Why do doctors rarely use scripture to treat illnesses these days?
As long as it can cure the disease, no matter what his scripture prescription prescription time prescription ancestral secret formula. Zhongjing typhoid formula is called scripture, the evidence when the use of the effect of the rafter, so it is known as the classic formula, is the foundation of Chinese medicine learning prescription, although now say typhoid formula can also be used for miscellaneous diseases, but also the later generations of more than 1,800 years of new use of the results, but the scripture is still limited, the available choice of medicine taste limitations, the treatment of the type of selection of the limitations of the formula, such as spleen and stomach disease, such as warm disease, so the later generations of complementary development of the theory of the spleen and stomach, Therefore, the later generations supplemented and developed the classics such as the Treatise on Spleen and Stomach and the Article on Warm Diseases. Therefore, we should not only learn the scriptures and use them well, but also learn the formula of the later generations, which can cure the disease in one word, and how to use it in a good way.

What goes around comes around.
There are several reasons why scripture is used less.
First, it is difficult to refine the prescription. The prescription is refined and simple, but the requirements for doctors are very high. First of all, we must be familiar with the classics, whether it is Huang Di Nei Jing in human physiology and pathology or the unity of mankind in the way of health need to have a certain understanding of the typhoid Jin Gui at least the provisions must be clear, the six meridians to identify clear ideas, specimens to see the basic familiarity with the theory of qi and chemistry. At least to do the formula corresponding to the evidence in order to see the efficacy of the treatment. If the basic skills are not good, the selection of the six meridians is not clear, through the internal organs is not clear, hot and cold confusion, real disorder, not only ineffective, and even harmful.
Secondly, most of the drugs selected for prescription are inexpensive; most of the formulas are concise and have little medicinal flavor; and the course of treatment is short at the time when the drugs are properly administered. In this way, the charges are low, not in line with the requirements of the current development of the commercial society, the industrial chain is not rich enough, the profit is not rich enough, no matter whether the authorities or operators are not satisfied, and even the doctors can not rely on this to support their families, and even some of the people feel that the herbs are so common and worthless, so it is difficult to trust.
Third, looking at the absence of Western medical science. Too simple and rustic, no expensive high-end upmarket equipment backing, not high enough.
So, you've got to turn over the soil for scripture to become popular!
So and so.
The patient's diseased body is infected in the body, with external and internal homozygous disease genes that lead to a variety of diseases, and with the development of history, the cause of the disease is also entering the human body with the environment.
The prescription in different causes of disease, according to the person, so that the disease excluded from the body, so the prescription is necessary for doctors to learn the basis of the same nowadays causes of disease mastery of modern medicine, in order to their own in practice to master the reality of the medicine, so seldom use the prescription to smelting, symptomatic medicine, to solve the disease of the body virus. In short, the prescription is the study of the premise.

By scriptures, I probably mean mainly the formulas in the Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases, most of which have one thing in common: fewer medicinal flavors and higher doses. Many of the medicines are several or even dozens of times beyond the dosage prescribed in the pharmacopoeia. Nowadays, if a doctor follows the dose of the original prescription, the efficacy may be good, but the risk is so great that he usually dares not. If in accordance with the original prescription but the dose is reduced to the current customary dose of drugs, high security, even if the problem is also considered to be in accordance with the requirements of the Pharmacopoeia reasonable use of medicines, there is a law to comply with, and not get into too much trouble, but the efficacy is not good. This has led to the actual use of the prescription is very little. Now the solution to the problem of insufficient medication is to use more of the same kind of medicine with a few flavors, so that the amount of single flavor of medicine is not large, you can avoid the risk, the total amount of medicine is not small, you can ensure the efficacy of the medicine.
[Why do doctors rarely use scripture nowadays?]
There are many different ways of saying what a meridian formula is in Chinese medicine.
- Firstly, it refers to the eleven Confucian prescriptions recorded in the category of "Han Shu - Yi Wen Zhi", including the prescriptions recorded in the eleven writings of "Confucian prescriptions" before the Han Dynasty.
