Why do some Chinese medicine masters not advocate the purification of Chinese medicine?

The second talk about how Chinese medicine use prescription to cure diseases. As a Chinese medicine practitioner are y aware of, through the four diagnosis, the overall concept, accurate identification, before legislation to select the formula. Formulas in many Chinese medicines, some single drugs can be effective for the main disease, some effective for the disease of both, some as a complementary medicine, play a supporting role in the main, or to reduce the toxicity of the main drug of the Chinese medicine, divided into the ruler, minister, and the auxiliary, each play their own role, can be said to be a group combat, so there is no so-called resistance to Western medicine. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most powerful and effective drugs in the world, and you'll be able to do it in a way that's easy for you to understand. So the power will be weak, there is a possibility of drug resistance, and it is not easy to adapt.

2, prescription of Chinese medicine is through the decoction of physical and chemical reactions, in addition to the physical respective efficacy of the main treatment, the chemical formation of another substance, the disease will have a therapeutic effect. This is what the purification of Chinese medicine can not do, in other words, after the purification of Chinese medicine is not possible to produce new chemical substances, the treatment of disease, will greatly reduce the role. This is also the purification of the drug treatment of a single sex, the role of the weakened, non-malleable, and even drug resistance.

3, modern medical research Zhang Zhongjing "typhoid fever" formula, it was found that some of the formula of a single drug on the disease is effective, some of the drugs in the formula of the disease is not effective, but the use of one of the drugs to treat the disease, the role of a weaker than the whole formula. When the whole formula was decocted together, other drugs that did not work on the main disease could enhance the efficacy of the whole formula by decocting them, and by decocting them, these Chinese medicines, which originally had little effect, also played a role. At the same time, an experiment was conducted to remove the drugs that do not play a role in the main disease, the efficacy of the entire formula is reduced, and these drugs are the adjuvant drugs in the formula. In a classical formula, all the drugs in the formula are useful. We can only imagine how useful those purified Chinese medicines are to the disease.

4, purified Chinese medicine also has its advantages, that is, the treatment of a single disease is relatively accurate, whether orally or by infusion, relatively convenient, on the disease of the Chinese medicine to reduce the difficulty of identification, that is, the ordinary medical practitioners, but also know that this kind of purification of the Chinese medicine can cure what the disease, you can use. Unlike Chinese medicine, it requires precise identification and treatment to be effective.

The purified Chinese medicine should belong to the chemical medicine, can no longer use the theory of Chinese medicine to see, it is not easy to say, again modern scientific and technological means of research is not up to the extraction of the real active ingredients of Chinese medicine.

I don't need to repeat myself, and I don't have any deeper insights, but I can only say a few words from the other side.

May I ask: Is H2O still water when it is purified?

Is NHOHCO3 purified or is it hydrogen ammonia nitrate?

Rice purified is still like rice (with the effect of rice)?

Originally, for example, the prescription Ephedra Tang, Gui Zhi Tang, add or subtract a flavor as you wish, has already changed the function of the prescription, if another purification, there is still a little effect?

Conclusion: the purification of Chinese medicine, completely ridiculous!

Chinese medicine does not advocate the purification of Chinese medicine, because the composition of Chinese medicine is very complex, a Chinese medicine may have dozens or hundreds of ingredients, the purification may not be the active ingredients are raised, many seemingly not the main ingredient, in the traditional Chinese medicine prescription may play an important role.

The same kind of Chinese medicine in different formulas, play a different role, which is the effect of different components, purification may not be able to put these active ingredients.

Chinese medicine is concerned about the ruler, the minister and the enabler, even if a Chinese medicine, there is a main ingredient, there are other ingredients, in the role of some may be the main ingredient, and some may be the secondary ingredients, purification is not possible to have such an effect, so Chinese medicine does not advocate the purification of the reason is reasonable.

The effects of Chinese medicine are all in the original materia medica, and when purified, it must go through the process of beating, grinding, boiling, and refining.

Any process of temperature increase can make the active ingredients of Chinese medicine lost. Because of the high temperature in the herb within the effective ingredients with the temperature rise and volatilization or transformation.

Such as Huo Xiang, mint, incense, etc., do not tolerate high temperatures, high temperatures will make their active ingredients volatile.

The modern promotion of the tree grain type of Chinese medicine is convenient to take, but it is also undesirable.

In the refining process, if the loss of valuable active ingredients, even if again convenient, and scientific, but also due to the potency of the great decline in the effectiveness of the fight against Chinese medicine.

Therefore, experts who are well versed in the nature of Chinese medicine do not advocate the purification of Chinese medicines.

Chinese medicine is an empirical science, the ancients used the universe between heaven and earth and the sun and the moon to run the way the human physiology of pathology to yin and yang to summarize the five elements, a variety of natural herbs to lift and sink, warm and cold to categorize the various forms of the pulse, a variety of symptoms are also categorized in the same way, which in fact, is the open secret of Chinese medicine. The purification of Chinese medicines is the study and application of Western medicine, that is, empirical medicine, which is a different research method from our traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore many true masters of Chinese medicine would not approve of the purification of Chinese medicine. When purifying Chinese medicine has left the basic principles of Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine to see the disease prescription, pay attention to the king, the minister, help, the official, the chemical composition contained in the Chinese herbal medicine is more complex, it will play a toxic and non-toxic to play a neutralizing effect, but also produce other substances, in the practice of experience, and under the matching, to play a cure for the purpose of the disease, if the Chinese herbal medicine will be purified to the application of the cost of the rotten resources not to mention that the Chinese medicine has lost its significance,
