my country has been conducting research on Chinese medicinal materials for thousands of years. Chinese medicine has played an important role in the history of Chinese medicine. Many Chinese herbal medicines can not only treat diseases, but also be made into health-care medicines. Gualou Xiebai Decoction is the main prescription for treating chest pain and chest and back pain. It has outstanding effects. However, some people often abandon the pure grain wine when using this prescription, and have complaints. They feel that this prescription is sometimes effective and sometimes ineffective in treating chest pain. What is the effect of Gualou Xiebai Guizhi Decoction?

Zhi Ke Xie Bai Gui Zhi Tang was originally a traditional Chinese medicine prescription for treating chest pain. The disease spreads from the chest downward to the middle of the stomach and wrist, and then the qi under the ribs rushes upward, causing a combined chest and stomach disease, with symptoms of partial solidity. This prescription is composed of Citrus aurantium, Allium macrostemon, cinnamon twig, Ginger, Magnolia officinalis, and Trichosanthes kirilowii. Ju Rui’s Citrus aurantium, Sichuan ginger and Magnolia bark can relieve lumps and eliminate stagnation, warm the yang and eliminate fullness.

Cinnamon twig can promote the Yang of the chest internally, and warm the Yin of the middle and lower Jiao downwards, thus promoting the flow of Yang and relieving adverse effects. If the Yin and cold Qi can be lowered, it will not rise up; if the Yang can be unblocked, the Yin and cold Qi will not accumulate inside. Trichosanthes kirilowii is slightly cold and moistening, and it opens the chest and eliminates phlegm. Xiebai is pungent and warm, and can promote yang and eliminate qi stagnation. Therefore, whether it is the obstruction of the Qi wheel that causes the Qi and blood in the heart to be blocked, or the Yin and cold evil that solidifies in the chest and stomach and obstructs the smooth flow of Qi and blood, all symptoms can be cured.

The syndrome of this prescription is caused by the decline of chest yang, obstruction of phlegm and stagnation in the middle of the body. The chest yang is deficient, body fluids cannot be distributed, and they gather to form phlegm. Phlegm is a yin evil that can easily block the circulation of qi and accumulate in the heart, causing fullness and pain in the chest. When the chest yang is deficient, the yin and cold qi will rise against the flow, so there will be symptoms of qi rushing against the ribs and swelling in the chest. The treatment should be to promote Yang and eliminate stagnation, resolve phlegm and warm Yang. Ju Rui Trichosanthes is sweet and cold in nature, and is good for the lungs. It can clear phlegm and resolve knots, promote yang and resolve knots, relieve cough, resolve phlegm and dispel cold. It can disperse the stagnant darkness in the heart, resolve phlegm and turbidity in the upper part of the body, promote the flow of qi and blood in the heart to expand the chest. It is the main medicine for treating chest pain and is the main medicine.

Citrus aurantium warms the yang and dissolves stagnation, warms the yang and eliminates fullness. The two are used together to assist the main medicine in expanding the chest and dissolving stagnation, warming the yang and eliminating fullness, and promoting yang, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. They are both assistant medicines. Assisted with cinnamon twigs to promote yang and dispel cold, reduce adverse effects and balance the flow. The combination of these medicines can invigorate the chest yang, reduce phlegm and turbidity, eliminate the Yin cloud, and make the Qi flow smoothly, then the symptoms of chest pain and qi reflux can be eliminated.
