Efficacy: dispelling cold and relieving pain.
Compatibility: Use Aconitum, which is pungent and hot, to treat severe cold. For episodic cold hernia with abdominal pain, cold limbs, and heavy pulse, it can dispel cold and help yang, relieve pain and pain, and honey. Decoction can not only cure the toxicity of Aconitum, prolong the efficacy of the medicine, but also be sweet and soothing. Together, it can be used as an agent to treat cold pain, soothe the spleen and replenish the spleen. Abdominal pain, stringy and tight pulse, stringy pulse means the Wei Qi is not strong, that is, aversion to cold, tight pulse means no desire to eat, and evil and good are competing with each other, which is cold hernia. If pain occurs around the navel, white sweating occurs, the hands and feet feel cold, and the pulse is deep and stringy, decoction of Aconitum aconitum is suitable. (17)
Aconite decoction: five large aconite pieces (boil, peel, do not chew)
Pour three liters of water on top, boil one liter, and remove Drizzle, two liters of inner honey, decoct to make the water and qi disappear, take two liters, strong people take seven parts, weak people take five parts. Not bad, take more tomorrow, not the same day.
This recipe comes from Zhang Zhongjing’s Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. Abdominal fullness, cold, and hernia due to food syndrome, Chapter 10, Section 16: "Abdominal pain, stringy and tight pulse, stringy pulse means weak Wei Qi, which means aversion to cold, and tight pulse means no desire to eat, and the evil and positive factors are intertwined, which is cold hernia. If there is navel pain, spontaneous sweating, numbness in the hands and feet, and a heavy and stringy pulse, Aconite Jian is the main treatment. " Let’s first analyze the meaning of this article;
It talks about symptoms; It is characterized by fullness in the abdomen, aversion to cold, loss of appetite, cold hernia around the navel, and spontaneous sweating (the disease is unbearably painful and refers to painful sweating), and cold hands and feet.
It refers to the pulse condition; the pulse is stringy and tight, or the pulse is heavy and stringy. Stringy, tight, and heavy pulses are all yin-cold pulse conditions, which occur in response to disease. When the disease occurs, which pulse occurs, the doctor diagnoses it and knows which pulse and disease occur. These subtle corresponding changes must be distinguished carefully.
It talks about the relationship between the evil and the symptoms of the pulse; if the string is weak, the Wei Qi is not good, and the Wei Yang is deficient. If it is tight, there will be no desire to eat, and if cold enters the middle, evil and good will be mutually exclusive. Sympathetic struggle.
Choose a prescription and use five pieces of Aconitum for the larger amount. (Why not say the weight, use pieces as the unit of weight. For the larger one, how big? There is no standard for how big it is. It may be single Aconitum. Long. It needs to be about 5 to 7 centimeters to be considered big, and the diameter should be about three centimeters. The weight of each piece is 20 grams, 30 grams, or 50. I haven’t specified it yet.) The processing method is to boil it raw, peel off the skin, and don’t chew it.
Medicine cooking method: Boil one liter of three liters of water, drain, add two liters of honey, decoct until the water is gone, take two liters (the amount of water shown here is the time for cooking the medicine) .
The way to take the medicine is to force people to take Qihe, which is not bad. I will take more tomorrow. It is a description of the dosage for different body types (that is, the weak should take less).
It contains two liters of honey, one of which is to remove toxins from Aconitum. The second is to soften its nature and harmonize it with sweetness. Eliminate evil and strengthen health. Prevent the change of deficiency.
