Siwu decoction is a classic prescription for enriching blood and nourishing blood, and it is also the most commonly used medicine in gynecology. People in the field of traditional Chinese medicine can completely describe this with familiarity and ears. What is even more amazing is that these four herbs have been added, subtracted and evolved into a series of "sub-prescriptions" and "sun prescriptions". According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 800 series of Siwutang, which is really a "full house of descendants" and a veritable "granddaddy" in prescriptions. Siwutang was first seen in the Secret Recipe of Immortal Therapy for Wounds and Dipsacs written by Lin Daoren in the late Tang Dynasty, and was improved by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and became the famous Jiaoai Siwutang in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber —— it was later honored as the main prescription for nourishing blood and regulating menstruation, which was specially used to treat gynecological diseases, and was called "the first prescription of gynecology" by later physicians. Women's health care focuses on nourishing blood-the human body is "flesh and blood". Only with blood feet can the skin appear ruddy and shiny; Only meat can make you muscular and fit. For women, the pursuit of gorgeous face and slim figure should focus on nourishing blood <; < < < Read in detail what is Siwu Decoction, which has only four medicines? Professor Chen Guolin from the Institute of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Xiangya Hospital has been studying gynecology of clinical Chinese medicine for nearly 40 years. She said that Siwutang is composed of four kinds of Chinese medicines: Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, among which Angelica sinensis and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata are the main medicines. Radix Rehmanniae Preparata contains mannitol, vitamin A, etc. After compatibility with Radix Angelicae Sinensis, the content of ferulic acid, the main component of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, can be increased, and the curative effect of nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation of Radix Angelicae Sinensis can be enhanced, and it can be used to treat female pallor, dizziness, irregular menstruation, scanty appetite or amenorrhea. > > > > "Enriching blood and improving fruit"-Why can Sugarcane Siwu Decoction become a classic prescription for enriching blood and regulating menstruation in gynecology? Professor Chen Guolin explained that Chinese medicine believes that Siwutang mainly regulates liver blood, while women with blood deficiency should pay attention to regulating liver, because liver and blood are closely related: the liver has the function of storing blood and regulating blood volume, just like a human "blood bank". When the human body needs to increase blood volume due to illness or physiological activities, the liver will discharge the stored blood for the needs of body activities. If the liver is sick and the function of storing blood is abnormal, it means that the "blood bank" is exhausted, and it can't satisfy all the functions of the human body at all. For example, if you can't nourish your eyes, your eyes will be dim, dry and night blind; If you can't fill the blood sea, women will have less menstruation or even amenorrhea; If the liver fails to drain, just like the "blood bank" leaks, the stored blood is not solid, which is easy to cause bleeding lesions, such as epistaxis, menorrhagia or metrorrhagia in women. > > > > Women's blood is always used flexibly in a new face, and its function is wider. Professor Chen said that one of the great characteristics of Siwutang is that Siwutang can play a wide range of functions with different proportions of four drugs. If Rehmannia glutinosa and Angelica sinensis are reused and Ligusticum chuanxiong is lightly used, it is a good recipe for enriching blood; Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong can help pregnant women to protect their babies when they are used lightly or not. Re-use Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong, and lightly use Paeonia lactiflora can treat menorrhagia, blood stasis amenorrhea and so on. > > > > In addition, countless "sub-prescriptions" and "sun-prescriptions" derived from Siwu Decoction have also contributed to the treatment of gynecological diseases. The famous Taohong Siwu Decoction is made of Siwu Decoction with peach kernel and safflower. It is specially used to treat menorrhagia caused by blood deficiency and blood stasis, and can also deal with threatened abortion and habitual abortion. Siwutang, after adding Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Colla Corii Asini and Glycyrrhrizae Radix, was named Aisiwutang, which was used to treat menorrhagia and was an important prescription for preventing miscarriage, nourishing blood and stopping leakage. After Siwu decoction and Sijunzi decoction are added, it is named "Bazhen decoction", which can supplement both qi and blood; On the basis of Bazhen Decoction, adding Radix Astragali and Cortex Cinnamomi, it becomes a perfect tonic soup that people are very familiar with.
