I used a formula to solve the patient's 3 years of hypertension, always understand that the drug is to treat the disease, not inhibition, antihypertensive drugs are a strategy to slow down the army, about the liver and yang hyperactivity, Chinese medicine may have more ways.
I have been in Chinese medicine for decades, Chinese medicine has been in the water for so many years, the current situation of Chinese medicine is understood by many people, misunderstood, not understood, denigrated, not accepted, etc., of course, there is support, but in the minority.
I have always been unable to understand this situation, Chinese medicine can be passed down for so long, there must be something superior. Later, I wondered if it would be related to the development of modern medicine, a complete and clear system, always more easily accepted by people.
But what do these things bring? Patients clearly know their own disease, why they are sick, but what is the role of this, many diseases know that the hospital still has no way, not again and again surgery or drug control, the effect can be seen.
But when I say this, I am not saying that I am denigrating Western medicine, because as a doctor, the first task is to cure the disease, and to be able to cure the disease is the concern of everyone. I have always felt that if I could, Chinese and Western medicine should be combined, learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other. If you can have better results, why not enjoy it?
In the same way, if Chinese medicine can better solve the disease, why should we give up the near and far?
Take high blood pressure, this is not called hypertension in Chinese medicine, in Chinese medicine there is one of the most high blood pressure is hepatic yang hyperactivity, what is called hepatic yang hyperactivity? Let me talk about it with a medical case.
I have come to such a patient before, very strange, big summer, the head is wrapped in a white towel, the towel is still very wet, constantly dripping, making the patient's whole body. Understood, the patient is essential hypertension, three years ago began to headache, dizziness, palpitations, antihypertensive drugs are not stopped, take the medicine slightly more effective, do not take the medicine immediately rebound.
Recently, the problem has become more serious, the headache and dizziness are very severe, and the head is still hot, so there is a situation where the patient's head is wrapped in a wet towel, saying that it can be slightly more comfortable. I remember the patient also said that the hospital doctor only let him take antihypertensive drugs, but the effect was average, so he wondered if there would be any good way to do chinese medicine.
I began to understand the situation, carved a diagnosis, and saw that the patient's pulse was like a sinking string, the tongue was yellowish, the tip of the tongue was red, and the tongue was fat. On closer inspection, the patient's cheeks are slightly red, the lips are dry, the consciousness is very clear, and the language is fluent. Careful questioning revealed that the patient had menopause and had lost appetite.
Then opened a square: Lai Zi, Stone Cassia, Ripe Ground, Mint, Ground Dragon, Raw Ochre, Hook Vine, Heavenly Winter, Raw Oyster, Stone Calamus, Bai Zhi, Raw Plaster, Jujube Kernel.
The result? After the patient took 4 doses, the condition improved greatly. The white towel wrapped around the head, no longer need to be done. The body is not hot, and the mouth is not thirsty. During the follow-up consultation, I adjusted the original formula, removed the raw plaster and baizhi, and added bai qi. Continue to use.
After 4 doses, the patient's symptoms are flattened. A month later, the patient came to the hospital for a follow-up examination, indicating that his blood pressure was stable and there was no discomfort in the past.
What's the point here? Let's go back to the beginning of the question, what is the liver and yang hyperactivity? Liver yin is insufficient, yin deficiency is hyperpung. It's like the wife has no attraction and can't control her husband. How to know if the patient's liver yin is insufficient?
Patients with pulse strings, which are insufficient liver and yin, are tense in the veins. The moss is yellowish, which is insufficient liver yin, with hypothermia. The tip of the tongue is red, which is insufficient liver and yin, hypothermia internal disturbance, heat forced blood line. Cheeks are red, the head is hot, thirsty, this is yin deficiency and heat, steamed on the head surface.
Of course, there is another important reason here, that is, the patient is 53 years old and has menopause. Women at this stage are themselves prone to kidney deficiency and insufficient liver and kidney yin.
Insufficient liver yin, liver yang is hyperactive. Hyperactivity of the liver and yang, just like a tornado in the summer, the heat forces the blood to go, do you say that the patient's blood pressure can not be high? Can her head not faint?
So look back at the fangzi, here the head, cooked earth, winter is used to nourish the yin of the liver and kidneys. Yin does not lose, in order to catch the yang. The wife is beautiful, and the husband can come home on time.
Secondly, stone cassia, raw ochre, hook vine, oysters, can clear the heat and calm the liver and yang. Gypsum smells, clears the heat and relieves the fire, removes annoyance and quenches thirst. These suppress the hyperactive liver and yang.
Next, mint, stone calamus, bai zhi, kai, qingli leader. Sour jujube kernels can nourish the heart and calm the mind. Earth dragons can clear the heat and calm the alarm. The patient's disturbed state can be improved.
In this way, the combination of the whole party solves the patient's situation from the root cause and cures the disease. I have talked so much, in fact, there is no purpose, that is, ah, for a lifetime of struggle for Chinese medicine, others do not understand the magic of Chinese medicine, can I not understand?
I understand Chinese medicine, so I can't bear the demise of Chinese medicine and not being accepted by everyone, this will be a big loss, let the new things rise at the same time, give the old things a little time, take their essence, is the right way.