After a general analysis of the above article, the key cause of this disease is the invasion of cold evil into the human body and the condensation of yin evil. Because yin prevails and yang is deficient, defensive qi cannot be used. Cold is the cause of illness. Pain, fullness in the abdomen, no desire to eat, spontaneous sweating, cold hands and feet, or stringy and stringy pulse are all the results of the disease. It is the external phenomenon of disease. To treat pulse syndrome, the main treatment is to use pungent and warm, yang-tonifying, and menstrual-stimulating prescriptions. This is the thinking method for treating this type of yin-cold coagulation disease. The big aconite decoction is the main one. What does it mean? "Master" is often used in Zhang Zhongjing's books. This points out the direction of treating diseases, selecting prescriptions, and using medicines. The pungent and warm medicines for this kind of cold disease cannot be changed, but you can choose these warm medicines flexibly. The explanations contained therein are learned, well-founded and profound. This is the mother side, and it is also the method of open source. Its application is very flexible and changeable, and it cannot be rigidly adhered to. To understand its profound meaning. The clinical diagnosis can be clearly understood in the mind, the prescription for the disease can be understood, the method of disease can be changed, the corresponding medicine method can be understood, the disease can be known, the method can be known, the prescription can be known, and the medicine can be known. If you use it without chaos and respond to all changes, you will be able to fight a hundred battles without danger.
In Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and Treatise on Febrile Diseases. It can be seen that a large number of aconite herbs appear in different prescriptions (it is unknown whether the aconite used at that time was artificially grown or wild). Whether it is external cold evil, or the treatment of internal injuries and miscellaneous diseases. played a very important role. Among the 112 prescriptions in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", the original text mentions the use of Fuzi prescriptions in about 35 places. The ratio is about 3 or 2 to 1, which means that one of the prescriptions in less than 4 prescriptions uses Fuzi. . So many uses of Aconite should arouse our thinking, indicating the importance of Aconite in dispelling cold, warming Yang, and relieving adverse events. The raw aconite and aconite used in it are different from the processing methods we use today. The cannon method at that time may have been to use charcoal ash to simmer the cannon. The dosage is usually one to three pills. Peel and break (cut) into eight pieces. Think about it, cutting the aconite into eight pieces shouldn't be too small. Only in ‘Wumewan’ does it mention the use of six liang. The time for cooking medicine is mostly "boil three liters of water to one liter".
Today's people may not have a standard understanding of the concept of liter. When I was a child, I could see that one liter of bamboo cans in the store was about half a catty, and one liter of rice was also half a catty. A large sheng, a small sheng, or a bucket are all made of wood, bamboo, or earthen jars. Just imagine, one liter at that time might be about 250 grams today. The terms of liter will vary in different regions. In order to further understand the medicine such as Aconitum, it is necessary to explain its variety and origin, quality and processing, medicinal properties and application, and post-drug reactions.
There are dozens of varieties of Aconitum found in most parts of the country. We can only talk about some common types of Aconitum commonly used in medicinal materials. The Aconitum growing in the wild is called 'Aconitum Aconitum' and is customarily called 'Aconitum Aconitum'. Most of the Aconitum we use for medicine are artificially grown Aconitum Aconitum and Aconite. This is a plant of the same genus. It is a different way of saying that people choose and use the main root piece and the lateral root piece (Aconite) of Aconitum separately in the process of treating diseases. Sichuan Aconitum; synonym, Aconitum. It is the root tuber of Aconitum (cultivation product) of the Ranunculaceae family. Perennial grass, 60-120 cm tall. This root block usually grows in two rows. The outer skin is spindle-shaped to obovate and dark brown; the roots (Aconite) of cultivated species are very enlarged, up to 5 cm in diameter. In reality, it is less than or exceeds 5 cm. Sichuan Aconitum and Aconitum Aconitum were collectively called Aconitum before the Ming Dynasty... According to this sketch, Aconitum Sichuanensis was called Aconitum Aconitum before the Song Dynasty, and it seems to belong to the wild Aconitum. Currently used medicines are mainly produced in Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.
Selection of medicinal materials: The dried mother root is elongated and conical in shape, or has residual stems, with a body length of 3 to 7 cm and a diameter of 1.5 to 3 cm. The surface is brown, wrinkled and uneven, or has conical nodule-like lateral roots, and there are traces left after the aconite was cut off. The texture is solid, white or slightly gray in section, and polygonal ring patterns can be seen in the cross section. Odorless, spicy and numbing taste. The best ones are those that are even, plump, solid, and have no hollows. (Explanation: In actual medicinal materials, due to different digging times, there are not many standard products found).
