In life, people can never avoid getting sick because of the pressure of life, the worries of work, the weather changes and many other reasons. People always suffer from big and small illnesses, especially in this season. The weather is like the little girl's face. It may be sunny one moment and cloudy and rainy the next. Many people catch colds in spring, and Ma Huang Fu Zi Xixin Decoction is a very good medicine for treating colds.

In late spring and early summer, because the weather changes frequently, people always change from thin to thick clothes, and from thick to thin clothes, and the temperature fluctuates. In addition, it is windy in spring, and it is easy to catch a cold, suffer from diseases such as bronchitis, and get inflamed. You need to prepare some Ma Huang Fu Zi Xixin Decoction at home.

It is mainly used to treat yang deficiency of the body and exogenous wind-cold syndrome. Fever, severe aversion to cold, even with thick clothes and quilts, the coldness cannot be relieved, the patient is tired and drowsy, and the pulse is deep and weak. Sudden muteness. Sudden hoarseness, even loss of voice, or sore throat, chills and fever, fatigue and drowsiness, pale tongue with white coating, and deep and weak pulse. (This prescription is commonly used for colds, influenza, bronchitis, sick sinus syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis. Allergic rhinitis, sudden blindness, sudden muteness, laryngeal paralysis, skin itching, etc. are caused by yang deficiency and cold.

This prescription is designed for the condition of yang deficiency and subsequent wind-cold. A person with yang deficiency should not have a fever, but now he has a fever and severe aversion to cold. Although he wears thick clothes and quilts, he still feels cold. This is because he is exposed to wind and cold from outside, and the evil and the good are fighting against each other. The pulse of the superficial symptom should be floating, but now it is sinking and weak, and he also feels tired and drowsy, which means that his yang qi is deficient. This is a symptom of Yang deficiency and exogenous infection, with both exterior and interior coldness. If only pungent and warm dispersing medicines are used, the patient will not be able to sweat due to Yang deficiency, or even if he sweats, Yang will be lost along with the fluid. Treatment should be combined with supporting Yang and dispelling exterior coldness. Ephedra in the formula is pungent and warm, and can induce sweating and relieve exterior symptoms, so it is the main medicine. Aconite is pungent and hot, warms the kidney and assists yang, and is a minister drug. Ephedra acts on the surface to open up the skin and expel the pathogens outward; Aconite warms the interior to invigorate the Yang Qi and expel the pathogens outward. The two medicines work together and complement each other, and are a commonly used combination for boosting yang and relieving exterior symptoms. Asarum enters the lung and kidney meridians, has a strong aromatic smell, and is good at moving around, penetrating the inside and outside. It can not only dispel wind and cold, help ephedra to relieve the symptoms, but also stimulate the true yang energy in the kidneys, and work with aconite to warm the interior, so it is an adjuvant. The three medicines are used together, with both tonifying and dispersing effects, so that the external wind and cold evils can be dispersed on the surface and the Yang Qi inside can be maintained, then the external infection caused by Yang deficiency can be cured.

Ma Huang Fu Zi Xixin Decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine that has no side effects on the human body. We can drink some of it when we are unwell or infected with a cold. However, we need to remind everyone that although Chinese medicine is not harmful to the human body, you should not drink it all the time. As the saying goes, all medicines are poisonous. If you are sick or feel unwell, you should still see a doctor and follow the doctor's advice and receive symptomatic treatment.
