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“支節煩疼”體 會“少 陽主骨”

劉永臣 內蒙古開魯縣中醫院


  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,當即腰部偏左側劇痛,10多 分鐘後始勉強 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。今日來診拍x線片示第五腰椎壓縮性骨折,腰椎廣泛密度減 低,腰椎彎向左側, 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。轉方用復元活血湯,仍無寸功。因思《內經》有“少陽主骨”之論(《素問·熱 論》),且仲景傷寒論 柴胡桂技湯有治“支節煩疼”之功,乃用下方:柴胡20g,黃芩15g,黨參30g,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,川斷30g,骨碎補20g。藥進1劑,腰腹痛均緩,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,隨訪至今未復發。
  體會:《靈樞·經脈篇》有“膽足少陽之脈……,是主骨所生病者”諸論;傷寒論146條更有“傷寒六七日,發熱,微惡寒,支節煩疼,微嘔,心下支結,外 証未去 者,柴胡桂枝湯主之”之語,多年來,一直未引起足夠重視。據資料介紹,柴胡桂枝湯用於骨科疾病見於日本大塚稔(柴胡桂枝湯對骨科疾病的療效,國外醫 學·中醫中藥 分冊,1996,46(6):86),對骨質疏鬆症,目前西醫仍採用高鈣和雌激素,中醫多宗補益肝腎、強筋壯骨為主進行治療。本例用常法數易 不效,而用仲景法投 劑則效,說明有其臨床基礎。
  關於“支節”,方有執認為是“四肢百節”;張錫駒則認為“支者,經脈之支也;節者,骨節之交也”。如此,“支節”不僅包括了現代所稱之“關節”,還包 含了調 控關節之經脈,即與神經、血管、淋巴系統等有關。《素問·五臟生成篇》又雲:“諸筋者,皆屬於節”。那麼,支、節、筋、骨構成的“骨”系統,實際上 包涵了四肢百 節的全部活動功能,亦即少陽所主之骨和仲景所稱之支節。
  肝主筋、腎主骨,眾所周知。而少陽主骨實際上也是順理成章之事。肝藏血所以主筋,腎藏精所以主骨。而少陽為樞;少陽三焦為人體原氣之總司,主持諸氣; 少陽膽 內附於肝,貯存肝之“精汁”,疏泄於胃腸而營行三焦,故少陽膽與三焦關乎人體氣血、津液、精之生化、疏泄者甚多,是以人體精微物質的生化疏泄,其正 常與否,取決 於少陽之樞,而筋骨之榮枯亦然。這樣理解,我們不僅對內經“凡十一臟取決於膽,少陽主骨”等有了深刻認識,而且還將對小柴胡湯及其系列方能治 多種疾病加深理解, 是為“思求經旨,以演其所知”云。D3
