Application of Chaihu based on the theory of regulating Qi and solving six depressions
JIA Yuejin's clinical practice has always been consistent with the academic philosophy of regulating Qi(气)and resolving six depression,ruling over various diseases with excellent results.More than ten traditional Chinese medicines are commonly used in clinical practice,including Chaihu(Radix Bupleuri),Xiangfu(Rhizoma Cyperi),Yujin(Radix Curcumae),Chuan-Lianzi(Fructus Toosendan),Xiakucao(Spica Prunellae),Jiangcan(Bombyx Batryticatus),Chantui(Periostracum Cicadae),Niuxi(Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae),Zhishi(Fructus Aurantii Immaturus),and stir fried Laifuzi(Semen Raphani),to regulate the ascending or descending movement of Qi,relieve the six stagnation,and govern various diseases with excellent effects.Beginners are often constrained by the classification method and definition of Chaihu in the textbook of Traditional Chinese Medicine,believing that Chaihu is a type of antipyretic and antipyretic drug that can soothe the liver,promote Qi circulation,elevate Yang(阳)and induce depression,resulting in a serious reduction in the scope of clinical application of Chaihu.Teacher JIA is good at using Chaihu to relieve Qi depression,food depression,water depression,essence depression,blood depression,and fire depression,as well as to relieve pivot mechanism,elevate Yangqi(阳气),regulate menstruation,promote pregnancy,relieve external heat,and expand its scope of use.And it is emphasized that the dose-response relationship of Chaihu is very clear,and the dosage of Chaihu varies depending on the clinical efficacy.The key to reducing fever with Chaihu is to use it in a large amount,usually at least 20 g.It is recommended to use it to elevate Yangqi in small amounts,usually around 3 g,and when relieving Qi stagnation,it is recommended to use around 10 g.At the same time,when using Chaihu,attention should be paid to its adaptation range,as its lifting power is too strong,which can lead to increased Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity,resulting in tinnitus or deafness,irritability,dizziness,etc..Generally,the use of Chaihu is based on the fact that the tongue is not red or crimson,the tongue coating is white and smooth but not dry,and the left ulnar pulse is deep and strong,or the left ulnar pulse is smooth,thick and strong.
