Chinese medicine research to be good analogy method (two)

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        Analogy method for modern Chinese medicine research

        Chinese pathology of analogy method

        Traditional Chinese medicine for many diseases and pathological interpretation of natural phenomena, often from outside the direct or indirect imaging, such as fox and disease, renal mass gas. In the pathology of the applications are also many, for example as follows.

        The Xu Shuwei" Puji Shi Fang" Vol3stopped drinking addiction cough sputum sputum said: to life has two difficulty, a visceral blood, the two diaphragm stop drinking blood, sometimes and stop, stop drinking any time. Only for youth nights sitting as a text, left to V table, is eating more fall to the left, the night after slightly sleepy, will drink two or three cup, both lying on his left side, and to sleep, at the mad, don't sleep. Three five years later, feel wine check from the left, rumbling sound, hypochondriac pain, eating is reduced, dozen will vomit litres of acid water, the summer is just right body sweat, Chang Run disease, left off dry, visit the doctor and sea side dress, have little experience. Or disease, but started to answer, the complement as Tianxiong aconite ettringite, its benefit such as morning glory of Euphorbia kansui, tasted your. Prognostic theory, has a sac, as was the water with mortar, not PCG not, water PCG and also, clear and feasible, muddy still stop, no way to cover must also, is the product of the five seven day will vomit and go, slightly wider days answer. Spleen, earth, evil wet, but water is wet, morrow dry spleen to wins wet, soil worship to filler mortar, then when to go. He noted the screen the drug, a suit of Atractylodes lancea, but illness in March. Since then has served a few years, do not spit do not vomit, chest and diaphragm wide, eat or drink, the summer sweat and body whole body cold, Yin when middle, this drink stains the liver, head is dizzy, thereafter lamp can book fine words, all the power of the herb. The method on a catty, peeled and chopped, oil hemp half, water two, grind from juice, date fifteen, rotten boiled peeled nuclear research, Ma juice uniform inquiry into thin paste, mortar and pestle of into cooked, pill great son of Wu, dry. Daily fasting salt soup swallow fifty to one hundred pills, pills, two hundred pills, avoid Taoli sparrows and doves. Early service will be diaphragm micro dryness, and Mao surgery system, feel very dry, into the Gardenia a clothing, for a long time to dry and. To take half a year later, only Zaolie taste very laborious, rind not dip very strong, but also natural not dry too. Gardenia jasminoides scattered with blindly, do as the end, boiling point of service. Thus the sedentary can fell to one side, or sports, also news law.

        Xu Shuwei stopped drinking because of their stomach with a repeated treatment does not heal, so is the reflection of the pathological course. After a series of" theory," associate " buy water 's leap" phenomenon, creatively put forward the stomach" addiction capsule" pathological phenomenon, become known, TCM treatment of gastric ulcer, which cleverly ratio, in hundreds of years before with the aid of modern technical means to verify, its about. Sac 's conjecture and gastric ulcer crater today is very similar, this analogy method for improving our understanding of the disease, is worth to draw lessons from.

        Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of analogy method

        " Yin and Yang Yin, as big" said: so rule lawless days Ji, not to manage, then to disasters. Chinese medicine treatment of a clear emphasis on the need for and nature of things to establish sports analogy and classification process. In the" after" era, have plain based on analogy and classification methods, such as" because of its light and Jan, because of its weight and decreased, because of its decline and clear .". By later physicians continue to develop, and the creation of " water," Zhou " carry a pot lid", "around the division will Que"," a fundamental solution"," an ineffectual remedy" and other therapies. By analogy method and the continuous improvement of Chinese medicine treatment of content.

        To carry a pot lid law of the Yuan Dynasty originated by Zhu Danxi, is the analogy method of a successful case. " Dan Nama" said:" a man ill cure urination, in medicine, beneficial very. Weng referral, right" a taut slippery, said: ' the phlegm stagnation disease, phlegm stagnation in the lung. Lung and bladder for coke, char, coke, Jiao Sai close, such as water, will be on the tong body, then under the water out of him. ' But and spit, spit, disease such as failure." The late Zhao Shaoqin accedes further development of epidemic febrile disease everyone" to carry a pot lid" theory," declared open lung" method in the treatment of water metabolism disease, has been widely used in clinical treatment of various water metabolism disorders, especially in kidney disease.

        Inspired by the author, to grasp the Jichuan Jian in treating constipation and the use of black cohosh blindly, intention is" to carry a pot lid", hand and Foot Yangming gas are reduced to shun, Foot Yangming stomach canopy, so the turbid Yin did not fall, conduction loss of division, the use of black cohosh is left gastric, Xinliang and scattered, to carry a pot lid, Xuan Yang Qi Qi to, then, manure with gas reduction. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty Cheng Guo Peng" medicine comprehended third volume Verstopfung" said: " I have the old rule of false closing, to how to will, with Siwu Decoction and nourishing drugs increase Cimicifuga, prove successful in every test, this is the law and emergency." Traditional Chinese drug of analogy method, for the development of traditional Chinese medicine provides a train of thought. Combining modern pharmacological research show that: black cohosh can enhance the digestive glands, are similar to the traditional Chinese medicine " fluid dryness" role", through the study of TCM" confirmed cohosh laxative effect.

