I had a patient with multiple intestinal polyps who had been cut twice and because of the polyps, she suffered from diarrhea for a long time and had three to four bowel movements a day. She often felt short of breath and was in a poor mental state. At the same time, her sleep quality has also been greatly affected, causing her to be unable to work and live normally.
After asking about the patient's condition and symptoms, I found that her tongue was thin, dry and red, and her pulse was weak and weak, all of which were symptoms of qi and yin deficiency. In addition, she had heavy breath and dry mouth, indicating that her spleen deficiency and dampness symptoms were also more severe. The treatment is mainly to nourish qi and nourish yin, strengthen the spleen and infiltrate dampness.
Because the patient didn't want to have another operation, in addition to the symptomatic prescription treatment, I also asked her to soak cat's claw in water to drink, and last week I came for a follow-up, and the discomfort symptoms have improved, and the re-examination of the colonoscopy is not abnormal.
Why is that?
Polyps are called "scrofula phlegm nuclei" in Chinese medicine. At first it was just a lump of phlegm. They are formed because the water in the body flows too slowly or blocks the flow and then condenses together. It's like a river in the spring in the north, because the weather is cold, the water condenses, and small patches of thin ice appear, and the flow speed will become slower and slower, and then it will start to freeze completely, and it will become thicker and thicker, and it will become one piece, and finally it will stop completely. Polyps are formed when they accumulate in the intestines.
The first step to get rid of polyps is to dissolve phlegm.
Cat's claw grass is also known as Sansan grass, goldenrod grass, cat's claw grass, and the medicinal part is dried tuber root. It grows on the edge of the field, beside the road, in the depression and in the grass on the hillside, and has the effect of dissolving phlegm and dispersing knots, detoxifying and reducing swelling.
Although it is combined with prescriptions to assist in conditioning, but its own efficacy should not be underestimated, Chinese medicine pays attention to one person, the method is not suitable for everyone, and it needs to be applied after syndrome differentiation by professional doctors. #肠息肉#
