Temperature of taking medicine

Warm clothing can be used for general decoction. On the one hand, warm clothing can harmonize the stomach and benefit the spleen, such as Danggui Sini Decoction for dispelling cold and tonifying soup, on the other hand, it can alleviate the irritation of gastrointestinal tract, such as Trichosanthes kirilowii, Olibanum and Myrrha.

Cold clothing is generally suitable for patients with vomiting or poisoning. In addition, the ancients, such as Jade Lady Decoction, Silkworm Vector Decoction and Jiming Powder, also demanded cold clothes.

Hot service is suitable for exterior-relieving drugs and cold-syndrome drugs to help them.

Time of taking medicine

According to the theory of "harmony between man and nature", the ancients attached great importance to and paid attention to this aspect. For example, Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty recorded in Qian Jin Fang: "Ordinary people take three or five doses of Xiao Xu Ming Tang in spring to make up one dose; Take three doses of Shense Decoction for summer heat; Take one or two pills such as Astragalus in autumn; Take two or three doses of medicine and wine in winter, and beginning of spring will stop. If this method is often used for life, all diseases will not be born. ". This reminds us that the drugs used for treating diseases should be adjusted according to the natural changes of the weather and the rise and fall of qi and blood in the human body.

According to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in the prescription

Prescriptions mainly for nourishing kidney yang should be taken in the morning and before dusk. In the morning, when the yang meridian is just ascending, and at dusk, when the kidney meridian with little yin is full of qi and blood, it can further play the role of tonifying kidney. If there are more syndromes of excessive yin and deficiency of yang, you can take it again before lying down to help the human body resist yin and evil.

The prescription for sweating and relieving exterior syndrome should be taken from early morning to noon. The ancients believed that "before noon, it is the division of yang, when sweating, and in the afternoon, it is the division of yin, and it is not allowed to sweat."

Prescriptions mainly for invigorating qi, regulating middle energizer and promoting yang should be taken before noon, such as Buzhong Yiqi Decoction and Shenling Baizhu Powder.

Prescriptions for attacking, promoting digestion and expelling worms should be taken in the afternoon or on an empty stomach, such as Maren Pill, Muxiang Areca Pill and Feier Pill.

Prescriptions that nourish yin and blood, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill, should be taken before dusk, so that they can be absorbed together with the nutrition in food to facilitate recovery.

Sedative drugs should be taken at night or before lunch break. Such prescriptions include Ermiao Pill, Ootheca Mantidis Powder, Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction, Bazheng Powder and Zhisou Powder.

Depending on the type of disease

For diseases of the spleen and stomach, it is advisable to take the morning to noon, that is, the morning and the evening (7: 00 to 9: 00) as the time when qi and blood flow through the spleen and stomach channels. Diseases of liver and gallbladder should lie down before going to bed or after taking medicine, and should be quiet and avoid moving. On the one hand, according to the theory that "when a person lies in blood, it belongs to the liver", when one person is ugly, the second time is when qi and blood flow through the liver and gallbladder.

Guiding patients to use drugs according to the law of syndromes.

For example, in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, the law of six meridian diseases when they want to be solved is: "Sun disease, when it wants to be solved, has never reached the top." The pathogenesis of taiyang disease is that the yang in the human body is depressed by wind and cold. The ancients thought that "before noon, the yang is divided into sweating", and the time when the yang is most vigorous from the fourth to the end of the day (9: 00 ~15) can help the human body to relieve the exterior and penetrate the evil, and the evil is likely to be alleviated. "Yangming disease, when you want to solve it, from Shen to Shu." The pathogenesis of Yangming disease is the further development of sun disease or shaoyang disease, with pathogenic factors entering the interior, and pathogenic factors changing from dryness to heat. Therefore, Yangming disease is the syndrome of interior heat, and its treatment principle is clearing the lower part, while clearing the lower part from the application time to the garrison time (15 ~ 21hour) is divided into yin, which can help the human body to eliminate pathogenic heat and solid knot. The same is true of the other four classics.

The above is only helpful for the body to strengthen the body and drive away evil spirits. You must not cling to one end and pull the wings according to the figure. When you seize the favorable treatment opportunity, you must not wait passively. Therefore, "Compendium of Materia Medica" points out: "Although there are four o'clock in the month and four o'clock in the day, or autumn disease in spring and winter disease in summer, it is wise and clear, and it is flexible and expedient, and we can't stick to one." The reason why we pay attention to taking medicine at the right time is to achieve the best curative effect, which conforms to the physiological changes of human rhythm, and it also reduces the adverse reactions of drugs.

There are also three or four times a day according to the condition, such as Xuanfu Daizhe Decoction and Wenjing Decoction, Banxia Houpu Decoction and Huoluo Xiaolingdan.
