Another person died because of eating Chinese medicine indiscriminately.
Mr. Liu has always had rheumatism, Western medicine to eat a lot, the hospital to see a lot, but the treatment effect is not ideal, just when he was about to be discouraged, one day at the door of the village committee found a stall of the divine doctor, said that it can treat a variety of rheumatism, kidney loss and other diseases, holding the idea of dead horses as live horse doctors, Mr. Liu bought a few Chinese herbal medicines at the vendor.
"Divine Doctor" opened a total of 7 packs of Chinese herbal medicine, Mr. Liu himself fried a small packet, but not long after, the family found that Mr. Liu did not breathe, rushed to the hospital, the doctor was unable to return to heaven, the examination and identification found that it was because of taking Chinese herbal medicine, hook kiss poisoning and death. The poison of the hook kiss is extremely fast, and it can kill people in a few hours.
When the family inquired later, they learned that the so-called stall doctor did not have the qualification of practicing physicians, and the source of the medicinal materials was not formal, although the stall doctor accepted the corresponding punishment, but Mr. Liu's life was fixed on that night.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > abuse of Chinese medicine not only destroys the reputation of Chinese medicine, but also harms life</h1>
Since the source of Chinese medicine is mainly animals and plants, some people think that he has no side effects, even if he eats it without effect, there will be no side effects.
But this is very much! Very! Very! Wrong idea!
At present, drug-induced liver and kidney damage in our country has been very common in the clinic, and it is easy to cause a variety of serious consequences, from the PLA 302 Hospital to do the case statistics can be seen, in all the liver damage cases, there are about 3/4 of the liver damage patients with causes related to traditional Chinese medicine, people subconsciously think that Chinese medicine is non-toxic, side effects are small, but in fact, this is into the misunderstanding, now it is determined that there are 72 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, and this data is only counting the liver damage caused by traditional Chinese medicine, Kidney injury was not counted.
Due to the "prejudice" of some people on Chinese medicine, or half-understanding, the abuse of Chinese medicine in China is serious.
However, this abuse of Chinese medicine will be like the butterfly effect, creating a series of problems, to a lesser extent, it is related to the patient's life. It is likely that due to not understanding or not understanding enough, mr. Liu's tragedy was caused.
To a large extent, the abuse of Chinese medicine will destroy the "reputation" of Chinese medicine itself, so that everyone's trust in Chinese medicine will be greatly reduced.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >2. There are 3 types of toxicity</h1>
Chinese medicine is a traditional medicine in China, but also part of our traditional culture, when protecting and promoting it, the first thing we must do is to prohibit the abuse of Chinese medicine. To prohibit the abuse of Chinese medicine, we need to start from the toxicity of Chinese medicine.
According to the severity of toxicity and the degree of treatment and the degree of poisoning close to the classification, Chinese medicine can be divided into three kinds of large poison, toxic, small poison, small dose of toxic side effects, and the symptoms are fast and serious is a big poison, such as the above hook kiss such Chinese medicine is a big poison, in addition to the more common big poison Chinese medicine there are strychnine, Chuan Wu, grass Wu and so on.
After talking about the big poison, poisoning is easy to understand, that is, taking a large dose will cause poisoning is the poisoning of Traditional Chinese medicine, the more common White Attachment and Half Summer, this kind of Chinese medicine may lead to liver and kidney damage, and even death.
Small poison is what we call Chinese medicine with relatively small side effects, and their toxicity generally does not cause death, such as mugwort, north bean root and other Chinese medicines.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > Third, there are three principles of TCM treatment and health</h1> maintenance
Using Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat diseases and maintain health, understanding the properties and toxicity of various types of Traditional Chinese medicines is only the first step. Chinese medicine often says that there are 3 principles of using Chinese medicine to treat diseases and health, that is, to prescribe the right medicine, do not use intramuscular injection if you can choose oral administration, and once the phenomenon of allergies occurs, you must stop the drug immediately.
So ask the right medicine, that is, we say that different symptoms are suitable for different drugs. Chinese medicine and Western medicine are very different, the indications of Western medicine for the treatment of a certain disease are very clear, and the application of Traditional Chinese medicine does not have a clear boundary, which may not be enough for patients to pay attention to because some chemical components are less content, if mistakenly taken or mistakenly taken, there will be some adverse reactions.
However, a qualified TCM physician will adjust the dosage and medication according to the patient's age and physique to minimize side effects and achieve the best efficacy. Therefore, the use of traditional Chinese medicine must be treated differently from person to person, and the right medicine can play a therapeutic effect.
In addition, in the choice of traditional Chinese medicine to take, we say that if you can choose oral, do not choose intramuscular injection. Intramuscular injection means intravenous injection, just like we do drip. Intramuscular injection therapy is affected by the speed and concentration of fluids, and some adverse reactions may occur to varying degrees. If intramuscular injection is necessary, it is also recommended not to choose a large dose of drugs with too high concentrations, even after taking the drug, you must do a good job of monitoring and some corresponding first aid measures.
In addition, when taking traditional Chinese medicine, try to start with a small dose, gradually increase the dose of the drug, in the process of dosing to observe whether there is an allergic reaction at any time, once an allergic reaction is found, it is recommended to stop the medication in time, and under the guidance of the doctor, use vitamin C, dexamethasone and other anti-allergic drugs to alleviate allergic symptoms.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" >4, "non-toxic" Chinese medicine should not be used indiscriminately, be careful that the body is making up for the worse</h1>
In the classification of traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to large poisons, poisoning, and small poisons, there are also non-toxic Chinese medicines, such as goji berries, astragalus, red dates, etc., but even non-toxic Chinese medicines can not be used indiscriminately, after all, non-toxic Chinese medicines can not be said to be absolutely safe, and they cannot be eaten as nutrients for a long time.
Many people have a good impression of some tonic Chinese medicines, think that there are many benefits to the body, indeed tonic Chinese medicines have a certain effect on some people with weak physiques, but most of these kinds of Chinese medicines will have a very strong physiological activity and pharmacological effects, taking these drugs can easily lead to the excitement of human organs, a series of symptoms such as fire. Therefore, even if you want to take non-toxic Chinese medicine, it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a professional doctor.
Is the drug three points of poison, even if people subconsciously think that small side effects of Traditional Chinese medicine may also cause liver and kidney damage or even carcinogenicity, so Chinese medicine can not be used indiscriminately, Chinese medicine can be divided into four categories of large poison, poisoning, small poison, non-toxic, usually use Chinese medicine to treat the disease must be the right medicine, under the guidance of professional doctors, even non-toxic Chinese medicine can not be used indiscriminately, be careful to use the body worse and worse.
