Hey, I'm back to continue on the chapter left out from the previous week of the real various decoctions as I promised to list them in the glossary now. This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions. (part 2)
The above five charts are all decoctions and TCM terminologies that I promised you in the previous blog regarding:
- Relief cough
- Remove heat and detoxification
The next treatment guidelines continue as follows:
Cooling the heaty blood in the way to Stop the Bleeding
This method is usually applied to areas of light bleeding and internal haemorrhage, namely:
- Nasal bleeding
- Gum bleeding
- Hematuria
- Blood in stool
From the TCM perspective, the common blood disorders are anaemia and bleeding disorders caused by:
- Heaty blood flows in a very arrogant manner as well as
- Not circulating in the proper channels.
These conditions are then aggravated by the Qi, Yin and Spleen deficiency generally found in the children.
Treatment formulas include the following decoctions:
- Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang
- Yu Nu Jian
- Xiao Ji Yin Zi
- Huai Hua San
A caring practitioner would add herbs to strengthen the Qi, nourishing the Yin and invigorate the spleen in the decoction selection.
Ease Indigestion and Unblock Stagnation
This method is relatively easy and mainly applicable to the infant irregular feeding and dairy indigestion. The common symptoms are:
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
The usual treatment formulas are as follows:
- Bao He Wan
- Xiao Ru Wan
- Zhi Shi Dao Zhi Wan
Relief Shock and Resuscitation
This method is usually applied to Pediatric convulsion and epilepsy. The observed symptoms and the applicable relevant TCM terminologies would more or less narrow down to which formula to be used.
The usual treatment formula with the relevant terminology is as follow:
1) A frightened child with uneasy emotion=( apply:-An Shen Zhen Jing)
- Zhu Sha An Shen Wan
- Ci Zhu Wan
2) When there is a convulsion due to sweltering heat accumulated=(apply:-Zhen Jing Xi Feng)
- Ling Jiao Gou Teng Tang
There are a lot of cross-references to be made to the last blog on the decoction
glossaries so that the explanation can be digested easier. So I will stop here and continue on the treatment decoctions in the next blog (part three).
Best of all