Processing;
1. Wash and dry the raw Sichuan Aconite, soak and rinse in cold water, change the water 2 to 3 times a day (if the water is not changed frequently, it will become rotten and smelly in the heat of summer) ), take it out when it tastes only slightly spicy, add licorice, black beans and water to boil until the Sichuan black beans are cooked and there is no white heart inside, take out the Sichuan black beans and dry them in the sun, moisten them, slice them and dry them in the sun (per 100 kilograms of Sichuan black beans Use 5 pounds of licorice and 10 pounds of black beans).
2. The preparation methods in the traditional Chinese medicine preparation books are different. Let’s talk about it here too. Soak the cleaned Sichuan Wuji in clean water for 2 to 3 days, change the water 2 to 3 times a day, take it out and dry it, take rice vinegar and ginger juice, put it into the pot with Sichuan Wu, add water to soak the noodles, and simmer until the water becomes soft. 80% dry, then simmer until water is absorbed, take out to dry, cut into slices, and dry in the sun. For every 100 kilograms of Sichuan Wu, use 2.5 kilograms of vinegar and 2.5 kilograms of ginger (there may be more than this).
3. The methods of processing and processing traditional Chinese medicine are different. Pick up the original drug Aconite Radix, put it in a sieve basket, rinse it with water, take it out, divide it into large and small pieces, put it into a tank and soak it in water for 5 days in spring, 3 days in summer, and 10 days in winter (depending on the size of the original drug) Soaking and blanching time) until there is no dry core inside the cut, take it out, dry the skin, put it in a steamer, add one layer of Sichuan Wu and one layer of ginger (sliced), 1 until all the layers are spread, steam over medium heat for 10 hours, take a large solid and cut the inside If there is no white heart and there is a slight numbness in the mouth, take it out and dry it to 60% to 70% dryness, cut it into 2 mm vertical slices, and dry it in the sun.
Finished product specifications; there is no explanation in some books, but it is mentioned in the book Processing and Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, use this as a reference. The processed aconite has a gray-brown outer skin, gray-white cut surface, translucent round slices, and a slightly numbing taste in the mouth. (The aconitum commonly seen in pharmacies is not as good as this. There are more thick stems and more gray-black ones. The color is related to the different processing methods)
Nature and flavor; pungent, hot, and poisonous.
Returns through the meridians; enters the spleen, Mingmen, and two meridians. It also says: Start with Jueyin and Shaoyin meridian.
Functions and Indications: Dispelling cold and dampness, dispersing wind evil, warming menstruation, relieving pain, treating cold and pain in the heart and abdomen, treating wind-cold-damp paralysis, gangrene, poisonous swelling and other diseases. Dosage; 1. 5~6 grams, another book says; 3~9 grams
Aconite; it is the side tuber root (root) of Aconitum (cultivation product) of the Ranunculaceae plant. During the summer solstice, the sub-roots attached to the mother root are dug out, and after being washed, they are called mud aconite. Mainly produced in Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.
Processing;
To make salt aconite, select the larger mud aconite, wash the soil, immerse it in a mixture of salt brine and table salt, take it out to dry every day, and gradually extend the drying time Time until a large number of crystallized salt particles appear on the surface of the aconite and the body becomes hard.
For Heishun slices, select medium-sized aconite, wash the soil, immerse it in salt brine for several days, boil it with the brine, remove and rinse, cut into thick slices, and then immerse in dilute brine. Add a toner made of brown sugar and vegetable oil to the water to dye the attached piece into a strong brown color. Rinse it with water until it tastes no spicy, take it out, steam it, bake it until it is semi-dry, and then dry it in the sun.
Bleaf aconite, (this is different from Araceae, it is Yu Baifu, named Dujiaolian). Select smaller Aconite, wash the soil, and immerse it in salt brine for several days. , and boil it with salt brine until the heart is thick, take it out, peel off the skin, cut it into thin slices lengthwise, rinse it with water until it tastes no spicy, take it out, steam it, dry it in the sun, and smoke it with sulfur (color will turn white) and dried in the sun.
In the book "Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine", the processing method used is different from the above method.
