Clinical Examples of Maxing Shigan Decoction

Maxingshi dry soup comes from Treatise on Febrile Diseases and is composed of Herba Ephedrae, almond, licorice and gypsum. The original prescription is used: Guizhi decoction should not be used after sweating. If sweating and asthma, it can be combined with ephedra, almond and licorice gypsum decoction. This article clearly points out that heat evil forces the lungs to pant after sweating. Ephedra and almond in the prescription are used to relieve asthma and cough; Ephedra mixed plaster can relieve stagnation heat, whether sweating or not, just as Yuemai decoction can treat "feng shui evil wind, body edema, floating pulse without thirst, sweating without stopping, without fever". Ephedra is not used with cassia twig, which can drive away lung evil without sweating. Therefore, this prescription is not a pungent antiperspirant, but a pungent and cool antipyretic. This prescription focuses on releasing internal heat, not dispersing external cold. Although it can sweat, it is weak and suitable for people with fever and sweating. If they are afraid of cold and have no sweat, they can only be relieved in this way. The "not hot" here is not that there is no fever, but there is no strong heat. "Not hot" is the process of disease. If you can't sweat, heat evil will break out naturally. Using ephedra to penetrate the exterior is to give evil a way out, clear the interior with plaster and put an end to the source of evil heat. Later, sages used Mahuang Pingchuan Decoction, which was also legislated. The author uses this prescription to clear the interior and reveal the exterior, and applies it to many diseases. The examples are as follows.

1. Infant frequent micturition Mai Mou, male, 8 years old, was first diagnosed on 200 1, 2 1. Suffering from "pneumonia" for 2 weeks, sudden frequent urination and urgency 1 week, aggravated for 2 days. Frequent urination 10 times a day, accompanied by urgency, but no abdominal pain or dysuria. Urine test: a little urine protein (-), white blood cells (++), red blood cells. Sallow and emaciated, sore throat, dry mouth and drinking, unpleasant stool, abdominal distension; Breathing sounds in both lungs are thick, and rales cannot be heard; The tongue coating is thin, yellow and greasy, the tongue is red and the pulse is slippery. Lower energizer syndrome is damp-heat, and the initial addition and subtraction of Bazhengsan has no effect, that is, Maxingshi dry soup is added: roasted ephedra 6g, almond 9g, licorice 3g, gypsum 15g, Yunnan Qu 10g, medulla tetrapanacis 9g, ootheca mantidis 9g, plantain 12g, and forsythia suspensa. After taking 3 doses, the symptoms were relieved, and after taking 5 doses, the frequent urination disappeared. 1 week later, the urine routine was normal and there was no discomfort. He recovered and no recurrence was found after half a year's follow-up.

Wind evil invades the lungs first, leading to the loss of lung qi in xuanjiang, and the spring source on the water is out of control; In addition, the water is wet and does not retreat, and it turns into heat for a long time, and the waterway is unfavorable, the bladder stands up and urinates frequently. Maxing Shigan Decoction specializes in treating lung depression, releasing qi, "lifting the pot and uncovering the lid", boiling water to relieve depression, helping bladder gasification and stopping frequent urination.

2. Insomnia Jiang, male, 3 1 year old, was first diagnosed in April 2002 1 1. Self-reported insomnia for more than 2 months, only sleeping for 2 ~ 3 hours every night, dizziness, heavy head, bitter mouth and dry mouth, always eating spicy and greasy food, easy to catch a cold. Heavy head, dizziness, body pain, dysphoria, belching, nausea, no appetite, yellowish greasy tongue and slippery pulse. Syndrome belongs to phlegm heat, which can be treated by clearing phlegm heat and calming the nerves.

After taking 6 doses, my sleep has improved. I can sleep for 3 ~ 4 hours every night, but sometimes I get upset. I still took it from above for 1 month, and the symptoms disappeared. My insomnia was cured. I followed up for 1.5 years and found no recurrence.

Usually fat and sweet, accumulate dampness and produce phlegm, consolidate phlegm and produce heat, and phlegm and heat are intertwined, so I feel uneasy and can't sleep. The lung governs the qi of the whole body, and if the qi is unfavorable, it is difficult to be wet and turbid. Taking Maxing Shigan decoction to remove licorice and warm gallbladder decoction to open up the upper and lower meridians can eliminate dampness, eliminate phlegm and smooth, clear away heat, calm the heart and soothe the nerves, and treat insomnia.

3. Rheumatoid Arthralgia Wang, female, 44 years old, was first diagnosed in May, 200 1, 17. Cough without exogenous factors for 65,438+0 weeks. In the past 3 days, the right ankle joint has been swollen and painful, with difficulty in flexion and extension, walking, burning sensation in local skin, bitter mouth and dry mouth, yellow urine, unpleasant stool, abdominal distension, yellow and greasy tongue coating and slippery pulse. Diagnosed as arthralgia syndrome, it belongs to rheumatic arthralgia.

Remove talc, Cortex Phellodendri and Cortex Erythrinae above, and take 7 doses to consolidate the curative effect. Follow-up 1 year showed no recurrence.

According to the advantages and disadvantages of pathogenic factors, ancient physicians divided arthralgia syndrome into wind arthralgia, wet arthralgia, cold arthralgia and heat arthralgia. However, arthralgia rarely exists alone, and it is often the coexistence of all evils. In this case, the first thing to feel is exogenous evil, followed by damp-heat accumulation, joint decline, and qi and blood stasis. The treatment should be dispersing lung qi and clearing away damp heat. If Maxing Shigan decoction is used to relieve depressed lung qi, the evil qi will dissipate, dry dampness and clear heat, and arthralgia syndrome will heal itself.

4. Viral myocarditis Chimou, male, 2 1 year old,1999165438+1was first diagnosed on October 23rd. More than half a month, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitation and fatigue came to see a doctor for 3 days. The patient has always been in good health. Half a month ago, he felt cold, aversion to cold, fever and sore throat, so he took medicine and infusion. After the symptoms improved, he felt flustered, weak and dizzy.

It is diagnosed as acute viral myocarditis, which belongs to heart depression and palpitation in traditional Chinese medicine, but the lung qi is depressed and the spleen and kidney are deficient.

Decoct with water every day 1 dose. After taking 7 doses, the symptoms are relieved, and then taking 7 doses, the symptoms disappear and the electrocardiogram is normal. After removing ephedra, take 10 dose to consolidate the curative effect, and then check the myocardial zymogram to be normal. Follow-up 10 years, no recurrence.

Viral myocarditis belongs to the categories of "fright", "palpitation", "heart obstruction" and "fatigue" in traditional Chinese medicine. Exogenous evil is the cause, and the healthy qi of human body is damaged at the same time. Maxing Shigan Decoction can spread lung qi, not only dispel exogenous pathogens, but also contribute to the smooth flow of qi and blood, create conditions for the recovery of healthy qi, and also have the effect of calming the internal and disturbing the external, so it can be effective.

5.

After half a month's conditioning, her appetite increased, her stool was normal, and her temperature did not fluctuate. She recovered. There was no recurrence at the end of that summer.

In summer, children's careless living, coupled with greed and coldness, lead to cold and dampness invading, lung qi stagnation, spleen dampness and sleepiness. Children's pure yang body is easily injured by body fluids, and if body fluids do not disperse, symptoms such as excessive drinking and polyuria will occur. Maxing Shigan Decoction helps spleen transport and eliminate dampness by dispersing lung and expelling heat.
