Specifically, the selection of medicines should take into account the nature of each flavor of the meridian. First of all, you should choose cold or cool drugs. Secondly, then choose the flavor of the drug. There are three kinds of cold medicines: bitter-cold, pungent-cold and sweet-cold. Solid fire is usually treated with bitter-cold or pungent-cold, because these two kinds of medicines are able to chill and clear heat, and at the same time, they have the effect of evacuating and opening up, dispersing crowded qi; and deficiency fire is usually treated with sweet-cold, nourishing the yin. Lastly, we also need to consider the meridian of the drug, such as heart fire commonly used Huanglian, lotus heart, bamboo leaves; lung fire commonly used scutellaria, Sang Bai Pi, liver fire commonly used gentian grass, neem.
This is all in order to be a more targeted action of the drug.
Fire toxicity is the gathering of fire to produce qualitative changes, causing more harm to the body, redness, swelling, heat and pain and other symptoms, most of the need for bitter medicines to break the agglomeration, such as Huanglian, Scutellaria baicalensis, rhubarb, etc. have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying the toxin.
In addition, ox-huang and andrographis also have the efficacy of clearing heat and removing toxins, so the heat-clearing and detoxifying proprietary medicine Pientzehuang, which contains pure natural ox-huang, has remarkable efficacy for these symptoms. 。。。。
