For any external infection, the first reaction is very important. If you just notice signs of a cold and take immediate measures, you can quickly block the disease back.
Repeatedly reminding everyone that the initial stage of an external infection is very important, just like catching fire. Just as there is a small flame, it can be extinguished by pouring a glass of water or grabbing a piece of clothing;
If the whole house is on fire, don't hesitate, run quickly, no one except the fire brigade can extinguish it.
When suffering from a cold, although most people experience cold on the outside and heat on the inside, adjustments should still be made according to the specific situation during treatment.
For example, if the internal heat is severe, the fever will not subside. At this time, it is necessary to add a medicine to clear the internal heat, which is gypsum.
A few days ago, a friend had a fever and went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed him erythromycin and Shuanghuanglian, and asked him to go home for recuperation.
After returning home, he burned to around 39 degrees and called me to ask what to do. I recommended gypsum glutinous rice soup to him.
Let him go to the pharmacy to buy fifteen grams of raw gypsum (not a large amount), and then boil it with a handful of rice. When the rice is cooked, he will drink the rice soup.
Generally, people who have burned 38 degrees can use this method, while those who have burned below 38 degrees do not need it.
This friend took raw gypsum rice soup in the afternoon, but by evening, his body temperature had returned to normal and he never had a fever again.
Gypsum glutinous rice soup: the fastest and most effective way to reduce fever.
Famous physician Zhang Xichun of the Republic of China made special use of plaster.
He tried to cure his 7-year-old child's cold and fever with raw gypsum, and then delved into the medical book "Shennong Bencao Jing", which said that raw gypsum is actually slightly cold, and he understood:
Actually, gypsum is not as cold as people say, it's just slightly cold.
From then on, Zhang Xichun had a clear idea about using raw gypsum. He had treated thousands of cases with raw gypsum and the results were very good. He claimed to have used it all his life and summarized how to use raw gypsum. Promoting the use of raw gypsum is his contribution to traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhang Xichun himself said, "When using gypsum to treat warm diseases, the veins are floating and strong, and the body is strong and hot. It can also treat all those who have just caught a cold and are not averse to it but have a fever in their heart." His gypsum glutinous rice soup is really helpful when used.
Below, I have excerpted the original text of the gypsum glutinous rice soup from Mr. Zhang Xichun's "Medical Zhong Zhong Shen Xi Lu".
[Original excerpt]: At the beginning of treating warm diseases, the pulse is floating and strong, and the body is strong and hot. And treat all those who have just caught a cold, have no aversion to the cold but have a fever in their heart.
Raw gypsum (two liang, finely rolled), raw glutinous rice (two halves), add two flavors, use three large bowls of water, fry until the rice is cooked, and you can get about two big glasses of clear juice.
Drink as much as possible while taking advantage of the heat, causing sweat to break out all over the body and no illness to heal. If the heat in the Yangming organs is already present, there is no need to take advantage of the heat and drink it slowly to reduce its heat.
Gypsum Japonica Rice Soup: 10-15 grams of raw gypsum, finely rolled, about 20 grams of glutinous rice, boiled in three large bowls of water until the rice is cooked, about two large bowls of clear juice can be obtained. Drink it as much as possible while heating it up to make the whole body sweat and heal. In general, the fever can quickly subside.
Everyone, gypsum is permeable to internal heat and can clear away heat pathogens from inside; The rice soup made from boiled rice can be consumed while it is hot. With this heat, the body can sweat and dispel the coldness on the surface; At the same time, glutinous rice can also harmonize stomach qi, which has been recorded in ancient books.
For example, Sun Simiao, a Tang Dynasty medical expert, emphasized in his book "Qian Jin Fang: Shi Zhi" that glutinous rice can nourish stomach qi and grow muscles;
The book "Shijian Bencao" also believes that glutinous rice has good effects on nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the five organs, and strengthening energy. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records the method of health preservation, eating more japonica rice porridge.
Japonica rice not only prevents gypsum from damaging the stomach, but also allows the medicinal properties of gypsum to linger in the stomach, allowing it to function for a longer period of time.
Because this medicine has a good antipyretic effect, does not harm the righteous qi, and is a non bitter traditional Chinese medicine that children can also drink.
Many parents do not use traditional Chinese medicine because they feel that it slows down fever and has a poor taste, making it difficult for their children to drink.
So, gypsum glutinous rice soup is really a good antipyretic medicine for children, and it won't easily recur like taking antipyretic medicine when the fever subsides.
Later, Zhang Xichun said something: (Raw gypsum) is cool and can disperse, with the ability to penetrate the surface and relieve muscle tension. For those with external heat, boldly using it directly surpasses the Golden Pill.
Note: Do not use calcined gypsum. Calcined gypsum is used for external injuries and helps with muscle recovery. Calcined gypsum cannot be taken orally, while raw gypsum can be taken orally.
Due to individual differences in medical condition and constitution, please take under the guidance of a physician.
