[discussion of famous experts] 1. Supplement to the meaning of materia medica: "Lingxiao flower is an important medicine for treating pain in blood, and it can replenish Yin very quickly. It can be used in women's prescriptions. "

② "The compendium of Medical Sciences:" the flowers and roots of Campanula are sweet and sour, and cold, and the stems and leaves are bitter. They can separate the blood and remove the hidden fire in the blood. Therefore, they mainly produce milk, metrorrhagia and other diseases, as well as the syndrome of blood heat generating wind. "

③ "The classic of Materia Medica" says: "Bignonia is a powerful medicine for blood circulation into the liver. Therefore, it can be used cautiously for women to have residual diseases of milk, as well as other syndromes such as collapse in the middle, Bai Huang, blood stasis, cold and heat, and emaciation. "

④ "Materia medica says:" the Qi of Bignonia is cold, its taste is salty first and win, bitter then kill, know into the blood and heat knot undoubtedly. The cloud of the second Danxi river is very quick to replenish Yin. On the brink of the lake, it is said to enter the blood and go away to subdue the fire. It is not only for passers-by. For example, Miao Xiyong thought that it was a good medicine for blood circulation, or according to the so-called "Ben Cao" for treating Baihuang, it was a good way for blood circulation to close and cloud. He knew that Zhen quanyun was a good doctor for hot wind, and "RI Hua Zi" was a good doctor for treating redufeng, which covered and transformed redufeng. Although nature is the main body of action, it must be able to replenish Yin and then eliminate heat, toxin and wind. If you doubt that it can stop the blood circulation, why does it fear bittern and salty? If you eat more salty food, it will hurt the blood. Those who fear the blood circulation will not be more severe than those who do. Danxi said that he could walk alone because he was defensive, but he didn't think so. "

⑤ "Materia medica Chongyuan": "recently, it was used as a medicine to pass the meridians and lower the fetus. Zhongjing Biejia Jianwan, also used to eliminate Baihuang, must not be the product of abortion. The word "Yangtai" in this classic should be the false ear of abortion. "

⑥ "Fengyuan of Ben Jing" says: "Lingxiao flower is used for dispersing evil blood. "

⑦ "Seeking truth from Materia Medica" says: "ordinary people with fire in the blood can see Yang and blood stasis, wind itching, collapse and rash. All those who are caused by blood stasis and blood heat should use this (Lingxiao flower) to regulate and treat. It is specially used for purging heat, removing heat and activating blood. It's the medicine of lung carbuncle. It's useful for you. Pregnancy with this ke an, with the accumulation of blood stasis, blood stasis to the meaning of the fetus is safe. It is said that pregnant women should not take it, for fear that they have no blood stasis, and that they will use it in vain, for fear of giving birth to others. This is a medicine that must be used in women's Department, but it should be used to treat ear diseases. "

⑧ Ben Cao Zheng Yi: "the flower of Lingxiao, Wu Pu said that Shennong, Leigong and Qibo are all pungent. Bianque is bitter and salty. It can eliminate the heat of clearing blood. Therefore, it can promote blood circulation and stagnation, and can also cure the collapse of the belt. This classic specially deals with women's residual diseases of lactation. At the time of primipara, yin and blood are already deficient, and solitary Yang is too strong. It is most suitable for this kind of sour, salty and slightly cold to enter the blood, so as to protect the consumed Yuan Yin and absorb the floating Yang flame. It can be seen that the treatment of postpartum in the ancients was mainly to help Yin and suppress Yang, which was just opposite to the vulgar view in recent years. When it comes to the treatment of collapse, it means that it can control the collapse of blood deficiency. Baihuang blood block, cover also for blood heat too much, burning Shuo into blood stasis, also not Yin cold coagulation Baihuang block can be seen. It is also called cold and heat and thin, but it is also blood deficiency and internal heat. "
