Usage and Dosage Dahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction (Notes on Wandering Miscellaneous Notes in Volume 3 of Synopsis of the Golden Chamber).

Various discussions 1. Zhang Lu is quoted in Jin Jian: Dahuang Fuzi Decoction is a combination of cold and heat, rigidity and softness. In modern times, I know the next way to be cold, and I never know that there is a way to be warm. Covering the hot knot of violence with cold, can the cold knot accumulated for a long time be cold? Dahuang Fuzi decoction uses asarum and aconite to attack the cold knot under the threat, that is, it is also the cold of rhubarb to guide it. The combination of cold and heat, combined with warm attack, is obvious and incredible. 2. "Differentiation of Epidemic Febrile Diseases": Aconitum carmichaeli warms the interior to activate yang, while Asarum warms the water and viscera to dispel the evil of cold and dampness; There is no way out for the liver and gallbladder, so rhubarb is used and the stomach is used as a way out. The bitterness of rhubarb is combined with the pungent of aconite and asarum, and the combination of bitterness and pungent can reduce the flow of energy, but the general principle is painless. 3. "Into a convenient reading", yin and cold gather together, leaning to one place, although there is fever, it is also caused by the depression of yang. Therefore, it is impossible to dispel its cold unless it is warm, and it is impossible to dispel its accumulation unless it is downed. Therefore, it is easy to disperse it with the pungent heat of aconite and asarum, and then it can be dissipated with rhubarb.

Clinical application 1. Abdominal pain: A man in his fifties had abdominal pain for several years. The rest of the diagnosis was that the heart was swollen and hard, and the abdomen thundered. It was made of Banxia Xiexin Decoction, but it didn't work. One day, suddenly, I felt terrible cold, and my colic was twice as great as usual, so I made rhubarb aconite soup to drink it, and the pain stopped. After taking it for a few days, the disease no longer occurs. 2. Intercostal Neuralgia: A 7 1 year-old man complained of severe chest pain on his right side, with pale complexion, anemic appearance, limited foot movement and inconvenient walking. The pulse is large, the tongue is moist without coating, the abdominal force is moderate, slightly soft, and the rectus abdominis contracture is urgent, and the stool is once every 4-5 days. Dahuang Fuzi decoction was given, and after good treatment, it recovered within 25 days. 3. Meniere's syndrome: Qi, female, 40 years old. Susong suffers from Meniere's syndrome, which often occurs. A week ago, I was overworked with a cold, dizzy again, and my eyes were spinning, and I was bedridden, and my head and body movements were aggravated. I vomited phlegm and saliva, and my umbilicus was swollen and painful 2 inches below, and my diarrhea was thin, and I was bored. My mouth was thirsty and I wanted to drink, my tongue was pale, my fur was thick and sticky, and my pulse was slow. As far as phlegm is concerned, it is suggested that Alisma Decoction combined with Erchen Decoction in Golden Chamber is modified, but the treatment is ineffective. The tongue picture was diagnosed again, and the syndrome of pain under the umbilicus was referred to. It was found that this syndrome was yang deficiency and cold excess, which accumulated in the stomach and caused swelling pain, and the triple energizer was blocked, and the clear yang did not rise, and the turbid yin did not fall, resulting in dizziness. Add rhubarb aconite soup to taste: 8g of aconite, 0 g of rhubarb/kloc-0, 6g of asarum and 6 g of ginseng, 2 doses. After a light diarrhea, dizziness and swelling pain have been reduced by more than half; Two more doses, and all the symptoms will be removed.
