Wen jing tang4/4/2023 ![]() This causes qi deficiency and dampness accumulation leading to a stomach/spleen disharmony, which causes the stomach qi to flush upward as it loses its normal qi flow. Injury to the stomach/spleen function by cold undermines the qi and the transformative and transportative process. Because of this they are generally, but not always, very cold in nature.Ī main site of injury, therefore, is the middle jiao. What they have in common from the point of view of Chinese medicine is that they are designed to treat toxins and toxic heat or fire-related pathogenic processes in the body. Some are alkylating agents, others are antibiotics, others are antimetabolites, and so on. Chemotherapeutic agents have varying mechanisms of action. Some regimens are more problematic than others, especially those that are based in platinol-derived substances like cisplatin and carboplatin. ![]() Many epigastric and abdominal symptoms arise from middle jiao injury caused by chemotherapeutic regimens. Tai Lahans L.AC., M.TCM, M.Ed., in Integrating Conventional and Chinese Medicine in Cancer Care, 2007 CHINESE MEDICINE: 7 ST 36 and BL 20 tonify the Spleen and strengthen Middle Qi. BL 17 and SP 10 stimulate the circulation of Blood and remove Blood stasis. DU 4 and KID 3 warm and nourish the Kidney to scatter Cold. The combination of these points regulates both the Ren Mai and Chong Mai. KID 13 is the Meeting point of the Kidney channel and the Chong Mai. Use the points REN 6, KID 13, SP 6, DU 4, KID 3, BL 17, SP 10, BL 20, ST 36 with moxibustion and reinforcing manipulation. Rhizoma Zingiberis ( Sheng Jiang) warms, stimulates the Stomach to improve digestion and absorption, and harmonizes the other medicinals. Rhizoma Pinelliae ( Ban Xia) disperses masses in the body and assists in removing Blood stasis. Radix Ginseng ( Ren Shen) and Radix Glycyrrhizae ( Gan Cao) tonify Qi and strengthen the Spleen to promote the movement of Blood, because it is the Spleen's function to ‘hold’ the Blood inside the blood vessels. Colla Corii Asini ( E Jiao) and Radix Ophiopogonis ( Mai Men Dong) nourish the Yin and by doing so clear deficient Heat. Cortex Moutan Radicis ( Mu Dan Pi) also stimulates the circulation of blood and removes deficient Heat symptoms such as afternoon fever and hot palms and soles. Radix Angelicae Sinensis ( Dang Gui), Radix Ligustici Wallichii ( Chuan Xiong) and Radix Paeoniae Lactiflorae ( Shao Yao) regulate menstruation, stimulate the circulation of Blood and nourish Blood. Thus this formula treats the cause and the consequences by warming and supplementing both channels, by nourishing Blood and strengthening the weakened Qi.įructus Evodiae ( Wu Zhu Yu) and Ramulus Cinnamomi ( Gui Zhi) warm the channels, scatter Cold and activate stagnated Blood. This in turn leads to Blood stasis and Qi stagnation, and may occasionally manifest as deficient Heat (false Heat syndrome). ![]() This formula was designed especially for Blood stasis due to Cold and deficiency of the Ren Mai and Chong Mai, which have a close relationship to pregnancy ( Ren) and menstruation ( Chong), and may both lead to a Cold syndrome in the case of deficiency. Nourishes Blood and removes Blood stasis. It is an ingredient of the Blood stasis removing formula Ke Bao Li Su Tang (Guaranteed Resuscitation Decoction) as well as being used in modern formulas like the one in Case study 4.7 ‘Blood stasis due to loss of Blood’ (Blood and Yin deficiency) in Chapter 4. Its modern applications therefore comprise classical indications such as a variety of intestinal disorders (vomiting, diarrhoea, enteritis etc.) and oral ulcers, as well as new indications such as uterine bleeding, hypertension, irritable bowel disease and skin conditions such as eczema, neurodermatitis and dermatomycoses. Apart from that, it markedly lowers blood pressure, stimulates the CNS and uterine muscles and has an antiparasitic effect on ectoparasites such as dermatomycoses. All these correspond to the classical usage of the medicinal. Furthermore, it has antiulcerative and hepatoprotective actions and alleviates pain it has an antibiotic effect on bacteria, viruses and endoparasites (also: vibrio cholera, ascarides). Wu Zhu Yu slightly raises body temperature and promotes intestinal motility. Neeb, in Blood Stasis, 2007 New pharmacological research and new clinical usage ![]()
