you eat other Chinese medicines. The best time to take it is the physiological period, and the best effect is to drink it 30 minutes before meals.
