The miraculous throat recipe for six flavor soup

Mondo Gastronomy Updated on 2024-03-07

Liuwei Soup, a decoction known as the holy recipe of laryngology, has a history dating back to the Qing Dynasty's "Laryngeal Fingers". The book uses it as the preferred prescription for 72 laryngological diseases, reflecting its unique position in the field of laryngology. In order to distinguish it from the equally popular Liuwei Dihuang Soup, later generations of doctors often called it the Liuwei Soup of Laryngology, highlighting its professionalism in the field of laryngology. Mr. Gan Zuwang, the founder of modern Chinese medicine otolaryngology, praised this ancient prescription. He commented: "The six-flavor soup ordered in "Laryngology's Fingers" is an exclusive prescription for pharyngology, with precise medication, rigorous compatibility and remarkable efficacy. Wang Delin, a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Gansu, and Yu Guojun, a famous doctor in Sichuan, also spoke highly of the efficacy of this prescription. In the process of studying "Laryngology", I was deeply impressed by the subtlety of the composition of the six-flavor soup. The description of its addition and subtraction application in the original book is orderly and rigorous. Combined with the clinical experience of my predecessors, I have found that this formula is highly effective in practical applications. The six-flavor soup in the original canon is composed of nepeta spikes, mint, fried zombie silkworms, bellflower, powdered licorice and parsnip. After these drugs are ground to the end, they are decocted with water, and the slag is removed and taken warmly, and they need to be swallowed frequently, and they should not be drunk in one gulp. If the decoction or consumption method is improper, it is difficult to achieve the expected effect. In case of emergency, it can even be soaked in white boiling water. However, this is only a basic formula, and the actual application needs to be adjusted according to the patient's specific symptoms. This requires careful observation and flexible use by our doctors to ensure the best results. Liuwei Tang, an ancient Chinese herbal formula, is made from nepeta mustard, peppermint, fried silkworm, bellflower, licorice and parsnip. The combination of these six flavors of medicine is like a harmonious band, each playing its own role, and together interpreting the wonderful movement of throat diseases. Licorice and bellflower, like a subwoofer in the band, detoxify the throat and relieve pain, laying a solid foundation for the whole formula. The pungent warmth and coolness of nepeta and mint echo each other, like the harmonic part of the orchestra, which is both harmonious and layered. And the nepeta is even deeper into the blood, and the parsnip is like a lubricant in the band, making the whole formula smoother. The zombie silkworm is like a soloist in the band, dispelling wind and phlegm and dispersing poison, adding a touch of color to the whole formula. The whole prescription is peaceful, and there is neither the disadvantage of cold nor the risk of dryness. Whether it is the beginning of laryngeal disease or red and white disease, it can be effective**. Among them, licorice, bellflower, zombie silkworm, nepeta, and mint are all recorded in ancient documents with single flavor or small recipe compatibility with throat diseases. The licorice soup and bellflower soup in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" both use the licorice and bellflower to detoxify the throat. The white zombie silkworm is praised in the "Rihuazi Materia Medica" as a good medicine for dispelling wind and phlegm, dispersing wind poison, and relieving sores and swellings. In the Southern Song Dynasty physician Chen Wuyan's "Three Causes and One Disease Syndrome Formula", it is also used as a special medicine for wind, heat, lungs, sore throat. The compatibility of these six flavors involves wind, heat, and phlegm, and hits the pathogenic characteristics of throat diseases with wind, heat, and phlegm. This makes this prescription the best prescription for throat diseases. Moreover, this prescription is a boiling powder, which can be lightly decocted, and the meaning of light and clear is taken up, which is the same as the intention of Yinqiaosan. When necessary, you can even soak it in boiled water and rinse it again and again to take its local ** effect.

