This cookbook is also my favorite cookbook, which can be said to be infallible.
However, this prescription was born in the Qing dynasty after all, and it has a certain year. The ancestors only gave us a prescription reference, and how to use it depends on the specific situation. When I use this prescription in medical practice, I usually add and subtract. Let me tell you a medical record.
There is a 52-year-old male patient with coronary heart disease. This man was strong and had a good appetite before he got coronary heart disease. After he got coronary heart disease, he was weak, ate little and didn't want to work. He often has arrhythmia and dizziness. He described to me that he occasionally felt pain in his chest as if he had been punched. This feeling of pain will spread from the chest to the left upper arm, shoulders, upper abdomen and other parts.
How does western medicine treat his illness? Simple and rude, lowering blood pressure and relieving pain. But does it work? It works, but it doesn't last long, because there is no cure.
So how to cure it? Bottom line: promoting blood circulation and benefiting qi. Prescription for him: peach kernel, safflower, angelica, radix rehmanniae, rhizoma Chuanxiong, radix Paeoniae Rubra, Achyranthis Radix, Radix Platycodi, Bupleuri Radix, Fructus Aurantii, and Glycyrrhrizae Radix, in which the dosage of Radix Platycodi and Achyranthis Radix is increased.
What was the result? After 4 weeks of use, the feeling of dizziness is not obvious, the mind is gradually clear, and things are not dizzy. After another four weeks, the symptoms subsided.
This recipe, like peach kernel, rehmannia glutinosa, safflower and angelica, is all about promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and nourishing the heart, not to mention. Tell me why the dosage of Platycodon grandiflorum and Achyranthes bidentata should be increased in my prescription for this patient.
Platycodon grandiflorum carries medicine upward, Achyranthes bidentata leads medicine downward, one liter and one drop, so that qi and blood can be connected up and down, which can reduce the heart load; Add licorice to blend the medicine. The whole prescription of promoting blood circulation and qi circulation can not only remove blood stasis, but also relieve qi; Removing blood stasis and nourishing blood at the same time can nourish blood without worrying about blood consumption, and promote qi without hurting yin. Taking both the upper and lower levels into consideration can not only raise yang, but also reduce the downward flow and harmonize qi and blood. In fact, it is a good prescription for treating chest obstruction.
Therefore, Xuefu Zhuyu decoction not only has the function of protecting cardiovascular system, but also is an ideal prescription for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.
Ok, I'll give you a brief talk here today.
