Strong neck and back
The main treatment of Pueraria Mirifica Tang is very simple: “the back of the neck is strong”. Don’t think that “strong neck and back” means discomfort at the large vertebrae point, we have to extend the “neck and back” to include the head, back and waist. From the back of the head all the way to the lumbosacral region, the feeling of restraint, pain, and tiredness in the back can be considered as “strong back”. I found that some people who used Ge Gen Tang in clinical practice complained of “strong head and neck pain”, some complained of “soreness and heaviness in the shoulders and neck”, some complained of “soreness and pain in the back”, and some complained of Some complain of “dizziness, heavy head, dizziness”, and some even feel fatigue, saying they can’t drag themselves, saying they are sleepy and heavy all over. Be aware that this may be the Ge Gen Tang evidence! But it also depends on the constitution. If a patient is a girl in her 20s, thin, and says it’s cervical spondylosis, you immediately use Ge Gen Tang, I’m afraid it’s easy to go wrong: you can’t sleep well at night, you’re panicking, and your head is even more uncomfortable. The easiest way to identify the evidence of Ge Gen Tang is to see if the person has a thick back, which is called “Ge Gen Tang back”! When I look at acne, I find that the acne on the back is the most severe and the most effective. Therefore, the back is the main part of the body that is treated with Ge Gen Tang. In addition, Ge Gen Tang treats diseases of the head and face and the five senses. There are many back pains that we also use Ge Gen Tang for, and it works!
Self-discharge
Also, when I use Ge Gen Tang, I usually ask for stools, which are usually frequent or unformed, or even diarrhea. Why? Because Zhang Zhongjing used Ge Gen Tang specifically to talk about “self-exciting”. It says that those who suffer from a combination of Sun and Yang Ming will have self-induced diarrhea. Self-exciting diarrhea means that there is no use of laxatives and the stools become more frequent or thin. Zhang Zhongjing used Ge Gen, depending on the nature of the stool, to determine the dosage. Ge Gen Tang uses four taels of Ge Gen to treat spontaneous diarrhea; Ge Gen Scutellaria Tang uses eight taels of Ge Gen, which is to treat “more than diarrhea”, which is much more serious than spontaneous diarrhea. Therefore, Pueraria Mirifica is not used when the stool is very dry, and if it is used, it should be used together with Da Huang.
Acne Treatment
Kudzu root soup is more effective in treating acne. I use Pueraria Mirifica soup more often, mostly those who have a stronger body, dark face, very thick, acne on the face with pimples, nodules, pustules, and even sinus tracts, the face is like a pineapple ah. This kind of acne clearing heat and fire medicine is often ineffective, you must eat kudzu root soup. After using Pueraria Mirifica soup, the complexion can become whiter, the hard nodules can gradually become softer, and the acne can slowly disappear. I often combine Ge Gen Tang with Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan or Ge Gen Tang with Rhubarb and Chuanxiong to treat facial acne in young people who are strong and healthy. This is also used for women with hirsutism, amenorrhea, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Treating sudden deafness
Pueraria Mirifica Tang is used to treat sudden deafness, adding Rhizoma Rhizoma Rhizoma if the stool is dry and Rhizoma Chuanxiong if deaf. This is the case of a student, 20 years old, who complained of swelling and pain in her left ear two days ago, followed by hearing loss in both ears, and upon investigation, sudden deafness. This girl was physically strong, and at that time I gave him the following: Pueraria Mirifica 60g Raw Ephedra 6g
Gui Zhi 12g Red Peony 12g Raw Licorice 6g Prepared Rhubarb 6g
Dried ginger 6g red dates 20g. seven doses. A week later told me that in the middle of the process, any western medicine is useless, after taking the medicine hearing better, sleep better, the sixth day hearing fully recovered! I went to the provincial Chinese medicine hospital for a re-check and it was normal! I used Pueraria Mirifica soup to treat many cases of sudden deafness, most of them are stronger, or have yellow and dark face.
Treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome is now much ah, Western medicine considers it a physical state and there is nothing good to do. We will consider using Ge Gen Tang combined with Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan, or combined with Dang Gui Shao Yao San, which can promote menstruation. This is not only because of the estrogenic effect of Pueraria Mirifica, but also because Ephedra plays a very important role. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome are in a state of glandular blockage, with inactive sweat glands that do not sweat easily; their brains do not work, they forget things all the time and are unresponsive; and their ovaries do not function, so the eggs are not coming out. This is to open the door, make him sweat, make him excited, and make her menstruate.
