In life, many people will drink Radix Rehmanniae as water as an essential medicine for nourishing yin. Do you know which zang-fu organs Radix Rehmanniae can nourish? Do you know any other functions besides nourishing yin? Today, we will learn about the specific efficacy and clinical application of Radix Rehmanniae.

Rehmannia glutinosa uses underground roots, which are yellow when they are first dug out and turn black after drying. According to ancient literature, the name of Rehmannia glutinosa is considered to be heavy and firm, and the quality is the best when it is washed with water and submerged. We use it? Heaven, earth and people? Distinguish three different levels of drug quality.

The name of Rehmannia glutinosa has changed in ancient and modern times. In ancient times, raw rehmannia refers to fresh rehmannia that has just been excavated, called? Fresh rehmannia? Or? Shengdi? . The other is dry, which we call. Dried rehmannia? . Later, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially in the Song Dynasty, there was Radix Rehmanniae, and we only distinguished between Radix Rehmanniae and Radix Rehmanniae.

Rehmannia glutinosa is a very commonly used medicine for clearing heat and cooling blood. The basic function of Radix Rehmanniae is to clear heat and cool blood. His first indication was fever caused by heat entering the blood.

The second one is used for various hemorrhagic diseases caused by blood heat. In these two aspects, Radix Rehmanniae is a very important characteristic medicine and also a commonly used medicine. For warm diseases, the first kind of rehmannia can cool blood, and the second kind can nourish yin and produce fluid. Because in Yingpan section, the rapid pulse accompanied by thirst symptoms is a typical manifestation of yin injury. Rehmannia glutinosa plays two major roles in cooling blood and nourishing yin here, plus some gunpowder for clearing away heat and detoxifying or purging fire, such as? Qingying soup? That's how it is used.

When the blood is staged, there are obvious bleeding symptoms such as macula. At this stage, Radix Rehmanniae not only plays the role of cooling blood and nourishing yin, but also plays the role of hemostasis. Therefore, Rehmannia glutinosa has three related functions in the stage of febrile disease and blood, the first is to clear away heat and cool blood, the second is to nourish yin and promote fluid production, and the third is to stop bleeding.

At the same time, when bleeding symptoms appear, they are often accompanied by congestion symptoms, so when applying hemostatic drugs, some drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis are often combined with some drugs for clearing away heat and toxic materials, such as common prescriptions? Rhinoceros horn and yellow soup? , what are we called now? Jiedu Dihuang Decoction? Because rhinoceros horns are not allowed now, they can only be replaced by water horns. This recipe uses buffalo horn to clear away heat and toxic materials, and adds Cortex Moutan or Radix Paeoniae Rubra to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Therefore, it can be seen from the above that the clinical significance of Rehmannia glutinosa has undergone some subtle changes in different stages.

Because there are no obvious bleeding symptoms in the bleeding stage, the purpose of hemostasis is not important, and stopping bleeding in stages has become a more targeted therapeutic effect.
