The efficacy of Fangfeng porridge

The effects of Fangfeng porridge can be mainly divided into the following points. Let me introduce them to you below.

The effect of Fangfeng porridge

1) Fangfeng is good at dispelling wind, which can dispel wind-cold and wind-heat. It has similar effects to Schizonepeta, so the two medicines are often used together. Fangfeng can dispel rheumatism and relieve pain, and is often used with Qianghuo, Fangji, etc. to treat rheumatic arthralgia and other symptoms. Fangfeng treats tetanus and has the effect of dispelling wind and stopping spasm, but it is often used with Tiannanxing, Tianma, Baifuzi and other medicines. In addition, this product has hemostatic and antidiarrheal effects. For example, it is used for abdominal pain and diarrhea, and is often used with white peony root, white atractylodes, tangerine peel, etc.; if it is used for blood in the stool and metrorrhagia, it is generally used with charcoal.

(2) Fangfeng, as the name implies, is a drug for treating wind and relieving pain. It can dispel wind and cold and relieve the symptoms, as well as dispel rheumatism and relieve pain. Because it is slightly warm and not dry, and its medicinal properties are relatively mild, it can also be used for wind-heat carbuncle, red and swollen eyes, throat discomfort, etc. It can be used together with Schizonepeta, Mentha, Forsythia, Gardenia, Scutellaria, etc. As for dispelling wind and relieving spasm, its power is relatively weak. For example, when used to treat tetanus, this product can only be used as an auxiliary medicine and cannot be used alone. Schizonepeta and Fangfeng are often used together to dispel wind and relieve the symptoms, just like ephedra and cinnamon twigs can induce sweating and relieve the symptoms, which is also a complementary effect. However, the dispersing power of Schizonepeta and Fangfeng is not as good as that of ephedra and cinnamon, and the effect is relatively mild. As for the comparison between Schizonepeta and Fangfeng, Schizonepeta has a stronger sweating power, while Fangfeng has a better effect of dispelling wind and relieving pain. According to clinical experience, stir-frying Fangfeng can reduce its wind-dispelling power, but it has the effect of stopping diarrhea and can be used for diarrhea. Fried Saposhnikovia divaricata can also be used for patients with metrorrhagia and light-colored blood. Compared with roasted ginger which can warm the meridians and stop bleeding, its function is similar but less effective.

Fang tastes pungent and sweet, and is slightly warm in nature; it enters the lung, spleen, liver, and bladder meridians; it has a fragrant and ascending aroma;

It has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving exterior symptoms, removing dampness and relieving pain, soothing the liver and relieving spasms, killing insects and relieving itching;

It is mainly used to treat exogenous wind-cold, headache, stiff neck, dizziness, wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, joint pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea, intestinal bleeding, laceration and stroke, difficult measles, itchy rubella, and initial stage of sores.
