With the arrival of winter, the weather is gradually getting colder, and many people may have cold limbs. Everyone will definitely eat hot medicinal meals to warm up, and Shiquan Dabu Decoction should be everyone’s first choice, so the author today Let’s talkShiquan Dabu Decoction.
According to research Shiquan Dabu Decoction mainly comes from the Song Dynasty’s “Taiping Huimin Heji Bureau Prescriptions”. This book mainly collects various folk prescriptions at that time and handed them over to the government to publish them for the general public to use. The book has a total of 10 volumes, plus 3 volumes of “General Introduction to the Guide”, divided into 14 categories, recording 788 prescriptions. Some people say that the Shiquan Dabu Decoction that we are familiar with now comes from the chapter “Shiquan Dabu Decoction”, while others say It comes from the chapter “Shiquan Yin”. Although they are both in Volume 5 of the book, the records of their efficacy and indications are not the same. The medicinal materials used are the same, but the dosage and processing techniques are different. According to the imperial decree Let’s take a look at the contents of the Jinling edition of “Sikuquanshu” to compare the differences:
<Shiquan Dabu Decoction> The title of the chapter, content and efficacy record: “Treat all deficiencies in men and women, five kinds of labor and seven injuries, not eating, long-term illness and weakness, hot flashes, gas pain, night dreams Nocturnal emission, sallow complexion, weakness in the legs and knees, qi that is not as good as before after all diseases, worries and worries that damage the blood, spleen and kidney qi are weak, and depression in the five hearts, all of them can be treated by this medicine. , warms the spleen and kidneys, and its effect cannot be specified.”
<Shiquan Yin> The title of the chapter, content and efficacy records: “Cure all kinds of deficiency and damage, disharmony between honor and guard, thin body, flaccid and yellow complexion, sore feet and knees, tiredness and pain in the waist and back, dizziness, dry ears and tongue, This medicine is suitable for patients with bone heat, internal upset, excessive sweating, diet, cold and heat, asthma, coughing, vomiting, spermatorrhea and blood loss. This medicine is effective as a tonic and is suitable for women who are not recovering from illness and are worried about their blood and Qi. Take it.”
The two ingredients are mainly composed of blood-enhancing four things Soup plus Qi-based Four Gentlemen Decoction becomes a tonic for Qi and bloodBazhen and then add Huangqi It became the so-called Shiquan Dabu Decoction。
The medicinal materials in the prescription are 當歸，Chuanxiong，白芍，熟地，人參，茯苓，白朮，甘草，Huang Qi和Cinnamon，Among them, Rehmannia glutinosa is divided into raw rehmannia and cooked rehmannia according to the different processing methods. Raw rehmannia has a better heat-clearing effect, while cooked rehmannia has a better tonic effect. However, the appearance and color are similar, so you should be careful when purchasing. In addition, ginger is mentioned in the book. SanpianheRed datestwo to increase its effect.
According to records from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ministry of Health and Welfare, TaiwanShiquan Dabu Decoction is used to replenish blood and replenish qi. It is suitable for those with deficiency of qi and blood and tired limbs. In terms of use, such as yin deficiency and excessive fire or liver yang. People with high blood pressure should take it with caution. Generally speaking, the medicinal materials in the prescription tend to be “warm”, so people who are prone to acne, or those who have dry mouth and tongue often have problems with sore mouth and sore throat after taking it. In addition, the angelica contained in it contains Volatile oil has the effect of moisturizing the intestines, so people with poor gastrointestinal problems may have diarrhea problems. In addition, for women, it is best not to consume it if there is a lot of menstrual blood during menstruation, so as not to affect the cycle and eventually cause high blood pressure. It is not suitable for long-term consumption by people with poor blood pressure, heart function, or kidney function. I hope that everyone can eat the correct medicinal diet at the right time this winter to maintain health and be fully prepared for the arrival of next spring.
