Chinese medicine says that there are thousands of prescriptions for thousands of people, so why do we need to look for ancient prescriptions? Doesn't the ancient formula correspond to one person?

Chinese medicine says that there are thousands of prescriptions for thousands of people, so why do we need to look for ancient prescriptions? Doesn't the ancient formula correspond to one person?

Ancient formulas do not correspond to a person, ancient formulas correspond to a disorder.

For example.

Fever with sweating - Gui Zhi Tang.

Fever, no sweating--Ma Huang Tang

Thousands of prescriptions for thousands of people is to determine the main symptom above, and then according to the secondary symptom of the flavor of the medicine to add or subtract, for example, two people are fever with sweat, but one person still has a cough, the other does not have a cough, so the coughing person in addition to give him a good Gui Zhi Tang, but also add the flavor of the medicine to stop coughing, and the other person only need to prescribe the original formula of Gui Zhi Tang. This is the reason why there are thousands of prescriptions for thousands of people.

Chinese medicine according to the laws of nature to cure the disease, there are strict laws to follow, the so-called thousands of people thousands of prescription is not valid. There must be the same in these thousand people.

  • From the doctor's point of view, ancient prescriptions serve as hints and references as well as developing ideas. When there is a disease doctors do not have a clue, they will recall what they have memorized (memorization is the basic skill of traditional Chinese medicine), recall the relevant records and prescriptions, and perhaps find the corresponding prescription, and then combined with the reality of their own patients for the addition and subtraction, and sometimes do not need to add or subtract, direct use is also available.
  • Many of the old remedies work well and doctors have memorized them for ease of use.
  • The State seeks out and develops ancient formulas because many ancient formulas handed down through countless generations have proved to be safe and effective, and are suitable for development into proprietary Chinese medicines with a wider scope of application. For example, the Six-flavored Di Huang Pill.

Ancient formulas are universal and have to be adapted to the specific condition with the treatment in the ratio of measurements.

Chinese medicine is the highest level of dialectics, and the treatment of illnesses is based on the identification of evidence and thousands of prescriptions. However, Chinese medicine can treat different diseases with the same treatment or treat different diseases with the same treatment.

If there is an outbreak of epidemic plague and everyone has the same symptoms, it is too late for a thousand recipes to be used to combat the epidemic with a relatively effective formula.

That's what the cauldron medicines did in ancient times to combat the plague, and that's what happened with the new coronavirus pneumonia this time around, when that lung-cleansing and detoxifying soup had a 99.26% cure rate.

Learning classical prescriptions is not a cry for you to memorize, copy and use them. Rather, it is to learn the thinking and methods of ancient healers. Because it is not possible for everyone to get sick by following the classical prescriptions. Therefore, it is the most brilliant to recognize the evidence.

Classic prescriptions used well can cure the disease. Classic prescriptions used poorly can also kill.

Professor Hao Wanshan's Youku video "Lecture on Typhoid Fever" tells a true story: Before the liberation of China, a Chinese doctor prescribed Zhang Zhongjing's classic formula Da Qinglong Tang to his relative for the treatment of colds, and the doctor only prescribed one pair.

The doctor's relative took it and got much better, and the next day he made a fool of himself and took it upon himself to get his son to buy another pair. The pharmacy wouldn't sell it, saying that the prescription was for one pair and they didn't dare to sell two. The son then went to another house to buy a pair of Da Qing Long Tang, and the father ate it and sweated profusely and died of exhaustion.

Therefore, don't think that if you memorize the classic prescriptions, you become Zhang Zhongjing or Bianqi. Copying classic prescriptions to cure illnesses is to cut your feet to fit your shoes.

Chinese medicine is a living thing, rote memorization and rigid application of classic prescriptions may kill people. Learning and utilizing classical prescriptions is the way to go.

It is the identification of evidence that is the soul of Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine practitioners and Chinese medicine fans love to use the excuse of one person to one side and thousands of people to thousands of prescriptions to refuse to accept statistics.

