Many people will find that there will be redness on the whites of their eyes the next day after staying up late in overtime, and this situation generally only needs to adjust their lifestyle, regular life and rest, and basically rest for a few days. However, there is a disease, which is also the white eyes of the eyes full of red blood, accompanied by some complications, and also has a certain degree of contagion, because the overall symptoms are mainly red eyes, Chinese medicine calls it "outbreak fire eye", Western medicine calls it pink eye, also known as "acute catarrhal conjunctivitis". This situation can not be alleviated by simply adjusting the lifestyle and regular life and rest, but also needs to be treated in time to avoid prolonging the disease and cross-infection and infecting more people.
For the outbreak of fire eye disease, it is generally the onset of both eyes successively, at the beginning, you will feel some hot eyes, and even a burning feeling, and then there will be obvious eye redness and photophobia. Then you will feel as if your eyes are in the sand, your eyes are painful and uncomfortable, and then your eyelids will be red and swollen, your eyedrops will increase, and you will cry in the wind, and even some people will even have their eyelids stuck by the eyedrops when they get up in the morning, causing the eyes to be difficult to open.
In the Qing Dynasty's "Yizong Jinjian", there are some good remedies for the treatment of outbreaks of fire eyes, among which the famous ones are Chrysanthemum Tongshengsan and Painkiller Myrrh San. However, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a "medical forest geek" Wang Qingren, who improved the pain-relieving myrrh powder of "Yizong Jinjian" and evolved it into a very classic ophthalmic prescription, which is the pain-relieving myrrh powder with flavor. According to the record of "Medical Forest Correction of Errors", the whole prescription of Jiawei Pain Relief Myrrh Powder is composed of five flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, such as "three coins of myrrh, three coins of blood exhaustion, two coins of rhubarb, two coins of Pu Ni, and three coins of stone cassia (calcined)". The specific usage is to first grind these herbs into fine powder, divide them into four parts, take one serving each time, twice a day, and mix them with clear tea.
According to the records of "Yizong Jinjian", the whole prescription of painkiller myrrh powder is composed of four flavors of traditional Chinese medicine: "myrrh, blood exhaustion, rhubarb, and Pu Ni", and when used, it is also taken with clear tea, which mainly plays the role of invigorating blood and relieving pain, and clearing diarrheal heat, and is mainly used to treat the disease of "eye pain, pupil people are like blood pouring red" caused by "liver and blood heat consumption, bile loss, blood due to heat pressure, and blood is poured into the pupils". The flavored analgesic myrrh powder has the effect of dissolving blood stasis and relieving pain, clearing heat and reducing fire, which is mainly suitable for the outbreak of fire eye syndrome, and the clinical treatment is mainly based on the initial eye pain, the white eyes are red and red, and then the eyes are cloudy. In other words, the flavored analgesic myrrh powder and the pain-relieving myrrh powder are actually similar in terms of drug composition and efficacy.
Wang Qingren added a stone cassia to the pain-relieving myrrh powder in "Yizong Jinjian", which made the whole prescription more in tune with the disease, so it was called Jiawei pain-relieving myrrh powder. Wang Qingren believes that the addition of flavored analgesic myrrh powder is "an ophthalmic external disease, one side through the ages", it can be said that this prescription does have good effects in clinical practice, but it is a pity that there are not many modern clinical applications, especially for the initial outbreak of fire, the appearance of red eyes, increased eye feces, and eye (eyeball) pain, which can have an immediate effect.
In fact, the traditional Chinese medicine of Cassia Shi was clearly pointed out in the "Catalogue of Famous Doctors" that it has the effect of treating ophthalmic diseases such as "eye impairment and pain, blue blindness." For the role of Shi Cassia in "Materia Medica", a sentence of "the ability to master all eye diseases" is worth a thousand words. Zhang Xichun, a famous doctor in modern times, pointed out that Shi Cassia Ming is "an important medicine for cooling the liver and calming the liver", "its nature is good and bright", Zhang Xichun also talked about the respective uses of Shi Cassia for internal and external use, and believed that "grinding fine water and flying as a dressing" can be used to treat "extraocular obstacles", and if it is "used as a pill and scattered for internal use", it can be used to treat "internal cataracts". I have to say that Shi Cassia was born specifically for ophthalmology, so Wang Qingren added Shi Cassia on the basis of the pain relief myrrh powder in "Yizong Jinjian", which really has the magic of "finishing touch".
From the point of view of the envoys of the ministers, the myrrh powder of the prescription is myrrh and blood exhaustion, and the whole prescription uses myrrh and blood exhaustion as the royal medicine, which mainly plays the role of breaking the blood and dissipating blood stasis and activating the blood and relieving pain; with rhubarb and miscanthus as the subordinate medicine, it mainly plays the role of purging the fire; with the stone cassia as the adjuvant, it mainly plays the role of clearing away heat and expelling fire, calming the liver and brightening the purpose; and with clear tea as the medicine, it mainly plays the role of clearing the leader of the profit and inducing the heat to go down. The compatibility of all parties can play a wonderful role in dissolving blood stasis and relieving pain, clearing heat and reducing fire.
For the outbreak of the disease of fire eye, it is a contagious disease after all, and it is necessary to prevent cross-infection, especially after touching the towels, face washing utensils, faucets, doorknobs, swimming pool water, public toys and other objects used by the patient, it is necessary to do a good job of disinfection. For the patients themselves, it is also necessary to maintain a good work and rest routine, eat more light and easily digestible food, in the living Xi, there are several points to pay attention to, one is to pay attention to wash hands frequently, do not rub the eyes with your hands, do not wipe your eyes with clothes; the second is not to share towels, bath towels and other daily necessities; third, do not wear contact lenses during treatment; fourth, if you need makeup, avoid eye makeup powder falling into the affected eye. In short, as long as the treatment is timely and the prescription is combined, it is generally easy to cure and the prognosis is good.
