A bag of small Bupleurum sweeps 20 diseases, is it true?

It is inaccurate to say that a bag of small Bupleurum root sweeps 20 kinds of diseases. Xiaochaihu Decoction can not replace the diagnosis and treatment of modern medicine. When using it, we should follow the theory and principle of traditional Chinese medicine, treat according to the specific disease, and pay attention to dosage, application method and contraindicated population. It is inaccurate to say that a bag of small Bupleurum can sweep 20 diseases. Xiaochaihu is usually referred to as Xiaochaihu Decoction, which is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription with the effect of reconciling Shaoyang and mainly used to treat Shaoyang diseases. Although Xiaochaihu Decoction is widely used in clinical Chinese medicine, it cannot sweep 20 diseases. Xiaochaihu Decoction mainly targets diseases including: Cold and fever, chest and hypochondrium bitterness, restlessness to eat, upset and vomiting, etc. These diseases are mainly related to Shaoyang meridian diseases, such as cold, fever, malaria, cholecystitis, gallstones, etc. However, for other diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, etc., Xiaochaihu Decoction may not be suitable, and may even produce adverse reactions. When using Xiaochaihu Decoction or any traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to follow the theory and principle of traditional Chinese medicine and treat according to the specific disease and constitution. At the same time, the use of traditional Chinese medicine also needs to pay attention to dosage, use method and contraindication group. If you suffer from other diseases, you should seek medical advice in time and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. In short, Xiaochaihu Decoction is an effective Chinese medicine prescription, but its efficacy should not be exaggerated, let alone replace the diagnosis and treatment of modern medicine.
