There are not many prescriptions named after Dan in history. Xiaojin Dan is one. Dan means refinement, while gold is to highlight its preciousness.

Xiaojin Dan is from The Collection of Surgical Syndrome and Treatment by Wang Hongxu, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, and now his name is Koganamaru.

So, what diseases can this Koganamaru treat?

Wang Hongxu said that it can treat the disease of vulvar gangrene. What is vulvar gangrene? Wang Hongxu said this: "The poison of vulvar gangrene is actually cold." When it comes to yin, everyone will immediately associate it with dark clouds covering the sun and stormy weather, so doesn't the word yin mean cold? According to Chinese medicine, cold leads to condensation, just like rivers freeze in winter. When people get cold, either it's blocked here or it's closed there, and phlegm and blood stasis follow. When cold phlegm and blood stasis are mixed, it will grow all kinds of masses, such as thyroid nodules, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, breast hyperplasia and so on.

after understanding this truth, let's look at the composition of the prescription.

Koganamaru: The medicinal materials listed in the prescription of Momordica cochinchinensis, Liquidambar formosana, Vinegar Olibanum, Vinegar Myrrha, Oletum Trogopterori, Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii Preparata, Radix Angelicae Sinensis with wine, Lumbricus, Moschus, and Fragrant Ink

all seem a little strange except Radix Angelicae Sinensis. For example, this Momordica cochinchinensis sounds like an insect. In fact, people are genuine plant medicines, which are cucurbits. However, Momordica cochinchinensis is cold, while Aconitum kusnezoffii is pungent and hot. As monarch drugs, one is cold and the other is hot. Together, these two drugs can just dissipate the phlegm lump condensed by the body due to cold.

earthworm is an earthworm. Although it is soft, it can drill around in the soil, loosening the soil for plants. It can be seen that its function of dredging meridians is very powerful.

Liquidambar formosana promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, while Angelica sinensis can invigorate blood.

myrrh and frankincense were imported, and together they are called "floating in the sea", which means that they came to our country not far from Wan Li. Myrrh is good at regulating blood, while frankincense is good at regulating qi, so that qi can promote blood circulation.

Oletum Trogopterori also promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis. It is turbid, and can lead blood stasis into the intestines and excrete it through stool.

Fragrant ink is the smoke produced by burning in Gu Song for a hundred years, and it is refined through many processes with spices and glue juice. The fragrant ink has the function of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis. In ancient times, when you were injured by a sword and bleeding, you can use this fragrant ink to apply to the wound, which can stop bleeding quickly.

finally, I used musk blindly. Why put it at the end? Because musk is so powerful, how powerful is it? Once it is in the mouth, the blood stasis in the throat immediately melts away, so musk claims to be the first drug in the world to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. What kind of angelica, myrrh, is just a little trick in front of it.

It's not hard to see that Wang Hongxu used some harsh drugs, which made Koganamaru's prescription very powerful. As soon as he entered the body, he treated his body as a battlefield, and then beat the enemy to pieces with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. So there are many stubborn diseases that other prescriptions can't attack, and Koganamaru is more than enough.

Let's talk about Koganamaru's treatment of diseases.

1. Thyroid Nodules

There is a good Chinese patent medicine called Neixiao Pill to treat nodular diseases. However, the pill for internal elimination of scrofula is cold, which is suitable for people with strong liver fire, that is, those who are always prone to get angry and have more internal heat in their bodies. Some people, he is not only angry, but also afraid of cold, that is, qi stagnation and severe yang deficiency. If your constitution is too warm, use Neixiao scrofula pills; If you are cold, use Koganamaru.

2, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts

As mentioned earlier, when cold phlegm and blood stasis are mixed, it will grow into a mass. When it gathers in the uterus, it becomes a hysteromyoma; When it gathers in the ovary, it becomes an ovarian cyst. Guizhi Fuling Pill is also good for treating fibroids and cysts, but the strength of Guizhi Fuling Pill to remove blood stasis is far less than that of Koganamaru. Musk alone makes it far behind, so some people will say that the effect after using Guizhi Fuling Pill seems to be not so good. In fact, it is because the root of the disease has been buried for too long, and it is of course very difficult for you to dig it bit by bit with a hoe. If you replace the hoe with an excavator, will it be done? Therefore, if the course of myoma cyst is not too long, Guizhi Fuling Pill can be used, and Guizhi Fuling Pill can't attack it. Koganamaru can totally do it.

3. Various breast diseases, including hyperplasia of mammary glands, breast nodules and premenstrual breast pain

Take hyperplasia of mammary glands as an example. The ancients called hyperplasia of mammary glands "mastoid rock", and a lump grew inside the breast, which was as hard as a stone. Koganamaru could break it. In addition, there is a certain relationship between breast diseases and anger, because the breast goes through the liver meridian, and you can take Koganamaru together with Xiaoyao Pill.

4. Pain after herpes zoster

Chinese medicine believes that herpes zoster is caused by excessive fire in the liver and gallbladder. Note that this is no ordinary heat evil. The most common heat evil is toothache and sore throat. This heat evil has become a climate and its power is already strong, so it will inevitably cause a series of violent reactions. You see that once herpes zoster breaks out, it can be densely covered with small blisters from armpit to ribs, from chest to back. Like a long snake, it is red and red, and you know that the heat evil inside it is very heavy.

The so-called sequela pain means that if the treatment is not timely or thorough, it will often leave sequelae after herpes disappears, and the most important symptom is neuralgia.

That is to say, with the heat pathogen being eliminated bit by bit, the herpes on the skin surface has gradually subsided, but as the initiator, the result of qi and blood stasis caused by heat pathogen is still there. How did Chinese medicine say the pain came from? It hurts when it doesn't work. For this kind of post-traumatic pain, many doctors are often helpless, and Koganamaru can cure it. It contains both Momordica sinensis and earthworm, myrrh and frankincense that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and so on.

5. In addition to the above, Koganamaru can also be used to treat tumors. In the view of Chinese medicine, tumor is a kind of gangrene, which means that "the yang is lost in dressing, and the yin and cold are stagnated".

Finally, it should be emphasized that Koganamaru, a prescription, is very effective. In addition, Aconitum kusnezoffii and Momordica cochinchinensis have certain toxicity, so pregnant women and lactating women should not use it, and those with liver and kidney insufficiency should use it with caution.
