Differentiation and analysis of "gallbladder coldness" treated by Wendan Decoction
Through tracing the source of medicine, differentiating between phlegm and coldness, analyzing decoction, comparing similar decoctions, this paper promoted a differentiation and analysis of "gallbladder coldness" , which is the major disease treated by Wendan Decoction. This decoction was once thought to be derived from three ancient books as the main treatment of "gallbladder coldness" . However, most textbooks of "formulas of Chinese medicine" suggested that Wendan Decoction should be mainly used to treat "disharmony between gallbladder and stomach, syndrome of phlegm-heat attacking internally" . It seemed that the function of the medicine had turned to the opposite, from "coldness" to "heat" . This paper also revealed that ginger dosage had increased during the development of this decoction. Therefore, Wendan Decoction should be regarded as the major decoction for treating "gallbladder phlegm" , a syndrome of stomach depression and gallbladder stagnation, stagnation of endogenous retention of phlegm.
