Drugs for warming the middle energizer and dispelling cold are also called warm traditional Chinese medicine. These drugs include aconite, aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, galangal, Evodia rutaecarpa, clove, fennel, mugwort leaf and so on. These drugs are pungent and warm, so they have the effects of warming the middle warmer to dispel cold, warming the middle warmer to restore yang and saving adverse reactions.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are two syndromes of internal cold: one is the invasion of cold pathogen, which is common in cold viscera syndromes such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cold pain, loss of appetite, abdominal flatulence, chills or irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea caused by palace cold, metrorrhagia and so on. Second, the deficiency of Yang and endogenous yin cold are common clinical symptoms such as cold sweat in limbs, chills, cold limbs, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, weak pulse, decreased blood pressure, pallor and so on. For the diseases caused by the former factor, the method of warming the middle warmer and dispelling cold should be adopted, and drugs such as dried ginger, Alpinia officinarum, Evodia rutaecarpa, fennel, clove and mugwort leaf can be selected. For the latter endogenous cold syndrome caused by the decline of Yuanyang, it is necessary to use the method of returning Yang to save the adverse reactions, such as ginseng, aconite and cinnamon. There are also some drugs for warming the interior, which have the effects of strengthening the spleen, regulating the stomach and regulating qi, and are often used to treat abdominal distension and chest rib fullness.

Most of the drugs for warming the interior are warm and pungent, which will hurt vaginal fluid if taken for a long time or improperly used. Anyone with heat syndrome or yin deficiency with internal heat syndrome should be forbidden to warm the interior.

Any medicine with dampness-eliminating function is called dampness-eliminating medicine, and the prescription based on dampness-eliminating medicine is called dampness-eliminating agent. Treating dampness syndrome with dampness-removing drugs and prescriptions is called dampness-removing.

Dampness is a disease, which is divided into external dampness and internal dampness. External dampness, caused by prolonged low humidity, or being caught in the rain or wading, and invasion of pathogenic dampness into muscle surface, is characterized by aversion to cold and fever, head swelling and brain heaviness, edema of limbs, and severe body pain. Most of them belong to muscle surface meridian diseases; Those with internal dampness, due to overeating and excessive drinking, lose spleen and yang, and dampness is endogenous. Symptoms are chest tightness, nausea and jaundice, turbid diarrhea, and edema of the ankle, which are mostly diseases of viscera and qi and blood. However, exterior dampness can invade viscera and interior dampness can affect muscle surface, so exterior dampness and interior dampness often meet each other and cannot be completely separated.

Damp evil is ubiquitous, and it can spread to any place, showing symptoms such as stagnation of spleen and stomach, dysuria, edema, stranguria, excessive phlegm, and different physical conditions. Wet can be different from cold and hot. Those who suffer from dampness should sweat a little to relieve it; For those with spleen and stomach dampness, incense should be used to eliminate dampness or spleen should be used to eliminate dampness; For symptoms such as dysuria, edema and turbid urine, water infiltration method should be used; Those with damp heat should clear away heat and damp; Those who are cold at the same time should be humidified by wet method. The following are divided into aromatization, light osmosis and diuresis, and heat-clearing and diuresis.

Matters needing attention in using dampness-eliminating drugs and prescriptions:

1. The treatment of water-dampness syndrome should be related to viscera and treated according to syndrome differentiation. In the human body, water is mainly in the kidney, water in the spleen and water in the lungs. Hydrophilicity is closely related to kidney, spleen and lung. If kidney deficiency is moist, it needs to be matched with drugs that warm and tonify kidney yang; Spleen deficiency and dampness generation need to be compatible with drugs for invigorating qi and spleen; When the lung can't be declared descending and the water loses its transport, it is necessary to combine drugs to declare descending lung qi.

2. Damp pathogen is heavy, turbid and sticky, and it is easy to block qi-flowing, so it is often combined with qi-flowing herbs in dampness-removing herbs, which means "moving dampness".

3. Drugs and prescriptions for eliminating dampness are mostly pungent and warm, or sweet and light, which is easy to hurt yin and consume body fluid. The syndrome of yin deficiency and body fluid deficiency should not be overused, even if necessary, it should be used together. Use with caution after illness or pregnant women. Although it is necessary to eliminate dampness and promote diuresis, it is also necessary to cooperate with spleen-strengthening products and give consideration to healthy qi.
