柴胡桂枝湯老方新用

資料來源:張景岳中醫藥研究中心  所屬地區:中國大陸


  柴胡桂枝湯是《傷寒論》中治療太陽和少陽並病的方劑,是由小柴胡湯合桂枝湯各半量而組成,主要用於太陽少陽合病引起的發熱惡寒、肢體疼痛等症。隨著其臨床運用和研究的深入,發現其有很多新的用途。

  一、十二指腸潰瘍 柴胡桂枝湯對用H2受體拮抗劑治療無效的十二指腸潰瘍有良好效果,每日1劑,水煎服,10天為1療程。研究表明柴胡桂枝湯可抑制胃蛋白酶的分泌,從而減低胃液對黏膜的損害作用,同時柴胡桂枝湯能影響促胃泌素的分泌,加強十二指腸黏膜的防禦作用。

  二、癲癇 研究認為癲癇放電現象是細胞內貯存的鈣在釋放過程中,鈣結合狀態的改變使與鈣相關的細胞內蛋白質、細胞膜離子通道也發生變化,出現了神經元突髮型病理放電。柴胡桂枝湯可使一些相關性改變的每個步驟都受到抑制,從而達到抗癲癇作用。有人用本方治療84例癲癇病人,每日1劑,10劑為1療程,結果治癒25例,顯效41例,好轉13例,無效5例,總有效率高達94.05%。

  三、反覆感冒 反覆感冒多與人的機體免疫功能低下有關,有研究發現柴胡桂枝湯能增強機體的免疫功能。實驗表明柴胡桂枝湯可使造血幹細胞向淋巴細胞分化,並使正常幼鼠的免疫機能活化。據報道柴胡桂枝湯治療易感冒兒童急性上呼吸道炎症患者18例,結果顯效12例,有效 4例,無效2例,並且發現症狀改善最明顯的是發熱,其次是食欲、咳嗽、噴嚏、清涕。

  四、病毒感染性發熱 柴胡桂枝湯有良好的解熱、抗病毒、抗感染的作用。用於治療某些病毒感染引起的發熱有良好的效果,並對感染引起的驚厥有效。據報導有人以本方加生石膏、川芎和蒼朮治療病毒感染性發熱112例,每日1劑,重者可1日2劑,一般服藥5劑有效,總有效率為87.5%。

  五、神經衰弱 神經衰弱是大腦皮層興奮和抑制過程失去平衡所致,多見頭痛頭昏,焦慮煩燥,疲倦乏力,注意力不集中,失眠健忘,心悸氣短,胃納減退,脘腹痞滿,甚至皮膚過敏、陽痿、遺精等。研究表明柴胡桂枝湯對人體內分泌系統有一定的調節作用,尤對腦皮質的興奮和抑制有雙向調節作用,可調節和消除神經衰弱引起的一系列症狀。有人以柴胡桂枝湯加味治療神經衰弱60例,每日1劑,14天1療程,一般1~2療程即可獲效。



  六、腦缺血 反覆發作的腦局部血流一過性減少,於相應供應區出現短暫神經症狀,約25~40%在5年內發展為完全型腦梗死。實驗表明柴胡桂枝湯對腦部神經元的缺血性損傷有保護作用,同時可促進血液循環,增加腦血流量,有良好的改善腦缺血的功能。

由柴胡桂技湯治“肢節煩疼”體會“少陽主骨”

劉永臣  内蒙古開鲁縣中醫院

  患者左××,女,58歲。2003年5月8日初診。患骨質疏鬆症10年,一直腰酸背痛。5月7日不慎騎自行車摔倒,當即腰部偏左侧劇痛,10多分鐘後始勉强爬起。回家後自服高鈣片、乙烯雌酚、骨折挫傷散不效,反增腹痛,大便秘結,肢體浮腫。今日来拍x線片示第五腰椎壓縮性骨折,腰椎廣泛密度减低,腰椎彎向左侧,第三、四腰椎骨刺形成骨橋。方以骨質增生丸改湯加味,3劑罔效。轉方用複元活血湯,仍無寸功。因思《内經》有“少陽主骨”之論(《素问·熱論》),且仲景傷寒論柴胡桂技湯有治“肢節煩疼”之功,乃用下方:柴胡20g,黄芩15g,黨参30g,半夏15g,甘草10g,生姜15g,大棗12 枚,桂枝15g,白芍20g,元胡20g,煅自然銅20g,鹿含草15g,杜仲炭30g,川断30g,骨碎補20g。药進1劑,腰腹痛均缓,肢腫盡消,大便亦轉至正常。遂以上方為主﹐連服18劑,連平素腰酸背痛亦告消失,随訪至今未復發。
