The help of Traditional Chinese medicine to epidemic situation

Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of the Chinese nation with a history of more than two thousand years. From the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period to the prosperous and rejuvenated contemporary era, Chinese medicine has left a shining brilliance in the long history of mankind's fight against diseases. From the treatment of Japanese encephalitis in the 1950s and 1960s, the treatment of hemorrhagic fever in the 1990s, to the fight against SARS in 2003... Chinese medicine has contributed a lot.

This prescription is derived from the optimized combination of the four classic prescriptions of Maxingshigan Decoction, Shegan Mahuang Decoction, Xiao Chaihu Decoction, and Wuling Powder in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty. This prescription is suitable for patients with mild, common and severe new coronary pneumonia, and can also be used reasonably in combination with the patient's condition in critically ill patients.