Select the lateral roots of Aconitum, which are conical in shape, with a wide top, a sunken bud mark in the center, a plump upper body, and raised bifurcations around it. The surface is dark gray, and the cut surface is oily, shiny, and textured. Hard and brittle, the broken surface is horny. It is better to have no odor, light taste and no rot in any part.
Prepare the aconite slices, soak them in 1% dilute alum water for 5 days, and change the water 3 times a day. Then cut it straight into 2 cm thick slices, wash them with water, dry them in the sun until they are 80% to 90% dry, steam them for 4 hours and then dry them in the sun. Use 1 jin of alum for every 100 jin of aconite.
For Pao Tianxiong, soak the aconite in 1% dilute alum water for 5 days, change the water 3 times a day, remove the skin and remove the head and tail, and cut into 2 cm thick slices. , dried until 80% to 90% dry, steamed for 4 hours and then dried. To make it soft and non-sticky, use an iron sieve to grill the aconite over a charcoal fire in the tank until the aconite is swollen and bubbly on both sides. Take it out and cool it before use. Another way to make it is to moisten it with ginger juice overnight and steam it for 6 to 8 hours. The method used by Pao Tianxiong is the same. For every 100 pounds of aconite, grind 10 pounds of ginger into the juice, decoct the ginger residue in 30% water and mix well. Aconite, Aconitum, Tianxiong, Side, and Black Beak are harvested and soaked in raw and cooked soup for half a day. Do not allow them to extinguish. When taken out, mix them with white ash and dry them easily. Another method: when five things are harvested, brewing is made in one place. Make your own rice vinegar half a month before harvesting. It does not need to be too acidic. Submerge the collected rice vinegar in a washed jar for seven days, stir it once a day, take it out, sift it and spread it out. Make students wear white clothes. It is left to dry in the slow wind and in the sun for a hundred and ten days until it is completely dry.
Another artillery method in the book; whenever Aconite Aconitum is used, it should be dismantled with hot ash micro-artillery to avoid over-cooking. It is also said that anyone who makes aconite will use willow wood, civil and military ashes, fire, cannons and skin to remove it. Use a knife to scrape off the upper part of the pregnancy and break the bottom tip. Dig a hole in the ground, place it, and take it out overnight. For drying. (The so-called "liumu Wenwu ash fire, hot ash" may be difficult to understand for people who grow up in the city, because nowadays people use more electricity and liquefied gas. In mountainous areas, people who use firewood to cook meals understand better that firewood burns. The hot ashes left behind. This method is similar to the folk method of simmering Aconitum. Today, it is used by a few people to treat numbness and pain. They are very conservative and do not treat people lightly. , the usage is very similar to what Li Shizhen said. This medicine is more powerful because it contains a sufficient amount of wild herbs.)
Nature and flavor: pungent, hot, and poisonous.
Return to the meridians; heart, spleen, kidney meridians
Function: restore yang and relieve inverse conditions, replenish fire and yang, treat internal and external yin-cold. Through the Twelve Classics.
Dosage: 1~3 yuan. Please note the dosage; 10~20 grams.
Doubtful; in the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao had a daughter named Yifang. I didn’t see any mention of the cultivation of Aconitum and Aconite. Cloud: "Aconite is grown in the mountain valleys and harvested in Guanghan in winter as aconite and harvested in spring as aconitum". (Obviously the harvesting time is different from the current planting and harvesting time. Another idea is to harvest the artificially planted aconite in winter when all the stems and leaves on the ground have fallen, because this refers to the Guanghan area) In the area mentioned above, Aconitum is harvested in early spring, and Aconite harvested in winter is of the best quality. At this time, it is still in the cold frost and snow, and the roots collected at this time are heavy, plump, and full of medicinal properties. . The stems and leaves on the ground have already completely fallen off, and their nutrients have returned to their roots (at this time, the sky enters the earth, the hexagram is "Earth, Tiantai", Taiye, Anye, Yang sneaks into it, like a tassel in the mother's arms, sleeping soundly in the sweet In the middle of the year, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, it is the time when the three Yangs are in full swing.) The essence is hidden in the roots. At this time, the roots have accumulated Yang Qi, which is undergoing extremely subtle changes with the earth's heat and subtle substances. It is full of it and is ready to be warmed in the coming spring.
