1. tonic part
Pseudostellaria heterophylla is a drug for invigorating qi and nourishing yin. Its power of invigorating qi is weaker than that of ginseng and codonopsis pilosula, and its power of nourishing yin is weaker than that of American ginseng. It is thin and insipid, and generally has no side effects, but its effect of tonifying is also very thin. Poria cocos is mild in taste, effective in invigorating spleen and promoting diuresis, and can assist qi-invigorating drugs to play a role. Lycium barbarum L. can nourish liver and kidney and improve eyesight. It is a commonly used medicine for nourishing kidney, but it is greasy, and people with poor spleen and stomach often eat it, which will easily affect their appetite.
2. Clearing away heat and toxic materials
The rest of the medicines are all heat-clearing and antidote. These heat-clearing and detoxicating drugs belong to these drugs with strong effects, and they are often used in surgical and sexually transmitted diseases refractory to traditional Chinese medicine. For example, Hedyotis diffusa can treat lymph node tuberculosis, and Smilax glabra can treat syphilis. Experiments have also proved that these potent detoxicating drugs can play an anti-tumor role. However, there are also corresponding adverse reactions: 1. These drugs are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, affecting appetite. Chinese medicine says that the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation", and those who suffer from serious illness "get stomach qi and die"; 2. Some of the above drugs, such as Smilax glabra and Shā rotto Katakuri, have certain toxicity. Modern research believes that these drugs will affect liver and kidney function, especially in the case of obvious liver and kidney damage after chemotherapy, so we should pay attention to the dosage of drugs, and the adverse reactions can be effectively reduced through the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicines.
Overall evaluation (personal opinion only, please browse at your discretion):
Because the dosage of the prescription is not clear, the analysis according to the taste of the medicine is as follows:
1. tonic is thin. Pseudostellaria heterophylla in the prescription is weak in invigorating qi, although it can't get the corresponding effect sometimes when used in large doses; There used to be a patient with gallbladder cancer after operation, a woman in her 40 s, who had anemia and weak constitution after operation, and could not get better. She needed two people to help her get in and out of the ward, and 45g of Pseudostellaria heterophylla was used to make up for the deficiency, which was not effective. Later, I switched to Codonopsis pilosula 12g, and after mixing with Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, Angelica sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, fried yam and other drugs, my physique improved obviously, and I could exercise and walk with my daughter's support around 10. Large-scale surgery is generally easy to hurt qi and blood, resulting in physical decline. It is more appropriate to use tonic as the main method, supplemented by anti-cancer treatment, and then change it to anti-cancer as the main method when healthy qi is restored. However, it should be noted that the dosage of tonic should not be large, so-called "deficiency is not supplemented". In fact, as long as the appropriate drugs are selected, the unit drug can play a very good role below 10g, but the dosage is too large.
2. Lack of drugs for regulating spleen and stomach. Normal spleen and stomach function is the key to disease recovery. First, tonic drugs need to be compatible with them in order to play a role. After gastrointestinal diet, spleen and lung disperse essence; There are many medicines for bitter cold in both prescriptions. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "bitter cold destroys the stomach", which affects the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach, and the spleen and stomach are damaged. No matter how good the medicine is, it cannot be digested and absorbed, and it will not play its due role. Strengthening the spleen, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria; Stomach tonic, hawthorn, malt, gold and so on.
3. If qi and blood are injured after operation, we should pay more attention to the deficiency and attack the evil. There are too many bitter and cold antidotes in the prescription, which will hinder the spleen and stomach transport and hinder the qi movement, but will reduce the effectiveness of drugs in the human body. The so-called "too much is not enough". Spleen and stomach are the hinge of human body's ascending and descending. Once something goes wrong with them, the viscera will be out of balance, and the body will be weak, and dizziness may occur. However, more common situations are anorexia, indigestion, dull pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen or ribs, abdominal cold pain and diarrhea (abdominal pain can be relieved), diarrhea or chills in the limbs, listlessness, lethargy and fatigue, and sometimes low fever. However, if the body is strong, the healthy qi is full, and the spleen and stomach are strong, it is more appropriate to use this prescription on the principle of attacking evil while ignoring deficiency.
4. Compared with the traditional prescription of old Chinese medicine practitioners, it is usually a short-term prescription, preferably 3-5 days. The medicine is simple and effective, and the prescription is changed with the illness; For patients with stable condition, long-term prescriptions can also be prescribed, because long-term application must take into account all aspects of physique and disease, with more medicinal flavors and more peaceful properties, so as to ensure that there is no bias after long-term medication, which is both effective and safe. Even it is not easy for old Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe such prescriptions, and the time is less than 1 month. Do you think that eating the same meal every month 1 month, even your favorite food, can't stand it, let alone a drug that is more unacceptable than rice and has poor human tolerance? After taking/kloc-for about 0/0 day, the condition may change, and the doctor may choose whether to adjust the prescription according to the situation. If the condition has not improved for one month, it proves that the previous prescription has not achieved the expected effect on the condition, and it is even more necessary to adjust the prescription.
The above analysis is based on the uncertainty of the condition and dosage, and limited to the limited personal level, in which the words are definitely biased and are for reference only.
I wish your mother a speedy recovery.
