For folk remedies, I personally feel that there is a lot to learn from, usually from life experience and practice, passed down from generation to generation, the effect is remarkable, worthy of national attention included.

Thanks for the invitation!

The so-called biased prescriptions, mostly without the consent of the relevant departments on the market for sale, or are not orthodox prescriptions, the source of which is not known, and do not see the pharmacological records of successive generations, but only in the folklore. One of the characteristics of "folk remedies" is the uncertainty of their efficacy, which varies from person to person. The counterparts of folk remedies are scriptural and experimental remedies.

There are three basic elements in the composition of scriptures and prescriptions: first, to improve the therapeutic effect of single-flavored drugs through formulation. The second is to change some of the effects of prescribed drugs through rational formulation. The third is to eliminate the toxicity, harshness, potency and other side effects of prescription drugs. Although there is a therapeutic effect of partial prescriptions and single prescriptions, they lack the basic composition principle of prescription, which is the lack of partial prescriptions and single prescriptions in the treatment of diseases. Therefore, there is often a single or partiality in the treatment of diseases by partial remedies and single prescriptions, but nowadays there are often many people who have too much trust in the therapeutic effect of partial remedies and single prescriptions, resulting in insufficient understanding of the scope of the main treatment of partial remedies and single prescriptions, so that the use of partial remedies and single prescriptions for the treatment of diseases has the possibility of both healing and failing.

In order to improve the application of the success rate of the prescription, a single formula to avoid the wrong application, must pay attention to the following aspects: First, must be a prescription, a single formula in the performance of the drugs have a certain understanding and knowledge, check the prescription, a single formula with the drug is in line with their own conditions, such as dry ginger and pepper treatment of gastric pain, as gastric pain both cold and hot evidence, the effect of the cold evidence of the treatment, while the hot evidence is absolutely can not be applied. Second, it must be examined whether the prescription, single prescription with toxic drugs, if so, it is best to apply under the guidance of a doctor to prevent drug poisoning. Third, the dose of medicine should be carefully examined, if the dose of medicine is large, it must be used with caution. Fourth, do not think that can be taken with or without disease, or that the prescription, single prescription has health effects and long-term use.

The correct use of partial remedies and single remedies requires full knowledge of both medicinal properties and scientific understanding of lesion properties. Only by combining the two organically can therapeutic effects be achieved.

I hope the above answer can help you.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

Chinese medicine prescription has a lot of indeed is the absolute formula, from the unintentional outward, unless there is no descendant, only to extinction. Unique business is good to do, grandchildren do not pay for food and clothing, so can be inherited from generation to generation. Unique formula, unique skill is wonderful, lies in the inheritance, even if there is no culture, business is still bursting.

Traditional Chinese medicine does not have partial prescriptions, but rather they have used the medicines that they think are good called scriptures, and there are odd and even prescriptions. There are odd and even remedies. Folk Chinese medicine practitioners have partial remedies, and there are also partial remedies among the common people. So the partial prescription is a folk prescription, is a thousand years of ancestors in the fight against diseases in bits and pieces to explore the accumulation of partial prescriptions, in the folk word of mouth with each other. So I also hope that nowadays, no matter whether they are officials, in the countryside or in the city, low-income people or the rich, good recipes are worth treasuring, spreading them among each other, and doing good deeds and virtues.

Folk Chinese medicine practitioners generally rely on family traditions, master and apprentice heritage and self-taught, almost all have their own a few or dozens of recipes and skills, they are some of the hospitals can not cure the disease, based on their own unique skills and simple, economical and practical remedies to cure the disease. However, they are in a very difficult situation to cure the sick and save lives. For example, a "qualification system for Chinese medicine practitioners" defines them as practicing medicine illegally and using medicine illegally. Nevertheless, they have been using their own remote prescription to save the lives of many people in the private sector without words, relieving the pain of many people, and saving a lot of money for some poor people at the same time.

