Cicada molt is the shell of the nymph that falls off when the nymph of the cicada feathers, slightly oval and curved, with the effect of evacuating wind and heat, diphtheria, diaphragm, blind retreat, antispasmodic and so on. This flavored medicine is often used in the treatment of pediatric diseases. Teacher Wang Shaojie, a famous pediatric doctor, summarized the application of cicada metamorphosis in pediatrics as follows——
Diseases of the respiratory system
Pediatric allergic cough, allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, etc. are very common in respiratory diseases, and often combine into diseases, and their pathogenesis is related to wind and evil. Treatment should be based on wind removal, and cicadas can relieve the wind, dispel evil spirits, and its cool nature, especially suitable for the evidence of wind and heat. At the time of proof, it can be used with peppermint, burdock and other medicines to jointly exert the effect of dispersing wind and heat. When the evil qi is gone, the function of the lungs is restored, and the symptoms are alleviated. Cicada metamorphosis can also clear the throat, improve allergic cough, bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis after the nose dripping sore throat, itchy throat cough and other symptoms.
In addition, most of these children are allergic and are susceptible to infection, climate, exercise, inhalation or exposure to irritants, dust in the air, dust mites in the room, animal dander and other factors induced or aggravated. Allergens enter the respiratory tract, causing allergic reactions, tracheal spasm, nasal mucosal congestion, paroxysmal irritating dry cough, episodic wheezing and shortness of breath, nasal itching, sneezing and other symptoms, mostly at night and (or) early in the morning, exacerbated. Parents are prone to think that their children are caused by a cold and do not care much, or blindly give their children antibiotics, and the symptoms continue to heal.
Professor Wang Shaojie believes that cicada metamorphosis is an insect drug, strong channeling, good search for meridians, dispel evil and detoxification, not only can relieve wind, but also antispasmodic, anti-allergic, relieve bronchospasm, fight allergic reactions caused by allergens entering the human body, and can effectively alleviate symptoms. In clinical treatment, it can be combined with insect drugs such as dilong and zombie silkworm to enhance the antispasmodic and anti-allergic effects. At the same time, on the basis of strengthening nursing care and avoiding contact with allergens, the addition of corrective drugs to enhance the body's immunity complements the cicada metamorphosis, which can reduce the onset of allergies, reduce the occurrence of respiratory infectious diseases, and receive satisfactory clinical results.
Neurological disorders
Convulsions are a common neurologic symptom in childhood. Rapid convulsions include high fever convulsions, encephalitis, meningitis and other diseases. Among them, hyperthermia convulsions are the most common, refers to the convulsions that occur in children in the early stage of respiratory infections or other infectious diseases, when the body temperature rises, and exclude intracranial infections and other organic or metabolic diseases that cause convulsions, most common in children aged 6 months to 3 years, which belongs to the category of chinese medicine emergency. Professor Wang Shaojie believes that this disease should seize the two characteristics of "wind" and "heat". Cicadas can evacuate wind and heat, dispel wind and stop spasms, and be used for this disease, so that the evil of wind and heat can be dispersed, convulsions and spasms can be stopped, and all diseases can be removed. At the time of proof, it can be used with hook vines and zombie silkworms to exert synergistic effects.
In addition, in recent years, in pediatric nervous system diseases, the incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity and multiple convulsions has increased year by year, which seriously affects the physical and mental growth of children. Such children are often nervous, emotionally unstable, have abnormal limb twitching, excessive activity and other manifestations, and the disease is repeated and difficult to heal. Professor Wang advocated that on the basis of guiding parents to communicate correctly with children, strengthening psychological counseling for children, and ensuring the regularity of children's work and rest, Chinese medicine treatment was applied from the perspective of wind relief and spasm relief, calming and calming the nerves.
As mentioned above, cicada metamorphosis can dispel wind and stop spasms, cure pediatric seizures, reduce their qi and fire, and make them not flush, so they can improve the symptoms of tics and hyperactivity manifested by diseases such as ADHD and multiple convulsions. Cicada metamorphosis also has the function of calming the nerves, which helps to soothe the child's emotions and relieve the child's mental tension, thereby reducing the frequency of onset and controlling the intensity of the attack. Similarly, the use of cicadas to calm the nerves, but also can treat children's night crying, sleep disorders and other symptoms.
Dermatological evidence
Cicada metamorphosis can relieve wind and rash, anti-allergic, so it has a good effect on allergy-related skin diseases such as eczema and urticaria. Children's skin is delicate, if the congenital allergic constitution, coupled with improper diet or contact with specific substances, is prone to allergic reactions, causing skin redness, itching, rash and other symptoms. The wind is good and the number of changes, so its pathogenesis has the characteristics of wandering position, indefinite behavior, impermanence and sudden onset. For example, rubella and urticaria start rapidly, and there is no fixed place, one after another, and it appears from time to time. There is also the saying that "the wind wins and the itch", so such skin diseases are often accompanied by itching, and the child scratches, which is easy to break, aggravate the disease, and does not heal repeatedly. Cicada metamorphosis is an insect drug, good deeds and good channeling, wind and rash, smooth veins, dispel evil out, to prevent further plague of wind and evil. It also fights allergies and reduces the damage caused by allergies to the skin, thereby curing diseases.
In clinical treatment, according to the child's condition, the medicinal taste of mustard, yellow cedar, and ground skin can be added to enhance its ability to dispel wind and evil, clear heat, dryness and dampness, dispel wind and relieve itch. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the addition of corrective drugs, especially in the treatment of prolonged rashes such as urticaria and recurrent eczema, and the use of fuzheng and anti-allergy can effectively avoid repeated attacks.
