Further Research On Tonifying Methods In Jin Gui Yao Lue

Tonifying methods is very important for curing disease means tonification and elimination. There are lots of researches in tonifying of JIN GUI YAO LUE, however, if every one of us could only see from his own angle, we could hardly see it as a whole. We do our search to find its big and full view basing on the ancestors' study, and try our best to grasp the true meaning of tonification used by Zhang Zhongjing.The subject is essential, that is syndrome differentiation first, then treatment formulation second with aims .Generally speaking, treating deficiency by tonification is the principle through ancient times and nowadays. Hence, tonification has to be used in deficiency or deficiency complicated by excess.Obeserving Zhongjing's formula and medicine, it is normal indeed.But when we see it carefully, tonification was also used in excess syndrome, although in the place of helpness.In fact, it inspire the prevention of evil qi do harm to healthy qi and supporting healthy qi to eliminate pathogens to later ages, and enlarge the range of tonifying and enrich the contents of tonification.Then how to tonify? It is natural that tonifying qi to the qi deficiency and tonifying blood to the blood deficiency. Almost all people know the direct tonification.Tonifying directly is good, then why seek from far what lies close at hand? That is one coin has two sides. If blood deficiency is due to the spleen dysfunction for deficiency of spleen qi, tonifying the blood could do harm to spleen and stomach. Even it could be absorbed ,it also be reduced that we could hardly tonify it enough! Consequently, we should treat disease from the root because tonifying directly could not always has effects, on the contrary,tonifying indirectly could supplement.Zhonjing's flexible methods should be adored in this respect.As saying goes, methods guide formula and medicine consist formula. We often tonifying deficiency with medicine. This paper look through the whole JIN GUI YAO LUE book ,observing every drug, chasing for the root of BEN JING and BIE LU, and thinking over ZhongJing's idea, comparing material nowadays and choosing tonification one by one for checking and further research of posterity .For contemporary material, choosing important contents and list to make the function going clear. Limited by the length, we could not list all tonification which seen as a pity.Having seen through the medicine and formula, it seems that we know the construction of ZhongJing's tonification little by little. Now we have the necessity to try to grasp the key points, and looking back and echo with preliminary tonifying ways.Moreover, clinical condition is commonly complicated.Tonification often couldn't be apart from the other methods, and cooperate with each other according to the urgent or not, move on or back. Only in this way, can we deal with the disease smoothly and skillfully. Zhongjing have a very good command of these conditions and set an excellent example for posterity.Zhongjing obeyed the ancients' words and enhanced them, and the posterity follow Zhongjing and developed them. ZhongJing's name from Ya-Sheng to a Medical Saint must influence the later generation deeply, including the tonification.Time flies by thousands of years, how to change by and by could not be concluded by some limited words. Now we try to summarize them in order to cast a brick to attract jade.