The above quotation is to explain whether the Aconitum and Aconite used by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty were wild or artificially cultivated medicinal materials. The answer is hard to pin down. The aconite used by Zhang Zhongjing back then.
In many prescriptions, it is clearly stated that health should be sustained, which can be seen in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". Why do people today dare not use raw aconite? Why are there such strict restrictions on the medicinal use of raw aconite and aconite? Use crude medicine, which is hard to find. You can only miss the opportunity for treatment. How can we say this is good or evil?
How to identify the quality of Aconite medicinal materials;
This is a very critical issue before doctors and patients. The quality of medicinal materials is the key to the success or failure of treatment. This question cannot be vague. Today, or in other words, the teaching methods of traditional Chinese medicine that came out after the 1980s are basically from books to medical treatment. There is basically a disconnect between using and understanding medicine. This is the tragedy of Chinese medicine. When you get a piece of aconite in your hand, you can't tell whether it's good or bad, and you can't tell whether it's the same disease. One piece of aconite can be used to treat it, but another piece of aconite is useless. After use, it will worsen the condition. It is impossible to tell whether the aconite has deteriorated during the blanching process before processing. I can’t tell whether the aconite has been over-prepared and the medicinal properties have been artificially destroyed. If you use this aconite, which has no medicinal properties, to treat diseases, or it can be said to be medicine residue. Will it work? Look at what the ancients said in the Book of Materia Medica: Aconite, 'but this thing is good at perishability. All medicines in the market are made of salt, and they are soaked in water to remove the salty taste. In fact, it has a pungent and warm smell, which is controlled by the saltiness of salt. If it is repeatedly immersed in water, it will almost lose its straightness after being processed for a long time. ’ Why should we use salt to soak aconite? It is not perishable. If it is soaked for a long time, what is the difference between it and pickled vegetables? This method is the worst way to control Aconite. The method of soaking aconite is distorted due to artificial distortion. Nowadays, we see salt aconite. Excessive use of salt is ineffective in curing many diseases. People today are greedy for profit. Can we say what kind of salt is used to pickle aconite? Either too much salt is used, or it is tasteless, or it is prepared with rotten aconite. Nowadays, if doctors don’t go to the drug market for identification, how can they know how to use the medicine? After looking at it, they can see several kinds of available aconite. Deplorable. Furthermore, the medicinal properties of processed aconite from different origins and batches are different. Doctors must not fail to examine it. Let’s give an example to illustrate;
Example 1. A few years ago, a patient with liver cancer was prescribed 80 grams of aconite. On the third day, the patient came to me and said, "Dr. Chen took the medicine you prescribed yesterday. After taking the medicine, I felt very uncomfortable. My whole body was weak, I couldn't speak, and I didn't like to eat." Abdominal distention. After listening to the situation and thinking about it briefly, the patient took the medicine for more than a year and it was normal. This prescription has been used several times. The dosage of aconite has not changed, but the other medicines have slightly increased or decreased, and the main prescription has not changed. Why is it so wrong? Is the prescription wrong or there is something wrong with the medicine? The pulse was cut and compared with the pulse previously diagnosed, it became larger, stringy, tight, and slipped downwards. The pulse originally had become smaller, why did it suddenly change like this? This is the pulse of the disease. It shows that his abdomen is indeed full. Ask him to take a look at the Chinese medicine he hasn't taken yet. Separate the medicine blindly. The medicine was taken correctly. It's just that the shop made the flakes into salted flakes. When you taste the flakes, they are very salty. Just imagine that 80 grams of aconite is like adding 30 to 50 grams of salt. It's strange that patients can't find new problems. This salt aconite is completely opposite to the idea of ????treating diseases. It's a mistake to get this drugstore. The patient didn't know what to do and thought it was the doctor's fault in prescribing the medicine incorrectly. (Having been a doctor for many years, I have been subjected to similar responsibilities again and again). He wanted to throw away the medicine, but he took out the salt aconite and bought 80 grams of aconite tablets from another drugstore. The patient came to see me two days later and was told that there were no adverse reactions after taking the medicine. The same party, the same person, and the same disease have different reactions due to different processing of aconite. Controlling the quality of medicines is the key to treating diseases. Doctors must have the ability to identify in this regard. Sometimes it is necessary to review the Chinese medicines one by one.
