Abstract: Rougui has a lot of functions, such as dispersing cold, relieving pain, benefiting joints, tonifying fire and helping Yang, warming blood vessels, tonifying body fluid, and vaporizing body fluid. But the best part of Rougui is that it can ignite and return to the original, and it can hide the fire of Sanjiao, which is not possessed by other drugs. There are few other warming drugs used to ignite and return to the original, which is unique to Rougui. In order to verify the unique role of Rougui, I made some observations and practices. Through the practice and observation of some special medical records, it is found that the ignition of Rougui can play a key and decisive role.
