In traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, there seem to be many prescriptions that are "exclusive to women" as soon as they look at their names, such as the common Xiaoyao pills, black chicken Baifeng pills, etc., and in the cognition of the vast majority of people, they feel that these drugs are only suitable for women, but in fact this is not the case, because in daily life, men will also have the same symptoms as women, such as emotional depression and liver blood deficiency, and in this regard, it is natural to need to relieve the liver qi in the body and nourish their own liver and blood. Is there a prescription for women? In fact, there is, today I will share with you a classic prescription tailored for women - Wenjing Soup.
Wenjing decoction is a very famous prescription, from the hand of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, included in the book "Jin Kui Yaolu", which belongs to the blood regulating agent that dissipates cold and dispels blood stasis, and is a common prescription for gynecological menstruation. In the name of this formula, the word "warm" is actually the most critical, which can also be seen that Wenjing soup is a menstrual prescription that dispels cold, nourishes blood and dispels blood stasis, which can effectively regulate women's deficiency, stasis and cold symptoms, and at the same time, this formula can also warm the viscera and limbs, which can not only play the role of removing blood stasis and relieving pain, but also regulate menstrual irregularities, cold pain in the lower abdomen and other diseases, which is a very practical prescription.
The compatibility of the whole prescription is more complicated, it is a rare big prescription of Zhang Zhongjing, containing a total of 12 Chinese herbal medicines, namely three taels of Evodia, Angelica, peony, Chuanxiong, ginseng, cinnamon branch, Ejiao, peony bark, ginger, licorice, half a liter of summer, one liter of wheat winter, which plays the effect of warming the meridian and dissipating cold, nourishing blood and removing stasis, and is often used for the improvement or treatment of Chongren deficiency and blood stasis blockade.
Many friends may have heard of or taken this prescription, but some patients may find that the Wenjing soup they take is slightly different from the Wenjing soup taken by others, in fact, you don't need to be surprised or worried about this, because in traditional Chinese medicine, there are many prescriptions called "Wenjing Tang", for example, in the "Women's Great Prescription", there is also a Wenjing soup party, although it is from different periods, but if you want to trace back to the source, most of them are derived from the addition and subtraction of drugs on the basis of Zhang Zhongjing's original prescription.
In Zhang Zhongjing's original recipe, the cinnamon branch is warm and warm, which can not only dissipate the cold in the warmth, but also reduce the reverse level and promote the movement of yang energy; Although Evodia is hot and dry, the taste is astringent and bitter, but it has a strong warming effect, which can dissipate cold and relieve pain, reduce adversity and stop vomiting; As the "blood qi medicine" in traditional Chinese medicine, Chuanxiong will not hurt its own righteousness in the process of Xinwen menstruation.
People who know Zhang Zhongjing should know that he attaches great importance to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach, and almost all of the medicinal materials for nourishing the stomach and protecting the stomach are added to many prescriptions, and Wenjing soup is no exception, among them, ginger as a "vomiting medicine", which can not only restrict the toxicity of Evodia, but also compatible with Banxia, which is the key to regulating the spleen and stomach.
At the beginning of the establishment of Wenjing soup, the treatment of the disease is the perimenopausal woman, most of these patients are caused by blood stasis and internal obstruction, Zhang Zhongjing chooses angelica, Chuanxiong, peony skin and other blood-invigorating and blood-nourishing products, which can be classified into the liver meridian and blood points, while nourishing blood and removing blood stasis, it will not hurt their own righteousness, as far as female gynecological diseases are concerned, most of them are related to blood diseases, and the source of qi deficiency in the body is mostly the spleen and stomach. In this way, the metaplasia of qi and blood is enhanced.
However, how can we use such a practical prescription correctly in our lives? First of all, for the common menstrual irregularities and dysmenorrhea in women, this prescription can often play a good role; The second is dry lips, especially in spring, the symptoms of dry lips are often particularly obvious, the most typical is "lip wind", then in the treatment, you can use this prescription, starting from the spleen and stomach, nourishing blood and dispelling wind.
