Deafness and tinnitus may be caused by yin deficiency of liver and kidney, and one prescription can regulate them.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a particularly famous decoction called Bawei Shenqi Pill, which originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was created by Zhang Zhongjing, a great doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has been widely circulated for thousands of years.

In the Song Dynasty, Qian Yi, a great doctor in the Song Dynasty, removed cassia twig and aconite root, and combined the remaining six herbs to form another famous decoction-Liuwei Dihuang Pill.

Time flies, in the late Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, Ling Huan, a great doctor, added Bupleurum and magnets to Liuwei Dihuang Pill, which became a famous prescription for treating ears. The name was straightforward, and it was Erlong Zuo Ci Pill.

So needless to say, everyone knows that Erlong Zuo Ci Pill is mainly used to treat tinnitus due to kidney deficiency.

The relationship between the ear and the kidney was clearly explained in one sentence in Huangdi Neijing, and the kidney began to understand the ear. In other words, the ear is the window that the kidney opens on the head and face, so you can know whether the kidney is good or not by looking at the ear. He also said that the brain is the marrow sea, and the kidney controls the bone to produce marrow. The brain is like a battery. If you want to keep running normally, you need to keep charging. Kidney-qi is internal energy. The kidney continuously sends essence to the brain, and the brain distributes essence to the mouth, eyes, ears, nose and seven orifices. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, ears and kidneys are inseparable. Sufficient essence in the kidney can make you hear clearly and see clearly.

Erlong Zuo Ci Pill: Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Cornus officinalis, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Poria, Cortex Moutan, Alismatis Rhizoma, Magnetite and Bupleuri Radix. This prescription is now also made into Chinese patent medicine, which can be bought in pharmacies, so the dosage will not be written here.

Rehmannia glutinosa is the dried root of Rehmannia glutinosa, and it also has a brother named Rehmannia glutinosa. Rehmannia glutinosa is called Rehmannia glutinosa after processing and blackening. Rehmannia glutinosa removes the coolness of Rehmannia glutinosa, and its medicinal properties are warmer.

Rehmannia glutinosa, a medicine, lies in its roots. If a plant is well preserved and hidden, you should look at its roots. If its roots are strong and fat, it means that its essence is sufficient and its sealing is good. For example, spinach, when many people eat spinach, is always habitually removed. It's really a pity. Look at the roots of spinach. They are red, thick and powerful, hiding the energy of plants. Rehmannia glutinosa, too, has a particularly good effect of tonifying kidney and filling marrow, which can not only tonify kidney and store sperm, but also solidify sperm without leakage. If the kidney is compared to a door, the storage function of Rehmannia glutinosa is equivalent to adding a lock to the door.

The biggest function of yam is to strengthen the spleen, but don't think that yam tonifies the spleen, just consider it as a spleen tonic. In fact, the spleen, lungs and kidneys make up together, which means that eating yam once can make up three viscera at the same time. The ancients spoke highly of yam, saying that it was "the food of the gods, and it was suitable for a long time." Yam itself has a lot of sticky juice, so it pays more attention to nourishing yin.

Look at dogwood again. Many people always confuse Cornus officinalis with Evodia rutaecarpa. There is only one word difference between them, but their functions are completely different. Evodia rutaecarpa has a pungent taste. It is with this pungent power that all yin and cold pathogens dare not approach, so the ancients often used it to exorcise evil spirits. It is precisely because of this that the custom of wearing dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival came into being, and Wang Wei's famous work "I miss my brothers in Shandong on vacation in the mountains" was born. Cornus officinalis is different. Not as overbearing and clever as Evodia rutaecarpa, so Cornus officinalis has a greater tonic effect. Where can I make it up? Mainly for liver and kidney.

All three medicines here are tonic, but it is not enough, and drainage is needed. This leak, of course, does not mean what has been added. What's missing? It is the water in the body that is leaking. No matter whether the water is wet or turbid, are there any bad and unnecessary things in your body? Only by leaking out these bad things can good things be made up. This is also the reason why many people get angry as soon as they take tonic. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this deficiency but not tonic. In fact, the body is too turbid, and the turbid gas and water push the medicinal properties to the top. Therefore, poria cocos and Alisma orientalis are used to eliminate dampness, and peony bark is used to clear fire. The idea of the whole prescription is to make up for it while clearing the way for the body. From Jinkui Shenqi Pill to Liuwei Dihuang Pill, and then to Erlong Zuo Ci Pill, all previous dynasties doctors followed this treatment idea.

The last two drugs, Bupleurum and magnet, Bupleurum goes up, leads the medicine into the ear, magnet goes down, and qi returns to the kidney.

Focus on the magnet. Magnets are mineral medicine, which feels heavy in your hand. Because of their heavy weight, their medicinal properties will inevitably decline. According to ancient medical books, magnets can cure kidney disease, but they can improve eyesight.

Generally speaking, Erlong Zuo Ci Pill has a good therapeutic effect on deafness and tinnitus caused by yin deficiency of liver and kidney. What are the characteristics of such tinnitus? It keeps ringing like a cicada. If you still can't judge, there is another reference method, which is deafness and tinnitus. If fatigue worsens, liver and kidney should be supplemented. There is nothing wrong with the general direction.
