The most powerful antiperspirant Chinese medicine

Sweating is a normal part of the body's metabolism. It has the effect of detoxifying the body, excreting waste from the body and making the body feel relaxed. If you sweat a lot for no reason, it is a symptom. The main reasons are physical weakness, kidney deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, etc. In traditional Chinese medicine, drugs with astringent and antiperspirant properties can be used. Antiperspirant and Qi-strengthening drugs are suitable for patients with night sweats and night sweats. Common prescriptions include scutellaria baicalensis, floating wheat, ephedra root, oyster shellfish, etc., and should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Cornus officinalis tastes sour and astringent, and is slightly warm in nature. It can nourish the liver and kidneys, retain essence, replenish blood and qi, and is a common medicine for nourishing health. In secret recipes such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Shenqi Pills, Zuogui Pills and Yougui Pills, Cornus officinalis is often seen.

Because it is a medicine that balances yang and yin, it can be used regardless of whether the yang is sufficient or insufficient.

Zhang Xichun, a famous modern Chinese medicine practitioner, is very fond of Cornus officinalis and uses it as an emergency medicine. She said: "Cornus officinalis can astringe the original Qi, consolidate dislocated parts, and invigorate the spirit." And it can astringe the positive Qi without astringing the dampness. Zhang once used a single ingredient, Cornus officinalis, to cure a patient's critical condition.

Effects of Chinese herbal medicine Cornus officinalis

Tonify the Deficiency and Strengthen the Body

Zhang Xichun, a modern Chinese medicine practitioner, said: "Cornus officinalis is more effective in resolving colic than ginseng, Astragalus and Atractylodes!" He also said: "Among the medicines for resolving colic, Cornus officinalis is the best." Cornus officinalis is good at clearing liver fire, and can restrain the blood and qi that are about to disperse in the human body. It is good at treating critical symptoms of deficiency of both yin and yang, such as wheezing, night sweats, asthenia, loss of spermatorrhea, urinary incontinence, and loose bowel movements.

In clinical practice, 50 to 100 grams of Cornus officinalis is often boiled in a broth and taken orally.

Nourishes Yin and arrests sweating

The liver is the Jueyin meridian, and when it is extremely weak, it may cause profuse sweating, or heat without cold, sweating with heat dissipation, or both heat and sweating, which are dangerous symptoms. Because the gallbladder and liver are the exterior and interior of each other, the sudden fever and sweating symptoms of the Jueyin Liver Meridian are similar to the symptoms of alternating cold and heat in the Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. Treatment requires clearing liver fire and replenishing yin to eliminate heat and cold.

"Shennong Bencaojing" says that Cornus officinalis is responsible for heat and cold, which is actually the heat and cold of the extreme deficiency of the liver meridian. Because Cornus officinalis can astringe sweat and clear liver fire, it is reasonable to use it to treat diseases such as extreme deficiency of the liver meridian, alternating cold and heat, and excessive sweating due to the loss of original Qi.

Clear liver fire and soothe the liver

The "Inner Canon of Medicine" says: "Excessive anger will damage the liver." The liver stores blood and controls the tendons. When the liver is injured and qi and blood are deficient, the tendons lose nourishment and become stiff, causing ignorance, difficulty in stretching and bending, and pain. The gallbladder and liver store the Yang fire. If the liver is weak, the Yang fire will not be able to circulate throughout the body, and will be stagnant in the meridians, causing pain due to stagnation of blood and qi. Treatment should be multi-pronged, including clearing liver fire and soothing the liver, while replenishing blood, invigorating qi, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

"Shennong's Herbal Classic" says: "Cornus officinalis can warm the middle, expel dampness, cold and arthralgia." Cornus officinalis can not only clear liver fire, but also soothe the liver and promote blood circulation. Therefore, it is often used in clinical medicine to treat leg pain caused by liver deficiency, and it has the effect of clearing liver fire and relieving arthralgia.

Astringent

Cornus officinalis has astringent properties and invigorating effects. It can moisten the blood vessels in the lungs and stomach without causing the risk of blood stasis. For patients with long-term cough and hemoptysis caused by blood and qi reflux, or vomiting blood due to liver deficiency and excessive fire damaging the stomach network, clinical medicine often uses Cornus officinalis plus Dragon Bone, Oyster Mugwort, or Panax notoginseng powder for consumption, which often has unexpected effects.
