What is the meaning of Chinese medicine concoction?

Chinese medicine concoction In the preparation of proprietary Chinese medicines, it is necessary to use a variety of different Chinese medicine concoctions (tablets). For example, in the "shrinking spring pill" in the Zhi Ren, after the salt roast, can be the main into the kidney meridian, warm kidney qi, solid astringent urinary effect; "Qingning pill" in the rhubarb, to use the yellow wine for many times after steaming, before making pills, or the drug is harsh, easy to produce side effects of abdominal pain after serving; also For example, Shenqu in "Pediatric Spleen Enhancement Pills" must be fermented and stir-fried before it can better bring into play the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach. From this, it can be seen that the preparation of pCms cannot be separated from the preparation of Chinese medicines, and the two are inseparably related, as briefly described below. Ensure the actual dosage In order to make the proportion of each drug in the composition of proprietary Chinese medicines accurate, the main use of the net system of concoctions, which is also the first process of Chinese medicine concoctions. Such as Cornus officinalis to the core, schizandra to the branch stalk, the heart of the Ba Ji Tian, Guan Huang Bai to the rough skin (embolism), are to remove the non-medicinal part of the drug, if not removed, is bound to make the actual proportion of the drug in the formula is greatly reduced, can not be very good to play a therapeutic effect. Such as "two wonderful pill" has the function of clearing heat and drying dampness, is used for the treatment of damp-heat injection, foot and knee redness, swelling and hot pain, lower limbs, leucorrhoea, scrotal wet itching of the proprietary Chinese medicine. In the formula, Huangbai is bitter and cold, clearing heat and drying dampness, and is the monarch drug. In the preparation of this proprietary Chinese medicine, if Huangbai is Guanhuangbai, without removing the coarse skin, it is equal to reducing the actual dosage of Huangbai. In this way, it will form the power of drying dampness is very strong, and the power of clearing heat is not enough, not only can't get the expected effect, but also may cause the dampness and heat are not gone, the heat of the evil counter-increase, there is the risk of drying and injuring the yin. Improve clinical efficacy To improve the efficacy of proprietary Chinese medicines, it is necessary to concoct the medicines, adjust their medicinal properties, to play its good. For example, "Ten Ash Pills" is composed of ten medicines, all of which are cold and cool in nature, mainly for cooling and resolving blood heat. The formula to artichoke, artichoke, lotus leaf, lateral cypress leaf, white foxglove root, cress root cool blood to stop bleeding; Gardenia clearing heat to cool blood; rhubarb to lead heat downward; danpi with rhubarb to cool blood to remove blood stasis, so that the blood heat and no stasis of the evils of the; Palm bark astringent to stop bleeding, *** play the cool blood to stop the blood of the work. In order to improve the hemostatic effect of the proprietary Chinese medicine, according to the theory of hemostatic charcoal medicine, in the preparation, the need for the above ten drugs fried charcoal storage, to enhance the astringent hemostatic effect, so the name of the medicine, "ten gray pill". Another example is "shouwu yanshou tablets" with blood nourishment and liver and kidney functions, is used for blood weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, lumbar and knee pain and weakness of the proprietary Chinese medicines, pure he shouwu preparation, but he shouwu has a difference between the raw and cooked, raw he shouwu bitter leakage, sexual flatness and dispersal, with detoxification, elimination of carbuncle, laxative effect; by steaming of the cooked products, change the nature of the raw products, taste to sweet and thick and the nature of the warmer. The taste turns sweet and thick and the sex turns warm, enhances the liver and kidney, benefits the essence and blood, black hair, strong muscles and bones function, used for blood deficiency and atrophy, dizziness and tinnitus, premature whitening of hair, lumbar and knee weakness, numbness of limbs and other diseases, so "Shouwu Yanshou Tablets" in the He Shouwu, must be used in the cooked product, in order to comply with the requirements of clinical application. Enhance the role of meridian As a result of the composition of proprietary