(2) Materia Medica: "Louquanshan" has a cloud: the throat is blocked, and the aversion to cold is due to the cold entering the heat, and the cold is closed outside, and the heat is depressed inside. Don't touch your throat with drugs such as bile alum and sour cold, which will make the yang depressed and unable to stretch, which will lead to drama. If so, this taste is suitable for throat obstruction and throat wind, which is a kind of arthralgia that treats yin without storing yang, and belongs to throat arthralgia that does not hate cold. What is not suitable for it is the arthralgia syndrome of treating yang without reaching yin, which is due to wind deficiency. This is the throat arthralgia syndrome of aversion to cold, and it is also the so-called "avoiding everything". Covered with this flavor, it can disperse wind, wood and fire, so it is caused by fire to treat wind, phlegm, throat obstruction and rat leakage. For example, the throat obstruction caused by aversion to cold is due to heat depression, not fire. It is advisable to eliminate yin and extend yang, but not to gather yang and help yin.
