Chinese medicine, seven groups of different "phase beard", Li Shizhen said, "the same kind can not be separated".

Of course, the later generations of medical doctors in the "must be" on the pairing, there are more complementary and development, mainly focusing on the "same kind" principle. The following seven types of "phasic beard" are examples of very distinctive and different from the previous "phasic beard for use":

JINYINHUA is a very familiar Chinese herb, from the point of view of botanical families, it belongs to the "perennials of the family Lonicera japonica". "From the botanical family, it belongs to the dried flower buds of the perennial, semi-evergreen woody vine Lonicera japonica of the family Lonicera japonica, which is sweet and cold in nature and enters the lung, heart and stomach meridians. It is the most commonly used to clear away heat and detoxification, canker sores and swellings, ancient physicians said it is "canker sores to medicine".

Lonicera japonica, in fact, is the honeysuckle vine, it is whether the flavor or attribution, and honeysuckle and very similar. In addition, it is also good at facilitating the meridians, often used for rheumatism and heat paralysis caused by red, swollen, hot and painful, flexion and extension of the unfavorable.

Therefore, the two are paired to strengthen the heat detoxification, wind-heat paralysis, commonly used to relieve pain

Motherwort is commonly used to regulate menstruation and blood circulation of the drug, the "Materia Medica Compendium" that it is hard and slightly cold, into the liver, heart, bladder meridian, blood circulation, blood stasis, water, swelling, heat and toxin effects. It is a sacred medicine for gynecology and obstetrics. The name "Yimu" comes from this.

The fruit of the motherwort, the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is pungent, sweet and cool in nature, can enter the liver meridian. It is also used to invigorate blood circulation and regulate menstruation, clear the liver and improve eyesight.

The two are used in conjunction with each other, which can increase the power of motherwort to regulate menstruation, but also play a role in drying the liver and brightening the eyes.

These two things are from the same vine. The pollen is the rhizome of Juniperus communis, and the melon shell is the rind of the fruit of Juniperus communis.

Trichoderma viride is sweet, bitter, and slightly cold, and can enter the lung and stomach meridians, mainly for clearing away heat and generating fluids, and eliminating swelling and pus. It is often used for thirst, sores and boils where there is heat in the lungs and stomach.

Melon shells and smallpox pollen similar flavor, can enter the lungs, stomach and large intestine three meridians. Li Shizhen believes that it can clear heat and resolve phlegm, broaden the chest and disperse the knot. It is often used in lung heat cough, qi and broad chest.

However, when the two are used together, the function of clearing the lungs and stomach has been strengthened, especially lung heat, lung carbuncle and other problems, often need to be used.

Betel nut is the mature seeds of the evergreen tree betel nut of the palm family (not the kind of chewing betel nut on the market, oh), the flavor is hard and slightly warm, can enter the large intestine and stomach meridian. It is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine that can eliminate food, expel worms and eliminate chancre, and promote qi and water.

The skin of betel nut is the outer skin of betel nut, which is a kind of qi medicine. It is pungent and warm in nature, and can enter the spleen, stomach, large intestine and small intestine meridians, and has the effect of promoting qi and stagnation, inducing diuresis and eliminating swelling. Because it is pungent, dispersive, warm and downward, it is good at moving qi and relieving stagnation, as well as inducing diuresis to reduce swelling. It is often used in gastrointestinal stagnation, water and dampness caused by the internal stoppage of the epigastric distension, edema feet, as well as dampness caused by the heaviness of the anxious and heavy.

When these two are paired, they can help each other, strengthening the function of regulating qi and eliminating flatulence, diuretic and laxative.

Simply put, Hovenia is the "young" orange, ancient medical practitioners often pick up the flesh is just beginning to mold that fall to the ground of the small fruit. Taste hard and slightly cold, can enter the spleen, stomach and large intestine three meridians, have to break the gas to eliminate accumulation, guide stagnation, eliminating phlegm in addition to the use of plaque.

And Hovenia citrus shell is a little larger, but not yet ripe when the fallen fruit peel. It is bitter, acidic and slightly cold, and can also enter the lung, spleen and large intestine meridians. There are qi broad chest, the effect of qi stagnation. Compared with Hovenia ciliata, Hovenia ciliata shells are soft and gentle, long for regulating qi and broadening the chest, eliminating flatulence and removing lumps, used for chest and abdominal stagnation of qi, lumps and swelling pain.

Ancient medical practitioners often have Hovenia ciliata and Hovenia ciliata shells with the use of the two must, can broaden the chest and diaphragm, Xuan lung down the gas, and can be "chest and abdomen and treatment, gas elimination of plaque".

The relationship between these two kinds of and Hovenia and Citrus aurantium is almost the same. The green peel is the peel of the orange is not completely ripe, while the peel is fully ripe after the peel. In general, the green peel to the new sun that is used, while the peel is aged to put good.

Both are hard and slightly warm in nature, the difference is that the green peel can enter the liver, gallbladder and stomach meridians, with the use of the liver and lowering the gas, eliminating the stagnation of the liver and gallbladder, and long for the liver and gallbladder, breaking the knot gas.

Pericarp, however, into the spleen, lungs, two meridians, there is a line of gas to strengthen the spleen, descending reverse vomiting, drying dampness and phlegm effect, "Materia Medica Hui Yan" said: "Want to regulate the gas to strengthen the spleen, the orange peel's work in the first place".

Therefore, the two are used together, the evidence of liver depression across the spleen has a complementary effect.

Raw dihuang and cooked dihuang, in fact, is the same thing. The difference is that the raw dihuang is dug up and washed and dried, while the cooked dihuang needs to be roasted, fried and concocted for use.

Therefore, the taste of raw dihuang is sweet, bitter and cold, and the taste of cooked dihuang is sweet and warm. It is also used in the heart, liver, lungs and blood meridians, while it is used in the liver and kidney meridians. It is also used to promote blood circulation and cool the blood, while it is used to nourish the blood and benefit the essence.

The two are paired together to play a complementary role, not only to cool the blood and nourish the blood, but also to replenish the blood and blood.

In short, the reason why the above seven is a special "phase beard", is because they have a **** the same point: although it is "two flavors", but "this is the same root of life! ". Although the same product, but like siblings generally have their own personality, as the so-called different paths to the same place is also.
