Abstract:
[Objective]To analyze the thought of Professor HE Ruoping in applying Xiaoyao Powder,in order to expand the clinical application of Xiaoyao Powder,and improve the ability of clinical syndrome differentiation and prescription selection.[Methods]Through daily consultations with teachers,collecting medical cases and literature retrieval,this paper discusses the new interpretation of the modification of Xiaoyao Powder.It also presents typical medical cases treated with this formula for conditions such as menstrual disorders,anxiety disorders,ovarian cysts and human papillomavirus(HPV)infection.Furthermore,it summarizes Professor HE's clinical experience in applying Xiaoyao Powder.[Results]Professor HE suggests modifying the original Xiaoyao Powder by removing Mentha haplocalyx Briq.,replacing Zingiber officinale Rosc.with Zingiber officinale Rosc.(dried)to enhance the formula's ability to warm the middle and disperse cold.Additionally,she adds Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis,thus strengthening the formula's overall effect of promoting blood circulation and tonifying the spleen.Cases treated with Xiaoyao Powder as the base formula such as menstrual disorders,anxiety,ovarian cysts and HPV infections shared the common pathogenesis of liver Qi stagnation and spleen deficiency.By combining differentiation of syndromes with appropriate treatment methods,including regulating and harmonizing Qi and blood,clearing and draining heat and blood stasis,resolving masses and transforming blood stasis,and clearing heat and draining dampness,good therapeutic results were achieved.[Conclusion]Professor HE's clinical application of Xiaoyao Powder often removes Mentha haplocalyx Briq.,and uses Zingiber officinale Rosc.(dried)instead of Zingiber officinale Rosc.added with Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.She believes that this formula can be used for gynecological,psychiatric and other diseases that belong to liver depression and spleen deficiency.Different diseases can be treated with the same formula,expanding the scope of treatment and fully reflecting the role of syndrome differentiation and treatment.It is worth promoting and learning from.