Then, remind the Chinese medicine fans, according to the Chinese medicine "diagnosis and treatment", "one person, one party, thousands of people, thousands of prescriptions" principle, the so-called prescription, are useless.

When you go to a Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment, you must ask whether the prescription given to you is one that has worked before; if it is one that has cured someone before, you must not ask for it, and the kind that has never cured anyone before is the best choice.

Some Chinese medicine practitioners and Chinese medicine practitioners say that these prescriptions are only a foundation, a "framework", and the actual application should be based on the disease to add or subtract, which is the so-called "symptomatic".

So here's the question: does your addition or subtraction count as an old remedy that originally cured someone, or does it count as a new remedy that never cured anyone?

Whether it is as a "framework" of the confirmation of the basic formula, or after the addition or subtraction of the so-called symptomatic, in fact, need to use statistics, otherwise, how do Chinese medicine practitioners dare to say that this framework, more suitable than other frameworks for the treatment of this kind of disease, and so after the addition or subtraction of more suitable for the treatment of this kind of "symptomatic "?

The argument that one person is one party and a thousand people are one thousand prescriptions is actually denying the root of Chinese medicine, which is "Chinese medicine is a summary of experience", as claimed by Chinese medicine practitioners themselves.

This is a very good question! Thousands of people thousands of prescription lies in the identification, looking for ancient prescription lies in the citation, the ancient prescription today is not the original, but according to the condition of the identification of addition and subtraction. They are summarized as follows.

Ancient formulas are not derived by one person, but summarized by thousands

First of all, an ancient Chinese medical prescription is never a prescription recorded by an ancient healer, through the successful treatment of a particular patient.

On the contrary, ancient Chinese medicine formulas have been modified, adjusted and perfected from thousands of treatment practices.

For example, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases of Typhoid", which is a classic of Chinese medicine written by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing through reading a lot of books and collecting a lot of recipes, and condensing his life's work, integrating ancient Chinese medicine formulas.

The use of ancient formulas today is not the same, but to recognize the evidence and add or subtract

Secondly, even if the ancient formula is used today, it is not copied and copied, the original seal is not, unchanged, but according to the condition of the diagnosis plus and minus.

Chinese medicine has always emphasized the identification of evidence and treatment, the so-called thousands of people thousands of prescriptions, the soul of which lies in the identification of evidence due to the disease, the identification of evidence due to the situation, without identification, where is the one person one strategy, thousands of people thousands of prescriptions?

Therefore, even if the ancient formula is used today, it is by no means an unchanged copy of the original, not to mention the unchanging convention; on the contrary, the use of the ancient formula today is based on the condition of the diagnosis, after the addition and subtraction of the treatment.

Thousands of people and thousands of formulas are based on identification, and the search for ancient formulas is based on citation.

So, why do today's medical practitioners struggle to find ancient formulas when they have to be used variably even today?

Because thousands of people and thousands of prescriptions lie in the identification of Chinese medicine, and the search for ancient prescriptions lies in the citation of evidence, and the two are dialectically united.

To cite a case is to find a case, and to find a case is best to find a classic, and there are often many ancient formulas that are used to this day. Once you have found a classic formula, you can expect to achieve great success if you add or subtract to it on the basis of your condition.

The outstanding representative of traditional Chinese medicine in the fight against the Xinguang epidemic: "three medicines, three parties" is the most typical ancient formula used today.

The so-called "three medicines" refer to Jinhua Qinggan Granules, Haibijie Injection and Lung Detoxification Soup; while the so-called "three prescriptions" refer to Dampness and Toxin Formula and Lung Promotion and Toxin Formula, which are all derived from the ancient prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine with additions and subtractions, and are of definite efficacy in the treatment of patients with light-type and common-type neocoronaryngitis. They have definite curative effects in treating patients with mild and common forms of neocoronitis.

Summarize: people thousands of prescription lies in the identification of Chinese medicine, looking for ancient prescription lies in the citation of Chinese medicine; ancient prescription today is not the original, but according to the condition of the identification of addition and subtraction.
