張仲景窮盡一身，打造《傷寒論》第一中藥方！ “桂枝湯”究竟有多神奇？

The way of the observer is for the messenger hello everyone I am your tour guide Xiao Guan it's a pleasure to meet you all again Zhang Zhongjing devoted nearly his entire life to perfecting this formula making it the premier prescription The remedy for colds the number one prescription through the ages has indeed benefited people for two thousand years and as a self-taught Chinese medicine enthusiast you have probably already guessed it this formula is the well-known Guizhi Decoction The prescription for Guizhi Decoction is as follows 15 grams of Cinnamon Twig 15 grams of White Peony Root 10 grams of Licorice 15 grams of Fresh Ginger and 12 split Jujubes What exactly does this prescription treat Xiao Guan summarized its ten benefits starting from the smallest aspects This formula is used to treat wind-cold common colds and it is the most effective fastest and most fundamental formula for treating colds When you suffer from a cold and experience a runny nose nasal congestion sneezing coughing headache feeling cold and sensitive to wind and body aches Usually during the first or second day of a wind-cold common cold you can boldly use it and one day of drinking will be enough Guizhi Decoction can completely eliminate your cold in its early stages How does Guizhi Tang treat a common cold A cold is an emergency and the treatment for emergencies is to promote blood circulation When the external pathogen of wind-cold suddenly attacks our body's surface and our vital energy is insufficient the body will exhibit symptoms of a cold At this time external pathogens heavily reside on our body's surface and to expel these external pathogens To prevent external pathogens from penetrating deeper into the body we must mobilize the body's qi and blood to combat the external pathogens on the surface External pathogens have taken up residence on the body's surface watching menacingly who will fight against the external pathogens who will be the vanguard Cinnamon twig is like a general who fights against external pathogens it quickly gathers the body's qi and blood to the surface to engage in a life-or-death battle against wind-cold pathogens Cinnamon twig can deliver qi and blood to the muscles and the body's surface and any part of the body that has sufficient qi and blood can be healed of any illness Chinese medicine refers to this unique ability of Cinnamon Twig as "resolving accumulation " and later we commonly referred to this effect of Cinnamon Twig as "resolving exterior pathogens and inducing sweating " Why is Cinnamon Twig able to release the exterior and induce sweating Just look where it grows to understand Cinnamon twig is the tender branch located at the top of the cinnamon tree because it grows at the top it has the most yang energy and is most capable of promoting growth When Guizhi draws a large amount of qi to fight enemies on the body's surface it will result in a state where the internal body feels relatively empty Moreover when Guizhi regulates qi and blood it is not so even and it is very likely to regulate too much So how do you resolve the state of physical emptiness and how do you bring the excess qi and blood back in At this point our virtuous wife's two mu of white peony comes into play The white peony replenishes your qi and blood while simultaneously drawing excess qi and blood inward Suppressing the excessive growth nature of Cinnamon Twig to achieve a balance Bai Shao is a medicinal herb with a rather bland aroma slightly bitter and slightly sour the bitterness can drain and descend while the sourness can collect and constrict If guizhi is the fist being thrown out then baishao is the fist pulling back in only by pulling back can the fist be thrown out again Gan Zhi fights on the body's surface while Bai Shao provides supply seeming perfect but it's still not enough why Because the real nourishment of qi and blood does not come from external sources like white peony root but from internal production What generates qi and blood is the spleen and stomach Only when the spleen and stomach are healthy can the body continuously generate qi and blood so it is necessary to strengthen the middle jiao where the middle jiao refers to the spleen and stomach Strengthening the middle jiao means protecting and nurturing the spleen and stomach What does strengthening the middle jiao rely on The spleen and stomach in the center of the body gradually appear including licorice fresh ginger and jube and there is also ginseng but it is not needed here Licorice and jube are both sweet and this sweet flavor can directly supplement qi and blood Ginger is warm in nature and can enhance the digestive capacity of the spleen and stomach allowing the effects of licorice and jube to be more effectively utilized Moreover it nourishes without being greasy making it highly effective for people with weak and cold spleen and stomach Thus Cinnamon Twig fights on the body's surface White Sugar replenishes the vital energy and Licorice Jujube and Ginger are in hand creating a perfect and flawless formula If you think that Guizhi Decoction is only for treating colds you're seriously underestimating it said Wang Xiao As long as you have cold-like symptoms even if they aren't caused by a cold it can be used as long as it's a surface condition Wang said that all diseases in this world can be treated by adding or subtracting ingredients from the Guizhi Decoction and it's not an exaggeration to call it a cure-all Next let's explore the other nine benefits of Guizhi Decoction 1 Guizhi Decoction can alleviate a variety of symptoms related to sensitivity to wind Some people get a headache when the wind blows others get a runny nose some catch a cold others cough some develop hives or feel uncomfortable anywhere the wind blows any symptoms that appear as soon as they are exposed to wind can be boldly treated with Guizhi Tang For those who fear wind Guizhi Decoction can be a lifesaver Guizhi Decoction can harmonize the body's imbalances and strengthen your digestive energy When digestive energy is strong you naturally won't fear wind This digestive energy is located on the surface of the body like a country's border defense force When the border defense is strong external pathogens won't dare to easily invade Strengthening digestive energy is like giving yourself a golden armor making you fearless against even the strongest winds 2 Guizhi Decoction can address a range of symptoms related to cold No matter which part of your body is sensitive to cold you can use Guizhi Decoction especially for cold sensitivity in the extremities such as people with stiff fingers and cold sensitivity Guizhi Decoction works very well Many people

