论葛根汤属太阳伤寒代表方

On Gegen Decoction Belonging to Representative of Taiyang Cold Damage Syndrome

一般认为太阳伤寒的代表方是麻黄汤,而葛根汤只治疗太阳伤寒的兼证。在《伤寒论》原文中,二者皆治太阳伤寒,如仔细比较,知葛根汤专治太阳伤寒表实证,是专一治表的方剂;而麻黄汤较葛根汤发汗力弱,能发散表郁而重于解除肺气郁闭,是表里同治而重于治里的方剂,故葛根汤当属太阳伤寒的代表方。

Mahuang Decoction is generally believed to be the representative of Taiyang cold damaage syndrome, while C, egen Decoction is only for complex Taiyang cold damage syndrome. In the original text of Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases, both are the prescriptions for Taiyang febrile diseases. After the careful comparison, it is found that Gegen Decoction is the specific prescription for the exterior excess syndrome ; while Mahuang Decoction has weaker perspiration than C, egen Decoction and it can remove the exterior depression with emphasis on the removal of lung depression, it is the prescription for.both the interior and the exterior with the emphasis on the interior. It is clear that Gegen Decoction is the representative of Taiyang cold damage syndrome.
