Whenever something happens, you will realize that you have pre-aging syndrome?

Is the skin no longer bright?

Still feeling tired after a night’s sleep?

Or do you always forget things you have said?

Is it difficult to control your emotions?

Are you upset for no reason?

Or sudden bursts of sweat?

Modern people live under high pressure and work at a fast pace, and the disease spectrum is also quietly changing with this rhythm. It seems that words like premature ovarian failure and early menopause are no longer unfamiliar. The development of modern science and technology has unknowingly lengthened human life. So how can we reduce the rate at which it ages?

Jia Baoyu said: "Women are made of water."

Replenishing water may be a great way to fight against aging. So how should you replenish water?

First, to generate water to replenish the organs, nourish kidney water; secondly, to reduce factors that consume water: reduce heart fire and soothe liver qi.

If you want to nourish kidney water, we can think of rehmannia glutinosa and donkey hide gelatin;

If you want to reduce heart fire, you can choose coptis, scutellaria baicalensis, and poria cocos, which calms the heart and calms the mind;

If you want to soften liver qi, you can have white peony root.

After thinking about it according to this idea, a classic famous prescription in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing - Huanglian Ejiao Decoction is ready to be mentioned.

"For those who have been suffering from Shaoyin disease for more than two or three days and are upset and unable to sleep, Huanglian Ejiao Decoction is the best treatment."

——Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases"

< p> This recipe is composed of only five medicinal herbs, which has the exact effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire, nourishing the heart and calming the mind. In clinical practice, it can treat insomnia, upset, hot sweating, premature ovarian failure, recurrent oral ulcers, vaginal bleeding after abortion, insomnia and forgetfulness in the elderly, diabetic sexual dysfunction, impotence in middle-aged and elderly people, and depression during menopause. Such diseases are worthy of the name of medical sage, and even more worthy of the word "classic".

The original recipe consists of: 12 grams of coptis, 6 grams of skullcap, 6 grams of peony, 9 grams of donkey-hide gelatin, and 2 chicken yolks (egg yolks).

Such a simple medicinal taste has such miraculous curative effects!

Coptis chinensis is bitter in taste and cold in nature. It enters the heart meridian and directly breaks the heart fire. It enters the stomach meridian and clears and reduces stomach heat.

Scutellaria baicalensis is also a bitter and cold agent. It can be used with Coptis chinensis to clear away heat, purge fire and eliminate troubles. It can also clear away heat and dampness, stop bleeding and relieve miscarriage, so that the body's fire-heat can be relieved, dampness evil can be transformed, and the restless blood from menstruation can be relieved. Get back.

Donkey-hide gelatin, sweet and flat, enters the lung, liver and kidney meridians. It is a product of flesh and blood. When it comes to the benefits of this medicine, I believe everyone can say a lot about it. It nourishes blood, stops bleeding, nourishes kidney water, and nourishes lung yin. In short, it is a good medicine that nourishes yin and nourishes blood.

Chicken eggs are yellow in color, sweet and mild in nature and flavor. They are the embryos of chickens. They have the power of transformation and breeding. They have the ability to love Yang, which can keep Yang Qi from floating and not overflowing. Yi Jing can make Yin water carry it to help the heart. Fire can nourish the heart and calm the heart, and when combined with donkey-hide gelatin, it can enhance the power of nourishing yin and nourishing blood.

Finally, add some peony, which is sour, bitter and slightly cold. It is a herbal medicine, which can help coptis and scutellaria baicalensis to clear away heart fire; it has a sour taste, and can astringe yin and nourish blood, purge heat and nourish the blood, and can enhance the power of donkey-hide gelatin and chicken jelly. As the saying goes, it releases fire without damaging yin, and collects yin without hindering evil spirits. This is peony.

Key points of pathogenesis: excessive heart fire and insufficient kidney yin

1. Insomnia

Insomnia is the main indication of Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, and it can be widely used. It is used to treat insomnia caused by disharmony between the heart and kidneys. This kind of insomnia is usually manifested by usual upset, dry mouth and throat, or excessive heart fire combined with oral ulcers, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, spermatorrhea in men, and premature menstruation in women. When Yin is insufficient.

2. Symptoms before and after menstruation

Menstrual bleeding, hot flashes and sweating, frequent dry mouth, which is not relieved by drinking water, prolonged palpitations, fatigue and fatigue, and upset Symptoms such as dryness of Qi, thin tongue and red tongue.

3. Anxiety

Coptis chinensis is used as the king drug in Coptidis donkey-hide gelatin decoction. Coptidis chinensis has strong effects on clearing the heart and calming the nerves, drying dampness and detoxifying. According to modern pharmacological research, it is often used to treat bad mood. Related diseases, this kind of anxiety is often manifested as mental trance, restlessness, suspicion and fright, and excessive joy and anger that are difficult to control.