It can be said that the formula of Liuwei Tang is a bright pearl in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. With its unique compatibility and best effect, it has brought good news to countless patients with throat diseases. The addition and subtraction of the 72 symptoms of laryngology and the six flavors of laryngeology soup actually contain the profound philosophy and wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. In clinical practice, we cannot simply think that a sore throat is inflammation, let alone treat it with heat-clearing drugs. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "treating diseases and seeking the roots, and guiding according to the situation". In diagnosis, we must first check the pharyngeal pulse to determine the cold, heat, deficiency and reality of the disease. This is not only an accurate judgment of the disease, but also a comprehensive consideration of the patient's physical condition. The "Outline of the Throat" in "Throat Introduction" provides us with valuable guidance. For example, those with diffuse swelling and phlegm are often caused by wind evil; Those who are pale and have tight teeth are invaded by wind and cold; If the purple color is not swollen and rotten, it may be a disease of cold; Those who are red and swollen and have floating pulses are hot and windy. And those with a solid pulse, rotten but not swollen, may be poisonous and evil; Those who have a small number of pulses and float are the rise of false fire, and those who are thin and late are the evidence of false cold. In terms of pulse diagnosis, if the initial symptoms are flooding, the heart is often blazing; The two levels of floating numbers are the stomach fire and liver wind attack; The left inch floats in the flood, which also indicates that the heart is hot; The right inch is late, and it is hidden in the cold; The sinking number is that the heat has not occurred. The right ruler is large, indicating that the three cokes are hot; The left ruler is strong and powerful, and it is a kidney deficiency and fire. In the first process, we also need to carry out syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the patient's physique. For those who are strong in qi and blood, it is not harmful to take more cold medicine; However, for those with weakened qi and blood, cold medicine should not be used too much, so as not to hurt the righteous qi. At the same time, we also need to determine the course of the disease according to the development law of the disease, and transfer the prescription in a timely manner. Because the interaction between disease and the human body is complex, it is not possible to solve all the contradictions with a single prescription. This is just as reflected in "Laryngology", the flexibility of the change of prescription to symptom is the essence of Chinese medicine. From the perspective of clinical medication, when we encounter laryngeal swelling and congestion, but the local inspection shows pale color and no sound and hoarseness, this is usually a mild manifestation of cold and evil depression. In response to such situations, we use Liuwei Tang as the basis, supplemented by medicinal materials such as Su Ye, Asarum Xin, Qianghuo, Cinnamon Branch, etc., the purpose of which is to dissipate cold and evil and promote the circulation of qi and blood. This method often has a short course of illness and significant effect, and can often be cured. For example, when encountering a white milk moth, the mouth is swollen and stuffed, the body is cold and hot, and the six veins are floating, which is a typical manifestation of wind chill in the lungs. We also use the Liuwei soup as the basis, adding herbs such as Su Ye, Asarum Xin, Qianghuo, etc., which can be effective in one dose. For the cold and throat of the lungs, the symptoms are that the two sides of the larynx are like lentil shells, flat but not swollen, painful and uneaten, not worn or rotten, cold and afraid of cold, and the right hand is tight. At this time, we still use the Liuwei soup as the basis, adding Qianghuo, Su Ye, Angelica, Bupleurum, Burdock Root, Cinnamon Branches and other medicinal materials to warm the lungs and dispel cold, relieve pain and eat. The author repeatedly emphasizes that for such cold syndromes, it is important not to misuse cold drugs, otherwise it may lead to syndrome changes and make the condition more complicated. For example, the symptoms of cold throat paralysis are slow lung meridians, or swollen or not swollen, and purple in color. At this time, the six-flavor soup should be added with medicinal materials such as Su Ye, Asarum Chinensis, Bupleurum chinensis, and sea pumice stone to warm and dispel cold and evil, and invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis. If the condition has deteriorated due to the misuse of the cold agent, we need to use the Liuwei soup as the basis and add medicinal herbs such as fine spice, ephedra, cinnamon branches, Su leaves, melon wilt, chebula, burdock seeds, etc., to warm the lungs and dispel cold and promote lung qi. If the larynx is swollen or not, but the voice is hoarse and dry, this is often a manifestation of cold in the lungs, or a manifestation of cold and fire, and the course of the disease is long, and it needs to be staged**. First of all, we use the six-flavor soup with ephedra, fine pungent herbs, Su leaves, Qianghuo and other pungent and warm herbs to dissipate cold and evil and promote lung qi. After the condition is stabilized, according to the changes in the condition, add skullcap, rhubarb, succulent ginseng and other herbs to clear the heat and throat to clear the heat of internal depression. For example, white throat paralysis, its symptoms are cold in the lungs and stomach, slow pulse and body heat. We use six-flavor soup with medicinal herbs such as fine spice, Qianghuo, Su leaf, tangerine peel, etc., to warm the lungs and dispel cold, and eat with the stomach. If the condition turns red and dry and painful, we need to add herbs such as gardenia, mutong, skullcap, shengdi, and cork to clear away heat and throat, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis. For the hoarse larynx, the symptoms are that the larynx is not swollen or red, there are no rotten spots, but it feels dry and painful, and it is difficult to eat and drink, which is a typical manifestation of cold in the lungs. **, we also use the Liuwei soup as the basis, adding Su leaves, ephedra, fine spices and other medicinal materials to warm the lungs and dispel cold, and promote lung qi. After the condition is relieved, pollen, skullcap, Qianghuo, Banxia and other medicinal materials are gradually added to clear away heat and throat, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough. The whole process requires patience and carefulness, and it cannot be fully healed until March or April. When identifying hot syndromes, the ** strategy is particularly crucial. For pure wind and heat, we use Liuwei soup as the base recipe, and add heat-clearing drugs such as Forsythia, Phellodendron cork, Gardenia and Mutong to quickly remove heat and restore balance to the body. For example, wind-heat laryngeal disease is characterized by fine red spots on the throat, pale root bands, ulcers on both sides of the tongue, and tight pulses. In addition to using the six-flavor soup, we will also add salt to stir-fry ginseng, wine fried skullcap, gardenia and pollen, and then take it with blowing medicine, and at the same time take Baxian San, so as to achieve the effect of treating the inside and the outside. However, when the heat is too strong and the yin fluid is injured, or the upper coke is hot and the lower coke is weak, it needs to be carried out in stages. First of all, we use Liuwei Tang and one or two doses of heat-clearing medicine to directly bend the fire, which is the method of treating the symptoms. Then, add drugs that cool the blood and nourish yin, such as danpi, shengdi, etc., to cure the root cause. If the throat is swollen inside and outside, born under the guan, yin and yang are knotted, both inside and outside are swollen, or there are rotten spots, which is the evidence of fire and depression. At this time, it is necessary to urgently inject Shaoshang and Shangyang's hands and four acupoints, and use six-flavor soup and wine to fry skullcap, cooked army, sea pumice stone, etc., after taking a dose, and then change to cool blood and nourish yin, such as danpi, shengdi, etc., to consolidate the curative effect. For the hard throat wind, it is mostly caused by overwork, although it is not swollen, but it is slightly red and painful, the two sides of the small tongue are bleeding, and the upper part of the pulse is tight. At this time, we use the six-flavor soup to add salt to fry the ginseng, wine to fry the skullcap, gardenia, etc., if the fire is heavier, add raw land, salt to fry Zhimu, Danpi, etc., usually three doses can be cured. For purulent diseases such as laryngeal carbuncles, on the basis of the differentiation between cold, heat, deficiency and reality, we add drugs such as guiwei, horn thorn, pangolin and other drugs to promote the discharge of pus and the healing of sores. This staged approach embodies a deep understanding of the laws of disease development and superb art.

