Traditional Chinese medicine says, "If there is an imbalance between yin and yang, diseases will arise." Human diseases are nothing but yang and yin diseases. This prescription is specifically designed to treat yang hyperactivity.
No matter what kind of fire, it can quickly subside in front of it. So ancient people said it was a commonly used formula for fever.
If you master this prescription well, you can basically cure half of the illness because its effect is too great.
This prescription is called Huanglian Jiedu Tang. Huanglian Jiedu Tang is not Zhang Zhongjing's prescription, but it is also an ancient prescription from the Tang Dynasty, derived from the "Secret Essentials of the Outer Platform". The combination of Huanglian and Huangqin, as well as the combination of Huangbai and Zhizi, are all classic combinations of Zhang Zhongjing. Combining these two prescriptions together is called Huanglian Jiedu Tang.
The extreme evil of fire and heat is poison. There are four herbs in Huanglian Jiedu Tang, including Huanglian, Huangqin, Huangbai, and Zhizi. These herbs have strong effects in clearing heat, purging fire, and detoxifying. They are commonly used to treat acute inflammation caused by fever and infections in various systems of the body. They belong to the symptoms of heat and fire toxicity, and are suitable for use. The Qingre Jiedu effect is very strong, directly releasing fire poison.
It's like when a pot of water is boiling vigorously, you pour some cold water on it, which is equivalent to using some heat clearing and fire reducing methods. According to "Chengyi Reading", "it can be said that treating all types of fire and evil, both the exterior and interior are active, restless and restless, the mouth is dry and the throat is dry, the fever is dry and nauseous, the wrong language is not sleeping, vomiting blood, bleeding, and excessive heat and freckles are symptoms." It can be said that eating in the morning and evening is effective, which means eating in the morning, taking effect in the afternoon, taking it in the afternoon, and getting better the next morning.
01 In treating symptoms of various systems in the body,
The body is accompanied by symptoms of fire, heat, and toxicity. It is suitable to selectively add some medicinal herbs to this prescription. When using it, it is necessary to pay attention to the dosage, generally 6 to 10 grams, and also pay attention to the use time. After all, long-term use of bitter cold products can damage the yang, spleen, and qi.
Huanglian Jiedu Tang: 9 grams each of Huanglian and Zhizi, and 6 grams each of Huangqin and Huangbai.
Huanglian has a bitter taste and can treat excessive heat in the middle burner. It is good at clearing the heart and stomach fire.
Scutellaria baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var. baicalensis var.
Scutellaria baicalensis has another wonderful feature, which is to extinguish gallbladder fire with Xiaochaihu Tang,
What is the manifestation of heavy gallbladder fire? Bitter mouth and dry throat, severe dizziness.
Huangbai is bitter and cold, used to treat the excess heat in the lower burner, and is good at purging the excessive heat in the kidney.
Gardenia jasminoides has a cold nature, but it is too powerful. It can treat the excess heat of the three jiao and is good at expelling heat from the urine.
From the perspective of Sanjiao, it is good at clearing the heat and toxicity of Sanjiao, and can be paired with it in all directions. But in reality, this concept of three jiao also includes that three jiao is a waterway, which can both clear heat and promote water circulation. So it can generate the heat of the Three Jiao from a young age.
They are all bitter cold medicines, so people with cold deficiency should be careful not to take them easily to prevent further harm.
The fire is said to be on the top of the fire, and we use cooling medicine for the fire on the top of the fire.
Hot tooth pain, carbuncle sores in the teeth, and swollen gum flesh. Huanglian Jiedu Tang is simply its nemesis.
Like frying and grilling, big fish and big meat, when eaten, my stomach gets blocked and my teeth become swollen. Take one or two packs of Huanglian Jiedu Tang and defecate, and the fire will subside.
So the Inner Canon says, "Gao Liang has a thick taste and produces big boils.". The thick flavor of sorghum can accumulate heat and poison, and if the poison is hot for a long time, it will develop into sores. So a light diet is important.
The heart opens up in the tongue. The tongue is like a flame, and the heart controls fire.
So for oral ulcers, redness on the tip of the tongue, or acute pharyngitis, difficulty swallowing, swelling of the throat, and hoarse speech, after brewing Huanglian Jiedu Tang into tea, sip it, take it in your mouth, and then swallow it. Let it work there, and the effect is good.
Liver fire and red eyes. Whenever you stay up late looking at your phone or computer and see your eyes turn red, painful, and swollen, Huanglian Jiedu Tang can clear heat and brighten your eyes.
02 What color is the fire again?
Red, red, yellow, and yellow. Yellow red represents heat, while clear and sparse represent cold.
What color is a person's urine when they have urethritis or cystitis? Yellow red, yellow red. Urethritis and cystitis are acute, short, red, astringent, and unbearable, some of which cannot be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. What to use? Huanglian Jiedu Tang.
Being irritable and insomnia caused by excessive heat can make one feel depressed and restless, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
Before going to bed every night, you need to drink cold water before going to bed. Huanglian Jiedu Tang is more effective than any sleeping pills, so for two people with insomnia, you can bring two glasses of water, one cup of hot water, and one cup of cold water. Take hot water to warm and unblock meridians; Take cold water to clear heat and detoxify. This is called following its trend.
There is also a type of herpes zoster that is extremely painful. Take Longdan Xiegan Wan and Huanglian Jiedu Pian together.
Herpes zoster grows in the armpit, surrounded by the liver meridian. So use Longdan Xiegan Wan, and the herpes grows quickly, like a fire spreading. So use Huanglian to detoxify. Once the heart and liver fire are cleared, the herpes can no longer spread. The source of the fire has been contained, and it gradually improves afterwards.
In summary, Huanglian Jiedu Tang, as a representative formula for clearing heat and detoxifying, is also a basic formula that involves a wide range of aspects, such as high fever and irritability, similar to dry throat and dry mouth, high fever and irritability, and insomnia due to incorrect language. It also involves blood, such as bloody stools and bleeding. It does not mean that these diseases occur simultaneously. As long as they meet the requirements of this heat toxin, this prescription can be used.
