So what should we do when we have itchy skin?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of pruritus is one blood deficiency and one cold, which leads to Dystrophy of the skin, the formation of dryness and wind, the formation of itching.
How to solve it? Here we recommend a solution that can not only solve the problem of blood deficiency, but also solve the invasion of cold evil.
Angelica sinensis, white peony root, 12 grams each of Fangfeng, 10 grams each of cassia twig and peach kernel, 4 grams of Asarum, Mutong , 6 grams each of licorice, 3 jujubes, 20 grams each of Suanzaoren and Ejiao.
Here is actually the cut of Angelica Sini soup.
Danggui Sini Decoction, a classic prescription in “Treatise on Febrile Diseases”, is an agent for warming meridians and dispelling cold. Its composition is 9 grams of Angelica sinensis, 9 grams of Guizhi, 9 grams of peony, 3 grams of Asarum, 6 grams of Zhigancao, 6 grams of Tongcao, and 8 jujubes.
What can it do? It is to warm meridians, dispel cold, nourish blood and dredge meridians. Among them, the matter of dispelling cold is handed over to Guizhi and Asarum. The matter of nourishing blood and dredging the pulse is handed over to Angelica, Shaoyao, and Tongcao. Licorice and jujube, spleen and blood, promote blood. The whole formula nourishes blood and disperses cold, warms blood vessels.
It’s simple, clear, and understandable, but honestly, it’s impossible to cover everything. Therefore, non-professional readers, you’d better learn from and apply it under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation. In particular, if the asarum in Danggui Sini Decoction is used too much (mostly for safety reasons in clinical practice, the application amount should not exceed 3 grams), it is easy to bring about bad results. This is what we need to pay attention to.
