Chapter 218: Modern Chinese Medicine VS Ming Dynasty Chinese Medicine (I)
The heat-clearing and positive qi dissipation that Li Si bought in the Relanza market had actually been developed a long time ago. It's just that the packaging was different then than it is now.
It was probably in July, after Dr. Zheng Desheng built the Chiji Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, the first few drugs developed were one of the first to clear heat and dissipate qi, which was only a civilian medicine at that time.
At the beginning, when Dr. Zheng Desheng came to the Chichi area to prepare for the construction of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, he was very busy.
He not only has to sort out the Chinese patent medicines and some valuable medicinal materials that he brought over, but also plant some seeds of Chinese medicinal materials that are difficult to obtain in this time and space.
Fortunately, there are quite a lot of technicians in the Chiji Agricultural Base who are still very cooperative, and they may believe in Chinese medicine more than Western medicine, and completely obey the arrangement of Dr. Zheng Desheng, so it is not a matter of effort to build the Chiji Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and it is normal to be tired and busy.
On the day of the official opening, Dr. Zheng Desheng found that except for the technicians of the Hantang Group who came to see and prescribe some cooling oil, none of the Ming farmers came—and Dr. Zheng Desheng had previously decided that this traditional Chinese medicine hospital was open to all staff. Treating the Ming people is perhaps the easiest and quickest way to understand the characteristics of diseases in this time and space.
Dr. Zheng Desheng's TCM hospital is located in the office area of the Chiji Agricultural Base, and the Hantang Group has opened a gate to the wall facing the street and painted it with lime and cement – it is as clean as the medical center in the city of Geranza.
Moreover, he also respected the customs of this time and space, and picked out a yin and yang flag, indicating that there was a Chinese medicine hall here.
It's no wonder that none of the Ming peasants came in. It's not that the Ming people don't dare to come here, and it's not uncommon to see Ming farmers passing by the door - but no one comes in.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, the new store opened, there was a period of acquaintance, which was normal - besides, he came here mainly to serve the Hantang Group.
So, he took the time to set up a processing factory for Chinese patent medicine, with no equipment, and only needed to hire a few Ming female laborers.
Although this Chinese patent medicine factory is temporarily at the workshop level, it can also produce the necessary products.
Dr. Zheng Desheng didn't even think about it, so he first processed Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.
The recipe of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was first seen in the Northern Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula". This book was originally called "Taiyi Bureau". During the reign of Emperor Huizong (1102-1106), the pharmacy formulated a preparation specification, called "Heyao Bureau". Later, after many corrections by medical officers, it was finally divided into five volumes, 21 doors, and 279 squares.
In the eighteenth year of Shaoxing (1148) after the southern crossing, the pharmacy was changed to "Taiping Huimin Bureau", and "Harmony Pharmacy Formula" was also changed to "Taiping Huimin Pharmacy Prescription".
At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty set up Huimin Fang in major cities across the country, which was a kind of medical insurance at that time, and the price of medicine was low, mainly for the convenience of the poor to seek medical treatment, and it was also responsible for sorting out the prescriptions in various places.
Of course, Dr. Cheng did not completely follow the ancient prescription, and he made some changes according to the actual situation in Taiwan. This change is based on the pharmacological analysis of Chinese herbal medicines by modern techniques.
Huoxiang, containing volatile oil, can promote gastric juice secretion, enhance appetite and digestive function, and has antispasmodic and antiseptic effects on the gastrointestinal tract, so it has the function of aromatic and stomach-invigorating, so it has become the main medicine of this prescription.
This volatile oil is actually Huoxinone, which also has inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, dysentery bacillus, hemolytic streptococcus A, and pneumococcus. The compound experiment that came to the world proved that this formula has a certain inhibitory effect on the reproduction of influenza virus in chicken embryos.
Therefore, Dr. Cheng Tak Sang is going to perform a simple processing of Huoxiang to increase the leaching amount of its volatile oil. Of course, he wouldn't use Huoxiang directly to dispense medicine like the ancients.
