Five elements: Mongolian medicine is based on the ancient simple five elements (earth, water, fire, qi and qi). It is considered that the development and growth of plants are closely related to the "five elements". Soil is the foundation of plants, the source of plant absorption and the foundation of life. Water is not only a solvent for nutrients needed by plants, but also a transport factor in plants, which can moisten vegetative plants and promote their growth. Fire is the energy and power factor of plants; The external sunlight and temperature make plants grow and mature. Qi is a biochemical factor in plants, which can nourish plants and promote their growth. The vacancy in plants is the gap factor, which is the factor that substances form cavities, and the outside is the empty sheep where all objects exist.
Six flavors: Drugs have different flavors. These flavors are created by the complex role of five elements in the formation of drugs. To sum up, it can be divided into six kinds: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent. Sweet, mainly the content of soil and water, supplemented by other elements in the five elements. Sour taste, in the five elements, fire and earth are the main elements, supplemented by other elements. Salty taste, in the five elements, water and fire are the main elements, supplemented by elements. Bitter taste, among the five elements, water and gas are the main ones, supplemented by other elements. Bitter taste, mainly soil and report content, supplemented by other elements in the five elements. In addition to a single taste, there is a "neutral taste" produced by the combination of more than two flavors, and the combination of bitterness and sweetness produced by the transformation and interaction of flavors, which becomes a complex "compound taste". Although the change is more complicated, it can still be summarized in the category of basic six flavors. Efficacy: Although there are many kinds of drugs, they are all divided into cold and heat, that is, yin and yang. Hot drugs are mostly born in hot places and sunny places, and get plenty of sunshine. Only when the positive drug is full of drug power can it have a complete hot drug, which has the functions of tonifying yang, promoting digestion, expelling wind and cold, resolving phlegm and eliminating dampness. Excessive application can cause dizziness, headache, fever, polydipsia and other symptoms. Cold medicine is mostly used in cold places and shady places, so you can get enough Yue Hui. Only when negative drugs are full of potency can they have complete cold potency, and they have the functions of calming the nerves, keeping fit, smoothing the skin, removing blood stasis and reducing fire. Excessive application will cause stomach yang weakness, convulsions and so on. According to the degree of cold and heat of drugs, Yin and Yang are divided into intermediate type and compound type, and there are further differences between heat in heat, cold in cold, cold in cold, heat in heat and cool in warm. To treat negative diseases (cold diseases), use positive drugs (warm drugs); To treat positive diseases (fever), use negative drugs (cold medicine). This is a universal law. Property: the nature or pharmacological action of a drug. The basic principle of Mongolian medicine is to use the properties of Mongolian medicine to regulate the excess of He Yi (qi), Sheila (fire) and Badagan (body fluid). If the three are balanced and coordinated, they will be healthy and disease-free. If the three are out of balance, it will lead to various diseases and even death. In clinical medication, the ancients classified the medicinal properties of drugs into eight categories: heavy, fat, cold, plain, light, astringent, hot and sharp. Among them, heavy, fat and cold inhibit the syndrome of "He Yi", while light, astringent and cold inhibit the syndrome of "Sheila". Heat, sharpness and fertilizer produce "Sheila" (fire); Heavy, fat, cold and dull are the four characteristics of the "eight great cadres" (cold) So pay attention to excessive and long-term use. He Yi, Sheila and Badagan are the theoretical core of Mongolian medicine.
Drug function: also known as drug effect, there are soft, heavy, warm, fat, solid, cold, dull, cool, harmonious, thin, dry, slightly hot, light, sharp, astringent and dynamic 17.