Treatment of female hypogonadism
Radix Puerariae Rhizoma and Radix Glycyrrhiza Glabra Tang can treat women’s low sexual function and arouse their sexual desire. Gan Jiang Ling Jiao Tang is a kidney-holding soup that can cure a cold waist, a cold waist, like sitting in water, a heavy waist, like carrying five thousand dollars. Many women say that the waist is sore, waist heavy, in fact, often her entire abdomen is flabby, the belly is also large, sexual function has also declined, yellow face one. At this time, you use Ge Gen Tang plus Gan Jiang Ling Jie Tang effective, with an euphoric effect. However, it should not be used for a long time, as soon as it is good.
Treatment of dysmenorrhea
Pueraria Mirifica Soup is effective in treating dysmenorrhea, which is the experience of my student, Dr. Chai Chengzhi. She treated an acne patient with Pueraria Mirifica soup in 2006. After taking it for four weeks, the acne disappeared and the dysmenorrhea was relieved at the same time. This case inspired her so much that she later intentionally tried it again, using Ge Gen Tang for all patients with dysmenorrhea of the ephedra constitution. Later on, when he came across patients with dysmenorrhea with a white thin body type, he removed the ephedra and found that the pain relief effect was also good. So Pueraria Mirifica may be the drug that plays a very key role in it. Of course, the role of Gui Zhi, Peony and Licorice cannot be ignored, and they are now doing animal experiments. She believes that different types of dysmenorrhea can be treated by adding Pueraria Mirifica to the original formula, and the greater the amount of Pueraria Mirifica, the more effective the pain relief will be.
Refreshing and awakening
The experience that Pueraria Mirifica soup can refresh the mind was said by Mr. Naoki Hiruma from Japan, who is here today. At that time he copied the recipe with Mr. Kejaku, the great V. Kejaku in his later years, when he was tired of seeing a doctor, what to drink to refresh? Kudzu root soup! So I said, kudzu soup is the Chinese style coffee. In Japan, many students eat kudzu soup before exams, and after eating kudzu soup, they can stay awake and be energetic. I was dizzy during my cold, but after I ate it, I was in good spirits and my mind was active in lectures. I guess that Zhang Zhongjing probably used Ge Gen Tang for those drunken generals. If you have vomiting, add Panax notoginseng, or if you have diarrhea, combine with Ge Gen Scutellaria Tang. Ge Gen Tang can be used to wake up and cure drunkenness.
Treating silence in the mouth
It has been reported that Ge Gen Tang can be used to treat temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome, which Mr. Jingjie, the great V, has experience with. He used Ge Gen Tang based on “Silence in the mouth” in the book “The Essentials of the Golden Horoscope”. Temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome means that the mouth can’t open, and it’s a loud sound. The book by V. Jing is well worth reading. Mr. V. Jingjie is a genius in how ancient recipes are used in modern diseases. I hope to translate more of Mr. Jingjie’s books to China in the future.
Treatment of rhinitis
Kudzu root soup for rhinitis, which is the experience of Mr. Ye Orangequan, is actually also the experience of the Japanese Han formula. Kudzu root soup with Chuanxiong and Xinjin is made into granules, which can be bought in pharmacies and is also very effective.
Draw the formula man
Kudzu root soup is selective for skin, muscle, back, and head and face conditions. I was thinking that if we were to make a human body model of the formula, like the acupuncture point model, with the name of the applicable formula on the appropriate part of the body, then the words “Ge Gen Tang” should be labeled on the back of the waist and back of the neck, which is the part of the body that Ge Gen Tang is used for. Last time I gave a lecture in Germany, there was a German doctor who was so smart that she drew the notes of the lecture, and immediately drew down the prescriptions you gave. In Italy, two doctors were very fast and drew a book of the formulae for each prescription I gave. I think that if we can draw the square people corresponding to each prescription of the Sutra, we will have succeeded in learning! One for each side. After we imprint this person in our mind, we will know what kind of person you are at a glance, so that we can use it safely and effectively.
