【Predecessors release medicine】

"Compendium of Materia Medica": "Schizonepeta enters the Qi of the Jueyin meridian of the foot. It is good at removing wind evil, dispersing blood stasis, breaking up qi stagnation, and eliminating sore poison. Jueyin is wind and wood, which governs blood and is associated with fire. Therefore, it is an important medicine for wind diseases, blood diseases, and sore diseases."

"Ben Cao Jing Shu" states: "Jia Su is a wind medicine that enters the blood, so it can induce sweating; it is used to treat cold and heat. Cold and heat must be caused by the excess of evil. If the evil is dissipated and the muscles are relaxed and sweating occurs, the cold and heat will heal by themselves. Fistula is caused by the heat stagnation in the foot Shaoyang and Yangming meridians, and scrofula is also a disease of the two meridians. Ulcers are caused by heat and dampness in the blood. Cooling the blood and drying the dampness will cause the ulcers to fall off. Breaking up the knots and gathering qi is the power of pungent and warm dispersing. The blood stasis enters the blood, and the pungent is used to disperse it, and the warm is used to move it. Arthralgia is caused by the three evils of wind, cold and dampness. If the wind is dispelled, dampness and arthralgia will be eliminated by dispelling wind, dampness and coldness." "Schizonepeta is a pungent and warm wind medicine. It is used to ascend and disperse, and it cannot descend or collect."

"Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Schizonepeta is a light and lifting agent that can dispel wind and clear blood. ... For all symptoms of wind poison, when it has come out but has not yet come out, or when it is about to dissipate but cannot, use raw Schizonepeta to clear it. ... For all symptoms of blood loss, when it has stopped but has not yet stopped, or when it is about to go out but cannot, use stir-fried Schizonepeta until it is black to stop it. Generally speaking, spicy and fragrant herbs can dispel wind, and bitter and warm herbs can clear blood. It is a medicine for blood-stroke."

"Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Schizonepeta, which is mainly used to treat wind, can also treat blood because it enters the wind and wood organs, which is where blood is stored. Li Shicai said that wind is in the skin and outside the membrane, and Schizonepeta is the main treatment, unlike Saposhnikovia divaricata which can enter the bones and flesh."

Zhang Shouyi: "Schizonepeta can treat wind-heat symptoms on the surface and above, can relieve lung heat and reach the skin and fur, is suitable for wind-heat cough, wind-heat exogenous headache, cold and heat, and is also the main medicine. It also enters the blood, clears blood heat, can treat throat, throat, mouth, tongue, hair and chin, big head symptoms, and also treats sores, wind scabies, scrofula, vomiting and bleeding, bleeding, metrorrhagia, can clear up and down, disperse knots and guide blood stasis, and has many effects, and is also very fast. It is truly a great method for wind-heat and blood heat, and should not be ignored because it is cheap and easy to obtain. However, the ancient method often said that postpartum stroke, mouth closure and spasm, opisthotonos, blood fainting and unconsciousness, there is a bean pouring wine method, with Fangfeng, Qianghuo, Schizonepeta and other drugs, fried and ground into powder, and black soybeans are used to heat, and wine is poured while the medicine is hot. It means that this is a sudden external wind after childbirth, so it is suitable to take wind medicine wine, warm up and disperse the method, no matter which book , often called a great effect, and even attributed to Hua Yuanhua, called it Huatuo Yufengsan. But people do not know that postpartum syncope and opisthotonos are purely due to the loss of yin from below and the floating of yang from above. Although it is called a stroke, it is clearly the internal wind that rises and rushes to the brain, causing the perception and movement to suddenly become abnormal. Suppressing and lowering it is still feared to be ineffective, so people blindly use wind medicine and add hot wine. This is like teaching a monkey to raise wood, adding fuel to the fire, and killing it even more. How can it be effective? These are all the treatments of the ancients who mistakenly regarded internal wind as external wind. …Only when Schizonepeta is fried until black, its light and dispersing properties are lost, but black can enter the blood and stop the bleeding. If too much blood is lost after childbirth, yin cannot contain yang, and fainting and stupor occur, using urine from children can stabilize the changes of qi and blood rushing to the brain. This is killing two birds with one stone, and it is a good recipe. This should not be compared with the method of pouring beans and wine."

    Precautions for making Chinese herbal medicine:

    1. The medicine jar must be cleaned

    When decocting Chinese medicine, the medicinal juice is concentrated due to evaporation of water, and a layer of medicinal scale often accumulates at the bottom and around the medicine pot. If the decocted medicine in the medicine pot is often changed, and the accumulated medicinal scale is not wiped off in time, the medicinal scale will dissolve when the new medicine is decocted, interfering with and reducing the efficacy of the medicine, and even delaying the treatment of the disease. Especially if highly toxic medicines or external medicines that cannot be eaten have been decocted before, it may cause poisoning.

    In addition, if the Chinese medicine is not cleaned immediately after each decoction, the scale at the bottom of the medicine pot will become thicker and thicker, and it will easily burn when the medicine is re-decocted, thus losing its efficacy.

    2. Whether to cover the medicine

    Generally speaking, in order to make Chinese medicine boil thoroughly, it is best to cover it. This is especially true for Chinese medicines containing volatile ingredients, such as mint, patchouli, and perilla leaves, and they should be boiled in a short time to prevent the active ingredients from volatilizing. For some expensive medicines, such as ginseng, deer antler, and wolfberry, the active ingredients should be fully released.

    Some Chinese herbal medicines are light in weight and large in size, such as Centella asiatica, Prunella vulgaris, White tongcao, Loofah, Corn hair, etc., so they should not be decocted with the lid on, otherwise they will often overflow from the pot. You can decoct with the lid on and stir at any time.

    3. Fry thoroughly and squeeze dry

    "Decoction thoroughly" means that the active ingredients of the medicine are fully released, which is the basic requirement for decoction. For medicines with tough texture and difficult to release active ingredients at once, only by decoction separately, decocting first, decocting for a long time, etc. can the medicine juice be thickened and the efficacy be fully exerted. Medicines with loose texture and light and fragrant nature do not need to be decocted for too long; but herbs with light texture and large body should be stirred frequently to facilitate decoction.
