The choice of the three is particular: Angong Niuhuang Pill is suitable for patients with high fever, coma and "muddleheaded"; Zixuedan is suitable for patients with high fever, irritability and even coma accompanied by febrile convulsions, hand-foot convulsions and frequent banging. However, Zhibaodan is more suitable for patients with fever, phlegm-heat coma and quiet behavior, because many aromatic medicinal materials are used in the prescription. Based on these characteristics, there is a saying in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that "the average child is a snow pill, and he is silent to Bao Dan, and he is in a fog."
The insider's testimony: Now it is the fire of Angong Niuhuang Pill, ignoring Zi Xuedan and forgetting the Treasure Pill.
Professor Kong Sibo, the third son of Kong Bohua, one of the "four famous doctors" in China, and Dr. Cheng Ni, an associate professor of traditional Chinese medicine in Tongren Hospital, introduced in detail the origin, efficacy and various legendary stories of the "Three Treasures of Epidemic Febrile Diseases".
Angong Niuhuang Pill: Let the heart live in its palace
The name Treasure Dan fully embodies its value. Set a variety of precious medicinal materials in one side, with outstanding curative effect, which can be called effective and precious. He who gets it gets its treasure, hence the name. This prescription was recorded by a doctor named Gan Zheng in the book Ling Fiona Fang in Qing Dynasty, and was highly praised by experts of epidemic febrile diseases at that time.
Looking through the ancient prescriptions of Zhibaodan, you can not only find precious Chinese herbal medicines such as musk, rhinoceros horn and amber, but also 50 pieces of gold foil and silver foil. The reason why this prescription chooses gold foil and silver foil is to strengthen the sedative effect of amber and cinnabar in the prescription. Now the rhinoceros horn in the prescription has also been changed into buffalo horn concentrated powder, and gold foil and silver foil are no longer used as medicine. Therefore, the most precious pill on the market now is renamed as "Ju Zhi Bao Powder". Professor Kong Sibo said: His father, Mr. Kong Bohua, wrote to Chairman Mao to explain the importance of medical gold foil and defend its medical value. But until now, people who are biased against Chinese medicine still think that using gold foil is a waste.
Zhibaodan is suitable for coma caused by fever and excessive phlegm, and also for apoplexy, heatstroke and infantile convulsion caused by phlegm-heat stagnation. This prescription can be used for acute cerebrovascular disease, concussion, epidemic encephalitis B, epidemic encephalitis, hepatic coma, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, uremia, heatstroke and epilepsy. Western medicine diagnosed, Chinese medicine diagnosed as phlegm-heat sealing pericardium.
Zi Xuedan: It is in danger of being lost. Now it is not known to the public. In fact, its history is longer than the other two treasures. This prescription was invented by a China doctor named Su Gong in the Tang Dynasty. Because it is "frost and snow purple", its medicinal properties belong to heavy cold, so it is named Zixuedan. But now most of them are Zi Xue powder, and Zixuedan is rare. Zi Xue powder and Zixuedan have different effects, and the latter is more effective. There are not many people who can be Zixuedan now, and Zixuedan is almost lost.
Zixuedan is also a first-aid Chinese patent medicine for treating fever. In addition to clearing away heat and inducing resuscitation, it also has the effect of calming wind and relieving spasm. It is especially suitable for patients with high fever coma accompanied by convulsions and limb convulsions. Various febrile infectious diseases, such as epidemic encephalitis B, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, severe pneumonia, viral pneumonia, scarlet fever and purulent infection, as well as patients with liver coma, infantile febrile convulsion and infantile measles mainly characterized by high fever, coma and spasm, can all be treated with Zixuedan according to TCM syndrome differentiation. According to Ye, a famous master of epidemic febrile diseases in Qing Dynasty, it can also cure acne and congestion. Wu Tang, the inventor of Angong Niuhuang Pill, also recorded Zixuedan's treatment of madness in his Medical Records of Wu Jutong, which is what we call "schizophrenia" today.
