introduction
Xin Chou-nian was very angry. Starting from the solar terms of the vernal equinox, it entered the qi of the second year of the new year. The main qi and politeness are both shaoyin monarch fire, and the two fires are superimposed, and the internal heat is very strong. From the beginning of the full solar term, we entered the three qi, and the main qi was shaoyang phase fire and fire. When entering the summer heat, the solar terms are four qi, and politeness is shaoyang phase fire or fire. It can be said that there was fire for half a year in the year of Xin Chou. Excessive internal heat will become evil, and fire evil will hurt yin, disturb the spirit and activate blood, which is a real evil. Pretend this article and talk about how to cure fire.
Dong Hongtao, in Nanning, April 20021year 12.
Nowadays, there are many fires: for example, excess gas is fire; Deficiency of qi leads to stagnation and virtual fire; Exogenous heat is fire; Exogenous wind, cold, stagnation and qi also turn into fire; Internal injury diet will turn into fire, especially overeating spicy fried barbecue, which will accumulate into fire; Deficiency of kidney water leads to deficiency of fire; When you are drunk, you will see stomach fire; Smoking can lead to lung fire; Anger and anxiety can lead to anger; If you are upset, you will see the heart fire; If you work in the house, you will see kidney fire; Fatigue leads to spleen fire ... All kinds of internal fire should be treated according to syndrome differentiation.
Why is fire syndrome more common? There is a saying in the past that "excess gas is fire." This is based on pathogenic qi, which is the pathogenesis of excess fire. If the vitality is insufficient, will there be fire syndrome? In fact, it does. Such a fire is called a virtual fire. Deficiency fire originates from the lack of vitality.
One, exogenous six evils can turn into fire.
Usually, if you catch a cold, wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire, from the outside to the inside, it will invade the camp and guard, block the meridians, lead to the prevalence of healthy qi, and then lead to obstruction of the meridian, fullness in the chest and abdomen, and obstruction of the stool, all of which are signs of excess of sick qi. At this time, if there is a fire syndrome, it is a real fire. Real fire can be clear and purgative, but it is necessary to know that under real fire, the vitality has seen the opportunity to lose heart. Therefore, even if it is a real fire, we should examine its cause and pay attention to righting it.
For example, if you feel the wind, you can use the method of healing, and if you touch the cold, you can use the method of sweating, so that the wind can disperse and the cold can go away without melting the fire. If the cold does not turn into fire, the vitality will not become weak. On the other hand, if the treatment does not conform to the pathogenesis, resulting in the retention of pathogenic qi, then all six evils can be turned into fire. The former sages said: "Fever is typhoid", which is the truth.
Among the 19 pathogenesis items, heat is the most common, which has great correlation with "excess of qi is fire".
Second, internal injuries of seven emotions also cause fire.
Seven emotions are an important cause of disease, and they can also cause fire. For example, if you are too happy, you will be overjoyed and your heart will burn; If you are too angry, you will be angry and have liver fire inflammation; The other five internal organs are the same. How to treat it? On the one hand, we should adjust our emotions to balance and not go too far; On the other hand, it should be adjusted from the deficiency of yin and yang of dirty qi. At this time, we must never use the method of breaking the gas and reducing the gas, or clearing the fire and purging the fire. Otherwise, a diarrhea of internal heat will lead to a loss of vitality, a wound will lead to injury, and it will be difficult to recover after a defeat. This is by no means what a good doctor does.
Third, several ideas on fire control.
If the fire is outside, the fire is depressed in the exterior and should be dispersed. Ephedra, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Cimicifuga rhizome, Radix Puerariae and Bupleuri Radix can be used, but it can be lightly removed. If superficial fire is not cured, it will become depressed fire.
Fire is dry in the interior, fire is depressed and consumes yin, so it should be nourishing. Liuwei Dihuang Pill can be used to replenish essence and qi, which means strengthening water and calming yang. If the bitter cold is abused, the righteousness will be easily hurt even though the pathogenic fire is gone.
