Abstract

The classified prescriptions from Chaihu decoction have been widely used in ancient and modern times. In spite of many previous research studies, the extensiveness and diversity of their applications have not been systematically studied. The author applied Chaihu Wendan decoction to treat phlegm and qi stagnation in the middle energizer, applied Chaihu Guizhi decoction to treat simultaneous disease of Shaoyang and Taiyang, applied Chaihu Xiexin decoction to treat simultaneous disease of the spleen, stomach, liver, and gallbladder, applied Chaihu Ermiao powder to treat simultaneous disease of hand Shaoyang and foot Taiyin, applied Chaihu Erchen decoction to treat simultaneous disease of Shaoyang and Taiyin, applied Chailing decoction to treat simultaneous disease of hand Shaoyin and foot Taiyang, applied Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang decoction to treat Shaoyang and Taiyin cold fluid retention and heat stagnation syndrome of Shaoyang complicated with Taiyin, applied Chaihu Xingren decoction to treat simultaneous disease of hand Shaoyang and hand Taiyin, applied Chaihu Sanren decoction to treat the disease caused by damp-heat stagnation in the hand Shaoyang and the foot Taiyin, and applied Chaihu Ganlu Xiaodu pellet to treat the diseases of hand Shaoyang and foot Yangming. The effects were all remarkable.