The characteristics of the prescription is a party to cure a disease, or a flavor of medicine can cure the disease cured. For example, urination is not generic a few willow leaves decoction soup to take, that is too late to go to the toilet, wet pants. A person has been two or three years did not cure cough, folk doctors behind a flavor of umeboshi to him but cured, this is what they do not pass on to the public and conservative called the secret recipe. When you cough for a few days, your mother stew a loquat sugar water for you to drink on the cough, and your neighbor and you have the same cough, you and pass him also stop good, this is also called a prescription, so the prescription is a one-way learning. Although the blind riding a blind horse, not the orthodox prescription, but in the use of prescription cured some of the difficult cases, but also countless examples. The other thing that gives people a deep impression is `random', the biggest feature of the prescription is that most of them are commonly used in front of the eyes, and they can be used anywhere as medicines. Some of them do not cost a penny and are as effective as God. Some of them are unique, relatives and friends, acquaintances, etc. are the good prescription transmitted to each other, so that many of the prescription has become today's Chinese medicine practitioners are also used in the prescription, the secret formula.

Unfortunately, like today's China, more than 90% of the national disease but the first choice is Western medicine, which can be imagined, folk remedies currently in the ordinary people credible space is not large. Western medicine in surgery is unrivaled, for acute diseases, accidental injuries better than Chinese medicine. But in internal medicine, especially chronic diseases really can not. More and more patients are suffering from various side effects brought by Western medicine, especially the chronic diseases of the middle-aged and elderly people suffering from years of chronic diseases and the elderly people taking Western medicine and injury to the stomach, intestines, lungs, kidneys, liver, spleen and other organs, difficult to cure. And small Japan is also because of the deep understanding of Western medicine to a large number of chronic diseases, allergic diseases and a large number of elderly disease helpless, while Chinese medicine often have unexpected results. This small Japan is forced to put our Chinese medicine to park. In small Japan, more than 90% of national patients preferred is Chinese medicine. Its Chinese medicine enterprises in the world market as high as 90% of the Chinese medicine market in the first, China only accounted for 3%. Plus now a lot of large and medium-sized cities in the Chinese medicine hospital, rural folk Chinese medicine health center are thought to Chinese medicine is not scientific, patients door to door very little. Therefore, the prescription to be accepted by the public, first of all, Chinese medicine can have more people recognized is the key! Otherwise, your prescription again good and useful, there is no place for it, the prescription again excellent can use the least amount of money to cure the disease, ask the people still less.

It's time to wake up, for the sake of our own health, seek truth from facts, and develop our own Chinese medicine based on clinical results!

Therefore, only when we look forward to the day when Chinese medicine will prosper will folk remedies have a chance to show their skills, and they are mutually reinforcing.

Lastly, thanks to Goku-senpai for the invite! Please correct me if I'm wrong.

As a surgeon and a doctor who has been working in western medicine for more than 30 years, I believe that Chinese medicine, as a bright heritage of thousands of years of Chinese civilization, deserves respect, support and encouragement, and that Chinese medicine has some advantages in treating the future diseases and chronic diseases that cannot be compared with western medicine; for Chinese medicine prescriptions, I personally feel that we should be selective, and I don't rule out the possibility that there are some folk prescriptions that have a very good therapeutic effect, although they are not recognized by the relevant institutions. They have not been recognized by the relevant institutions; but for some under the banner of Chinese medicine, exaggerating the effect of prescription and even fraud, we should be highly vigilant, keep our eyes peeled, so as not to be deceived.

I. Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Valuable Legacy of Thousands of Years

Chinese medicine has been developed, precipitated, accumulated and passed on for thousands of years. In the long course of history, Chinese medicine has played a great role in safeguarding the health of the people and relieving the sick. In particular, before there was Western medicine, Chinese medicine, as one of the few or the only ways and means of saving lives and helping the sick, had an unquestionable status and effect.

From Shennong to Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao and other great masters of Chinese medicine, and from the Compendium of Materia Medica to the Golden Pill Prescription and the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and other monumental works, Chinese medicine has summed up and consolidated the valuable experience of generations, which is the wealth of the country and the wealth of human civilization.

In modern society, although Western medicine is developing at a high speed, the status and role of Chinese medicine should not be abandoned and forgotten, especially as the State has been vigorously encouraging and supporting the development of the cause of Chinese medicine, and has provided safeguards for the development of the cause of Chinese medicine by way of legislation in the form of the Chinese Medicine Law.

Second, the Chinese medicine prescription: is relative to the prescription, check the prescription

As I mentioned in a previous Q&A: the so-called partial remedies are the opposite of TCM prescriptions and classical remedies.

It refers to a folk remedy that is not approved by the national health department, food and drug administration department, etc., and is more empirically prepared, produced and processed on its own without drug approval.

