Repeated Dampness And Heat? That’s Because You Haven’t Found The Right Method. Yinchenhao Decoction Will Teach You Deep Conditioning.
Many people encounter this situation in their daily life. Their faces become yellow and oily, their mouths feel bitter and sticky, and after going to the toilet, their stools stick to the toilet and are difficult to flush. Their first reaction is to remove the heat and dampness from their bodies, so they take the commonly used Chinese patent medicines that clear away heat and dry dampness. However, after taking After a period of time, the sticky and heavy condition on the body has not been relieved, but the damp and hot condition has repeatedly worsened, and even the mental state of the whole person has deteriorated a lot. In fact, in many cases, it is not that the medicinal materials have no effect, but that the idea of using the medicinal materials is not symptomatic, and we do not really target the damp and heat accumulated in the body.
Analysis of applicable limitations of common prescriptions for removing dampness
Ermiao Pill is commonly used by many people. It contains only two herbs, Atractylodes and Cortex Phellodendron. The combination logic is particularly simple and straightforward. One of them is good at clearing away heat, and the other is good at drying dampness. It is only effective for mild damp-heat syndrome that has just emerged and stays in the superficial parts of the body's meridians.
However, the hot and humid condition encountered by many people today is not just a surface condition that has just emerged, but a stubborn condition that has slowly emerged over time and has been entrenched deep in the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach through long-term preference for thick food and irregular work and rest, as if stuck in the gaps in the organs and meridians. The ice pimples that have been stagnant for a long time can only be resolved with a small amount of the power of these two medicines. There is no way to penetrate into the deep layers to completely pull out the sticky damp heat. It may even force the use of bitter cold medicine to stimulate the metabolism of the muscle surface, thereby disrupting the already blocked Qi movement.
The core reason why deep-seated dampness and heat are difficult to eliminate
Many people treat damp and heat repeatedly. Another situation that is often overlooked is that the qi mechanism in the body has long been completely blocked, and the damp and heat trapped in the gaps between the organs cannot find a channel to be discharged.
To give an analogy that is very close to life, the sewer in the house is blocked, and the floor drain pours water upwards, overflowing the entire ground. Instead of clearing the pipe, you just stand by with a small spoon and scoop out the accumulated water on the ground little by little. No matter how long you scoop, the water will flow out. The sewage accumulated in the channels will still continue to flow back up, and the water will only accumulate more and more. In this situation, no matter how many herbs you take that have the effect of drying dampness and clearing heat, if the channels for the dampness and heat to be discharged are not cleared, the dampness and heat blocked in the body will still be unable to leave the body smoothly.
The preparation logic of Yinchenhao Decoction
In view of the stubborn hot and humid situation where the Qi mechanism is completely blocked due to deep siltation, the core idea of the Yinchenhao Decoction recorded by Zhang Zhongjing in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is to first unblock the blocked pathways as a whole.
In the prescription, the king medicine is Yincheng, which has the characteristics of bitter cold and clearing. It will not go to the superficial layers of the body, but will directly penetrate into the deep gaps in the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, specifically to extract and gather the dampness and heat hidden deep in the texture of the internal organs for a long time.
From then on, Gardenia continues to follow up, which can clear the remaining fire in the body, making it clear, opening up the Qi transmission channels of the three burners of the body, prompting the originally stagnant Qi machine to start running again, and paving a smooth path for the moist heat to be discharged later.
Finally, there is rhubarb, a herbal medicine known as the "general" in Chinese medicine. It plays the role of releasing heat and laxatives, directly opening a smooth drainage path for dampness and heat. The concentrated dampness and heat can be discharged separately along the dual channels of urine and feces. This is the front and rear elimination method often mentioned in TCM conditioning. Moreover, when clearing away heat, it will not additionally consume the healthy energy in the human body, and during the process of removing dampness, it will not leave residual dampness in the meridians.
People whose bodies are often troubled by repeated dampness and heat should be careful not to buy dampness-removing proprietary Chinese medicines when they encounter sticky and yellowish conditions. You must first distinguish whether your own dampness and heat are staying in shallow places or accumulated in deep layers, find a regulatory path that can truly unblock the Qi, clean up and rectify the stagnant and clogged environment where dampness and heat thrive, and then you can gradually get rid of the long-term state of weight and fatigue, as well as the daily uncomfortable experience of bitter mouth and sticky mouth. You have to follow the gentle, soothing and slowly dredging direction to successfully complete the conditioning and improvement.
In addition, special attention should be paid to the fact that when using traditional prescriptions, a professional Chinese medicine practitioner is required to provide guidance on syndrome differentiation. Do not grab the medicine by yourself and then take it to prevent unnecessary burden on the body due to incorrect diagnosis.
