From"Kidney is the Zang-Organ Of Fire And Water"to Discuss the Work of Yinhuo Decoction(引火汤)Downbearing Fire to its Origin
Yinhuo Decoctionn(引火汤)was originally designed for the"Yin acute tonsillitis".After analyzed for its patho-genesis and based on the idea of"treating different diseases with the same treatment",this prescription was inherited and devel-oped,making its treatment range very extensive.Therefore,the key to this prescription is the pathogenesis of Yinhuo Decoction's fire that does not return to its original source,and the understanding of the fire of no return-"Dragon Fire"is particularly important.The word"kidney is the organ of water and fire"comes from Zhang Jiebin's Lei Jing Fu Yi·Qiu Zheng Lu,meaning that fire and water in the kidney and coexist in a house;water and fire embracing each other,so that yin and yang in equilibrium;when water is sufficient,fire is hidden below,which warm viscera and lead a gasification.This is for health without disease.If the water in the kidney does not hold fire,there will be no root deficiency fire burning the upper edge,and"dragon fire"will appear.Therefore,the imbalance of fire and water in the kidney is the fundamental mechanism of the production of"dragon fire".This article takes Yinhuo Decoction as the object,based on the understanding of the pathogenesis of fire that does not re-turn to its original source.The author analyzes the combination of prescriptions and indications of the decoction from the perspec-tive of"kidney is the organ of fire and water",and analyzes the characteristics of the disease and syndrome.believes that Yinhuo Decoction is the representative prescription of the method of returning fire to its source,which can greatly replenish the kidney water and fire,and achieve the function of returning fire to its source.