There are several labels for biased prescriptions: unapproved, unapproved, folk, and not rigorously clinically tested.

Compared to the traditional and classic remedies of Chinese medicine, partial remedies are not documented in any Chinese medicine texts and are often passed down through person-to-person and family reach.

III. Chinese medicine as understood by a Western doctor

As a physician, I understand the concept of bias as such.

1. It is an empirical treatment

Although the practitioner is not a doctor and does not have a license to practice, but through the accumulation of experience or family teaching, there is a certain foundation of traditional Chinese medicine; although not a doctor as a profession, but the people around the more recognized in the long "treatment" (of course, can not be called a real treatment) in the relatively rich experience accumulated.

2, there are scientific components and in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine

Although not approved, but the prescription has corresponding or more scientific components. For example, Chinese medicine, although this prescription comes from the folk, but the prescription is reasonable and more scientific and rigorous, although it is not prescription and medicine, and not approved and recognized by the relevant departments, but it has a certain therapeutic effect.

So, a partial cure for a great disease, this partial cure must have a few cores:

1, in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, not blindly dispensing drugs, not indiscriminate matching;

2, there are more scientific pharmacological properties, although this prescription did not take the argument;

3. There are certain cases of treatment, that is, the cases are not singular, much less coincidental;

Fourth, the attitude we should hold towards Chinese medicine prescriptions

1, respect for domestic Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, an objective view, not taboo, not insulting;

2. Rationally look at the direct difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and believe in the good effects of Chinese medicine on chronic diseases and other areas;

3. Take a cautious view of biased prescriptions and don't believe in exaggerated propaganda;

4. Supporting the collection and organization of folk remedies;

5. We are firmly opposed to unscrupulous organizations and people practicing fraud under the banner of Chinese medicine or Chinese medicine prescriptions.

In conclusion, we should treat Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine prescriptions rationally; we should not only see the effects of Chinese medicine on the treatment of chronic diseases and chronic illnesses, but also keep our eyes peeled and be alert to the fact that there are some unscrupulous organizations that are trying to fool people under the name of famous Chinese medicine practitioners. With the strong support of the State, the cause of Chinese medicine will certainly be able to play its due and greater role.

Although the Chinese medicine's partial prescription is not omnipotent, it can also play a role that Western medicine can not play. Don't look at Chinese medicine's partial prescriptions too cheaply, once upon a time the sky also had its flickering hours, it was a lost seed once upon a time the earth also had its flowers .......

About the prescription, folk a lot, is not entirely the doctor's long, folk doctors according to the symptoms of the choice, (that money must be expensive, and in order to confidentiality, often crushed or fresh medicine research mix, so as not to leak). In fact, the people also have a lot of prescriptions, they see some of the disease hospitals can not cure, out of sympathy, each other, that is the over-testing, some try to the right, some did not right, anyway, no big deal. For example, there is a young woman in my hometown, more than 20 years old, asthma and cough, small hospitals, big hospitals can not be cured. more than 30 years old is more serious, walk a few steps to rest. Later, any which say a prescription to try, half a year past, unknowingly good. Not only is he like a normal person, but he also smokes leafy cigarettes. Local doctors and district hospital doctors in order to improve the level of medical care, visit this person (because her husband is the leadership of the wheeled transport company, his wife has been sick for a long time doctors are also familiar with), with no results, because she ate too many prescriptions, they do not know which one is cured. So, there is a disease, there must be a party (or medicine), just the doctor did not find it.

My family's personal experience, back in Neijiang, Neijiang, Neijiang people month fever and blood collapse, went to town to find the Li surname (barefoot doctor) opened a small party flavored medicine, look at the list is the treatment of colds and so on (only 20 cents) Li Ding paid to be an heirloom. Take back once to see the spirit, the next day, people are as good as the first regular people. (In fact, five flavors, another flavor from the person).

Hello, no matter what the prescription can cure the disease, but there is a most important point no matter what Chinese medicine or Western medicine with what prescription and the condition must be symptomatic. This is the main thing, if the prescription and the disease is not symptomatic, in the good medicine, or elixir is not effective. Chinese medicine says, change the symptoms of both treatment, the right medicine. This is the reason.

I'd like to see some of these remedies posted: verified or personally used or seen with my own eyes. Don't post advertisements that are not realistic.