        In the pharmacy of analogy method

        The previous analogy method thought to guide the clinical treatment, help understanding drug efficacy of drugs, mainly from the shape and color, living environment, physiological characteristics in terms of research, the next.

        Form

        Drug form and effect inherent correlation. Such as vines, Caulis trachelospermi Caulis, Caulis Spatholobi, honeysuckle, through the" like" we'll analogy to person of main and collateral channels, and then recalled the dredge main and collateral channels role, experience in clinical, indeed effectively. Others such as orange, litchi nucleus nucleolus resembling male testis and has a warm yang qi powers for hernia gall; aristolochic, floating sea stone light body hollow resembling a lobe and Qingfei Zhike, reed rhizome, dandelion tube hollow stem and Tom Lee orifices function. Mulberry, lotus, turpentine a joint, due to" branch ' limbs, and has access to" treating arthralgia syndrome efficacy; walnut like brain and tonifying kidney and brain; earthworm shape of vascular and soft treatment of vascular sclerosis and wind syndrome.

        Some insects, because they are crawling through habit, to pass by the active medicinal effects, through practice, have proved effective every time, so traditional Chinese medicine also devoted to this class of drugs called" ants search tick products".

        Color is the inherent characteristics of the drugs, many physicians in color, and discuss the efficacy of drugs. Such as ginger is ginger dry goods, dried ginger color white, partial to into the lungs, warming the lung of drinking; ginger color yellowish, partial to the stomach, the stomach active. Sandalwood is also due to the color for two, Li Shizhen in the" Outline" cloud: Sandalwood Xin temperature, gas of medicine, it can manage Qi and regulating the spleen and lung, and chest and diaphragm; rosewood salty cold, blood medicine also, so energy and gas and detumescence poison, cure sore.

        Living environment

        Drugs on the growth environment often determines the drug's taste, drugs in the growth process that need to be overcome in the surroundings of bias, and has some special functions. Such as the growth in water wet swamp drugs, such as lotus ( lotus leaf, lotus stem, lotus, lotus seeds, lotus root, Lotus ), calamus, Alisma, with removing dampness dampness effect, aquatic animal, crucian carp loach is also superior to wet, or tortoiseshell, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata to Yin and blood, but the tortoise plastron is Huang Shanqian and wet land. Lotus seed germination in0 DEG C,3~ 5growth, so warm.

        Drugs of different growing season will affect the efficacy of drugs, such as" Shen Nong's Materia Medica" record" lunar January mining root, chrysanthemum should collect in March leaves, adopted in May September November stems, flowers, mining solid"," autumn harvest, tozo Chunsheng, Xia Chang," the meaning of the corresponding air lift ups and downs, such as mulberry, Paulownia Ye Chang the cream after recovery, i.e., the autumn cold chill of the air.

        Physiological characteristics

        Animal and plant physiological characteristics, is that people tend to initially explore the efficacy of medicinal starting point. For example, Gallus gallus, people initially through observation, found that chickens pecking sand Lai rubble to help digestion, so that Gallus gallus has the digestion and fossils and other functions. Classical rhubarb pill used in four kinds of insect drug, this four kinds of insect drug habit each are not identical, which bug ( i.e. woodlouse ) body after disconnection from one can be even, therefore has continued reinforcement osteosynthesis of reactive power; getting good fly, bit takes, vent hard Xin Kai; leech good good potential, retardation, salty soft is broken; the good drilling, though as the ants on tick product, but because the habit and efficacy of each partial victory. Chinese traditional medicine Gastrodia elata, the seedling is also called the wind grass, as the only child, not the wind shake, which is also its as endogenous wind medicine macro basis.

        Today, the Shanghai Hospital of Chinese Medicine Wang celebrity herbalist found by observation of peanut leaf has "day opening night" phenomenon, and puts forward the peanut leaf and nature of yin and Yang of synchronization, there may be some common material basis of vision, thus developing peanut leaf preparation in the treatment of insomnia, curative effect. Visible, of "analogy" to now still have important value in pharmaceutical research.

        Avoid blindly analogy method

        The ancient Chinese medicine experts using the analogy method of thought, development train of thought, careful study, achieved a lot today, worthy of our study and inheritance. However, to be aware of, in" taking" and" than" process, the practice main body is engaged in the activities of the people. Throughout the campaign, is one of the scale to study the problem, therefore, in the absence of standards and principles in the case, how to take the class, as it showed how subjective idealism, so easy to set pattern. As a doctor of Ji Chuan Jian ( Chinese angelica, radix, Cistanche, Alisma, Cimicifuga, Fructus aurantii ) compatibility relations, on the side of Cimicifuga was intended to" fire" as a metaphor, said furnace slag to cut down, we must first to poke, and called" want to fall first" method. Therefore, in the treatment of a case of a woman with habitual constipation, then to join 10g notopterygium, in order to" want to fall to rise". The results, due to the dryness of notopterygium, the female patient medication after 10days without stool. So, the idea is a kind of idea, but, on the side of Cimicifuga in significance and treatment of constipation in any meaning no objective evidence of conditions, can not blindly expand application, more cannot blind and extended to all ascending bulk drugs range. Therefore, the analogy is the premise to carefully observe, thinking & walking, in the perplexing phenomena found in the commonness between things. We believe that if in accordance with traditional Chinese medicine TCM thinking rule, study, learn from each other, and with the Senate, will make theoretical innovations and clinical breakthrough.
