It was the first prescription which has properties in resolving the flesh and sweating, and harmonizing construction and defense. The composition of this prescription was rigorous, of a great variety, and used in a wide range, thus it was valued by ancient physicians. The syndromes of include two components which were original syndrome and similar syndrome. To make deep understanding of the pathology of original syndrome can not only provide theoretical basis for expanding the range of application of Cinnamon Twig Decoction but also establish strong theoretical foundation for systematic research of the similar syndrome. Cinnamon Twig Decoction emphasizes on harmonizing construction and defense. Only slight sweating of the whole body is needed as treatment when the excesses of the six qi (wind, cold, summerheat, damp, dryness, and fire) invade the body through the exterior, collapse barriers of human body, and even make the patient in terminally ill. This magic statement apotheosizes Cinnamon Twig Decoction fully. Can Cinnamon Twig Decoction really strengthen body resistance and relieve superficies magically? The answer may let people who have illusion on this prescription disappointed and even sighed extremely, because is rich in materials which will cause inflammation and it is only indicated in 'non-inflammatory periods' to relieve symptoms clinically. |
