Professor Zhu Liangchun often uses Radix Puerariae to treat intractable diarrhea, cervical spondylosis and thirst.
Professor Zhu thinks: ① Pueraria lobata is good at ascending clear and descending turbid, and it needs to be reused for persistent diarrhea; ② Pueraria lobata can relieve spasticity and dredge the pulse, which is effective for relieving muscle spasm. In addition to syndrome differentiation, patients with cervical hyperplasia must also reuse Pueraria lobata. ③ Pueraria lobata can promote yang, promote fluid production and quench thirst, which is an important drug for treating thirst. ("Zhu Liangchun Medication Experience Collection")
note:
Compendium of materia medica, yuan, etc. It is said that pueraria lobata "produces fluid to quench thirst", while materia medica is harmful and useless, as well as Chongqing Tang essays. It is a slip of the pen to say that Pueraria lobata "produces fluid to quench thirst" and the word "raw".
Dr. Huang He believes that the "thirst quenching" of Pueraria lobata lies in both "promoting fluid production" and "promoting fluid production".
Pueraria lobata is cool and moist, clearing the stomach and benefiting the spleen, so it produces fluid; Pueraria lobata is also endowed with pungent and sweet nature, which promotes the rising of Yang-clearing qi of Yangming and Taiyin, so it can produce fluid.

02 evaluation and analysis
Pueraria lobata, pungent, sweet and cool, belongs to the spleen and stomach meridian and is also a dispersant. Its gas is light and tastes thin, and it is good at ascending and dispersing, and good at descending.
Removing fingers to disperse wind and heat, dispersing exterior evils, reducing stomach fire, relaxing muscles and tendons to reduce fever, and penetrating rash spots;
Ascending the finger, ascending stomach qi, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, ascending Yangming and Taiyin, clearing qi and stopping diarrhea, ascending Yang Qi, strengthening brain, stopping dizziness and headache, induced by various drugs;
Tong refers to meridians, qi and blood, qi and blood, brain, heart, nose and blood stasis;
Descending refers to clearing the stagnant fire and turbid gas in the stomach and pushing down the turbid gas in the large intestine, so that the qi and blood in the upper depression can be dispersed.
Pueraria lobata has the functions of relaxing muscles and tendons, relieving pain, reducing fever and penetrating rash, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, and invigorating yang to stop diarrhea, and is good at relaxing muscles and tendons, relieving spasm and dredging collaterals and qi and blood.
Indications are exogenous wind-cold or wind-heat, early onset of epidemic febrile diseases, impenetrable macula, fever and thirst, thirst due to yin deficiency, toothache due to heat vomiting, big head plague, febrile convulsion, constipation, diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, and alcoholic jaundice.
Commonly used amount: decocted. It is suitable for relieving muscle and fever, warming yang and stopping diarrhea.
Use with caution those with excessive fire due to yin deficiency or excessive fire due to deficiency of the lower body, otherwise it will easily lead to back-rushing, dizziness and tinnitus; Use it with caution for those with cold stomach, and avoid it for those with excessive sweating.
Modern pharmacological research: Pueraria lobata has the functions of dilating coronary artery, improving blood circulation of myocardium and brain, improving peripheral circulation, resisting arrhythmia, inhibiting platelet aggregation, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, regulating gastrointestinal movement, relieving spasm, relieving fever, enhancing phagocytosis of macrophages, resisting allergy, oxidation, cancer and improving learning and memory functions.
In the large-dose pharmacodynamic experiment, 9 patients were treated with Radix Puerariae from the aspects of viscera (heart, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, brain), muscle surface, meridians, blood vessels, bones and joints. It can be seen that Pueraria lobata can be used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, myocarditis, hypertension, scleroderma, diarrhea, thirst, pain and other diseases.
