Chapter 25: Differences between Lizhong Pills and Buzhong Yiqi Pills
"What's going on?" Li Duanyang asked.
"Well, my best friend was feeling a little unwell. I diagnosed her and found that she had a spleen and stomach problem, so I suggested that she take Chinese patent medicines that can strengthen the spleen.
But when I went to the drugstore, I found that there were too many Chinese patent medicines for tonifying and strengthening the spleen, and all of them seemed to have similar effects.
Finally, we decided on two medicines: Lizhong Pills and Buzhong Yiqi Pills.
My best friend said that I was studying Chinese medicine after all, so she asked me to make a decision. I cast lots myself and chose Buzhong Yiqi Pills.
Unexpectedly, not only did she not feel better after taking it, but she also became angry and had a lot of acne on her face, and she couldn't go to school. Now I seriously suspect that I chose the wrong medicine for her."
After Qin Linlin finished speaking, she glanced at the back seat from the rearview mirror and saw Li Duanyang leaning back on the seat with his eyes closed, the muscles on his face twitching and his body shaking.
"What's wrong with you? Is the hornet offended?" She knew that this guy was laughing at her, laughing like crazy.
"Hahahaha," Li Duanyang finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "What on earth do you think? One of you dares to treat people after studying Chinese medicine for a few days, and the other one really dares to believe it! Hahaha, you are laughing so hard.
Got it!"
"Li Duanyang, if you laugh again! If you laugh again, believe it or not, I will drive the car into the river!" Qin Linlin clenched her teeth and yelled bluffingly.
"No, no, no, no!" Li Duanyang waved his hand quickly, "I am not laughing anymore, hahaha...ah, there is such a big difference between the Lizhong Pills and the Buzhong Yiqi Pills, how can you get it wrong, and you dare to find the medicine yourself, it's really...
...Okay, okay, after all, you have just studied for a few days."
"What's the big difference between Lizhong Pills and Buzhong Yiqi Pills? Li Duanyang, are you talking nonsense with your eyes closed? It's obviously easy to get confused, okay?" Qin Linlin said, patting the steering wheel.
"Ahem!" Li Duanyang coughed a few times and sat upright, "Now drive well and listen to me tell you the difference. I also admire your writing skills. You should be able to figure out the difference between the word "Li" and the word "Yi".
.
Manager, combing, what is combing? Replenishing while expelling.
Therefore, the function of Lizhong Pills is to expel the cold and dampness in the spleen and stomach, and at the same time replenish the middle qi.
The zhongqi here refers specifically to the temper.
Benefit means increase, and benefiting qi means increasing qi.
What Buzhong Yiqi Pill increases is Zong Qi, which is the Qi generated by transporting and transforming the essence of water and grain.
You can also understand Zong Qi as the essence in the entire internal organs.
Many organs and other tissues in the human body are supported by this qi.
If there is less Qi, Qi traps are likely to occur, and the organs and other tissues will sag. In mild cases, the patient will feel tired and weak, and in severe cases, the patient will suffer from gastroptosis, uterine prolapse, anal prolapse, etc.
symptom.
Can you understand these?
To briefly summarize, Lizhong Pills are used to expel cold and dampness from the spleen and stomach, while also replenishing spleen and stomach; Buzhong Yiqi Pills are used to replenish Zongqi and encourage Zongqi.”
Li Duanyang stopped here.
"I understand, you continue." Qin Linlin said.
"Okay, let me tell you the differences between these two medicines based on their composition.
Lizhong Pills are composed of four herbs: ginseng, dried ginger, licorice (zhuan), and atractylodes.
Among these four herbs, dried ginger is pungent and hot in nature. You can also see the efficacy of dried ginger from this nature and taste.
It has a pungent taste and explodes in the body like a bomb. It can circulate qi and form strong convection winds in the body! In addition, it is hot in nature, so it can help yang and dispel cold!
In this pill, it is the king medicine.