Platycodon, the saponins contained in it and the volatile oil contained in tangerine peel have a stimulating expectorant effect, while tangerine peel has a slight dilating effect on the trachea and bronchi and has the effect of removing stasis and relieving asthma. Banxia has a significant antitussive effect. Licorice is both expectorant and antitussive. The combination of various medicines can jointly achieve the effect of retracting and expelling phlegm, relieving cough and asthma.
Compared with the ancient formula, Dr. Zheng Desheng has increased the weight of magnolia. Magnolia bark has a wide range of antibacterial effects, its antibacterial components are relatively stable, and are not easy to be destroyed by heat, acid, alkali, etc.
As a result, Dr. Cheng Tak Sang redesigned a new formula for proprietary Chinese medicine appeared.
He selected 2250 grams of refined Huoxiang, 2250 grams of Angelica dahurica, 2250 grams of pot-bellied bark, 2250 grams of Poria cocos, 2250 grams of perilla leaves, 1500 grams of tangerine peel, 1500 grams of Atractylodes, 1500 grams of Magnolia officinalis, 1500 grams of Banxia (ginger), 1500 grams of bellflower, 750 grams of licorice, and 50~60 liters of 50% edible ethanol.
Wine is also used in ancient recipes, but their degree is far less than 50 degrees, which also limits the exertion of medicinal properties.
During the production, the Huoxiang and perilla leaves are broken, and the remaining medicine is powdered with an electric crusher, and then mixed with powder, sealed and impregnated for 72 hours, stirred 3~4 times a day, using the infiltration method of flow extract and extract, slowly infiltrating, collecting the liquid liquid, and adding 50% ethanol to mix well after the most powder, which is considered to be a successful manufacture.
The reason why Dr. Zheng Desheng must first make Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is very simple.
First of all, it is a common medicine for treating colds in summer, and various herbs are also easy to obtain.
So is it a panacea for colds? A technician asked curiously on the Internet.
Dr. Zheng Desheng replied that Huoxiang Zhengqi cold medicine is not a "panacea" for summer colds! Only when vomiting, diarrhea, fever and other symptoms occur at the same time can be taken symptomatically, if the above symptoms do not appear, no matter how much Huoxiang Zhengqi cold medicine is eaten, it will not be better.
If it is taken symptomatically, the symptoms will be relieved after 2-3 days, and the drug can be discontinued. If there is no symptom, such as only cough, nasal congestion and other symptoms, no matter how you take Huoxiang Zhengqi cold medicine, the effect will not be good.
Dr. Cheng also talked about a phenomenon that is his personal experience.
In that world, some patients took medication for the symptoms, but after the symptoms were relieved, they continued to take the medicine in order to consolidate the cure.
Dr. Cheng Tak Sang was adamantly opposed to this, explaining: "Many people think that traditional Chinese medicine such as Huoxiang Zhengqi has few side effects, and it doesn't matter if you eat more. In fact, when the symptoms are cured, taking medicine again will not exert its effect at all, and it will be harmful to the body. ”
He also wrote a little essay on the matter, but no one paid attention to him. In the world over there, this little paper didn't even go up to the newspaper.
But in the forum of Hantang Group, it has received countless praises from everyone. Everyone said that these are too useful, Chinese medicine, can not be ignored at any time-
Dr. Cheng Tak Sang has a great sense of accomplishment.
In the essay, Dr. Cheng also suggested: "In fact, when choosing cold medicine, you may wish to use sore throat as a reference. For colds with sore throat and yellow sputum and yellow sputum, you can choose cold medicines with the word "detoxification", such as Yinqiao antidote tablets. If the throat is not sore, the nasal discharge and phlegm are white, and you are afraid of cold, you can choose a cold medicine with the word "clear heat", such as cold and heat clearing powder. We have all these medicines with us, and in the near future we will be able to produce them ourselves.