with Guizhi Decoction Guizhi Decoction is your little stove your little sun 3 Guizhi Decoction can regulate excessive sweating Someone asked "Officer isn't Guizhi Decoction a medicine that induces sweating " Why can it also stop sweating Yes Guizhi Decoction can induce sweating as well as stop it When you catch a cold and don't sweat Guizhi Decoction can induce sweating When you sweat a lot and are afraid of the wind Guizhi Tang can stop the sweating Guizhi Tang is so miraculous it can regulate sweating in both directions Also Guizhi Decoction is highly effective for abnormal sweating What is abnormal sweating For example some people sweat one side of their body and not the other which is considered abnormal sweating and is due to an imbalance of yin and yang Guiszhi Decoction can balance yin and yang by putting it in the refrigerator some people either don't sweat have dry skin and dry hands and feet while others sweat a lot making their hands slippery and their socks constantly damp which is also considered abnormal sweating and can also be treated with Guiszhi Decoction In short if you feel unbalanced sweating you can try Guizhi Decoction Postpartum sweating and sweating after surgery can also be treated with Guizhi Decoction 4 Guizhi Decoction can strengthen your heart The heart is like the sun and Guizhi is like the sun in the sky it can warm the heart and continuously infuse it with yang energy Guizhi is red in color and enters the heart it has the nature of the liver and the nature of the liver disperses into yang while sour and bitter flavors drain and form yin 5 Guizhi Decoction combines pungent and liver-flavored herbs which can replenish the body's yang energy Additionally the decoction contains licorice root jube and white peony root all of which are blood-nourishing herbs that can also replenish the heart's yin blood If you feel your heart yang is insufficient with cold sharp chest pain that occurs intermittently you can use Guizhi Tang Alternatively if you have a slow heart rate or weak heartbeats Guizhi Tang can also be used 5 Guizhi Decoction is a formula that strengthens the spleen and stomach Guizhi Decoction contains three herbs that strengthen the spleen and stomach: fresh ginger jube and licorice Fresh ginger warms the stomach and strengthens the spleen jube nourishes the spleen and licorice also nourishes the spleen as its sweet nature enters the spleen Now many people like to drink ginger jube tea which evolved from Guizhi Decoction Guizhi Decoction contains a herb called white peony root and by doubling the amount of white peony root and using malt sugar as a medicinal guide you get the famous Xiaojianzhong Decoction which is extremely effective for people with cold spleen and stomach Cancer patients often have poor appetites and weak bodies making Xiao Xian Zhong Tang the ideal remedy to strengthen the spleen and stomach 6 Guizhi Decoction can treat various skin diseases such as hives eczema and acne However it's important to note that all these skin diseases have one characteristic: they are caused by cold exposure Never think that skin diseases are just due to internal heat or heat toxins For example some people get hives from a breeze and this can be treated with Guizhi Decoction or some people develop eczema after eating cold fruits and this can also be treated with Guizhi Decoction Or some people sit by the window the color is very dark it never heals for a long time it's that kind of dark window you can use Guizhi Decoction use the yang energy of Guizhi Decoction to expel these dark things 7 Guizhi Decoction can soothe the liver regulate qi and invigorate yang energy making people feel more confident in a better mood and more motivated to work After all that Xiao Guan just

interest in everything appears weak looks listless rarely gets angry and prefers to be alone lying down this can be treated with Guizhi Decoction Cinnamon twig is the tender branch at the top of the cinnamon tree absorbing the most wood energy since sweet is related to wood having sufficient wood energy makes one less prone to depression Guisui also has the energy of growth just like a child who
