[Processing and Storage]

Blast-Fried Ginger is Dried Ginger, which is stir-fried until the surface is slightly black and the inside is brownish yellow. The charcoal that is not formed tends to warm the middle and dissipating cold. It is mainly used for abdominal pain diarrhea due to deficiency and cold; Blast-Fried Ginger charcoal is specially used for warming. It can stop menstrual bleeding and is suitable for hemorrhagic syndrome.

Dried Ginger was first recorded in Shennong Bencao Jing, and its processing of materia medica product Blast-Fried Ginger was first recorded in Han's "Disease Caused by Cold Treatise". By the Song Dynasty, in addition to "cannon", Dried Ginger was recorded in Taiping Shenghui Fang, and there was another "cannon charcoal", namely Carbonized Ginger. Therefore, it can be considered that Carbonized Ginger is another processing of materia medica product of Dried Ginger starting from the Song Dynasty. Miao Xiyu of the Ming Dynasty pointed out Dried Ginger in "Processing of Materia Medica Dafa": "If postpartum blood-deficiency fever and hemostasis are both stir-fried, warming the middle can be used, and lung qi can be used to dispel cold evil and stop vomiting." Bencao Chongyuan pointed out: "Later generations call Dried Ginger Blast-Fried Ginger. Ginger tastes pungent. If it is processed, the pungent taste will be slightly reduced. If the processing of materia medica is excessive, the essence will not exist, so it is called Blast-Fried Ginger. Carbonized Ginger, its taste is slightly bitter but not pungent, its texture is frivolous and unrealistic, and it has the function of deficient Blast-Fried Ginger." The "National Chinese Materia Medica Processing of Materia Medica Standards" clearly distinguishes the two: "Blast-Fried Ginger warming the middle and dissipating cold, used for deficiency-cold of spleen and stomach abdominal pain vomiting and diarrhea. Carbonized Ginger warms menstruation and stops bleeding. Indications Vomiting metrorrhagia and metrostaxis, yin deficiency loss of blood." Therefore, it can be considered that Blast-Fried Ginger and Carbonized Ginger should be two different processing of materia medica products of Dried Ginger.

After Dried Ginger is processed of materia medica into Carbonized Ginger, its function changes from warming the middle, restoring yang to unblock pulse, warming the middle and dissipating cold, warming lung and resolving fluid retention, to warming the meridian to stop bleeding, and treating metrorrhagia and metrostaxis. , yin deficiency loss of blood. This is because Dried Ginger turns black during high-warm purgation processing of materia medica, and the pungency becomes bitter and salty, which goes down, blackens and stops bleeding. Although the pungent and hot nature of ginger is gone, the pungent and cool nature is still there, so it can be removed. It can treat stagnant heat in the blood without being cold, and can stop hematemesis without causing stagnation. It is several times more effective than other medicines that use black to stop bleeding.