- Secondly, it refers to the pre-Tang Dynasty, including the "empirical prescriptions" in Tang Dynasty medical writings. For example, Hua Tuo, a famous physician of the Han Dynasty, compiled the Hua Tuo Divine Prescription, which was compiled by Sun Simiao; and the prescriptions in the Biji Qianjin Yaofang and Qianjin Yifang, which were written by Sun Simiao, a physician of the Tang Dynasty.
- Thirdly, it refers to the formulas recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and the Essentials of the Golden Chamber.
There are only 13 soup formulas in the Nei Jing.
The Treatise on Typhoid Fever and the Essentials of the Golden Chamber, on the other hand, mainly deal with the treatment of soup formulas, containing a total of 377 formulas.
- Fourth, it refers specifically to the 377 first prescriptions in the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and the Essentials of the Golden Chamber. The scriptural formulas currently recognized in Chinese medicine are mainly those in the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and the Essentials of the Golden Chamber.
The formula of "Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" is carefully organized, reasonably proportioned, and the medicine is simple and specialized, so it is a famous formula that can be used as a teacher's method for thousands of years.
Fifth, in addition to the formulae of the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and the Golden Chamber Essentials, the scriptural formulae should also include the formulae in the Xiao Ping Fang and the Sham Shi Fang.
Xiao Ping Fang", also known as "Jing Fang Xiao Ping", twelve volumes, was compiled by Chen Yan Zhi, a medical doctor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The original book anonymous, anonymous preserved in the Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao's "Thousand gold to be square", "Thousand gold wing square", Tang Dynasty physician Wang To's "Wai Tai Secret Essentials" and the Japanese Danbo Kang Rai's "medical heart square".
Ming Dynasty physician Cheng Wuji said, "Since ancient times, it is difficult to evaluate all kinds of prescriptions, only Zhongjing's prescription is the ancestor of the most medical prescriptions". Zhongjing's formula is known as "the ancestor of medical prescription", later generations of doctors praised "Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" as "the book of the living", Zhongjing was honored as "medical saint". Such as Huang Fu Quiet said Zhongjing's formula "with more experience", Sun Simiao said: "Jiangnan teachers secret Zhongjing's important formula is not passed on", this is not called "prescription", the meaning of the depth of Zhongjing's formula is very important. This shows that Zhongjing's medical skill was very important. This shows that Zhongjing's medical skill and the effectiveness of his prescription caused the world's doctors to attach great importance to and cherish it. It can be seen that the medical masterpieces written by Zhongjing were highly practical, scientific, and highly effective, and after thousands of years of practical verification, their value was everlasting.
Scripture is a simple formula with concise medication
The composition of the formula is concise and simple, with appropriate matching, and the medicine is less effective.
Scripture has excellent potency
Scripture in the history of Chinese medicine, can be called a famous formula, its formula small effect macro, both a party of multi-purpose can, but also a single party dedicated to the work.
Judging from the current situation, scripture has not yet occupied the mainstream of the Chinese medicine sector for the following reasons:
- First, scriptures are so cheap that doctors can't make money prescribing them, so they don't use them;
- Secondly, many people do not understand the theory of the prescription, some think that the ancient prescription can not cure today's disease, that the prescription is corresponding to the symptoms of the treatment, contrary to the principle of diagnosis and treatment, and then despise the prescription;
- Thirdly, there is a scarcity of resources for teaching scripture, there are few clinical scripture practitioners, there is no teaching of scripture in Chinese medicine colleges and universities, and most of the students don't understand it, so they fade away from scripture;
- Fourthly, the prescription did not attract the attention of the government, and it was extremely difficult to popularize and promote the prescription, so the prescription sank into obscurity among the people and was left to fend for itself.
