The Experience of Treating Liver Cirrhosis with Jiao (角) Medicine
This paper summarized the clinical experience of treating liver cirrhosis with
jiao
(角) medicine (a triple drug combination), and explained the characteristics of combining the medicinals. As
jiao
medicine, the combination of Tubiechong (
Eupolyphaga seu Steleophaga
), Duanlonggu (
Fossilia Ossis Mastodi Praeparatum
) and Duanmuli (
Concha Ostreae Praeparatum
) is used in clinical practice to activate blood and dissolve stasis, soften hardness and dissipate masses in the treatment of nodules in the liver cirrhosis and splenomegaly. Dafupi (
Pericarpium Arecae
) and Baimaogen (
Rhizoma Imperatae
) in combination with Jiaomu (
Semen Zanthoxyli
) are used to soothe and promote the function of
sanjiao
(三焦), treat the qi, blood and water simultaneously in treating ascites in the liver cirrhosis. Yinchen (
Herba Artemisiae Scopariae
), Baizhu (
Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae
) and Guizhi (
Ramulus Cinnamomi
) together can warm the center and fortify the spleen, drain dampness and reduce jaundice, so as to treat yin jaundice associated with cirrhosis. The combination of Jinqiancao (
Herba Lysimachiae
), Yujin (
Radix Curcumae
) and Jineijin (
Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli
) has the function of clearing heat and promoting gallbladder function, softening hard masses and expelling stones, and can be used to treat liver cirrhosis with cholecystitis and gallstones. Zhebeimu (
Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii
), Lizhihe (
Semen Litchi
) and Zaojiao (
Fructus Gleditsiae
) together can dissolve phlegm and dissipate masses, rectify qi and dispel lump, and is often used to treat gynecomastia in liver cirrhosis. At the same time, it is emphasized to give treatment individualized to patient, season and locality, and use
jiao
medicine alone or in compound formula based on modern research, so that the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of liver cirrhosis could be further improved.
