Drug prevention is the key.
For the prevention of diseases, besides isolating and maintaining good environmental, personal and dietary hygiene habits, we should also pay attention to drug prevention.
Drug prevention in traditional Chinese medicine not only aims at eliminating pathogenic factors, but also emphasizes strengthening the body resistance and prevention.
Hey? Yuan Chao-Fang's "On Pathogenic Diseases" "If people feel sick because of the waiting qi, the sick qi will become easily infected, even destroying the door and extending to outsiders, so it is necessary to take medicine in advance and guard against spells." In ancient Chinese medicine, doctors used oral Chinese medicine to prevent infectious diseases, and also wiped the whole body with powder, put it on, hung it in the house or smoked it.
1. Oral Chinese medicine to prevent epidemic diseases
When preventing epidemic diseases, Chinese medicine pays attention to both eliminating pathogenic factors and strengthening the body resistance. This concept is embodied in the organic compatibility of preventive drugs. "The Legacy of Su Wen" contains: "Xiao Jin Dan ... took ten tablets without any epidemic. Kim? Ge Hong is the author of Emergency Prescriptions after Elbow, which introduces cholera, malaria and other infectious diseases, and lists more than 40 preventive prescriptions in the book. Artemisia annua was the first to treat malaria, and garlic and ebony were the drugs to prevent plague, especially the preventive prescription based on diarrhea. Ge Hong pointed out: "Family members can get benefits first, but they will not be infected. "Ge Hong used white powder to prevent epidemic diseases (also used in the formula of deleting powder), and stressed that taking black beans, new rice and wine stains regularly to prevent epidemic diseases should not be mixed." "Elbow Backup Emergency Prescription" uses dry powder (Fructus Cannabis, Semen Platycladi, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Herba Asari and Radix Aconiti Lateralis) to prevent diseases. "Qianjin Fangyao" uses red bean pill prescription (red bean, podophyllum, ghost arrow, cinnabar and realgar) to break the epidemic.
"Yan nian" focuses on the evil spirits of plague, and it is convenient to use black bean soup (black bean sauce, fulonggan, and infantile feces). Ming? Zhang Jingyue's Jingyue Boxing uses Fujian tea cakes to disinfect the mouth to prevent diseases from entering the mouth.
Are you clear yet? Yu Maokun's "Acne House Jin Jing Fu Ji" completely records:
During the period of Qin Long in Ming Dynasty (1567~ 1572), a folk doctor in Taiping County, Anhui Province inoculated the acne rash of patients with mild smallpox into the nasal cavity of healthy people to gain immunity. Known as "nasal vaccine", it is the earliest folk human pox vaccine (the history of Huangshan City).
It was not until 1772 that the British doctor Jenner discovered the immune method of vaccination. In terms of clothing methods, it is emphasized that during the epidemic period, it is necessary to "dress in court", "dress in the month" and "dress for the whole family".
This not only emphasizes the time of taking medicine-daily and monthly when the epidemic is prevalent, but also emphasizes the universality of the number of people taking medicine.
2. Drink epidemic prevention medicinal liquor
The emergency prescription for drinking Tu Su wine elbow records: "Eliminating epidemic disease makes people not infected with fever and typhoid fever". The prescription is prepared from rhubarb, largehead atractylodes rhizome, cinnamon, platycodon grandiflorum, pepper, aconite root, Smilax China, etc. And put forward: "From childhood ..... one person drinks one epidemic-free, one family drinks one epidemic-free, and three dynasties medicinal liquor is drunk, and I put it back in the well ..... there are wells inside and outside the house, and everyone knows the medicine for keeping warm and invigorating qi." The wine method recorded in Xiao Pian Fang prevents the plague, the wine recorded in Bei Ji, the wine quoted from the Secret of Outer Taiwan, the wine recorded in Shou Shi Bao Yuan and the wine recorded in Song Feng inform the epidemic.
It can be seen that Tu Su wine has a good effect on preventing epidemic diseases.
Apply this powder all over the body to prevent epidemic disease.
Both Elbow Jifang and Jiqianzi Prescription record that "Xiong Huang San"-spleen and stomach prescription is applied to the five internal organs of the heart, forehead, nose and ear door to prevent epidemics. "After Elbow" records that "Dr. Yao, the prescription for avoiding fever-Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica and Ligusticum (equally divided) are treated together, sieved and coated with rice flour." "Get ready for $ 1000" calls this formula talcum powder. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, I liked to use realgar wine for external application, which also had good results.
4. Hang, wear and smoke drugs to avoid the epidemic.
It is recorded in the Secret Records of Yan Nian and Prepare for a Thousand Women, that mulberry roots are hung on doors and people wear them to prevent the plague. "After Elbow" records the epidemic prevention methods of killing ghosts and burning prescriptions with small fire in front of the house in the morning and evening and at midnight. Taiyi Liu Jinfang and Tiger Head Killing Ghosts were used to cool down for the first time. The prescription takes realgar and orpiment as the main drugs, grinds them into powder, puts them into crimson bags, wears them on the body and hangs them on the door. If there is a big epidemic, it should be burned in the atrium. Warm patients also burn and smoke. The party was reprinted by Emergency and Secrets of Foreign Taiwan Province. In addition, the "female green crumbs" in "Elbow Queen" were all worn by residents before posting.
"Hu Lengfang" uses seven-flavor ghost-killing pills, and "Bei Qian Jin Fang" uses seventeen-flavor ghost-killing pills, which are burned at Bi Wen to kill ghosts and eliminate evil spirits. Take it with you if the epidemic can burn. There are many records in Compendium of Materia Medica. In places where epidemic gas is prevalent, drugs such as Atractylodes lancea, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Flos Caryophylli and sulfur can be burned indoors to disinfect the air and prevent pollution.
