Passing down blood stasis
This product is strong in activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is said to be "used for all illnesses involving congestion of qi and blood" in Justice of the Materia Medica. It is good at moving downward, and is good at removing blood stasis and clearing up menstruation, as well as removing blood stasis and relieving pain, and it is also good at clearing up and clearing up obstruction, so it is often used in gynecological menstruation and childbirth, injuries and bruises, as well as internal medicine obstruction and abdominal pain.
Gynecological disorders Gynecological disorders, due to blood stasis is always more, the "Materia Medica Jing Shuo" said that "blood line, then the moon water from the passage of the blood since the dispersion of the blood knot," the product can expel blood stasis and pass menstruation, the treatment of menstrual disorders, menstrual closure, menstrual pain in the abdomen, leaching, etc. due to the blood stasis is not unobstructed, it is quite suitable for. It is suitable for the treatment of menstrual disorders due to blood stasis.

If combined with musk, used as a sitting drug, can also abort the fetus, this method is contained in the "Mei Shi set of examination and prescription", although now rarely used, but we can know that its ability to activate the blood down the blood. Nowadays, it is commonly used in the treatment of post-partum abdominal pain or blood stasis and menstrual closure, with Sichuan hyssop and wood, peach kernel, cinnamon, etc., such as the "Woman's Complete Recipes" contained hyssop scattered.
Bones and bruises The hyssop is a product to remove blood stasis, and has the function of reducing swelling and relieving pain, and is often used in the treatment of bruises, especially in the waist and leg injuries, which is more suitable, often used together with Chuanjian, Cortex Eucommiae, frankincense, myrrh, blood exhaustion, and panax ginseng, etc. In addition to internal use, it can also be used with this medicine to treat the pain of postpartum abdominal pain or blood stasis.

Massive impediment The Treatise on the Nature of Medicines states that hyssop can "expel the flow of evil blood", and the Rihuazi Materia Medica states that it "breaks up the knot of symptoms", so it is often used in the treatment of mass impediments and accumulations. In "Wai Tai Secret Essentials", a concentrated decoction of this product was used to treat long-lasting malaria, i.e. enlargement of the liver and spleen caused by malaria. In addition, the "Three Causes and One Disease Certificate Formulas" contains the "Wan Disease Pill", which is used for treating the obstruction of menstruation of female chamberlains, the firm knot under the umbilicus, which is as big as a cup of liters, the fever and exchanges, and the diarrhea and thinness, which is the obstruction in the mass of blood, and it is a pill of cow's knee, dried lacquer, and raw land.
Treating impotence and paralysis
The cow's knee enters the liver and kidney meridians, and is good at tonifying the liver and kidney, and has the effect of activating the blood and collaterals, and at the same time can eliminate wind and dampness, so for the deficiency of the liver and kidney in the internal, the wind, cold, and dampness outside the impotence and paralysis of all the evidence is also quite suitable. Shennong ben cao jing" said its main treatment of disease, the first is "the main cold and damp impotence paralysis, limb contracture, knee pain can not be bent", "Materia Medica Preparation" cloud of "wine steam is beneficial to the liver and kidneys, strong tendons and bones, the treatment of lumbar and knee pain, impotence, impotence, yin impotence, loss of drowning". For the cow's knee can cure both impotence and paralysis of the disease mechanism, "Materia Medica" explains: "impotence and paralysis are all inter-fascicular disease, and cold and dampness has been transformed not yet transformed, not yet transformed is immersed in fascia for the disease, has been transformed is smoldering fascia for the disease. Su Wen discusses that paralysis is mostly caused by immersion and impotence is mostly caused by smoldering. Ox Knee of this, the wonderful thing is not have to ask it has not been chemical, but to determine the pain between the tendons and joints and can not be flexed and stretched can be." And that it can be "strong to make soft, haggard to make wet, on the down, broken to make even, blocked to make through, all the suppression of fire on the water, water to help fill the line of governance." For impotence paralysis, lumbar and knee pain belonging to the deficiency of liver and kidney, this product is often accompanied by Dugong, parasol, Angelica sinensis, ginseng, etc., such as the famous Dugong Parasol Soup. If the paralyzing pain is due to the prevalence of evil qi, it can be accompanied with drugs to expel evil spirits, such as Duhuo, Wei Ling Xian, and so on. According to Mr. Zhang Zhiyuan, a master of national medicine, this product is most appropriate when paired with papaya, and with Paeonia lactiflora and licorice soup, it can cure gastrocnemius muscle spasm and restless leg syndrome. If with the dog spine, eucommia, continued, frankincense, myrrh, ghost arrow feather, panax ginseng, etc., the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, ankylosing spondylitis, sciatica, etc., the effect is good. The author's clinical use of this addition and subtraction of the treatment of paralysis effect is good, for the paralysis of the waist and knees is the treatment of special skills.
