小柴胡汤

　　小柴胡汤及加减方在国内被广泛用来治疗传染病、呼吸系统疾病、心血管及血液疾病、消化系统疾病、泌尿生殖系统疾病、过敏性疾病、精神、神经及运动系统疾病、妇产科疾病、外科疾病等多种疾病。
　　小柴胡汤出自《伤寒论》，是张仲景根据邪犯少阳，致少阳枢机不利而设，历来被认为是“和法”的代表方。
　　小柴胡汤共由七味药物组成，即柴胡、黄芩、人参、半夏、甘草、生姜、大枣。
　　从组成药物的性味来看，其配伍有三个特点：柴胡、黄芩性味均属苦寒，但柴胡味辛，气味俱薄，具有轻清升散的特点，而黄芩气味较重，降泄作用较强，两药相配，性寒而升降并用。生姜、半夏性味均属辛温，但生姜以辛散作用为主，而半夏具有降逆特点，两药相配性温也是升降并用。人参、大枣、甘草性属甘。
　　从组成药物的药效配伍来看，其配伍特点也可归纳为以下三个方面：①柴胡、黄芩合用，透邪解郁，清泻胆热，达到和解少阳的目的，使气郁得达，火郁得发，以祛邪为主。②生姜配半夏为止呕圣药，使胃气得以和降，以调畅气机为主。③人参、大枣、甘草配伍，有补中益气的作用，防患于未然，以扶正为目的。
　　综合小柴胡场的性味功效，可以看出该方集寒热、升降、补泻于一方，既各奏其功效又相辅相成，构成一个有机整体，从而达到寒温并用、攻补兼施的目的。
　　小柴胡汤的主治是什么？《伤寒论》第10条指出：“伤寒中风，有柴胡证，但见一证便是，不必悉备”，仲景明确提出了小柴胡汤的适应证。
　　从《伤寒论》第96条可以看出，柴胡证有两类证候即必然证和或然证。
　　必然证是指“寒热往来，胸胁苦满，嘿嘿不欲饮食，心烦喜呕”四大症状，这些症状是临床上必然出现的，反映疾病的本质，所以只要出现这些必然证，便可确定为柴胡证。　　
　　或然证是指“或胸中烦而不呕、或渴、或腹中痛、或胁下痞满、或心下悸、小便不利、或不渴、或咳者”，这类症状既可见，也可不见，既可多见，也可少见，所以不一定要具备。
　　从逻辑上来断，柴胡证应是指其必然见证，即寒热往来，胸胁苦满，嘿嘿不欲食，心烦喜呕。
　　从柴胡证的病机来看，寒热往来属少阳半表半里的典型热型，少阳属半表半里，又为枢机，出可达表，入可在里，邪入其地，则正邪分争，正胜则热，邪胜则寒，故可出现寒热往来，它属传统意义上和解法的范畴。但胸胁苦满，是邪犯少阳、经气不利之故，盖足少阳之脉下胸中贯膈，循胁里，正当胸胁之分，此证按理应属经络表证。而嘿嘿不欲饮食则属胆火内扰，影响胃之功能，已完全属里证。心烦不安，则属胆火内郁上扰，也属里证。因此，从病机来看，柴胡证有里证，有表证，也有半表半里证。
　　从这个角度分析，小柴胡汤被认为是和法的代表方，不是因为它仅仅可以和解半表半里之邪，而是因为它寒热并用，升降并用，攻补兼施，把各种方法特别是相反相成的方法有机地结合起来，这才是和法的真正含义。
　　小柴胡汤这张方子和枢机、解郁结、畅三焦、达气机，它不仅可以促进五脏六腑新陈代谢，而且可以调畅人的精神情志，所以发热的疾病用它可以退热、抑郁的精神状态，用它可以解郁消愁，那么脾胃肝肠和胰腺的病变用它，可以促进代谢，妇科病用它可以调整月经和治疗带下，所以古人就说小柴胡汤这张方子基本上可以左右逢源，左翼右有，临床上不管男女老幼，外感内伤都可以用。
　　小柴胡汤及其变方治疗的病症的确不少，但必须按中医学辨证论治的治疗原则来应用。具体说来有以下几个方面：
　　一是必须具备柴胡证，这是应用本方的基本指征，这些指征即可出现于表证，也可出现于里证、半表半里证。要按辨证论治的治疗原则，遵仲景“但见一证便是，不必悉具”之旨。
　　其二，要师其法而不泥其方。张仲景立小柴胡汤，寒温并用，攻补兼施，达到通利三焦，调达上下，宣通内外，和畅气机的目的。方中药物变化可以根据疾病的变化，按其性味功效随证加减。
　　其三，合其它方药随证化裁加减，灵活应用。方剂是治法的具体体现，小柴胡汤“和法”本质就是融各种方法于一方。所以在临床运用中可以根据病情需要，合其它方，甚至数方于一方，充分体现小柴胡汤组方特点。

        张仲景的小柴胡汤在临床上被医家们广泛运用于外感发热、胃寒、呕吐、肺水肿、肝胆等疾病的治疗，由于疗效独特，它不仅对传统医家的组方用药有很好的指导作用，许多现代医家也对这一方剂极为推崇。

　　感冒后咳嗽常迁延难愈，对抗生素不敏感，用小柴胡汤治疗：若患者表证已除，久咳不愈，多白痰，易咳出，胸肋疼痛、舌淡、苔薄白腻。脉不浮或见细而无力，可用小柴胡汤加细辛、干姜、马蔸铃、陈皮、苏子等；若见咳吐黄痰、舌红、苔黄者，可合用麻杏石甘汤；若病人还有明显的表证，或复感外邪，可随其风寒、风热而用柴胡桂枝汤、柴胡麻黄汤、柴胡银翘散、柴胡桑菊饮之类。
