1. Clinical application of Wuzhuyu Decoction

1. Used to treat stomachache caused by deficiency and cold. Belching, dry retching, drooling, cold hands and feet, white tongue coating and slow pulse (such as chronic gastritis or ulcer pain) are often treated with dried ginger to dispel the cold and Codonopsis pilosula to invigorate the stomach yang, such as Evodia rutaecarpa Decoction. If the deficiency-cold condition is more severe and the dry retching does not stop, you need to grind equal parts of Evodia rutaecarpa (fried) and Paojiang into a powder and drink it with water or boil it in water and drink it warm.

2. Used to treat flank pain and liver-stomach disharmony. If the patient is suffering from heat, with right flank pain, vomiting and acid regurgitation, bitter taste in the mouth and red tongue, rapid and stringy pulse, or even pain after eating (the above conditions are common in gastric and duodenal ulcers combined with periulceritis, gastritis, etc.), you can use Wu Yu with bitter and cold medicines, such as Chuan Lian (i.e. Zuo Jin Wan), and then add or subtract according to the symptoms.

In addition, Wuyu is often used with orange seeds to treat hernia pain, with Psoralea corylifolia to treat "five o'clock diarrhea" caused by spleen and kidney deficiency and cold, and with Siwu Decoction to treat menstrual pain due to deficiency and cold (irregular menstruation and cold pain in the lower abdomen). Wuzhuyu Decoction combined with angelica and cinnamon can treat headaches caused by deficiency and cold. For external use, hot compress with Wu Yu salt on the abdomen can treat abdominal bloating; applying Wu Yu powder mixed with vinegar to the soles of the feet can treat drooling from the corners of the mouth caused by sores in the mouth and tongue of children, both have certain effects.