Tongli five gonorrhea
Bitter, sweet and flat, good to go to the lower Jiao, diuretic and gonorrhea, but also from the lower to dispel dampness, but also to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" cloud of the main "five gonorrhea, urine and blood, pain in the stems," in successive generations of the formula book, the cow's knee is also the treatment of dampness and heat in the bladder, caused by gonorrhea, the key medicine. As early as in the "Thousand Jin Yao Fang", it was used to treat the pain in the bladder caused by dampness and heat. As early as in the "Thousand Golden Essentials Formula", it contains the Ox Knee Soup, which is paired with Qu Mai, Slippery Rock, Bian Zhi, etc., to treat heat drenching and blood drenching such as astringent pain in the urethra and blood in the urine, and Mr. Jiao Shude treats stone drenching, impassable dripping and leaking, strangurous pain in the abdomen or waist, and blood in the urine, i.e., urinary stone and kidney colic, and paired with the product, including Dong Quai Zi, Hai Jin Sha and Qian Cao. But also special introduction is, "Materia Medica Tongxuan" treatment of the five drenching evidence is extremely difficult to see the effect of the use of hyssop with frankincense decoction, and even into a few doses of effective. This formula is unique, legislation from the treatment of tonifying the kidney and activating blood, cleverly conceived. The Qing Dynasty physician Chen Shiduo treatment of gonorrhea, also must be treated with products to promote blood, and this is a good match. The author's trial of this formula is effective, especially for prostatitis caused by gonorrhea, the effect is better.
Directing the fire downward
The knee is flat, although not a cold medicine, but has the effect of directing the heat downward to lower the fire of the inflammation. The reason for this is that the taste of this bitter and good nature of the drainage, can guide the heat down, lead the fire downward, so it can be used to treat the deficiency of yin and fire, liver yang hyperactivity, blood heat on the overflow of the evidence.
Fire in the head and face For swollen gums and pain, mouth and tongue sores, paralysis of the larynx and breast moths, can be used alone, can also be used in combination. For example, "after the elbow formula" treatment of mouth and tongue sores, with a flavor of hyssop wine or empty throat that is effective. Compendium of Materia Medica" treatment of paralysis of the throat, breast moth, with a grip of fresh hyssop root, seven slices of mugwort leaves, pounded and human milk, and take the juice into the nose, phlegm and saliva from the nose and mouth in a moment, and "no Ai can also be". If the combination of Huanglian, Dampi, Angelica sinensis, Radix et Rhizoma Shengdi, for the guide head and face of the fire heat downward, the effect is better, such as Jiawei Qinggong San. Another report used hyssop and licorice decoction to treat measles combined with laryngitis, taking a small amount of frequent service, treating 117 cases, with an effective rate of 98.3%. For those with swollen gums due to inflammation of deficiency fire, this product can be used with ripened earth, tortoise board, cypress, with less sand nut and cinnamon, with good effect.
Blood overflowing upwards This product is bitter, excreting and descending, and can draw blood downwards to reduce the fire of inflammation, so it can treat vomiting and epistaxis caused by blood heat, and is often used in conjunction with Bai Mao Root, Artichoke, Lateral Cypress Leaf and Gardenia; if epistaxis is caused by yin deficiency and fire exuberance, it can be combined with Gypsum, Radix et Rhizoma Shengdi, Maitake, and Zhi Mu, which are used in the same manner, i.e., Jade Lady Decoction. In modern times, it has been reported that 110 cases of epistaxis were treated with the three flavors of hyssop, cactus and ochre, all of which were cured. All of them were cured. All of them borrowed the power of Ox Knee to draw blood downward and gained the effect.
