Analysis, Effects & Indications of Xuanfu Daizhe Decoction

1. Pathogenesis Analysis

Inula and Hematite Decoction The pathogenesis targeted by Inula and Hematite Decoction is mainly weakness of the stomach qi, internal obstruction of phlegm-turbidity, and upward reversal of the stomach qi. After treatments such as sweating, vomiting, and purging in exogenous diseases, the healthy qi is damaged, the spleen and stomach are weak, the transportation and transformation are weak, resulting in the endogenous production of phlegm-turbidity. The phlegm-turbidity blocks the middle jiao, and the stomach qi cannot descend smoothly but instead reverses upward, resulting in symptoms such as fullness and hardness in the epigastrium, and incessant eructation. Among them, weakness of the stomach qi is the root, internal obstruction of phlegm-turbidity is the branch, and upward reversal of the stomach qi is the key pathological manifestation. This pathogenesis is relatively common clinically and is closely related to the occurrence and development of various digestive system diseases.

2. Effects

Inula and Hematite Decoction has the effects of suppressing the adverse qi and resolving phlegm, replenishing qi and harmonizing the stomach. Through the action of suppressing the adverse qi of drugs such as Inula flower and Hematite, the upward-reversed stomach qi can be calmed down. At the same time, with the synergistic effect of phlegm-resolving drugs such as Pinellia ternata, the internal obstruction of phlegm-turbidity is eliminated. Coupled with qi-tonifying and spleen-strengthening herbs such as Ginseng, Chinese Date, and Prepared Licorice, it helps to support the healthy qi, regulate the spleen and stomach, and restore the transportation and transformation function of the spleen and stomach, thus achieving the purpose of treating both the root and the branch.

3. Indications

Clinical symptoms include stuffiness or distension in the epigastrium, painless on palpation, frequent eructation, or nausea, vomiting, hiccups, etc. The tongue coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is slow or slippery. This formula is widely used in the treatment of digestive system diseases and has good curative effects on various discomfort symptoms caused by upward reversal of the stomach qi. For example, when the above symptoms appear in diseases such as chronic gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and functional dyspepsia, Inula and Hematite Decoction can be considered for syndrome differentiation and treatment.

IV. Analysis of Formula Principles

By using these herbs that replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, it can supplement the qi of the spleen and stomach, enhance the transportation and transformation function of the spleen and stomach, enable the production of qi and blood to have a source, and make the vital qi sufficient. Sufficient vital qi helps to resist pathogenic factors, and at the same time provides a material basis for other drugs to play a therapeutic role, so that the whole prescription can dispel pathogenic factors without damaging the vital qi, achieving the purpose of strengthening the healthy qi and dispelling pathogenic factors.

4. Harmonize Medicinal Properties

Honey-Fried Licorice also has the effect of harmonizing various medicinal herbs. It can alleviate the drastic properties of drugs such as Inula, Haematitum, etc., making the properties of the prescription more gentle and avoiding damage to the human body caused by overly drastic drugs. At the same time, Honey-Fried Licorice is mutually compatible with other drugs and functions synergistically, making the medicinal power of the whole prescription more coordinated and enhancing the therapeutic effect of the prescription.