Deficiency of fire in the middle is qi deficiency, which should be supplemented and slowed down. Ginseng, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and Atractylodes Macrocephala can be used, which means that Li Dongyuan's sweet temperature can eliminate heat.
Fire in the interior, mostly triple energizer fire, should be diarrhea and clear. Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Cortex Phellodendri, Gypsum Fibrosum, Natrii Sulfas and Rhizoma Anemarrhenae can be used. This means that heat is not far from cold. It is clearly stated in Neijing that fire is immoral in the interior, and salty cold is the cure.
Those with internal deficiency and internal heat rising, commonly known as excessive internal heat, should be cited. Achyranthes bidentata, Semen Plantaginis, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis, Fructus Psoraleae, and Fugui Dihuang Pill can be used to induce yang to return to yin.
External disturbance of internal heat due to exterior deficiency is the fundamental pathogenesis of various chronic pruritus, which should be restrained. Codonopsis pilosula, Radix Astragali, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Os Draconis, and Oysters can be used, that is, the meaning of astringent yin and secret yang. Neijing says: Collect it with acid.
Four, the medication of five internal organs fire.
There is fire in the five internal organs, and each has its own commonly used medicine. Clinical syndrome differentiation can be used.
Spleen has fire, and Dendrobium officinale and Radix Paeoniae Alba are often used. Xiehuang powder is available. This side attaches great importance to wind prevention, which is very wonderful and cannot be ignored by doctors.
Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Cortex Mori are often used for lung fire. Xiebai powder is available. The dosage of this prescription is very light, and it is not easy to take care of it. Scholars should pay attention to it. About Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Li Shizhen recorded an unforgettable thing in Compendium of Materia Medica. When he was 20 years old, he had a cold and a little cough because he studied hard day and night, and his skin gradually became burning, like a low-paying fire, coughing and increasing phlegm and saliva. In summer, it is even more annoying, thirsty, unable to sleep well and unable to eat. Later, only one or two of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi was used, half a liter of water was added, and the soup was decocted and taken at one time. Soon, the whole body fever subsided, and the cough stopped phlegm.
If there is fire in your heart, use Rhizoma Coptidis and Fructus Gardeniae. Daochi powder is available. Bamboo leaves are used in the prescription. My clinical observation shows that if it can be supplemented with cogongrass rhizome to help it urinate, the power of clearing heart fire will be stronger, and the medicine will be slightly sweet, so that the prescription will be peaceful and not hurt.
If there is fire in the gallbladder, Gentiana scabra and indigo naturalis should be used more. Longdan Xiegan Decoction is available. Gentiana scabra is very bitter in this prescription, which can be described as the first bitter medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, far better than the bitterness of coptis chinensis.
With fire in the kidney, cortex phellodendri and rhizoma anemarrhenae should be used. Zhibai Dihuang Pills are available. My clinical experience shows that kidney fire should be led back to the original, and it is better to use Zhenyin decoction and Yinhuo decoction. This kind of prescriptions all reuse cultivated land, which means nourishing water to hide the dragon. In addition, there is also the method of latent yang Dan, which uses tortoise plastron to induce fire to descend. I often use sealing medulla Dan, which is more effective in treating kidney-yang deficiency and fire floating.
Fire syndrome is common and easy to treat. I often like to treat all kinds of fire syndrome in clinic. If we can understand the pathogenesis and use the prescription according to the syndrome differentiation, we can quickly get rid of the fire syndrome.
My experience is that if you see a fire, stop treating it and check your vitality first. There is deficiency and deficiency in vitality, so the prescription and medicine should be appropriate. To put it simply, we should not abuse clearing fire and purging fire in treating various fire syndromes, but should first look at the rise and fall of human vitality. Those with strong vitality can use bitter cold, but they should not be overused, and the disease will stop; Those who are deficient in yuan qi should be treated with strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, especially with vitality as the foundation. For those whose internal heat rises due to Yuan Qi deficiency, if you get a point of vitality, you will get a point of internal heat. (Dong Hongtao)