Wind of liver yang, the cow's knee can lead the blood downward, so that the hyperactive yang of the floating submarine, often with ochre, raw oyster, raw tortoise shell and so on, that is, Mr. Zhang Xichun's Zhen Liver and Wind Extinguishing Soup. I often use this formula in the clinic, for the liver yang hyperactivity caused by dizziness, tinnitus, such as sitting in a boat, elevated blood pressure, or even numbness of the limbs, the arm as a worm line can be effective.
Lead drug downstream
Lead drug downstream is another important effect of hyssop, the earliest to put forward this point of view is Zhu Danxi, who said in the "Herbal Derivatives Supplement", "the hyssop can lead to all the medicines downstream, the bones and muscles gout in the lower, it is appropriate to add the use of it. Although the nature of the lower walking tendons, but slippery products, the essence is not solid, the end is not appropriate. Steamed wine can nourish the tendons, raw with the bad blood. Its treatment of lumbar and knee pain can not flexion foot impotence of the disease, not to take its blood camp tendon power." Since then, the clinician for the waist and knees below the disease more as a medicine to lead the meridian. To the Republic of China, Zhang Xichun understand this more y, he said: "the original cow's knee is a tonic product, and good to attract blood injection, is to use the medicine for its downstream, always to the introduction of menstruation. Therefore, good treatment of kidney deficiency lumbar pain and leg pain, or knee pain can not flexion and extension, or leg impotence can not be any ground. Also cure women's monthly blood withered, catalyze the birth of the next child, but also good treatment of gonorrhea, diuresis, which are good downstream effect of its power. ...... I realized this reasoning, used to treat cerebral hemorrhagic evidence, with ochre, dragon bone, oyster heavy fall astringent products, not handily effective, the cure is not too much to remember." According to the downward action of the cow's knee, where the waist and knee below the lesions are available cow's knee as the first choice of medicine, in some areas even "no cow's knee but the knee," that is, if not equipped with the cow's knee, the medicinal effect of the formula does not reach the knee below the knee, although this language is too arbitrary and far-fetched, but it also reflects the medical practitioners of the efficacy of its downward effect of the cited medicine. The author in the clinical treatment of the waist below, especially below the knee joint lesions, often consciously with this product to lead the drug downstream. For example, for rheumatism paralysis, bruises, blood stasis obstruction caused by lower limb pain, numbness, coldness, etc., often in the identification of prescription drugs to add hyssop and take effect.
Ox Knee is commonly used in the amount of 10-15 grams, according to clinical needs can increase the dose. It is not suitable for those who have sunken in the middle qi, have diarrhea in the spleen, are not solid in the lower part of the body, have lost sperm in dreams and have excessive menstruation, and it is not recommended for pregnant women because of its ability to move the fetus.
Although there are two kinds of hyssop, namely hyssop and hyssop, and both are amaranth plants, there is a certain distinction between the two. Strictly speaking, the Chinese hyssop is the main product, while the Sichuan hyssop is the secondary product. The herb has long been enshrined in the materia medica, but before the Tang Dynasty, it was only known as the "Huai Niu Knee". The name of Sichuan hyssop first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and only after the Song Dynasty did the use of Sichuan hyssop gradually expand. In terms of efficacy, although they are basically similar, Huai Niu Knee is stronger in tonifying the liver and kidneys, while Chuan Niu Knee is better in activating blood circulation and facilitating the flow of blood. Therefore, the treatment of impotence and paralysis caused by insufficiency of the liver and kidney is appropriate, while for bruises and injuries, women's menstrual closure, urine and blood gonorrhea, etc., it is appropriate to use the Sichuan hyssop.
The raw and cooked knees, the efficacy is not the same. Drugs," said: "the knee ...... raw is declared, the main treatment of retention of urine tube astringent, white stem pain, blood stasis obstruction, obstruction in the abdomen, women's menstrual closure, post-partum obstruction, to take its blood downward function; wine system cooked is complementary, the main treatment of limb constriction, lumbar, knee and leg pain, bone and tendon pain, malaria, dry and thirsty, old age, loss of drowning, to take its blood nourishing Yin function. Taking its blood nourishing yin function." Because of the difference between raw and cooked, and Huai Niu Knee and Sichuan Niu Knee, it is used for tonic to wine system Huai Niu Knee is better, and to promote blood circulation when the raw use of Sichuan Niu Knee is better. The doctor should pay attention to.
