China's traditional Chinese medicine to 

        Cassia twig decoction is the very first song treatise on febrile disease, the later is called "group of Fang Zhiguan". Zhang zhongjing guizhi soup range widely used, is one of large syndrome in treatise on febrile disease, zhang zhongjing not only use it to cure these diseases, and use it to treat internal injuries miscellaneous diseases. But use it for any syndrome, there is sweat out, evil wind, sweat out, evil wind is the use of the primary symptom of guizhi soup reflects the pathogenesis of camp who don't. 
 
        What is the camp who doesn't? The human body contains many important original gas, gas, gas, gas, such as camp kidney and so on, they are all important molecules in the activities of human life. Gas, is in charge of nutrition, the so-called camp, nutrition, runs in the blood, is an important component of the blood. Who, as the name suggests, is to protect human body, human body immunity, we often mentioned defense force, who is the function of the gas, it runs in the table, can protect the body from being invaded by the infringement, control sweat pore to open and close, warm the body to maintain body temperature. Camp gas and wei qi, Yin and Yang, cooperate closely. Camp who camp gas from leaking gas protection, gas nourishing who is not weak, this state is called camp guard to reconcile. If invaded by interference, or because of excessive fatigue, daily life include factors such as improper, cause who gas can't very well gas solid taken camp, Yin leaked, will be sweating. Big sweat after sweat pore, and defend gas and its control, will be afraid, afraid of the cold wind, that zhang zhongjing use guizhi soup to recuperate. 
 
        Guizhi soup medicine composition and efficacy 
 
        Guizhi soup consists of five drugs: cassia twig, peony, ginger, jujube, licorice. 
 
        Guizhi soup is the camp who doesn't sweat the main parties, the type belongs to "sweat" sweat, the sweat is characteristic of much sweat during the day, the activity will sweat out, quiet when sweat less. Because of the sweat out frequently, often open sweat pore, it is easy to catch a cold, so cold again and again, that his low immunity, called wei qi deficiency of traditional Chinese medicine, often use guizhi soup recuperate. 
 
        Cassia twig XinGan and temperature, to elevate who, at the same time can eliminate pathogenic; Peony, the use of radix paeoniae alba, have nourishing camp gas effects. Cassia twig to suit the radix paeoniae alba, a Yang help who, the folding of the camp, a ziyin for harmonic camp guard, improve business health status, improve the body immunity. Ginger and cassia twig is a kind of, it is the product of XinWen, function is to help cassia twig in the qiang wei evil spirits; Jujube and radix paeoniae alba as a class, all has the effect of filling Yin camp, so is to help the root of herbaceous peony in the party. So his own has close ties to the two drugs: cassia twig and radix paeoniae alba, ginger and jujube. Cassia twig and radix paeoniae alba is Lord of the harmonic business health medicine, ginger and jujube is to reconcile camp guard in a supporting role. Can also be regarded them as two groups of drugs, cassia twig and a set of ginger, belongs to the symplectic flavour group; Radix paeoniae alba and jujube a set, belongs to the acid groups. If deserve to go up of liquorice, this party is more interesting, glycyrrhiza adjuvant, TCM believes that smell of medicine with umami drug use, can be im sun be the spirit, is called "symplectic GanHua Yang", is used to weak sun be the spirit of the disease; And with grape sour medicine medicine use, can be im Yin jin, known as "acid GanHua Yin", used for less and disease. Thus, cassia twig decoction in both the cassia twig, ginger and licorice GanHua Yang, and radix paeoniae alba, jujube and licorice acid GanHua Yin, so from this Angle, cassia twig decoction not only reconcile camp guard, and have adjusted to fill the role of Yin and Yang. TCM holds that the human disease is born out of an important reason is out of balance of Yin and Yang, cassia twig decoction can harmonize Yin and Yang, so the applicable scope is quite widespread, cassia twig decoction prescriptions is the chief representative of "harmony". 
 
        Cassia twig decoction to treat women menopausal hot flashes sweat out 
 
        Said to sweat, we immediately think of menopausal women, they are the most typical symptom is hot flashes sweat out. Women after menopause, because menstruation is going to stop a moment, estrogen secretion is reduced, the endocrine system of long-term equilibrium will be broken. Body adjustment ability of the one who is, won't have obvious symptoms, but if the adjustment ability is bad, can lead to endocrine disorders, many of the symptoms, is called "climacteric syndrome", some symptoms even amorphous. Menopausal syndrome showed symptoms of the most prominent and centralized is baking hot sweat, sweat out obviously afraid of cold, after several array will come in a day, if there is no internal heat, cassia twig decoction is effective prescription for the treatment of the disease, because of zhang zhongjing "sweat the fever out instead of the" class of disease, is the selection of cassia twig decoction. 
 
        I use cassia twig decoction treated many sweat menopausal syndrome, as long as no thermal image (including hot, hot, hot and humid, blood heat, heat), I use his own. This kind of disease occurs mostly in 48 ~ 51, female, some morning sweating, night sweating, or the whole body sweating, some half body sweating, and only the head sweat, the more there is no rule, before sweating hot, cold sweats to dying, pale and tender tongue, like the Japanese tofu, is typical for the camp who don't. A female patient is 56 years old, menopause and 5, and 6 years, but still have been baking hot sweat out, afraid of cold, defecate is not forming, pale tongue, I gave her a cassia twig decoction, closed solid table gas yupinfeng powder (containing astragalus, atractylodes, wind), medication was healed in a week. There is a lady, 38 years old, unmarried, menstrual quantity has been reduced, the last two years in recent every time he comes to a few drops, no menstrual pads, body waves baking hot sweat, cold sweat to dying, dare not sitting under the air conditioning, this is a sign of menopause, aging in advance, I gave her guizhi soup, add some kidney drugs, eat a few weeks, not only baking hot sweat out ok, menstrual quantity also have increased significantly, lasted three days. So, cassia twig decoction for camp who doesn't sweat out, is very accurate. 
 
        The above knowable, cassia twig decoction to treat many diseases, why? Because these diseases have a common primary symptom: sweat out, afraid of cold. So applying guizhi soup, is to seize the sweat out primary symptom, afraid of cold. We emphasize the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is the key to how to find the patient's issue, we grasp the pathogenesis. How to accurately catch pathogenesis? First will be the primary symptom, and grasp the primary symptom depend from inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and pulse-taking and palpation and inspection report for symptoms of data to analyze, of course, some of these symptoms are the main or even the iconic, some is secondary, and some even is false. We have said, pure heat syndromes such as pure cold, pure, pure, pure real, clinical rare, but in most cases is not apparent, mixed therapy efficacy. As some patients, although the pain in the stomach a cold, but often lose again, or his stomach cold not hot drugs, a hot medicine is thirsty, or even your breath sores, grow big a knot in one's face. Some people are always weak drowsiness, long-term chronic fatigue, said himself is very empty, but just can't repair, a have vital tonic impassability, defecate is blocked, even nine orifices, eyes blurred, ear ring and plugging, nasal congestion, bad breath, etc. This needs to carefully analysis, induction, summary, to the essence, the true. The business of traditional Chinese medicine, the most difficult is not prescribing drugs, but a dialectical, the forum, to justify drug use. So, how can from complex numerous and complicated syndrome recognize the essence of syndromes, is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine need deep practicing internal strength. Here need some empirical, of course, but more important is the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine foundation foundation, the basic theory of TCM solid, the so-called foundation is thick, doctor dialectical accuracy is high.