In recent years, because of the efficacy of doctors at all levels and the people, Chinese medicine enthusiasts more and more sought after, like chasing after the star, the star is "Zhang Zhongjing", our five thousand years of civilization of the Chinese nation, inherited for thousands of years, is because of Chinese medicine has the efficacy of treatment. But in the long run, the future of the prescription is bright. The reason is:
- First, the scriptures are safe, effective, inexpensive and in line with our national conditions;
- Secondly, the scriptures are standardized, reproducible, sustainable, and most likely to go global, which is an important contribution of the Chinese nation to human civilization and the proudest element of Chinese medicine;
- Thirdly, although the school of scripture is silent folk, but the remnants have not been extinguished, as long as the government attaches importance to social concern, will rapidly develop and grow!
Learning Chinese medicine is difficult, learning Chinese medicine is bitter, and learning Chinese medicine on one's own is even more difficult, this is the truth. However, we cannot choose to give up because of the difficulty. Medicine is sacred and we have a mission to carry out, and Zhang Zhongjing is the most outstanding among them, and the system of prescription medicine established by him through the Treatise on Typhoid and Cold Miscellaneous Diseases is the most scientific and of course, the most practical one. Over the past thousands of years, many medical practitioners have started from this, played from this, and have become great doctors from this. This is an important fact in the history of Chinese medicine. However, the original text of the Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases is difficult to read for beginners, and this difficulty is in the abbreviation. The difficulty lies in the abbreviation. To overcome this difficulty, it does not lie in how to interpret the text, but in how to apply the scriptures.If you don't use the scriptures, how can you read "Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases"? It is only through continuous refining and application in clinical practice that one can appreciate the charm of the scriptural prescriptions, grasp the true secrets of Chinese medicine in treating illnesses, and appreciate the wonders of Chinese medicine!

It is because few people know, formal Chinese medicine, how many know typhoid, warm disease? Still not in accordance with the internal science of Chinese medicine by gourd drawing, effective no effect in the heart no bottom, wait until after the middle age to see more clinics, with the effective experience of scripture sweet, only to think of using the scripture back to re-learn.
It's not profitable for scrip mostly, I guess. New drugs are highly profitable. In addition, nowadays there are a lot of fake medicines, shoddy medicines raw materials. Doctors can prescribe dozens of medicines, profits dozens of times. Some of the prescription is just one medicine. The doctor can only make money on one medicine, not profitable.
Let me share my path to scripture, initially practicing medicine also using miscellaneous remedies. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Often, I also used the scripture formula, but it was limited to the correspondence between the formula and the evidence. Later on, through continuous learning and thinking, I used more and more scriptures. Now basically 99% of the use of prescription, the use of prescription is characterized by good efficacy and systematic thinking. This is exactly the characteristic of TCM, which is based on evidence-based treatment, holistic concept, and the cosmic concept of the correspondence between heaven and man. The overall concept is very important. As an example, why is it difficult to cure the stubborn stomach disease in clinic? We all know that there is a plankton evidence in the sun disease, half summer diarrhea heart soup evidence for the treatment of chronic gastric disease, the effect is very good. However, there are still some patients who cannot be cured. The reason is that this patient is combined with cervical spondylosis, which is a concomitant of solar disease, and plumping syndrome, which is a mixture of cold and heat. Cervical spondylosis combined with gastric disease is difficult to cure because the cervical spine compression of blood vessels, resulting in the stomach's blood supply is not good, so the stomach will be repeatedly sick and not cured then according to the cause of the disease, we can use Ge Ge Tang type of formula combined with the semi-xia laxative heart soup together to achieve very good results. This is the application of combining prescriptions for solar diseases. Of course, this is just a relatively simple example, some diseases are multi-systemic diseases. There are multiple disease syndromes, and the use of combined formulas is even more common.
Learning the classics of Chinese medicine requires time, perseverance and persistence, and cannot be mastered overnight. Nowadays, people are impatient, chasing after fame and fortune, and they are not willing to be indifferent to fame and fortune, to dive into it, and to be willing to be poor. Since there is no mastery, there is no way to talk about the application. My biased opinion.
The prescription is the standard, no one is sick than the prescription. Sick people thousands of miscellaneous, evidence also thousands of variations, clinical Chinese medicine practitioners according to the severity of the disease, physical, climatic, environmental plus or minus changes, precise use of drugs (medicine must be real) in order to receive the effect.
