What is the formula for dispensing Chinese medicines

There is no formula for Chinese medicine compounding. Chinese medicine emphasizes on evidence-based treatment, and Chinese medicine compounding is to combine two or more medicines together according to the needs of the condition and different characteristics of the medicines, and apply them together according to certain principles. The purpose of compounding is to harmonize the partiality of drugs, adapt to complex conditions, enhance the efficacy of drugs, reduce toxic side effects, and make the use of drugs safer, more effective and reasonable. Therefore, there is no formula for Chinese medicine compounding.

It is important to note that when combining Chinese medicines, attention should be given to the fact that the medicines are mutually exclusive and opposite to each other. The term "opposite" refers to the fact that if two Chinese medicines are combined, one medicine may weaken the efficacy of the other. The term "opposite" means that if two Chinese medicines are used together, they may produce drastic side effects. The opposite of each other is a contraindication that must be observed in clinical use of medicines.

There is no formula for Chinese medicine dispensing, but there are medicine pairs for these pairs. There are principles in the compounding. These pairs can solve many problems. First solves the problem of the difficulty of technical defense. Secondly, it rejects the problem of explaining the interrelationship between medicine and medicine. Of course it has also been made into a jingle by many doctors. Ephedra without cinnamon sticks does not sweat

Rhubarb cannot be eliminated without busyness, and epiphyllum cannot be warmed without dry ginger.

Herbs are paired to help each other. There are eighteen contraindications and nineteen contraindications. There are pregnancy contraindications. Chinese medicines talk about the ruler, ministers, auxiliaries and envoys. There are a few flavors of the king's medicine (main), many flavors of the minister's medicine (auxiliary), countless flavors of the supporting medicine (preparation), and a few more flavors of the enabling medicine (priming).

Chinese herbal medicines are not discussed in terms of formulas; Chinese medicines are dispensed in terms of disease diagnosis and treatment.

I illustrate the disease today as a criminal hiding in a room with several doors and windows. The criminal is inside, and the policeman who catches the criminal is the king's medicine. The one who blocks another door is the minister's medicine, the one who guards the windows is the supporting medicine, and the one who catches the criminal, binds him up, and sends him to the designated place is the making medicine, the so-called primer. That's pretty much it. It's not hard to understand.

When there are people with serious heart disease, is not good to adjust well. For example, some people do not eat, how can not eat, this time the doctor will prescribe, appetizing spleen and stomach medicine. I gave a person a prescription, expensive to the sky. This patient can't eat well, mainly because he wants to buy a house. The medicine did not work, so I wrote in the prescription to buy a house!

Chinese medicine said there is no formula also has a formula, he has their principles, the principle is to identify the evidence, such as the patient's obvious evidence of deficiency, and you think it is a real evidence and go driving this is against the principle. Chinese medicine is ever-changing, not rigid, the same person, the disease, not the same prescription, such as in the amount of more than one gram less than one gram are related to the condition. Some people can't even stick to appendicitis, while others have no problem eating a hundred grams of it.

Chinese medicine dispensing has rules in the classics of medicine and can be said to be formulaic. It is summarized as the deficiency is supplemented, the real is diarrhea, the son can make the mother real, the mother can make the son weak. The tonic and diarrhea medication here is not the generalized tonic and diarrhea that you usually see, but the five organs and five elements with five flavors to tonic and diarrhea, indeed, can be formulated, but the clinical use of medication will depend on each person's enlightenment and skill.

There are no formulas to speak of in Chinese medicine compounding, just different ways and methods of compounding. First the main, then the secondary and then the combination and harmonization, the text is interpreted as the ruler, the minister and the enabler. There are ancient formulas, scripture formulas, and current formulas. Look at the level of the physician to that level. So there is no standard and accurate parameters. Can only be a generalization.

I really can't imagine that there is a formula for Chinese medicine compounding. It looks like this master than Shennong, than Li Shizhen's contribution is greater. It is recommended to evaluate the academician. What do you think?
