There are generally seven aspects of Chinese medicine compounding, known as the “seven emotions” of Chinese medicine, which are single-action, mutual-enabling, mutual-supporting, mutual-killing, mutual-fearful, opposite, and mutual-unfavorable.
Single line refers to the use of a single herb to treat a certain disease. The combination of two medicines with similar efficacy enhances the original therapeutic effect.
The use of two medicines with different efficacy or properties to enhance the original therapeutic effect. The term “mutual fear” refers to the ability of a drug to reduce the toxic side effects of another drug. Killing refers to the ability of a drug to reduce the toxic side effects of another drug with which it is combined.
Aversive means that when two drugs are used together, one drug can reduce the efficacy that the other drug could have produced. Contrary means that when two drugs are used together, they produce or enhance the toxic side effects of the drug as a whole.
Among them, phasic beard and phasic make can work well and are commonly used in clinical practice to enhance the efficacy, phasic fear and phasic killing can reduce the toxic side effects and ensure that drugs with toxic side effects can be used safely, while phasic evil and opposite is a taboo in the compounding of Chinese medicines.
Chinese medicine should be taken under the guidance of a Chinese medicine doctor’s diagnosis, and should not be taken on its own, so as not to damage the body.