Although Zixuedan is effective, not many people know and can use it correctly now. According to Dr. Cheng Ni, many children will have febrile convulsions due to inflammation and suppuration of tonsils. Parents often go to the emergency department of the hospital for infusion, and even use very advanced antibiotics every time. In fact, Zixuedan has a good antipyretic and spasmodic effect. Therefore, it is suggested that Zi Xue powder should be kept at home and used according to the instructions or under the guidance of a doctor. The price of Zi Xue powder is very low, and it costs only a dozen yuan to buy in a drugstore.
Angong Niuhuang Pill, Zixuedan and Zhibaodan are all representatives of clearing away heat and inducing resuscitation, but their medicinal properties are different. Angong Niuhuang Pill is the coolest, followed by Zixuedan and Zhibaodan. Angong Niuhuang Pill is suitable for patients who have a high fever and are unconscious and seem to be "in a fog". Zixuedan is suitable for patients with high fever, irritability and even coma accompanied by convulsions, hand and foot convulsions and frequent banging. Zhibaodan is more suitable for patients with fever, phlegm-heat coma and quiet behavior, because many aromatic herbs are used in the prescription. It is based on these characteristics that the Chinese medicine community has passed down its know-how from ancient times to the present, which is why the saying "Pingzi Xuedan, Mo Bao Dan, and Huoniuhuang Pill" came into being.
At present, many people bring Angong Niuhuang Pills as emergency medicine. After a stroke, I don't ask for symptoms or consult a doctor, thinking that eating it can bring me back to life. Experts remind: this practice is completely wrong. Although the "three treasures of febrile diseases" are all first-aid Chinese patent medicines with remarkable curative effects, Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and suits the right medicine. Acute cerebrovascular disease, commonly known as "stroke", includes hemorrhagic cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis. Traditional Chinese medicine divides stroke into midvein and viscera; The five zang-fu organs can be divided into two types: closed syndrome and separated syndrome, and closed syndrome can be divided into heat closure and cold closure. Only people with high fever, tight lips, tight hands, constipation, strong pulse and heat syndrome can use the "three treasures of febrile diseases" for first aid, but they can only take it temporarily. After the patient is conscious, he should be treated according to the specific performance. And pregnant women should avoid using "three treasures of epidemic febrile diseases". It is not advisable to eat spicy, greasy and fishy food during taking medicine, so as not to cause patients to get angry and produce phlegm.
Angong Niuhuang Pill is most suitable for the syndrome of viscera-yang closure in TCM syndrome differentiation. Clinically, sudden disturbance of consciousness, hemiplegia, irritability, redness and fever, halitosis, constipation, yellow and greasy tongue coating and thready pulse can be seen. It is often used to treat diseases such as Japanese encephalitis, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, toxic dysentery, uremia, cerebrovascular accident, toxic hepatitis, hepatic coma and so on. Angong Niuhuang Pill is cool. If the patient's face is pale, uneasy, and the tongue coating is white and greasy, it is contraindicated for cold phlegm. In case of excessive sweating and cold limbs, it is forbidden to take off the card. It is not suitable for pregnant women.
Zixuedan is suitable for high fever, dysphoria, delirium, convulsion, thirst, red urine, constipation, convulsion and other symptoms caused by the invagination of pericardium by pathogenic heat caused by epidemic febrile diseases. Has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving spasm and inducing resuscitation. Nowadays, it is often used to treat patients with the above symptoms, such as delayed onset of Japanese encephalitis and meningitis, severe pneumonia, septic septicemia, infant measles virus trapped blood, typhus, scarlet fever and so on.
Zhibaodan is suitable for pericardial syndrome with phlegm-heat stagnation. Mental delirium, body heat, irritability, thick phlegm, red tongue with yellow and greasy fur, slippery pulse, stroke, heatstroke and infantile convulsion all belong to phlegm-heat syndrome. Because this prescription is fragrant and pungent, it has the disadvantage of consuming yin and exhausting liquid, so it is not appropriate to use the language of delirium caused by yang excess and yin deficiency. Pregnant women should take it carefully. Modern medicine is often used to treat Japanese encephalitis, meningitis, cerebrovascular accident, heatstroke and hepatic coma. It belongs to phlegm-heat stagnation and severe coma.