Nowadays, the processing and processing methods of aconite medicinal materials vary from place to place, with different advantages and disadvantages. Some of them are unqualified, rotten, and have poor medicinal properties. If you pay attention, you will find a lot of them. This is really a corruption phenomenon of medicinal materials. Those who don’t know are not afraid, but those who know will feel scared. If a patient needs such a drug to save his life, let's think about the consequences. For some common diseases, some inferior aconite was used, but the curative effect was not good. I don’t know. But the medication for key diseases is quite different. Nowadays, many doctors don’t know what the problem is. Patients don't even know. In the process of treating diseases for many years, it is common to find that the inferiority of Aconite affects the effect of treatment. At first I thought it was the wrong prescription. Later, I thought deeply about it and went to a drugstore to see medicine, and then to a medicine wholesaler to see medicine. For patients in different regions who use aconite, they are often asked to buy the aconite and bring it to the doctor. Just discovered something. Especially for the treatment of liver cirrhosis, ascites, nephritis, edema, some cancers and other diseases.
Choosing good or bad aconite, or aconite prepared in different ways, is a fine line between success and failure. This is the last glimmer of hope for patients. There is no room for error in treatment at this time. In particular, there are some preparation methods that cannot be used frequently, or at all, for this type of disease. For example, only aconite soaked in brine salt (gallbladder water) can be used to prepare black aconite slices, white aconite slices, and salt aconite slices. Aconite et al. It cannot serve a good purpose, and sometimes using a few more packs may be harmful to the disease. To treat this kind of disease, it is best to use the processing methods mentioned in the books "Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine", "Processing and Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine" and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica". The selection of Aconite is subject to many conditions. In order to cure diseases, we often go to great lengths to find a little bit of aconite that can be used by the body.
The authenticity of Chinese medicinal materials directly affects the quality, nature and taste of the medicine. There are many factors that affect the changes in the nature and flavor of Aconite. As a doctor, we have to understand and face what is authentic, which means that the climate, soil, and altitude here are suitable for the growth of medicinal materials. If there is too much human intervention and transplantation to other places (places that are not suitable for the growth of aconite) will affect the quality of the medicinal materials, it is not authentic. This is an artificially planted tunnel. Medicinal materials in their natural state, also known as wild in situ, are truly authentic. At present, most of the aconite we use are cultivated products. Mostly annual products. Nowadays, Aconite and Aconite are grown in fields and are often interplanted with other economic plants. After digging in the summer, it is for the growth of other plants. For the sake of economic benefits, people use land to increase value. They will not plant monkshood in the field for several years and then dig it up, because it has no economic benefit and the roots will grow slower over time. Fifty years ago, there was no need for chemical pesticides or fertilizers when growing monkshood. But now it is basically used. It can be seen from "Cultivation of Chinese Herbal Medicine" that it is easy for people to plant aconite; 1. White silk disease, the affected roots will suffer from dry rot, rot, or wet rot. Use pesticides to prevent and treat pesticides such as pentachloronitrobenzene, carbendazim or thiophanate-methyl. 2. Root-knot nematode disease: Use a drop-by-drop mixture for the land, 60 to 100 pounds per dose. 3. Pests caused by grubs and mole crickets. Trichlorfon and other drugs. Aconite grows in a place with plenty of sunshine, a warm and humid climate, rich soil, sandy texture, and good drainage. Aconite grown in mountainous areas around 1,000 meters above sea level is not prone to degradation.
