Most common anti-inflammatory drugs in daily life are Western medicines, such as amoxicillin, cephalosporin, etc., which many people have used.

Compared to Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects. I would like to recommend an ancient prescription that can be regarded as the "golden oil" in traditional Chinese medicine anti-inflammatory drugs, which can effectively alleviate various inflammatory problems caused by heat toxicity.
In the system of traditional Chinese medicine, especially modern Chinese medicine, detoxification must be combined with clearing heat. In fact, detoxification has nothing to do with clearing heat, but we have used this term in such a vague way.
For example, the drugs we most commonly use to detoxify are licorice and mung beans. The reason why licorice can detoxify is because it can harmonize various medicines, reduce drug bias, and form a balance effect between them.
Mung beans detoxify because they have this effect. However, according to modern scientific explanations, mung beans contain a large amount of protein, which can combine with toxic substances to reduce their harm to the human body.
The saying goes: "If there is an imbalance between yin and yang, diseases will arise." Human diseases are nothing but yang diseases and yin diseases. This prescription is specifically designed to treat yang hyperactivity.
No matter what kind of heat or inflammation, 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 an ancient prescription from the Tang Dynasty, derived from the Secret Essentials of the Outer Platform. It is called Huanglian Jiedu Tang, which includes 9 grams of Huanglian, 9 grams of Zhizi, 6 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, and 6 grams of Huangbai.
Two four 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 toxicity and fire toxicity, and are suitable for use with this prescription. The efficacy of clearing heat and detoxifying is very strong, directly releasing fire toxins.
The so-called detoxification in traditional Chinese medicine is actually a misconception about poison, where the extreme evil of fire and heat is called poison.
This is 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": "To treat all types of fire and evil, there are symptoms such as excessive external and internal heat, restlessness and restlessness, dry mouth and throat, intense heat and dry vomiting, incorrect language and sleeplessness, vomiting blood, bleeding, and excessive heat and freckles."
Huanglian has a bitter taste and can treat excessive heat in the middle burner. It is good at clearing the heart and stomach fire. Huanglian can detoxify because it can dry dampness and thicken the intestines and stomach. The addition of Huangqin further enhances the effect of Huanglian on thickening the intestines and stomach, because Huangqin can lower phase fire, and inflammation caused by phase fire will inevitably lead to stomach qi inversion. After adding Huangqin, the possibility of stomach qi inversion is reduced.
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. Another wonderful thing about Scutellaria baicalensis is its ability to extinguish gallbladder fire. Xiaochaihu Tang is used to extinguish gallbladder fire. 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. In addition, Huangbai can also replenish water. The reason why the human body is feverish is actually because the fire is too strong. If using cold medicines such as gypsum is ineffective, it is because "cold is not cold, it is anhydrous." The addition of Huangbai enhances the therapeutic effect of this formula in nourishing kidney water.
Gardenia has a cold nature, and this medicine is too powerful. It is good at clearing the fire of the three jiao and expelling heat evil from the urine.
Gardenia jasminoides can clear the heart and lung heat, clear the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and stomach heat in the middle, clear the bladder, water, and fu heat in the lower part, and lead the heat down to the water channel, so that the turbid fire is discharged downwards without disturbing the upper part of the fire. It naturally brings peace and tranquility to the mind and body.
Three Jiao is a traditional Chinese medicine concept, which is one of the "Six Fu Organs" and is divided into upper Jiao, middle Jiao, and lower Jiao.
Upper Jiao generally refers to the part above the diaphragm, including the heart and lungs, the head, face, and upper limbs;
Middle Jiao refers to the upper abdomen below the diaphragm and above the navel, including organs such as the spleen, stomach, liver, and gallbladder;
Lower Jiao refers to the part below the navel, including the small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, bladder, lower limbs, and the reproductive system of men and women.
Sanjiao is a pathway for the upward and downward movement of Qi in the human body, as well as a pathway for the transportation of water and fluids in the body.
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.
During festivals and holidays, it is common to fry and barbecue large fish and meat. If eaten, the stomach will become blocked and the teeth will 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 its mouth to the tongue. Let's pay attention and see if the tongue is like a flame, with the heart controlling the 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.
The kidney governs reproduction. What color is 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.
Looking at some people, they become irritable and suffer from insomnia due to excessive heat. They feel depressed and restless, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
These people involuntarily drink some cold water before going to bed, and using Huanglian Jiedu Tang is more effective than any sleeping pills.
Let's take a look again, two people with insomnia. You can bring two glasses of water, one hot water, and one 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 called herpes zoster, commonly known as snake coiled waist in folk, which causes excruciating pain and grows rapidly, spreading like a fire. Herpes zoster grows in the armpit, surrounded by the liver meridian.
Just eat Longdan Xiegan Wan and Huanglian Jiedu Tang together. Once the heart and liver fire are cleared, the herpes can no longer spread. The source of the fire is restrained, and it gradually improves later.
In short, 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 excessive heat and irritability, similar to dry throat and dry mouth, excessive heat and irritability, and insomnia, which have some characteristics of qi and heat, as well as blood, such as rectal bleeding, epistaxis, etc.
In summary, as long as it is acute inflammation, you can determine that it is caused by heat. You don't need to worry about what the hospital gives you a disease name, as long as it meets the heat toxicity, you can use this prescription.
There is a saying that goes, "When the fire burns, people become impatient, and their hearts are like stagnant water and Huanglian Tang.".