4. Bleeding

In the original text of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", there is no record that Huanglian Ejiao Decoction can treat bleeding syndrome, but regardless of the drug composition of Huanglian Ejiao Decoction (it contains hemostatic agents Scutellaria baicalensis for the fetus, donkey-hide gelatin for nourishing yin and stopping bleeding), or from the perspective of prescription syndrome, or from the law of the spread of Shaoyin heat syndrome, it can be inferred that Huanglian donkey-hide gelatin decoction can treat bleeding syndrome. Huang Huang, an expert on classic prescriptions, once said, "Coptidis Ejiao Decoction is an ancient prescription for removing troubles and stopping bleeding. It is suitable for diseases characterized by restlessness, insomnia, heart palpitations, abdominal pain, red tongue, bloody stools, and metrorrhagia."

5. Oral ulcers

This kind of aphthous ulcers often occur repeatedly, mostly on the lips, cheeks, tongue, and certain parts of the gums. The surface of the sores is yellowish white, and the surrounding area is light red. The pain is light day and night. Severe, dry mouth, often caused by upset, insomnia, and fatigue.

6. Red face, dry and flaky skin

Dry, flaky or erythematous facial skin lesions are mostly caused by blood deficiency and wind-dryness, and the loss of yin blood cannot nourish it. And due to. Coptis donkey-hide gelatin soup contains donkey-hide gelatin and chicken yellow, which are good at nourishing blood and eliminating wind, and are very effective in treating this kind of skin lesions. The Japanese Kampo expert Otsuka Keisetsu once wrote in his book "Thirty Years of Kampo Diagnosis and Treatment": Rashes are mainly seen on the face, with a low degree of elevation and not very noticeable.

If you touch it with your fingers, it will appear rough, slightly red and dry, rarely itchy, with bran-like dandruff falling off, which will be worsened by wind or sunlight. Treatment with agents such as clearing heat and purging fire, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, diuresis and dampness, etc., have no obvious effect. Only Coptis Lianjiao Decoction, which nourishes blood and moisturizes dryness, has the most obvious therapeutic effect.

"This prescription is effective for women suffering from skin diseases on the face. About 30 years ago, my wife Yu was troubled by stubborn skin diseases. The rash was slightly round, and the center of the cheeks expanded outwards. It was itchy, slightly red and dry. , small flakes can be seen. If exposed to strong wind or sunlight, the color becomes redder and the itching worsens. The patient is treated with Dabupleurum plus gypsum, Dahuang Mudanpi decoction, Yiyi Ren Guizhi Fuling Pills, Coptidis Coptidis Jiedu Pills, etc., but the condition does not heal after more than 100 days of treatment.

Therefore, after careful consideration, donkey-hide gelatin and peony are used to moisturize dry skin, and coptis and scutellaria baicalensis are used to relieve redness and heat. Therefore, take one dose of Coptis donkey-hide gelatin decoction and the itching will subside after a week, and the condition will be cured in about a month. The rash is mainly seen on the face. It is low-pitched and not very noticeable. It is slightly rough when touched by the fingers. It is slightly red and dry, and rarely itches. It is usually worse when exposed to wind or sun. Later, several cases of women's skin diseases were cured."

Is there any special way to cook such a classic prescription? ?

Of course, "Add the five flavors, use six liters of water, boil three things first, take two liters, remove the gizzards, shred the inner glue, let it cool slightly, the chicken inside will be yellow, stir it together, and take it warm for seven days. Combined, take three times a day.

”

What this passage means is that the method of decoction and consumption of Coptis chinensis and donkey-hide gelatin soup is somewhat special. You need to boil coptis, scutellaria baicalensis, and white peony root first, decoct the soup to remove the residue, and then melt the donkey-hide gelatin and add it to the concoction. , wait for the concoction to become warm (about 40 degrees, it is better not to burn your mouth), finally add two egg yolks and mix well, take the medicine warmly, three times a day, for seven days.

Article. Is it over here? I believe you will ask, “Is there any alternative Chinese patent medicine? "

This really exists - Kuntai Capsule.

It is a national Class 3 new drug officially approved by the State Food and Drug Administration in 2000. In October 2004, it was included in the national "Drugs" Catalog Category B List. Kuntai capsule is composed of coptis, white peony root, skullcap, donkey hide gelatin, rehmannia glutinosa, and poria cocos.

It looks a bit like coptis donkey hide gelatin soup, but it doesn’t seem to be exactly the same. /p>

The secret is here. Coptidis donkey-hide gelatin soup is composed of five kinds of medicines. We can think of it as using chicken rooster and mixing it into the soup of the other four medicines.

And Kuntai capsules. It is composed of these four medicines plus Poria and Rehmannia glutinosa. Rehmannia glutinosa nourishes blood and yin, replenishes essence and marrow. Poria cocos is an important medicine for nourishing yin and replenishing essence, nourishing blood and replenishing deficiency. It can also eliminate all kinds of edema caused by cold and heat deficiency while rejuvenating Qi and blood.

Therefore, in terms of usage, you can not only choose the original recipe of Coptis chinensis and donkey hide gelatin soup; you can also make a bowl of egg yolk water to take Kun. Tai Capsule, this is the portable version of the classic name

Well, that’s it for today’s topic of anti-aging.