There are different opinions on the dosage of aconite; how much should be used. I saw some pharmacopoeia stipulating that the maximum dosage is 6 grams. Some books are more liberal and cap the dosage of aconite at 20 grams. Therefore, most pharmacies currently do not sell aconite if it exceeds 20 grams when they see a prescription. For the safety of medication, according to regulations, the starting point is good faith. It's understandable a little bit. Some people say that aconite is poisonous, and 20 grams is too much. They need to pay attention to it and be careful. Their understanding of aconite is only in books and has not been confirmed in practice. They are not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at all. practice. Many patients who have not yet taken their medicine will feel frightened when they hear someone say this. I came back with the prescription and asked me if I had prescribed too much aconite. The person at the pharmacy or the doctor said that aconite was poisonous. In the past, I would repeatedly explain to patients why so much Aconite should be used. It was because of the disease that a sufficient amount of Aconite should be used. Over the years, I can say that I have to spend too much time on this matter every year, and it is too tiring. It’s so helpless, and most doctors object because they don’t understand it (as long as the patient shows them the prescription). Now, if someone is afraid of taking the prescription after seeing Aconite, I can only say to them, if you are afraid, don’t take this prescription. Just think, why should I? Why not be a good person who does things according to the rules. Want to be a bad guy? Why did he honestly put himself in danger, but in order to save others, he didn't know that he was walking on a knife's edge or on a tightrope in the sky. Why do you have to do something that everyone is responsible for? All this is very clear in my heart. Most of the patients who come to see me have been to many big hospitals, and some hospitals say they are very ugly. Seeing such patients, they have very little hope of survival. If they receive unreasonable treatment, you can only count how long they can survive. Moreover, using Aconite does not guarantee that the disease will be cured. Look at those people who seem to be kind according to the rules, but at the critical moment they can't think of a good way to cure the disease and relieve the pain of the patient. They miss the opportunity of treating the patient and are really talking nonsense. If you are trapped by the enemy and your vitality is strangled, you need to be wise and courageous, and dare to take dangerous routes to seize the initiative. Maybe the light will shine again and victory is within our grasp. If you lose your wits, are brave and proactive, and are pedantic and kind-hearted on the surface, you will be like an 'Adou'. You will not distinguish between good and evil, and will continue to develop the disease. You will be a traitor and an enemy.
How much aconite should be used in the prescription and which method of preparing the aconite should be used to treat the disease. They are all choices made based on different changes in the disease. If a disease requires a large amount of Aconite, the doctor will miss the opportunity to cure the disease. It's the doctor's fault.
If aconite should not be used for this disease, or if the amount of aconite used for this disease can only be 5 grams, but 20 grams is used, it is also the doctor's fault. Lose both. Using aconite for curing diseases is not about making embroidery or looking good when opened. No one wants to take such a big risk. If you should use it, use it; if you shouldn't use it, don't use it at all. The amount of aconite is the choice of the disease, not the person. Senior Yunnan traditional Chinese medicine doctor Wu Xianheng's understanding and application of aconite. It is worth learning and researching by doctors. His understanding of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and the application of his understanding of Aconite are rare in the world. He is a midfielder at critical moments. He is a man who can do something for others, turn the tide and accomplish extraordinary feats. He is a rare mentor, and his thoughts have a great influence on me. I would like to express my deep respect.