Chinese medicines are often more than one viscera, meridians and collaterals have an effect, in order to make the drug concentration in the lesion site to play a role in the commonly used method of adding auxiliary materials for the concoction to enhance the role of the lesion site, weakening of the role of the irrelevant parts of the body, highlighting proprietary Chinese medicines on the main viscera and the main therapeutic effect. For example, "Qing'e Pill" in the formula of Cortex Eucommiae, the main into the liver meridian, and into the kidney meridian; Bone-setting fat into the kidney meridian, and into the spleen meridian; Cortex Eucommiae, after salt-roasted, can be straight to the lower Jiao, the main into the kidney meridian, for the formula of the king's medicine, with the warming and tonifying the kidney yang, the effect of strengthening the muscles and bones; bone-setting fat after salt-roasted, the lead to enter the kidneys, the kidney yang, the solid lower yuan effect, for the ministerial medicine. Therefore, the main function of Qing'e Pill is to tonify the kidney and strengthen the waist, which is often used in kidney deficiency and lumbago, unfavorable sitting and weak knees. Adjustment of the efficacy of the main treatment As Chinese medicine is usually a multi-effect, in different proprietary Chinese medicines, the same drug required for the role is not the same, which requires Chinese medicine concoctions to adjust its efficacy. For example, rhubarb: in the "Ma Ren Pills" in the role of laxative and diarrhea, with Hovenia, thick Park, that is, small Cheng Qi Tang, in order to light down the hot knot, in addition to the stomach and intestines dry heat is the main, so the raw product; in the "Ruyi Jinhuang San", the main role of clearing the fire and detoxification, blood circulation, swelling, the need for raw products, taking its fire and detoxification, and the need to use the raw product, to take the fire and detoxification, and the need to use the raw product. Raw products, to take its fire detoxification effect is strong; in the "Angelica Longhui Pills" should be wine fried, through the wine of the nature of the ascension, clearing the Sanjiao fire; in the "rhubarb (concordant + worm) worm pill", rhubarb should be steamed with wine products, wine can moderate the bitter cold after steaming, so that the diarrhea of the force greatly reduced, and enhance the activation of blood circulation and swelling. In the "Hwa Sheng Hui Sheng Dan", vinegar products are preferred to moderate the laxative effect and enhance the effect of eliminating obstruction and stasis, which is used in the case of obstruction and stasis; the rhubarb in the "Sihong Pill" plays a role in stopping bleeding, so it is used in charcoal products. Another example is Astragalus, there are raw and honey-roasted, in Yupingfeng Oral Liquid, Astragalus mainly plays the role of consolidating the surface and astringent sweating, so it is used in raw form; in "tonifying the middle and benefiting the Qi Pill", Astragalus should be roasted with honey, to take the benefit of its qi and yang function. Reduce the toxicity of drugs Some proprietary Chinese medicines contain toxic Chinese medicine, in order to take safety, must be prepared to reduce its toxicity. For example, for the accumulation of constipation, "three things to prepare for the emergency pill" and the treatment of pediatric breast-feeding stagnation of "Po Chi San", the formula are used in the croton cream, without croton, because the croton toxicity is intense, can only be used externally, should not be taken internally, the concoction of the oil to make the cream, the laxative effect of the greatly moderated to reduce the skin and mucous membrane tissues, to reduce the toxicity of the skin and mucous membrane tissue. The irritation and toxicity of the skin and mucous membrane tissues can only be used for internal use. Another example is "Strychnine" which has the function of dispelling wind-dampness and opening the meridians and collaterals, "Nine Dispersions" which can relieve pain and eliminate blood stasis, and "Ma Qian San" which is used for treating bruises, stasis and blood stagnation, redness, swelling and heat pain, all strychnine in the formula must be scalded with sand and then dried. Strychnine must be scalded to reduce its toxicity. In summary, it shows that Chinese medicine concoctions have a close relationship with the preparation of proprietary Chinese medicines, which also reflects the characteristics of proprietary Chinese medicines.
