[Predecessors’ explanation of medicine]
“Medicine Use Heart”: “Cinnamon twigs have light smells and flavors, so they can go up and disperse on the surface.”
Wang Haogu: “Someone asked, “Compendium of Materia Medica” says that cinnamon can stop restlessness and sweating, but Zhang Zhongjing said that sweating should be induced in treating typhoid fever, and he used cinnamon twig decoction in several places; he also said that if there is no sweating, cinnamon twig should not be taken, and if sweating, it should not be induced too much. If cinnamon twig is used, it will cause too much sweating. If there is a lot of sweating, cinnamon twig and licorice decoction should be used, which is also using cinnamon twig to stop sweating. One medicine has two uses, does it match the meaning of “Compendium of Materia Medica”? “Compendium of Materia Medica” says that cinnamon is pungent, sweet and hot, and can promote the flow of hundreds of medicines, dredge blood vessels, stop restlessness and sweating, which means that the blood is regulated and sweat comes out naturally. Zhongjing said that in case of solar stroke, the yin is weak and sweat comes out naturally, and the Wei is strong and the Ying is weak, so the patient has fever and sweats. He also said that the patient with solar disease has fever and sweats, which is The Ying is weak and the Wei is strong. When the Yin is deficient, the Yang must be combined, so cinnamon twigs are used to induce sweating. This is to regulate the Ying Qi, so that the Wei Qi will be harmonious, and the wind evil will have no place to stay, so it will sweat and resolve. It is not that cinnamon twigs can open the pores and induce sweating. People who sweat a lot use cinnamon twigs to regulate the Ying and Wei, so that the evil will come out through sweating and the sweating will stop. It is not that cinnamon twigs can close the sweat pores. Those who are ignorant do not know the meaning of sweating and stopping sweating. When they encounter colds without sweating, they also use cinnamon twigs, which is a big mistake. The word “sweating” in Guizhi Decoction should be recognized as “sweating”. Sweat will come out naturally, not like ephedra can open the pores and induce sweating. It should also be understood in reverse to treat virtual sweating. ”
“Compendium of Materia Medica” :” Zhongjing used cinnamon twigs to treat the exterior, not to replenish the exterior with cinnamon; if there is wind evil in the Wei, the patient will sweat spontaneously, and cinnamon twigs will expel the evil, and the Wei will be harmonious, then the sweating on the exterior will stop by itself, and it is not cinnamon twigs that can stop sweating and treat it. ”
“Compendium of Materia Medica”: “Ephedra permeates the skin and fur, so it is specialized in sweating and dispersing cold evil. The lung governs the skin and fur, and pungent moves to the lung. Cinnamon twigs reach the Ying and Wei, so they can relax the muscles and remove wind evil. The spleen governs the Ying, and the lung governs the Wei. Sweetness moves to the spleen, and pungentness moves to the lung. ”
“Compendium of Materia Medica”: “Cinnamon twigs are a medicine that dispels wind and cold, expels exterior evil, induces evil sweating, stops coughing, and removes wind pain between limbs. Although the smell is not far from pungent and hot, it belongs to the branches, only It can disperse the skin, fur, muscles and skin, and travel to the arms, knees and limbs. ”
“Compendium of Materia Medica”: “Although both cinnamon twigs and thin cinnamon are thin twigs, thin cinnamon, especially the thin skin, seems to be less effective in harmonizing the Ying. In addition, cinnamon is used to treat running pigs, and cinnamon twigs are also used because running pigs belong to kidney qi, and kidney qi comes out of the bladder, and cinnamon twigs enter the foot sun. “”Doctors in the world do not understand the essence of cinnamon twigs, which are solid and superficial, and seem to use this flavor to replenish the Wei and close the skin. If so, why don’t they use ginseng and astragalus? The wind of the four seasons is caused by the qi of the four seasons. The cold wind in winter hurts the Wei, and the Wei is affected by the cold wind, so it does not harmonize with the Ying qi, so sweating occurs. Only cinnamon twigs are pungent and sweet, which can disperse the cold wind on the surface of the muscles and clear the blood vessels, so they are combined with white peony, and the Wei is solidified to reach the Ying, so that they can harmonize and stop sweating. ”