Before I learned Chinese medicine, I was a child. I saw some people boiling 'Yang Fu' and 'Goat Head' together and then taking them to treat head wind. The so-called "Yangfu" is Paofuzi (at that time, I didn't even know that Yangfu pharmacy was called Fuzi, and some people are still accustomed to calling it Yangfu, which is more suitable for the medicinal properties), and you have to buy large pieces of Aconite (Tianxiong). The dosage varies from half a liang, one liang, two liang, and half a catty at a time. Most people get good results after taking it, and some stubborn headaches are cured by this folk prescription. This is an experience I left behind at some time. I have paid attention to its usage and found that they do not use it blindly, but from the least to the most. I asked them how many times they would take it, and one person told me that she took it 6 times in a row. It is eaten by boiling aconite with meat and is also found in other regions. Especially in winter. The dosage will not be small. It is based on local experience, or the experience left by their ancestors. Why not use aconite alone, but cook it with meat. There is knowledge in this. If aconite is not cooked with meat but used alone, most people will have problems if they eat it. This is what people today call poisoning. Because of the meat, the toxins of aconite are suppressed, and the functions of dispelling wind and cold, warming yang, and tonifying are strengthened. Another problem is the time for cooking the medicine. It is impossible for ordinary people to understand all the medicinal properties of aconite. They just pass methods one to another. If they weren't cooked with the meat they would be poorly timed. Cook it with the meat bones until the meat is cooked and tender. Of course, you need to be patient and wait for several hours. In the knowledge and ignorance, the correct use process of Aconite was completed according to the requirements of medicinal properties. Someone also told me that in ethnic minority areas, people still have the habit of cooking raw aconite with meat. Put a few kilograms of beef and mutton in a large pot, take out a few kilograms of raw aconite from the field, wash it and cook it together with the meat. Aconite is more or less entirely experience. Cook over medium-low heat from morning until evening. It takes about ten hours. The folk customs have been passed down for thousands of years, and there is a reason for them. They use it without knowing the reason. The one-time consumption of aconite exceeds the existing regulation of 20 grams. They are several times this amount. It can be very poisonous if eaten. It has no therapeutic or beneficial effects on the human body. This Dharma will not spread and will have been extinguished long ago. To be a doctor, you must first be good at understanding the profound principles. This will be of great help in improving the overall theoretical level of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This seems very 'unfashionable', and it doesn't look like anything famous on the surface. Use macroscopic thinking to observe. You will discover many mysteries that are far-reaching, broad, and endlessly memorable. The Tao is in it.
The indications for using Aconite Prescription are mentioned in many books, but there is no unified statement. Tongue and pulse syndrome is difficult to diagnose at the critical moment, but one thing that needs to be grasped is the difference between yin and yang syndrome. The Treatise on Febrile Diseases says: "If a patient is very hot and wants to wear clothes, the heat is in the skin and hip, and the cold is in the bone marrow; if the patient is very cold and doesn't want to wear clothes, the cold is in the skin and hip, and the heat is in the bone marrow." By drawing inferences from this scripture, we can get rid of many false phenomena and see the essence of the disease. You will be able to take medicines freely. People who are too weak should not use too much Aconite for the first time, or not use it at all.
Aconite should not be used by patients with symptoms of warm heat, damaging body fluids and excessive toxicity.
People who are in a bad mood, have rapid mood changes, are irritable, or have liver qi stagnation should not use Aconite or temporarily.

If you experience numbness in your mouth, tongue and whole body after taking Aconite, stop taking Aconite and immediately eat ginger and honey (the amount of both should be flexible, half a catty at most) can relieve it or use other methods to relieve it.
The patient started to sweat profusely and felt weak after taking Aconite. He stopped taking Aconite and checked whether there was anything wrong with the preparation of Aconite in the prescription.

For serious patients, the doctor must personally inspect the aconite used if it has health conditions.
People who are afraid of aconite should not use aconite. Nowadays, when some people talk about Aconite, they will say it is poisonous. This makes people scared and has brought many negative effects to Aconite.
This is a very irresponsible, unobjective and unfair statement.
To use Aconite, or to use Aconite for a longer period of time, you must know how to use the counter-adjuvant method.
Doctors should be aware of some normal and abnormal reactions that patients may experience after taking aconite. There are multiple ways to deal with it. For example, 'cold', diarrhea (a few will vomit), soreness caused by gas accumulation somewhere, belching in the abdomen, gas traveling somewhere in the body, or gas traveling down the feet, etc. Many phenomena are caused by medicine. normal reaction. These phenomena will disappear when the potency of the medicine reaches a certain amount, and the disappearance time varies from person to person. If the patient does not understand this and is afraid, it is best for the doctor to stop prescribing or tell him not to take the medicine.
Prepared aconite that does not meet the treatment requirements, or has gone bad, cannot be used in prescriptions and must be stopped.
Do not take Aconitum and Aconite alone orally. (For the uninitiated).
Whenever the amount of aconite is used, it usually needs to be fried for more than 2 hours.
