For Hovenia ciliata and Hovenia dulcis, these two kinds of Chinese herbs are relatively similar, but we also need to pay attention to differentiate between them, first of all, Hovenia dulcis is smaller in size, about the same as a quail's egg, at the same time, it is a kind of young fruit. Hovenia chinensis is cold in nature, in the line of qi power is stronger, which is very good for our health, while Hovenia ciliata is a kind of fruit close to maturity. Hovenia ciliata is warm in nature and weaker in the power of traveling qi, so you can differentiate it in this way.
And the difference between the efficacy of Hovenia and Citrus aurantium is also relatively large, first of all, Citrus aurantium is mainly used for diarrhea, which can achieve the effect of moving qi and eliminating plaque. In clinical application, it is seen that it has a very good effect in draining heat and laxative. For example, in the Houpu Three Substances Soup, you can find Hovenia. In Zhang Zhongjing's records on the subject, Hovenia dulcis is the main drug used to treat chest paralysis and plumpness. As for Hovenia, it has a wider range of uses, for example, in Ginseng Baidu Poison San, the main ingredients are Hovenia and Platycodonopsis, which, in terms of uses, are mainly used for declaring and lowering the lung qi, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. In Zhang Zhongjing's medical records see, hedge hedge can treat blood hemorrhoids diarrhea constipation cold, so that we distinguish through the difference in efficacy, the effect is also good.
It is also worth mentioning that there is actually a difference in the direction of treatment between the two herbs, if it is said that the gas in the middle of the chest, the use of Hovenia, if the gas in the lower part of the chest, the use of Hovenia. Of course, it can also be determined according to the patient's physical condition, for example, if the physical condition is weak, then use Hovenia Hortensis, and if the physical condition is better, then use Hovenia Phellodendron. In addition, if you want to eliminate food to break the stagnation, then use Hovenia, if you move qi to broaden the middle, then use Hovenia, you must be differentiated according to their own physical condition, so as to more play Hovenia efficacy.
Helenium and Hovenia are more familiar, which are we will be more familiar with the usual Chinese herbs, we can use these herbs to health treatment, but there is a difference between Hovenia, although more similar, but we should still have an understanding of the methods of differentiation to be able to do the situation described above we should pay attention to.
