The decoction water, decoction method, and then the method of taking the medicine, there is a whole set of theories, which are well understood in the ancient books, and today we will talk about the method of taking the medicine to relieve the symptoms. The ancients attached great importance to the external symptoms. For chronic internal diseases, it can be taken twice a day in the morning and evening, but for the external symptoms, it needs to be drunk three times a day, which actually increases the intensity of treatment. Clinical doctors often prescribe five days’ worth of medicine for patients with colds and fever and ask them to drink it all in three days. Zhang Liang of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Beijing Huairou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Then, for very serious illnesses with particularly drastic changes, it is even more necessary to shorten the interval between doses, so that you can drink three times in half a day, for example, in patients with high fever, the purpose of taking medication is to reduce fever, so we should shorten the interval between doses and increase the frequency of dosing, so that the blood concentration of medication can be increased and its potency enhanced. Shortening the interval between doses has the added benefit of being able to see if the drug is right for the patient. If the drug is taken so frequently, the condition still does not improve at all, or even worsens, indicating that the drug does not match the condition, in which the patient can feel. The external severe illnesses change rapidly from one day to the next, so shortening the interval between doses can also save valuable treatment time, and timely change of medication will not allow the condition to be delayed and aggravated. Modern Chinese medicine has basically withdrawn from the stage of acute and severe external illnesses, and the people are used to hanging fluids for fever, saying that Chinese medicine cannot cure acute illnesses, which is actually completely wrong. Do the ancients not have fever? There have been many other major outbreaks of infectious diseases in Chinese history, and it is Chinese medicine that has blessed this largest group of people in human history to flourish. Chinese medicine still can’t reduce fever if the evidence is accurate, and this is largely related to the incorrect way of taking Chinese medicine in the middle.
