What does Lishui mean? It is a way to urinate more, and then discharge the water in the body, such as the white grass root, plantain, hero flower (kapok), barley, and even five-flower damp tea (honeysuckle, kapok, frangipani, etc.) commonly used by Cantonese people, as well as Mianyin Chen, Ze Yuan, Poria cocos, etc., people who drink too much are easy to urinate more, so they think that the water will be discharged when they are wet.
Beneficial water is that there is water in the body to be beneficial, okay, just when this medicine is so good that it can really benefit the water in the body, but today's water conservancy is over, but tomorrow I will still eat, drink water, and there will be new water, so I can't use water every day, eat Wuhua tea as a meal, and drink it as water?
But the water and urine are all through the kidneys, and if there is more water conservancy, it is easy to have backache and weakness in the limbs.
Therefore, only water can not solve the problem, only the spleen and kidney are treated together.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the spleen is the source of dampness, which means that the root cause of heavy dampness is caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and poor transportation. Deficiency is supplemented, so it is necessary to use the spleen, such as atractylodes, the most earthy, can not only strengthen the spleen but also replenish the spleen, but also dry and damp, everything is strong, so Ling Guishu sweet soup (Poria cocos, cinnamon branches, atractylodes, licorice) is actually the ginseng in the soup of the four gentlemen is replaced with cinnamon branches, "sick phlegm drinkers, should be warmed medicine and it", cinnamon branches can warm the meridians, promote yang and qi, but also warm the heart of Yang, cinnamon branches help yang, yang is enough, you can turn water into water vapor, but also a way to benefit water, so when the water is wet, cinnamon branches are more suitable than ginseng, It is to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. The kidneys are the foundation of dampness, so there are also Zhenwu soup (atractylodes, ginger, aconite, peony, poria cocos)** afraid of cold limbs, headache and dizziness, especially edema below the waist.
So a few days ago, a netizen first had swollen eyelids, and then his lower limbs were also edema, and he didn't work with Ling Guishu Gantang, but he didn't work with Zhenwu Tang plus or minus, and he was sick for a long time and kidneys, in fact, he has developed into spleen and kidney deficiency. Because there are not only atractylodes in the soup, but also aconite ginger to warm the kidneys and dispel cold, and Poria cocos to dilute the water, which can treat the spleen and kidneys at the same time.
There are also patients who have a long cough and dry cough, night sweats, and use Erchen decoction (tangerine peel, banxia, poria cocos, licorice) to no effect, and use Jinshui Liujun decoction + atractylodes (Erchen decoction + angelica, rehmannia, atractylodes) is effective, because the cough hurts the kidneys for a long time, and the kidney yin is deficient.
If you cough up a lot of phlegm for a long time, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and the color is white and clear, decoction with gold water Liujun add cinnamon branches, aconite, and fine spice. Why can the golden water Liujun decoction not only regulate yin deficiency cough, but also regulate yang deficiency cough, because a long cough will hurt yin, so it is necessary to nourish yin plus yang medicine cinnamon branches, aconite, and fine pungent to seek yang in yin.
In this way, it is clear that there is a lot of dampness, the light spleen strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness, and the heavy spleen strengthens the kidney and dispels dampness. Therefore, if the syndrome is spleen deficiency and dampness, you usually use Lingguishu Gantang or Shenling Baizhu Powder, which is simple and cheap, and can be bought in pharmacies. There is no need to drink five-flower dampness tea every day, those who are light and water do not strengthen the spleen, it is easy to have spleen and kidney deficiency if you use too much, you can't eat, and your eyes and feet are swollen, so you will be in trouble.