As a TCM practitioner, when we first enter clinical practice, we often pursue the effect of hitting the cup with one blow and stopping at the cup. However, with the accumulation of clinical experience, we have gradually realized that it is also a realm worth pursuing to be able to look at the development trend of the disease from a certain height, distinguish the main and secondary contradictions, treat them step by step, and advance and retreat in an orderly manner. This realm requires us to have a deep theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine and rich clinical experience, only in this way, can we find the best solution in the complex clinical contradictions, and bring better results to patients. After systematic study and practice, I found that the laryngology Liuwei decoction has a significant effect on cold and cough, chronic pharyngitis, tonsil enlargement, hoarseness, aphonia and other symptoms in clinical application. However, it is not enough to rely on the principles of distinguishing between cold and heat, determining the course of the disease, and knowing the prescription in the original book, and the following two aspects need to be paid attention to. First of all, when we use the laryngology Liuwei Tang plus Asara Spicy, Su Ye, etc.** with a dry throat cough hoarseness, we must carefully distinguish it from the lung and stomach yin deficiency syndrome. Initially, when I used this method, it was a mixed bag. However, after a period of clinical observation and exploration, I gradually realized that the mechanism of dry throat targeted by Liuwei Tongjiawei lies in the cold and evil to close the lungs. As "Lingshu Sorrow Without Words" said: "If a person dies without a sound, the cold is disgusted, then the disgust cannot be sent, the hair cannot be sent down, and the opening and closing cannot be reached, so there is no sound." "Such patients often present with chills and body aches clinically, that is, there is a sign of chills. Although they may cough with a dry and uncomfortable throat, the cough is not severe or frequent but paroxysmal with no apparent timing pattern. At **, we can add or subtract according to the severity of the chill. If the cold is mild, you can add ephedra and Su leaves; If the cold is severe and the limbs are sore, you don't need to worry too much about dry throat, you can directly use ephedra aconite fine spicy soup, which is often relieved by sweating. From the point of view of body characteristics, people with strong physique, rough physique, and black and fat are prone to this situation. The dry throat caused by yin deficiency in the lungs and stomach is caused by the loss of moisture in the throat. These patients are often characterized by dry throat, sore throat, and hoarseness with characteristic cough. This kind of cough is mostly paroxysmal choking, starting from the first cough, that is, continuous compact and rapid coughing, like a series of episodes, often coughing until the face is red, and there is a time pattern of light day and heavy night. Mr. Gan Zuwang defined this cough as laryngeal cough and recommended the use of Lily Gujin Tang or Chonglou Yukey Yang Yin Qing Lung Soup**. The author believes that this kind of cough can also be understood as the "great reversal of the qi, the throat is unfavorable" as evidenced by the "Jinkui" Maimen Soup, and it can also be effective with Maimendong Soup**. From the point of view of body characteristics, patients with this cough tend to be elongated, white, and not accompanied by external cold and heat. Secondly, the decoction method of the six flavors of laryngeal soup is also worth our attention. The original recipe is a boiling powder, lightly decoction and gargling, and the medicinal properties will be volatile after a long decoction. Mr. Wang Delin and Mr. Yu Guojun pay attention to light frying when using this recipe. Therefore, when prescribing, we should instruct patients to soak the herbs in cold water for 1 2 hours, then boil over high heat, turn to low heat and cook for another 10 minutes, and swallow slowly. Considering that some patients are students and it is inconvenient to cook medicine, we can suggest that they use a large tea jar, brew with boiling water, and simmer for about 15 minutes before taking it. In this way, the patient can get good ** results even when it is not possible to cook the medicine. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