It should also be noted that when taking Huoxiang Zhengqi cold medicine, it is best not to eat sweets, including fruits, drinks, etc. Because sweets have a dampness-generating effect, while Huoxiang Zhengqi cold medicine is a damp-relieving effect, the two effects cancel each other out, and the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced. ”
At that time, everyone praised it.
Secondly, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water made by combining modern Chinese herbal pharmacology techniques has other new effects.
The Huoxiang Zhengqi Water made by Hantang Group is also extremely effective in dermatological diseases.
Tinea capitis, tinea of the hands and feet, and nail fungus, modern Chinese medicine believes that ringworm and nail fungus are caused by dermatophyte infection, and Huoxiang, perilla, Angelica dahurica, and Platycodon have a strong inhibitory effect on a variety of pathogenic fungi respectively, so scrubbing with Huoxiang Zhengqi water has a good effect on the treatment of tinea capitis, ringworm of the hands and feet, and nail fungus.
There are also boils, which are generally divided into summer boils and multiple boils in traditional Chinese medicine, which are believed to be caused by internal depression and damp heat, blood heat or external wind, heat and heat. Applying Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is also effective.
Dr. Cheng Tak Sang even knew that it was also caused by staphylococcal infection. The perilla and other ingredients in his recipe have the effect of inhibiting staphylococcus, and the volatile oil of Huoxiang in the recipe can dissolve dampness, and Angelica dahurica publishes, dispels wind, and wins dampness, so it can disperse depression and dehumidify the treatment of boils and boils.
Vitiligo is believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be caused by the invasion of the pores by the two evils of rheumatism, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood and blockage of the hair. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has the effect of aromatic passage and promoting qi flow. Wiping Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can make Qi return to the blood, Qi will be bloody, and blood will be scattered.
For vulvar itching, because Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is composed of Huoxiang, perilla, Angelica dahurica, ginger and other medicines that resist a variety of pathogenic bacteria and trichomoniasis, it has a good effect on the treatment of vulvar itching. You can directly use Huoxiang Zhengqi Water to wash the vulva with cold boiled water at a ratio of 1 gram to 50 grams, both men and women. It not only has an anti-itching effect, but also has a refreshing feeling.
Therefore, it is important that the dilution of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can also be used as a health care cleanser for sexual organs.
Even it can treat external hemorrhoids, each time with 2 sticks of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water plus 1000 ml of cold boiled water, scrub with cotton wool, 2 times a day. During the onset of the inflammatory phase, it has the effect of reducing inflammation and relieving pain and promoting atrophy.
It is precisely because of the above two points that the Chinese patent medicine factory of Chiji Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital produced this product in the first batch.
In advance, two thousand small porcelain bottles were ordered in the ceramic kiln factory, filled with medicines, and distributed them to the technicians of the Hantang Group one by one, and generously counted the Ming and indigenous security team members.
The rest of the stockpile, the Chinese patent medicine factory continued to produce, but most of the work was handed over to hired Ming female laborers.
Everyone knows how to use Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and learns to use it correctly - especially in the aspect of sexual organ health cleanser, and everyone has a good response after using it.
Subsequently. Dr. Cheng set his sights on the local Ming people. He wanted to make some potions for the Ming people to prevent heat and heat—preferably one that could be popularized soon.
He first thought of cooling oil.
The medicinal materials needed for the cooling oil are easy to obtain, but the preparation of the raw materials takes some work.
The preparation time of menthol, menthol oil, camphor, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, and camphor oil can only be said to be slow.
If you don't have Vaseline, you can use bee wax instead; In the industrial production of the world, a little ammonia is added to the production - but it can also be dispensed with, it only enhances the volatilization.
Dr. Cheng decided to follow the old recipe of Hu Wenhu's invention of "Tiger Balm".
But all the materials need to be accumulated a little bit, and this one can't be rushed.
So what other drugs can be popular and quickly promoted?
