Rhubarb powder 0.3g or less has antidiarrheal effect. The mechanism is that the astringent effect of rhubarb ellagic acid masks the effect of the laxative component which is present in very small amount. The tannin of D-catechin inhibits the production of bacterial enzymes in the large intestine and blocks the production of indoles, thus stopping diarrhea. Zhe Bei Mu: 9-15g, with the function of clearing lung heat, moistening lung agitation, clearing heat and resolving phlegm.

Chai Hu: In Xiao Chai Hu Tang, it is the ruler’s medicine, the dosage is more than double that of other medicines (it can penetrate the evil and go out), while in Yi Yao San, it is the minister’s medicine, the dosage is equal to each medicine (it plays the role of detoxifying the liver and relieving depression), in Tonic Zhong Yi Qi Tang, it is the adjuvant medicine, the dosage is very small (to take its function of raising the clear yang, my experience is to use 3-6 grams). Andrographis paniculata: bitter in taste, flat in nature, has a regulatory effect on both cellular and humoral immunity, so it has become a wonderful medicine for rheumatic diseases in recent years. According to “Chinese Materia Medica”, the dosage of its dried product is 6-9 grams, “Chinese Herbal Manual” is mostly 15 grams, a few up to 30 grams, and the amount commonly used in the northeast is also 15-30 grams. But according to Zhu Liangchun experience, to achieve better results, the dosage must be 40 to 50 grams, 30 grams below the effect is not obvious. Astragalus: its diuretic effect is obvious within 20 grams, more than 30 grams tend to inhibit; its effect on blood pressure, within 15 grams can raise blood pressure, more than 35 grams but lowering blood pressure. When there are symptoms of qi deficiency, use roasted astragalus, no qi deficiency symptoms, then use raw astragalus. 40 grams or more to regulate the dynamic balance of blood pressure. In Wang Qingren’s tonic Yang also five soup heavy use to 120g, there are said: astragalus cure atrophy, four two start (16 decimal market weight four two a penny is 3 grams), accompanied by Chen Pi to prevent congestion. Aconite: with up to 15 grams must first fry for about 4 hours, with up to 30 grams must first fry for about 8 hours, after the steam system will not have to fry for so long, with gradually increase to 30 grams is appropriate, the effect should be gradually reduced, more than 30 grams of mega-dose inexperienced best not to use, accidentally can lead to death, aconite pain, 8 two (240 grams) mouth numbness to vomit, the effect of poison two edges; Angelica The actual blood is not only a good way to get rid of the blood stasis, but also a good way to get rid of the blood stasis. For example, Angelica tonic blood soup is composed of 30g of Astragalus, 6g of Angelica, later in the application of the general formula of blood tonic four things soup, Angelica dosage is not more than 10g; Guei Spleen Tang, Eight Precious Soup, the dosage of Angelica is only 3g, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, blood circulation and pain relief for the treatment of gangrene, the dosage of Angelica is up to 60g, mainly because of its blood circulation and pain relief; treatment of women after childbirth stasis of blood within the dew can not be, small abdominal The dosage of Angelica sinensis is 24g, which is also used to invigorate blood circulation and relieve pain, and to remove blood stasis and produce new blood. For example, in Buddha’s Hand San, which is used for treating Qi depression and blood stasis in women before and after childbirth, Angelica sinensis is used in two to three dosages to invigorate the blood, so that the stasis can be removed and the blood can return. This shows that angelica is used to invigorate the blood, the dose should be large, available to 15g or more. Previously, it is said that its odor is thick, the line is surplus, the code is insufficient. Therefore, heavy use is more powerful to move the blood. If used to replenish blood, the dose should be light, 3 to 9g can be. Blood deficiency leads to Yin deficiency, Yin deficiency gives rise to deficiency heat, Angelica odor is pungent and warm and active, heavy use will lead to blood, do not use, otherwise it is counterproductive, the patient after taking every dry mouth, irritability, insomnia, dizziness more intense, and even epistaxis. Hossein: the treatment of wind-cold surface evidence of the dose is generally used 3 grams, up to 9 grams. But when the use of pseudostellaria for the treatment of various types of pain, the dosage is often very large, sometimes up to 30 grams, or even larger. Obviously, when the wind-cold table evidence with a very large dose of pseudostellaria, not only in the evidence is not beneficial, and will cause adverse reactions; on the contrary, if the analgesic effect of pseudostellaria, and with the usual dose, is obviously a drop in the bucket, the pain is not helpful. The upper limit of the common dose is 9 grams, but clinically, when the drug is used with other Chinese medicines to treat various types of advanced malignant tumor diseases, the daily dosage reaches 45-75 grams, which is 5-8.33 times the upper limit of the authoritative dose. Chuanxiong: A small dose can strengthen the contraction of the uterus, but a large dose instead numbs the uterus. The dosage of Chuanxiong Ligusticum should be light: up to 4 grams, for headache from external sensation, heavy: 9-12 grams for headache from liver and yang in hypertension, and heavy: up to 30-40 grams for headache from blood stasis, which has been considered an important medicine for headache for many generations. It has been said in the past that “Chuanxiong must be used for headache”. Chuanxiong is pungent and warm in nature, activates blood circulation, dispels wind and relieves pain, and is often used clinically to treat blood stasis headache. In Wang Qingren’s Blood Mansions and Blood Stasis Soup for the treatment of blood stasis headache, Chuanxiong is often used in the formula with a dosage of 15-30 g. In Chen Shiduo’s “Records of the Identification of the Hundred Diseases” for the treatment of migraine headache, Chuanxiong is also used in the formula with a dosage of 30 g. If the dosage of Chuanxiong is reduced, the treatment will not be effective. If Chuanxiong is used to treat hypertensive headaches, it should also be used in large doses, 10-15 g. As long as there is stagnation in the blood, regardless of whether the headache is caused by hypertension or hypotension, the bold use of Chuanxiong not only has a good effect on pain relief, but also has a corresponding effect on blood pressure regulation. The dosage should not be too much, usually 4.5-6g, but for the treatment of intractable headache, the dosage should be large, with an effective amount of 30g or more, up to 45g, for an immediate effect! According to recent pharmacological studies, large doses of Chuanxiong can lower blood pressure, while small doses can raise it. It has been suggested that Chuanxiong is pungent, warm and aromatic, moving up the head and eyes, and should be used with caution in patients with hypertension. However, Chinese medicine believes that this product has a two-way effect of moving up to the head and eyes and down to the sea of blood. Chuanxiong 15 g mulberry leaf 45 g. Such a dose and combination is miraculously effective in treating vascular headache. In the Pharmacopoeia, the daily dose of Scutellaria baicalensis is 3-9 grams, and that of Chuanxiong rhizome is 3-9 grams, while the dose of Scutellaria baicalensis in the “Qianjin Yi Fang” for the treatment of gonorrhea and downward blood flow is four taels per day, which translates into a metric system of 57.68 grams, which is obviously far beyond the upper limit of the authoritative prescribed dose of Scutellaria baicalensis, which is generally 30-45 grams per day. The daily dose of Chuanxiong Ligusticum in the Xiao Pin Fang for the treatment of women’s avalanche is eight taels, equivalent to 115.36 grams, which is also clearly a very large dose. The common dose of ginseng is 3 to 9 grams, and when used for dehiscence, its dosage is up to 30 grams or more on. Lycopodium and Sophora: 30g or more to lower blood pressure.
