Introduction

“Dampness” is one of the most “famous” diseases, obesity, high blood lipids, acne… Many common diseases are related to humidity. In order to remove dampness, red bean barley soup and winter melon tea are highly sought after, but when it comes to commonly used clinical prescriptions, Sanren Tang is a well-deserved “starter”. Today, starting from the pulse syndrome, let’s get to know this ancient recipe for dampness.

Tongue pulse:Shangyue , the pulse is stringy and moist, with astringent images, the more obvious on the right-hand pulse. The tongue body is too large, the tongue coating is white and thick, and the pale yellow tongue coating can be seen in the middle of the tongue.

Symptoms:Headache, dizziness, weight, limbs Soreness, mental fatigue, chest tightness and discomfort, anorexia, loss of appetite, reluctance to drink water, symptoms of fever in the afternoon, sticky stools, and a stringy pulse.

We mentioned when we talked about the pulse,The main qi of the moisten pulse is damp. The astringent pulse here means that water dampness blocks the qi movement, so the pulse has astringent appearance. When dampness blocks the qi of the liver and gallbladder, string pulses appear. If the pulse is rapid and the tongue coating is yellow and thick, it means dampness has turned into heat. The pulse indicates that we have damp heat in the middle and upper coke.

Damp heat will cause headache and dizziness. Dampness is a yin evil, and the dampness is heavy and turbid, which blocks the yang energy of the upper Jiao, so there will be heavy head and body sleepiness and mental fatigue. Chest tightness, anorexia, loss of appetite, and white and thick tongue coating are all due to dampness invading the human body, blocking the qi movement of the middle energizer, and affecting the transport and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach. White or light yellow fur, not fond of drinking water, it means that the heat is not obvious, the body fluid and yin fluid are sufficient, and there is no yin injury, because after all, dampness is the main factor.

It often heats up in the afternoon, due to the combination of humidity and heat. These symptoms are most likely to be seen in the long summer and dog days, and the afternoon of the day is also the time when the heat and humidity between heaven and earth are the most obvious, so the fever will be obvious in the afternoon.

Here I will talk about the symptoms that are more likely to be confused. It is also the symptoms of headache, dizziness, and body aches. The difference between internal resistance of damp heat and external cold. We distinguish from the pulse, the damp-heat internal resistance is mainly the moist pulse, the moist pulse is the floating pulse, the blood vessel is thicker, and the whole pulse gives a feeling of not smooth; Exogenous wind-cold is a floating pulse with a tight string, and the pulse beat is more obvious. From the sensory point of view, the damp-heat internal resistance syndrome has a feeling of sleepiness and heaviness; while the wind-cold syndrome has severe headache and no obvious feeling of bloating. In terms of tongue coating, the damp-heat syndrome has thick tongue coating, and the wind-cold syndrome has no obvious change. These can be used as the basis for the distinction.

About the symptoms of chest tightness, anorexia, loss of appetite, and fever in the afternoon, it is easy to correlate with Yangming Fu confused. Yangming Fu evidence, also known as Chengqi Decoction series, its symptoms will also include stomach bloating, chest tightness, loss of appetite, and hot flashes in the afternoon.

From the perspective of symptoms, there are still many differences from damp-heat block syndrome. According to the evidence of Yangming, there will be the characteristics of ruffian, full, dry, and full, stomach pain, fullness in the heart, and refusal to press, there is a sense of resistance, dry stool, hot flashes in the afternoon, which are bursts Fever, sweaty palms and feet, and the smell of sweat is obvious, dry mouth and thirst.

The chest tightness of the damp-heat internal air resistance machine is a subjective symptom, and there is no chest and stomach when pressing. Feeling of resistance, fever in the afternoon is also a subjective symptom. If you touch his skin, it may not be very hot, but he himself feels irritable and unbearable, and he does not necessarily sweat, and he does not drink much water.

In addition, according to the tongue coating and pulse condition, the yang-ming fu-organs demonstrate the slippage of the pulse. Yellow and greasy tongue coating, accompanied by bad breath. It is well differentiated from the wet and astringent pulse and white thick tongue with damp-heat internal resistance.

It is clear that it is a combination of damp and heat, mainly damp, and blocks the lung and stomach qi. Then the treatment method should revolve around the damp heat and the middle and upper Jiao of the right path, and the treatment method will come out naturally.

Sanren soup and Huopu Xialing soup are more suitable. There is an interesting square song about Sanren Soup: Three people climb a bamboo pole and slide down, It is very easy to memorize through similar sounds The 8 herbs are subtly included. I used this method to memorize Sanren Tang. The three are almond, white kohlrabi, and coix seed. Bamboo is bamboo leaf. and Pinellia.

This recipe uses Sanren as the king medicine , almonds can lower the qi in the lungs of the upper energizer, and the qi movement helps to humidify; the white kombu is fragrant and dehumidifies, and can activate qi, which can unblock the qi of the middle and upper energizers; coix seed is light infiltration Diuretic water, so that the spleen and stomach dampness is discharged from the urine. “Sanren” has included the whole treatment method of clearing dampness and heat, dispelling lung and stomach qi, and several other herbs are to strengthen the auxiliary role.

Talc, Tongcao, Bamboo Leaf can be regarded as a group, they all have clear We can think of these three herbs as a relay group for clearing dampness and heat. Bamboo leaves act on the Heart Meridian of Upper Jiao, clearing the heart and diverting water, and leading heat down; , connecting the upper and lower; talc belongs to the ore drug, the quality is heavy, and it deviates from the middle and lowerJiao, dampness-heat, open the orifices, and finally expel the damp-heat from the body through urination.

Hopu and Pinellia can be regarded as a group, Magnolia is broad, middle and lower Qi, spreads the Qi mechanism of the entire right path; Pinellia dries dampness, lowers the qi mechanism of the lung and stomach, and the two herbs focus on drying the dampness and promoting the Qi mechanism, regulating the Qi mechanism of the right path. We use the bark of the Magnolia officinalis tree. The Magnolia officinalis tree is squat and squat, so it is like expanding the airway and intestines, and then using Pinellia to descend again and again. The machine is naturally announced, and sometimes Chinese medicine is like this.

Sanren Decoction is unique in its overall drug compatibility and clear thinking. Among them, three benevolent medicines are used as the main body of the prescription to clear away dampness and heat and clear the lungs and stomach. Bamboo leaves, Tongcao, and talc tend to dispel physical dampness, and mainly clear away heat and dampness, which is why Fang’s left wing; Magnolia and Pinellia act on the invisible qi and smooth the ventilation, which is the right wing of the party. The three-way corps worked together to attack Huanglong, Xuan Shang, Chang Zhong, and Xia Xia, and played togetherdissolving the dampness and heat of the Sanjiao and smoothing the Qi Qi of the Sanjiao power.
