Da Chai Hu Decoction combined with Croton to treat intrahepatic bile duct stones
It is well known that Da Chai Hu Decoction can treat cholecystitis, but it has no effect in treating gallstone diseases. Why is it ineffective? We need to know why Da Bupleurum Decoction acts on the mid-coke system. The reasons are as follows. Da Bupleurum Decoction contains rhubarb, and it must be removed and re-fried. This reduces the purgative effect of rhubarb. Originally, the rhubarb was not removed. Direct decoction of rhubarb with residue and heavy decoction has a purgative effect on the gastrointestinal tract, that is, Yangming. However, after removing residue and refrying with rhubarb, the purgative effect is reduced and it only clears the inflammatory metabolites of the hepatobiliary system. According to the records of Bupleurum and Materia Medica, it can be inferred Chen Zhixin removes blood stasis, which means it has the same purgative effect as rhubarb, but to a lesser extent, that is, it can only act on the liver and gallbladder system, that is, Shaoyang! Dabuihu decoction can treat cholecystitis and cleanse inflammation of the liver and gallbladder system, but it cannot clear blood stasis and stones in the liver and gallbladder system. This shows that drugs with stronger purgative effects need to be tamed to act on the liver and gallbladder! Rhubarb is cold in nature, while croton is hot in nature. Both cold and hot properties work together on the liver and gallbladder, and can cleanse inflammation, blood stasis, phlegm and dampness! The detoxification mechanism of croton processing comes from high-temperature peeling and grinding. I have personally conducted experiments. Croton must be at a sand temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius before the seed coat bursts. Place it in a pounding jar and grind it until it becomes fat. Then place it in a The long-chain fatty acids in the croton oil are also dissolved and evaporated on the stove pan at 1,000 degrees Celsius, and the croton is eventually carbonized! In the picture in this article, the patient took three doses of Dabupleurum Decoction and 0.5g of Croton Carbonate daily. The patient initially had diarrhea five or six times a day. After a week, the patient adapted and only had diarrhea twice a day. After taking the medicine, the patient lost about ten pounds. The weight is about 200 kilograms, so in practical applications it is better to tailor the clothes to suit your needs! As for the nature of intrahepatic bile duct stones that make them suitable for treatment with traditional Chinese medicine? A lot of case studies are needed!