Ginseng is slightly warm in nature, sweet in taste (can enter the spleen), slightly bitter, and returns to the spleen and lung meridian. It has the effect of greatly replenishing vitality and clearing the yang of the spleen. It can help dry ginger to replenish yang and dispel cold. It is a minister
medicine.
Atractylodes can strengthen the spleen and dry dampness (so it can remove dampness), and is an adjuvant medicine.
Zhigancao replenishes qi and harmonizes the central nervous system, relieves pain and relieves pain. It can also be used as a herbal medicine by harmonizing various medicines.
Therefore, the combination of these four herbs can not only remove cold and dampness from the spleen and stomach, but also replenish the spleen and stomach, so it can regulate the spleen and stomach very well, so it is called Lizhong Wan.
Therefore, it can warm the middle (referring to the middle burnt spleen and stomach), dispel cold, replenish qi and strengthen the spleen.
All illnesses caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, such as vomiting and abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dysentery, mid-cold cholera, etc., can be treated with this Lizhong Pill.
The Buzhong Yiqi Pills are mainly composed of astragalus (honey-roasted), licorice (honey-roasted), dangshen, atractylodes (fried), angelica, cohosh, bupleurum, tangerine peel and other herbs.
Among them, astragalus, cohosh and bupleurum all have the effect of improving qi, so it can both replenish qi and improve qi.
Mainly targeted at people with weak spleen and stomach and depressed Qi.
It can treat symptoms such as abdominal distension due to lack of food, fatigue and fatigue, frequent asthma, body heat and sweating, headache and aversion to cold, chronic diarrhea, anal prolapse, uterine prolapse and other symptoms.”
After Li Duanyang finished speaking, Qin Linlin thought for a while and said: "I understand what you said before, but the symptoms that can be treated by the last two medicines confuse me again. I don't eat enough, have abdominal distension, and are tired and weak.
Aren’t the two medicines the same? How can people tell them apart when they are sick?”
"There are still subtle differences." Li Duanyang said feebly, "And you have ignored the fundamentals of TCM treatment. TCM treats syndromes, that is, it treats diseases based on the cause and pathogenesis of the patient, not based on symptoms.
Sick.
Even if the symptoms are the same but the cause and pathogenesis are different, different medicines will be used.
It is impossible for Western medicine to treat diseases entirely based on symptoms. Western medicine also needs to look for the cause and pathogenesis. However, Western medicine does not dig as deeply as traditional Chinese medicine. It is limited to looking for organic lesions.
For example, shoulder and back pain may be a precursor to myocardial infarction, and a basically qualified doctor will not make the mistake of treating shoulder and back pain."
"But ordinary people can only buy medicine based on symptoms?" Qin Linlin said unconvinced.
Li Duanyang smiled and did not answer this question.
It is easy for girls to use strong words when facing boys.
Even girls like Qin Linlin are not exempt from vulgarity.
"Okay, okay, I was just joking, so I can't treat people when I'm not at home." Qin Linlin patted the steering wheel a little irritably.
Studying medicine is really hard.
Especially Chinese medicine is more difficult.
After studying for so many days, she still doesn't understand the most basic diseases.
"You don't have to be a doctor. You can also write novels. Anyway, your writing style is so good." Li Duanyang said.
"My ideal is to be a doctor, an extremely good doctor."
"Writing novels can also be a doctor, a good doctor who heals people's hearts."
"Now is the world of Internet articles. When writing Internet articles, you need to talk about feelings and heal people's hearts. Li Duanyang, you can make people laugh to death. Then you can only write alone, and no one will read you.
book."
"Didn't you already write a best-selling book yourself?"
"There are only best-selling books that have sold less than 100,000 copies. The so-called best-selling books are only relative to the current sluggish book market."
Li Duanyang said nothing more.
He just discovered today that Qin Linlin was also a little anxious.
It turns out that in this era, no one is without anxiety.
But with enough food and clothing, why is it that everyone in this era is less anxious than people in ancient times?
