TCM master XU Runsan's experience in delaying female reproductive aging with essence-rich materials by nourishing vital essence
Reproductive aging is a major challenge currently facing the medical field.Centered on the regulatory laws of the female reproductive cycle,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)master XU Runsan has established a syndrome differentiation and treatment system based on the "kidney,liver,spleen-reproduction-stimulating essence-thoroughfare,conception,governor,belt vessels-uterus" framework,and created an effective experiential formula for regulating menstruation and promoting pregnancy,i.e.,
Tiaochong Formula
.The formula employs the therapeutic principles of tonifying kidney and filling essence,nourishing liver and enriching blood, and strengthening spleen and replenishing
qi
.Based on analogical thinking,it incorporates "blood-and essence-rich substances",such as deer antler for simultaneous replenishment of essence and blood,animal fetal membranes(
Placenta Hominis
and
Mantidis Oötheca
) for consolidating and filling kidney essence,and animal-derived sinew and bone substances(
Asini Corii Colla
,
Mauremydis Carapax et Plastrum
)for nourishing liver blood.These actions together promote fullness of essence and blood,harmony of the thoroughfare and conception vessels,nourishment of the uterus,and generation of offspring,thereby delaying reproductive aging and improving reproductive health.In clinical application,attention should be paid to timing and herbal compatibility.The key therapeutic principles include carefully distingui
shing deficiency and excess, avoiding indiscriminate formula stacking, adopting a gradual treatment strategy,and facilitating the distribution and absorption of medicinal effects,so as to precisely target the pathogenesis and achieve rapid and effective clinical outcomes.
