A brief analysis of the formulating rule of treating palpitation with the Zhigancao decoction based on six-meridian differentiation and five elements theories
The Yin(阴)and Yang(阳)theory and the five elements theory play an important role in traditional Chinese medicine.ZHANG Ji,based on inheriting the thoughts of his predecessors,combined medical theory with classical prescriptions and compiled them into Shanghan Zabing Lun(《伤寒杂病论》),which is divided into Shanghan Lun(《伤寒论》)and Jingui Yaolue((金匮要略》).He pioneered the differentiation of symptoms and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine,promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine,and had a profound impact on later generations.Even now,it still has great guiding significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.ZHANG Ji established the six-meridian syndrome differentiation with his unique insight,elaborated the Yin and Yang theory and the five elements theory,and revealed the law of disease transmission and change on this basis.The Zhigancao decoction(炙甘草汤)comes from Shanghan Lun written by ZHANG Ji.It is a prescription for the diseases of cold straight into Shaoyin meridian(少阴经)after mistaking treatment or lacking treatment when the cold in Taiyang meridian(太阳经).Taiyang meridian and Shaoyin meridian are classified into water and fire in the human body,respectively.When cold enters into water and fire,it can be turned into heat,or become more powerful cold and damage Yang.The Zhigancao decoction is made for the treatment of the former.In terms of the function of this prescription,Yang that supports the earth can eliminate cold water to make hyperactive fire have no source,and the water that supports gold can eliminate hyperactive gold.In this article,taking the Zhigancao decoction as the starting point,the formulating rule of the Zhigancao decoction in the treatment of palpitation is explored based on the five elements theory and six-meridian syndrome differentiation thought for more clinical reference.
