People have often lamented, "Eat is the grains and cereals, which have not been born disaster of the disease?" After all, we are all flesh and blood, and not heavenly fairies, so it is inevitable that few are plagued by disease. There are many diseases that actually look like a small problem, but if you do not pay attention to it, it will often become a big problem, such as a cough is this kind of disease. On the surface, a cough is not simple? In fact, a cough is involved in the body of the five organs, as early as the "Yellow Emperor's Classic" in the "five organs are all people cough, not only the lungs," said.

For the principle of coughing, "Medical Three Character Classic" said, "gas on the choke, coughing," leading to the lungs on the reverse factors, the Qing Dynasty famous doctor Chen Xiuyuan that nothing more than "wind and cold into" and "consumption" and "loss of accumulation" of two. Loss of accumulation" two kinds, and wind-cold from the outside to attack the lungs, resulting in a very large number of cough cases, so many medical doctors on the treatment of cough will not ignore the wind-cold factor. Coughing due to wind-cold is very common in the clinic, so there are a lot of prescriptions to regulate the wind-cold cough.

In the ancient and modern treatment of wind-cold cough prescription, there is a prescription is a classic, it is from the Song Dynasty famous doctor Zhu humerus "class evidence of the living book" "gold boiled grass loose". What exactly are the herbs that make up Jin Bo Cao San? The whole formula is composed of eight Chinese medicines, including "Qianhu three taels, Jingwu four taels, ginger half-summer one or two, red peony two taels, one or two fine pungent, one or two hot licorice, three taels, three taels of ephedra", and so on. The usage is to make these eight medicines into fine powder, and each time you take it, take two dollars of the powder, wrapped in a cloth, add ginger and jujubes, and then take it by pan-frying in water.

Jin Bo Cao San is a classic formula for dispersing wind-cold and warming phlegm, mainly used for wind-cold syndrome, all colds and coughs caused by wind-cold can be used in Jin Bo Cao San, clinical symptoms are represented by cold and fever, headache and nasal congestion, coughing and phlegm, and tongue and pulse are mainly characterized by flooding of tongue texture, white tongue coating, and floating pulse. In modern times, it can also be used for colds, coughs, cough-variant asthma, pediatric laryngogenic cough, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. As long as the identification belongs to the wind-cold, it can be used in the form of chemical tailoring.

Why does Jin Zeocao San have such a good effect? In fact, the core lies in the combination. The whole formula with the flowers, ephedra as the monarch, in which the flowers mainly play the role of warming the cold, the role of qi and phlegm, ephedra mainly play the role of the lungs published, in addition to the role of cold cough, the former Hu, half-summers as the subject of the main auxiliary flowers to eliminate phlegm and lower the qi; to the thorn mustard, the fine Xin as the adjuvant, mainly to play the role of the dispersal of cold, the red peony, licorice for the drug, the main role of the liver and astringent, the role of the harmonization of all medicines.

There are two unique Chinese medicines in this formula, the first one is the flower , also known as the Golden Boiling Grass, in ancient times there is a saying that "all flowers are ascending, but the only one is descending," which is unique in its role in "eliminating phlegm and expelling water, and facilitating the downward movement of Qi. "The role of the unique, because the cough is caused by the lung gas upward reversal, so the lowering of the gas downstream is a priority, the role played by the flowers here is very peculiar. The second flavor is red peony , red peony can cool the blood and clear the heat, not only to prevent the formula of the fine Xin, ephedra sweating too much, but also to lift the wind and cold blocked in the meridian of the heat, can be said to be "one stone, many birds".
