[clinical application] treatment of asthma

Use 1 hinge of arsenic and 1 liang of light Douchi to make 1000 pills of zijindan. Take 1-6 pills before going to bed every night. Start with 1-2 capsules, if there is no obvious reaction, then gradually increase to enough. 11 cases were treated, except 1 case with hilar lymph node tuberculosis, the rest could basically control the symptoms. It usually takes effect after 1 day, and the symptoms are basically controlled after 3 days. A few patients had mild headache, dizziness and facial edema, which could disappear within 3-5 days. In some cases, loss of appetite and increase of transaminase were found, which were restored to normal after the use of yeast tablets, vitamins, Chinese herbs such as jujube and Yinchen Decoction; but in some cases, cerebrospinal fluid appeared again, which seems to indicate that this product has certain damage to the liver. Some people think that arsenic has a special effect on bronchial asthma. However, it has also been pointed out that arsenic has inherent curative effect on tropical eosinophilic asthma, but has no effect on bronchial asthma. Therefore, it remains to be further explored which type of asthma arsenic is suitable for.

[discussion by famous experts] 1. In Bencao Yanyi: "arsenic, if it is used by malaria family, it can be used for both vomiting and diarrhea. It should be concentrated in mung bean juice, and still be used as cold water drink. "

② According to medical compromise, "malaria pill mostly uses arsenic poison. According to Materia Medica, it can be used as a medicine to spit when the wind and phlegm of malaria are in the chest and diaphragm. It can cover the dryness of its nature and can dry phlegm. "

③ According to the book of Materia Medica, arsenic is the poisonous gas of fire, which is refined again. Although the taste of Kaibao materia medica is bitter and sour, its gas is hot, and its nature is poisonous. Sour and bitter discharge, it can spit all malaria wind phlegm between the chest and diaphragm. It's too hot and poisonous, so you can't take it for a long time. It can hurt people. "Arsenic yellow is already toxic, and the more toxic it is when you see fire, the more people use arsenic to treat malaria. I don't know that in Neijing, it is said that summer hurts summer, and autumn will lead to malaria. The method is to clear summer heat, replenish qi, and strengthen spleen, which is the right treatment. It's not appropriate to use this medicine with great heat and poison. If you have strong vitality and phlegm, you will vomit a lot. Although you are temporarily relieved, you will lose a lot of Qi. "

④ According to the classic Fengyuan: "arsenic malaria is commonly used in the family. It can be used to vomit both in mouth and in mouth. If you are thirsty after vomit, you can drink it with mung bean soup. Arsenic is very poisonous. If you eat it by mistake, you will die. However, the disease of madness is necessary, which is better than the golden elixir. Kuzhi powder and alum are used together. Seven days later, the hemorrhoids will wither and fall. The nature of heat and toxin is to wither the meat. "
