So, who is this Siwutang? The four materials are Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong. Its standard formula is Radix Rehmanniae Preparata12g, Radix Angelicae Sinensis10g, Radix Paeoniae Alba12g, and Rhizoma Chuanxiong 8g. Of course, when taking it, the doctor will increase or decrease it according to everyone's physical fitness.
If it is a person with blood heat, reduce the dosage of Chuanxiong; If women with deficiency-cold constitution can use rehmannia glutinosa, but women with heat constitution should use rehmannia glutinosa; If you are a woman who needs both tonic and heat-clearing, you can have half of the raw land and half of the prepared land.
So, what magical powers do these four kinds of medicinal materials have, and can they be called gynecological holy prescriptions? This has to start with the problems that women are prone to. First of all, because of menstruation, women are particularly prone to blood deficiency, which is often referred to as anemia. Secondly, ten women and nine cold, women are inherently yin, and their constitutions are often cold, so they are prone to blood stasis and poor blood circulation. The two are mutually causal, blood deficiency can cause blood stasis, blood stasis can also lead to blood deficiency, and they often lead to irregular menstruation in women.
Let's take a look at the efficacy of Siwu Decoction: Radix Rehmanniae Preparata can replenish blood and essence, Radix Paeoniae Alba can nourish yin and blood, Radix Angelicae Sinensis can replenish blood and promote blood circulation, and Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation. Together, they can enhance the efficacy. Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Paeoniae Alba are feminine, while Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong are pungent and dynamic, which can replenish blood without stagnation, promote blood circulation without hurting blood, so they are very suitable for women to regulate menstruation and nourish blood. Besides the reasonable formula, Siwu Decoction is also flexible, and the dosage can be increased or decreased according to the actual needs. For example, appropriately increasing the amount of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Angelicae Sinensis and slightly reducing the amount of Rhizoma Chuanxiong is a good recipe for enriching blood; If you use less angelica and Ligusticum chuanxiong or don't use them, you can also help pregnant women to protect their babies; If more angelica, Ligusticum Chuanxiong and Radix Paeoniae Alba are used, symptoms such as less menstrual flow and blood stasis amenorrhea can be improved. In addition, on the basis of Siwutang, there are many derivative prescriptions. For example, adding peach kernel and safflower to make it into Taohong Siwu decoction can not only enrich blood and nourish blood, but also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which is a good recipe for girls to maintain beauty. If women with qi deficiency, ginseng, astragalus, and so on can be added.
I remember one time, a young girl came to me and said that there was nothing wrong with her body, that is, too little menstrual flow and blood clots in her menstrual blood, and asked me if I was strict or not. I saw that she was pale, and I asked her if she had cold hands and feet, and she was afraid of cold. After taking the pulse and checking the tongue coating, I think she is really in good health, and there is nothing wrong with her in other aspects. Even the prescription has not been prescribed. Just tell her to go back and cook Siwu decoction herself. Although it is very cheap, the medicine is very effective when it is cured.
Every time I meet a female friend with this kind of anemia, I will recommend Siwu Decoction to them, and I will tell them that it must be drunk every time during menstruation, four or five times in a row, but don't drink it during menstruation for friends with prolonged menstruation and dripping. According to the feedback, as long as everyone can persist, the effect of nourishing blood is quite good, and the effect of caring skin is also very good.
Generally speaking, there is no special need for everyone, just boil it according to the standard formula, but if you want to achieve better results, you'd better consult Chinese medicine to see if you need to adjust the prescription. For example, because the medicinal properties of Siwutang are mainly "tonic", it has a warm and dry nature. For some people with hot constitution or large internal heat, drinking it is easy to get angry and get acne. At this time, I usually add Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Coptidis Rhizoma to make Qinlian Siwu Decoction, which can cool the upper part and tonify the lower part, and the effect is better.
When you drink Siwu Tang every day, you can cook it yourself according to the standard formula. The method is very simple: just wash the herbs and put them in a casserole for 20 to 30 minutes as usual, and then pour out the juice. Repeat 1 2 times and mix all the juices together. Women who have no conditions can also put the washed medicinal materials in a thermos cup, and then add boiling water to stew for more than ten minutes before drinking. Of course, if you want to taste better, you can add some red dates and medlar, or you can add honey after cooking.
This Siwutang can not only help women to promote blood circulation, remove blood clots, but also relieve the pain during menstruation, improve the condition of blood deficiency, and make everyone's hands and feet not cold. It helps blood flow smoothly, so drinking some often can make your face rosy, your skin smooth and you look younger.
But then again, not all women need to drink Siwutang regularly. For example, women with normal menstruation and sufficient qi and blood don't need to drink it every month.
Finally, I would like to emphasize the taking time with you. Siwutang can also be taken at ordinary times, but we should not take it when we have a cold or fever, and we should not drink it when we take other Chinese medicines. The best time to take it is during the physiological period and drink it 30 minutes before meals, so as to achieve the best effect.
