Question on Baihu Jia Renshen decoction syndrome in Shanghan Lun / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

According to the texts of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the books of Maijing,Qianjin Yaofang,Qianjin Yifang,Taiping Shenghui Fang,Hxin Fang,and Jingui Yuhan Jing,the author drew the following conclusions:Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the present Shanghan Lun was very likely the written error Of Baihu Decoction,which was more close to the original meaning of Zhang Zhong-jing.From the period of Sui and Tang Dynasty,doctors had gotten new experiences in their practices.They added Ginsen into Baihu Decoction and named the new decoction"BaihU Jia Renshen Decoction",which was still in use today.Although there was not intrinsically difierence between Baihu Decoction and Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction,while the saying of"adding Renshen or not,should be decided by patient's Yuanqi"by doctor Shu Chi-yuan in Qing Dynasty had a significant impact.The erroneous views by some recent scholars can't be complied with,who advocated that the four main symptoms of Baihu Decoction syndrome should belong to syndrome of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction according to the original texts in Shanghan Lun.
