Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] Traditional Chinese medicine dietary therapy formulation techniques. Background Technology
[0002] Unlike existing treatments for schizophrenia that solely rely on sedatives and sleep aids. This formula addresses the root cause of drowsiness, which is difficult to cure with lifelong medication. It focuses on the pathogenesis and transformation of the disease, comparing and differentiating the medication safety and efficacy needs of two types of patients with phlegm-fire disturbance due to different constitutions and physiological characteristics. It comprehensively utilizes the theories and techniques of food and medicine sharing the same origin and formulary, appropriately integrating various symptomatic medicinal ingredients for relieving depression and reducing fire, clearing the orifices and resolving phlegm, and tonifying qi and nourishing the body. Two safe, inexpensive, and effective medicinal diet formulas are formulated. The relative balance of yin and yang is the major premise; relieving depression and reducing fire, calming the liver and suppressing yang are the fundamental sources; and resolving phlegm, stabilizing the mind, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and tonifying qi and nourishing the body are the guarantees of efficacy. These three aspects are organically unified. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Formula 1 (the treatment principle is to calm the liver, subdue yang, relieve depression, resolve phlegm, nourish yin, and reduce fire): Gastrodia elata 15g, prepared licorice root 10g, Acorus tatarinowii 6g (added later), dried tangerine peel 15g, Albizia julibrissin bark 15g, bamboo shavings 15g, American ginseng 10g, Prunella vulgaris 6g, mung bean 20g, black rice 80g, roasted coix seed 30g, sheep liver 50g, mulberry 50g 100g of Chinese yam.
[0004] The formula uses Albizia bark to relieve depression and calm the mind, combined with Gastrodia elata (to calm the liver and subdue yang) and Acorus tatarinowii (to clear the orifices, resolve phlegm, calm the mind, and awaken the brain; due to its slightly low toxicity, the dosage is small, and it is combined with prepared licorice root, mung bean, tangerine peel, and bamboo shavings for detoxification and balance). Together, they address the root cause of liver stagnation transforming into fire and liver fire turning into phlegm, thus completely eliminating the root of phlegm-fire formation. Bamboo shavings can resolve phlegm, calm the mind, and harmonize the stomach; combined with tangerine peel and prepared licorice root, it can enhance phlegm-resolving and detoxifying effects, harmonize the various herbs, and nourish the spleen, stomach, liver, and kidneys without harming yang, ensuring good digestion, absorption, and distribution throughout the body. Prunella vulgaris is used... 6g, while clearing liver fire and eliminating the root cause of phlegm, is used in small amounts to avoid damaging liver yang. Appropriate amounts of American ginseng can invigorate qi, nourish yin, strengthen the heart, and protect the heart yang without harming it, thus promoting blood circulation throughout the body and preventing yin deficiency and spleen and heart deficiency caused by prolonged illness. Regarding the food-medicine homology ingredients: lamb liver, unlike lamb meat, is not considered "hot" and contains various vitamins, which can be combined with American ginseng, black rice, and yam to nourish yin, replenish blood, soften the liver, and improve eyesight; appropriate amounts of roasted Job's tears can dispel dampness, nourish vital energy, and prevent phlegm formation under conditions of qi stagnation and liver depression; the aforementioned herb, Albizia bark, has the effect of relieving depression and can work with black rice, yam, and lamb liver to nourish yin and replenish qi while preventing qi stagnation from transforming into fire. Black rice and mulberry nourish yin and ensure the body's yin-yang balance and water-salt balance; Job's tears, roasted licorice root, and yam can help invigorate the spleen and stomach, improve immunity, and iron yam is more effective than other types of yam.
[0005] Dosage and administration: Add the herbs listed before the mung beans in the prescription (Gastrodia elata, prepared licorice root, and Acorus tatarinowii (added later)). Wrap dried tangerine peel, acacia bark, bamboo shavings, American ginseng, and prunella vulgaris in gauze and tie it into a small bag. Put it into ingredients such as mung beans and lamb liver, add an appropriate amount of water, and cook into porridge. Take one dose daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
[0006] Precautions and Contraindications: 1. This product is contraindicated for those with wind-cold type common cold, yang deficiency, allergies, diarrhea, loose stools, cold limbs, and liver or kidney dysfunction; 2. Those with multiple mental illnesses should follow their doctor's advice; 3. Patients with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, or uremia should take this product under the guidance of a physician or pharmacist; 4. During the course of treatment, avoid spicy, greasy seafood, excessively cold or hot foods, and foods that deplete qi, such as radishes; 5. This product is contraindicated for women during menstruation and pregnant women; 6. If no improvement is seen after two weeks of taking this medicinal diet, seek medical attention promptly.
[0007] Formula Two: (For patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, yang deficiency and loose stools, and menstruating women with phlegm-fire disturbing the mind type of schizophrenia, who are contraindicated in Formula One) (Treatment principle: relieve depression, resolve phlegm, nourish blood and soften liver, strengthen spleen and stomach, warm uterus and nourish vital energy) Bamboo shavings 6g, fresh ginger 6g, dried tangerine peel 15g Cyperus rotundus, 15g Lycium barbarum, 15g Paeonia lactiflora, 10g American ginseng, 10g roasted licorice root, 3 jujubes, 80g black rice, 30g roasted Job's tears, 80g lamb liver, 100g mulberry, 150g Chinese yam.
[0008] In this formula: bamboo shavings are cooling in nature, so 6g is used, and it is combined with ginger (to neutralize the coldness, guide the medicine to the meridians, resolve phlegm, and warm the uterus). Gastrodia elata can both calm the liver and subdue yang, regulate menstruation, nourish and soothe the liver, and relieve pain without being too cold; tangerine peel and prepared licorice root are still used to eliminate phlegm and strengthen the body. It harmonizes the spleen and stomach, and regulates the effects of other herbs; wolfberry and American ginseng replenish qi and strengthen the heart, and nourish liver and kidney yin deficiency. The bark of the mimosa tree should be removed as it has blood-activating properties. This will worsen irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding; instead, use Cyperus rotundus, which has the effect of regulating menstruation and relieving depression. Add a small amount of jujubes (jujubes are warm in nature and should not be added in excess). (To avoid aggravating phlegm and heat), using a moderate amount of lamb liver can effectively nourish blood, soothe the liver, replenish qi, and nourish the heart; mulberries and iron yam should be used in larger quantities. The purpose is to better and more replenish qi, nourish yin, nourish blood, and strengthen the spleen; mung beans should not be used at all because their cold nature will aggravate damage to yang and menstruation.

Not suitable for those with high blood pressure, heart disease, or other conditions. Patients with diabetes or uremia must take this formula under the guidance of a physician or pharmacist; 3.
