The frequency of "heat" is the highest among the main symptoms, followed by "pain" and "cough and asthma", ephedra is warm in nature and cannot be directly used for heat syndrome. However, Zhongjing skillfully combines it with high-dose gypsum to retain the nature of ephedra to promote evil and achieve pungent, cool and hot. Urination is related to the amount of body fluid in the body, and is mutually causal with water drinking. Therefore, licorice, Cinnamon Twig, peony, ginger and jujube are mainly used in the compatibility, with xin gan changing yang to help gasify, acid gan changing yin to nourish its source, and protect Zhongzhou hair moisture. Throughout ZHANG Zhongjing's use of ephedra, the main symptoms of ephedra involve a wide range. It is a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) with high application value, which needs the attention and exploration of clinical research. |