“Ben Jing Feng Yuan”: “Ephedra expel cold and penetrate the skin and fur, so it is specialized in sweating; cinnamon twig goes up and disperses the surface, penetrates the Ying and Wei, so it can relieve muscles. The common people think that cinnamon twig cannot be used for cold fever without sweating, but this is not true. Cinnamon twig is pungent and sweet and dispersing, which is yang. It is also an indispensable medicine for cold damage to Ying and blood. Ephedra decoction and Gegen decoction are not lacking in this. But cinnamon twig decoction cannot be used because it contains peony, which is sour and cold and astringent to the surface. ”
“Changsha Yao Jie”: “Cinnamon twig enters the liver and circulates blood, runs through the meridians and reaches the Rong and Yu. It is good at relieving wind evil and is the best at regulating wood energy. It raises the collapse of clear yang, lowers the rush of turbid yin, relaxes the acute contraction of tendons and veins, and relieves the obstruction of joints. It enters the liver and gallbladder and disperses the suppression, greatly stops pain, dredges the meridians and relieves numbness, and even removes dampness and cold. It can stop the running pig and calm palpitations. ”
“Ben Jing Shu Zheng”: “All medicines must be studied for their nature and function. Cinnamon twigs can benefit joints, warm meridians and dredge blood vessels. This is its nature. “Su Wen·Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun” says that thick taste leads to diarrhea, thick qi leads to fever, pungent to disperse knots, sweet to replenish deficiency. Therefore, it can harmonize the pores, descend qi to disperse adverse reactions, stop pain and relieve restlessness. This is its function. There are six ways to use it: harmonizing the circulation, promoting yang, promoting diuresis, descending qi, removing blood stasis, and tonifying the middle. Its greatest function and widest application are none other than Guizhi Decoction, and harmonizing the circulation is its first function. ”
Zhang Shouyi: “Cinnamon twigs are used lightly for 3-5 fen to 7-8 fen, and for heavy use for 1 qian to 1.5 qian. If the blood and blood are weak, and the yang of the body is also weak, and there is cold outside, use 1-2 fen and stir-fry with white peony. If the tongue is slippery and without coating, cinnamon and peony must be stir-fried together, and cinnamon twigs are removed. Only its qi is taken, and its taste is not eaten. Although this is a new method in Wuxia recently, it cannot be said that it has no profound meaning. Cinnamon twigs are the branches of cinnamon bark. They are tender and thin, fragrant and fragrant, light and rising, and pungent and warm. It can remove the wind and cold of the body and body, and treat headache caused by solar stroke. It can establish the yang qi of the central region and treat abdominal pain caused by spleen and stomach deficiency. It is suitable for unblocking the meridians and reaching the shoulders and arms. Warm and pungent can overcome water, so it can suppress and descend the kidney qi, settle the running pig, and relieve the numbness of the kidney. If the yang is weak and the urine is short, this is a good material for urination. However, if the dry cough and qi rise, the wrong use will cause blood overflow, or if the yin is deficient and the fluid is depleted, the wrong use will definitely make the disease worse. Its effect lies in the skin, but Zhongjing’s book removes the skin, which can understand the error of copying. Without the skin, it is wood, but in recent years, some people use the wood, which is not a hobby. ”
Cao Jiada: “Cold and dampness condense in the muscles, and the yang qi cannot reach the outside. Zhongshi established the recipe of Guizhi Decoction to support the spleen yang and relieve the stagnation of the nutrient. The sun collaterals are full of pores, and the cold is stagnant in the muscles. The sun collaterals are blocked. Without the yang qi to unclog them, the remaining fluid in the nutrient cannot be evaporated and sweat. The cinnamon twig is the original function of developing spleen yang. But if this is lost and not treated, the dampness will penetrate into the joints, and the disease will spread; or it will penetrate into the sun collaterals and cause pain, and you can’t know where it is when you press it, which is commonly known as cold and dampness flowing into the tendons. The stagnation involves the liver, and both symptoms are suitable for cinnamon twigs. “
