What are the functions of licorice and dried ginger soup?

Licorice and dried ginger soup is a soup made with licorice and ginger. In fact, it can be used to treat typhoid fever, colds, dizziness, coughs, enuresis and other problems. However, if you want to maximize its efficacy, it must be used in combination with other medicinal materials.

1. Typhoid fever: Lu Cangzhou treated a woman with typhoid fever, which was caused by Yin and Yang, red face, curled feet, diarrhea, restlessness and insomnia. Some scholars have different opinions on whether it is mainly cold or warm, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion. Lu gave him Zixue and Jinkui Lizhong Pills, and slowly drank ice-soaked licorice and dried ginger soup, and he recovered. And tell him: diarrhea and curled feet are symptoms of four-contrary syndrome. If you use the usual method, the heat in the upper part of the body will become more severe. Now use Zixue to reduce it, and slowly use sweet and spicy methods to warm the interior. This is to treat heat due to cold. Everyone was impressed.

2. Cold syndrome: This prescription was used to treat 34 cases of cold syndrome (8 cases of epigastric pain, 2 cases of acid vomiting, 2 cases of abdominal distension,

There was 1 case of intestinal rumbling and diarrhea, 2 cases of chest pain, 13 cases of dizziness, 2 cases of cough, and 4 cases of abdominal pain during menstruation), all of which were effective. It is believed that what Chinese medicine calls cold syndrome actually includes the pathological and physiological phenomenon of excessive excitement of the parasympathetic nerves; it is believed that dried ginger is spicy and irritates the oral mucosa after taking it, which may cause reflex sympathetic nerve excitement and counteract the parasympathetic nerve effect; licorice has a certain antispasmodic effect on gastric smooth muscle, thus achieving the desired effect.

3. Dizziness: Mr. He, male, 80 years old, farmer. He has been suffering from chronic bronchitis, is old and weak, and has been bedridden for half a year. Recently, he has developed dizziness and tinnitus, as if he was on a boat or a car, and he felt that things were spinning. The tinnitus was like the tide. He could not get up and dared not open his eyes. At the same time, he had coughing, shortness of breath, spitting saliva, and chest tightness and discomfort. Auscultation revealed scattered small and medium-sized bubbling sounds in the right middle and lower lung fields. Anti-inflammatory and antitussive drugs such as tetracycline, sulfadiazine, and Ma Xing cough syrup were used but to no avail. Modified prescriptions such as Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin and Bai Li Gu Jin Tang were also used but to no avail. The dizziness becomes worse day by day, the coughing and spitting do not stop, the patient wants to drink hot drinks and has no appetite. The face is sallow, the tongue coating is thin white, and the pulse is deep and thready. The suspected diagnosis is vertigo, with coldness and emptiness in the lungs, inability to transform water vapor, failure of the clear yang to rise, and failure of the turbid yin to descend. Prescription: 15g of roasted licorice, 12g of roasted ginger, 3 doses. After taking one dose, the dizziness was sharply reduced and the coughing and saliva improved. After taking two doses, he was able to get up and move around. After taking three doses, the dizziness was gone, all symptoms basically disappeared, and his spirits were greatly boosted.
