As the reputation of Chinese medicine spreads far and wide, people around the world have gradually become interested in its profound heritage and unique curative effects.
Prescriptions, as the essence of Chinese medicine, have always been valued by doctors for their rigorous proportions and outstanding curative effects.
"Treatise on Typhoid Fever", a classic of Chinese medicine, contains many good prescriptions, pointing out the maze for future generations of doctors.
The three Chengqi soups are among the best, including the big Chengqi soup, the small Chengqi soup and the stomach-regulating Chengqi soup, which are specially designed for Yangming disease, each with its own merits and outstanding curative effects.
Da Cheng Qi Soup, a fierce agent, specializes in the evidence of heat and evil internal knots and intestinal qi blockage.
Xiao Chengqi decoction is slightly slower in medicinal power, and is suitable for the situation that although the qi is knotted but not yet solid.
Stomach Regulating Chengqi Soup, as the name suggests, focuses on reconciling stomach qi, and is suitable for evidence of hot stomach and blocked qi.
The constituent drugs of Sanchengqi decoction have been tempered thousands of times, and their medicinal properties are different and complement each other.
Its clinical application requires doctors to be thoughtful and flexible.
However, if these three methods can be used properly, unexpected results can often be obtained.
I hope that this short article can help you to understand the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine more deeply, and also hope to inspire more people to love and explore the knowledge of Chinese medicine.
