Speaker: Teacher Xie Xuejiao from Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Children suffer from excessive sweating or excessive use of antibiotics by doctors, and their yang includes exterior yang and spleen and stomach yang. Children with yang deficiency are often prone to sweating, sweating when they are slightly active, sometimes they need to change clothes after a night's sleep, and they are prone to catching a cold and their tonsils are often swollen. Some people simply remove their tonsils. This is a common mistake made by modern people. Instead of looking for the root cause, it's just a headache. Getting farther and farther away from the truth. Isn't it sad! ) This is all a medical mistake. Li Dongyuan also lamented in "On the Spleen and Stomach" that "the rough work is not explained, and it is wrong to use it, and it is based on the living, which is harmful to people". I remember when Peng Jian talked about his clinical experience, he also mentioned that "antibiotic children" also said the same thing.
Teacher Xie also mentioned that cough should be treated according to syndrome differentiation. Some coughs are caused by unstable external yang or improper treatment that hurts external yang. If you don't protect the exterior yang first, and then take some traditional Chinese medicines for treating cough (many traditional Chinese medicines for treating cough, such as Baicao, have the effect of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome), it will only aggravate the deficiency and cough will become a chronic disease that cannot be cured for a long time. Only exterior excess, yang density and cough can naturally improve gradually.
In spring, everything recovers, and the vitality of hair growth is increasing day by day. The yang of human body will be disturbed by the qi of spring, and it is easy to go to two extremes. People with strong yang are grumpy, and Bupleurum can soothe the liver and relieve depression. Here, Bupleurum chinense is not used because of its yang-rising function. People with yang deficiency are more likely to get depression. The so-called "but want to sleep" can be treated with the three treasures of rising yang-Radix Puerariae, Radix Bupleuri and Cimicifuga. In summer, when the summer heat is burning, all patients are weak and disease-free, so it is necessary to pay more attention to protecting the yang.
When using Bupleurum to soothe the liver and relieve depression, we should pay attention not to evacuate blindly, but also to use Paeonia lactiflora to converge and balance yin and yang. This is also the beauty of the famous "Xiaoyao San"
The main purpose of using "ginseng" in Xiaochaihu decoction is to help Shaoyang overcome cold evil. The so-called exchange of cold and heat is the image of "the struggle between good and evil", and the right way is to strengthen the body and eliminate evil.
