Analysis of Soup Formula
Pinellia ternata in the soup is a medicinal herb that is warm and pungent, can dry dampness and reduce phlegm, and can relieve nausea and vomiting in the stomach. I use bamboo stalks, which are sweet but slightly cold, to clear heat and phlegm, relieve annoyance and nausea. Banxia and Zhuru blend together, one warm and one cool, with the ability to reduce phlegm and harmonize the stomach, as well as relieve nausea and annoyance. Chenpi is warm and hardworking, with stagnation in regulating qi and resolving dampness and phlegm. Citrus aurantium works hard with slight coldness, reduces qi stagnation, and eliminates phlegm and phlegm. Chenpi and Fructus Aurantii complement each other, with one warm and one cool, and their ability to regulate qi and phlegm increases. Accompanied by Poria cocos, it can invigorate the spleen and promote dampness, and is the source of phlegm production. Boil and add ginger and jujube to harmonize the spleen and stomach, and ginger also has toxic effects on Pinellia ternata. Using licorice as a tool to blend various medicines.
[Explanation of Fang Yi]
Tang Fang syndrome is caused by multiple factors such as insufficient body gallbladder qi, which is further compounded by emotional instability, loss of gallbladder function, stagnation of qi leading to phlegm production, internal disturbance of phlegm turbidity, and disharmony between gallbladder and stomach. Gallbladder is a place of purity, with a peaceful and tranquil nature that dislikes disturbance. If the gallbladder is disturbed by evil and loses its tranquility, it will be timid and easily startled, restless and restless, with frequent dreams at night and palpitations; If there is disharmony between the gallbladder and stomach, and the stomach loses balance, vomiting, phlegm, saliva, hiccups, and palpitations may occur.
