"Pu Chi Pu Chi" The clay pot on the stove is boiling herbs, and the heat is accompanied by a faint bitter taste. This is the nux vomica being prepared.

The medicinal ingredients in the prescription include scorpion, worm, frankincense, myrrh, uncaria, achyranthes, atractylodes, ephedra, licorice, honeysuckle, etc., and each medicinal ingredient is compatible with each other. Among them, the whole scorpion is the most expensive cost of this traditional Chinese medicine. It is not only expensive but also important. In addition to the functions of dredging the meridians, promoting blood circulation and dispersing stagnation, the whole scorpion itself is compatible with Nux Vomica and has the effect of "fighting poison with poison". Whole scorpion and nux vomica have similar effects but opposite principles of action. Nux vomica can excite the central nervous system, which can lead to poisoning if used in excess, while whole scorpion can inhibit the over-excitation of the central nervous system.

After hundreds of years of practice, it has been verified and passed down to this day. It still exists today. The truth passed down. Therefore, if the traditional Chinese medicine in the prescription is to be effective, medicinal materials are the key, and the same medicinal materials need to be prepared in different ways to be used in different prescriptions. This means that the success or failure depends on people and not God.
