The

Maziren

pill was first described in the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases." It is mainly used to treat spleen syndrome and constipation. At present

it is generally believed that The main pathogenic mechanism of this formula is heat in the stomach and dryness in the intestines

and the ruling herb is hemp seed kernel

which is classified as a laxative

and the primary ingredient is

Huomaren

which is classified as a moisturizer. The above misunderstandings about Main treatment mechanism

ruling medicine

categorization are the primary reasons for the abuse of this prescription for the long-term treatment of habitual constipation. Based on textual research and analysis of prescriptions

we believe that the root cause of the above problems is that the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" does not indicate a unified unit of measurement to indicate the dosage of drugs. In addition

Cheng Wuji’s study was deficient-it did not confirm that stomach heat was the key subject of the formula

and mistakenly considered fire hemp seed as the key drug of the formula.We believe that a burning stomach lies at the root of the pathogenesis of the prescription. The burning stomach is not healed

the dry intestines are difficult to heal

the stomach heat is drained

and the dry intestines are self-moisturizing. The prescription has the largest dosage and strength

which is Key Medications; classifying this prescription as a cold medicine is not only in line with Zhongjing’s original intention

but it also has practical significance in limiting the abuse of this prescription.
