When I was studying medicine, my teacher always taught us that "a husband is a healer, he must first understand the source of the disease, know what he is committing and cure it with food, and then order medicine."
Especially in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar, depression and anxiety, Master told me that this kind of disease is mostly due to the lack of yang energy, and we must learn to borrow yang energy from heaven and earth. The cure for schizophrenia is never by medicine.
Last year, I saw a 16-year-old child, and his parents accompanied him when he came. Chief complaints: palpitations, precordial pain, anxiety, restless sleep for more than half a year.
The child fell from the 4th floor three years ago because of a schizophrenia attack, and after being discharged from the hospital, he was hospitalized in the psychiatric department of the local hospital for schizophrenia many times.
Parents wanted to change their thinking and try Chinese medicine conditioning for their children, and they found me here through introduction.
Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis: madness, syndrome differentiation is a deficiency pattern of qi and yin.
So the prescription was:
A total of 14 doses, 1 dose per day, divided into 2 warm doses in the morning and evening.
Parents are also advised to pay attention to their children's well-being, try to increase their children's outdoor contact with nature, and keep their diet light and healthy.
Second Visit:
The frequency and severity of palpitations and pain in the precordial area of the child were reduced compared with before, the anxiety was better than before, the stomach was acceptable, the night was not restful, the stool was adjusted, and the tongue and pulse were the same as before.
This shows that the prescription at the time of initial diagnosis is symptomatic and effective, so the prescription is observed. Let the child take 14 servings, and the decoction method is the same as before.
Third Diagnosis:
The child's palpitations, precordial pain, and anxiety symptoms were further alleviated than before, and the main reason for this visit was that the patient had recent frequent urination and painful urination, and the urine was red and short, the tongue was red, the moss was thin and white, and the pulse was fine. Through the above situation, the child is given the syndrome of dampness and heat and yin deficiency, and the treatment is to clear away heat and dampness, relieve depression and calm the nerves.
At the same time, parents are advised to take their children to the hospital for urinary system examinations.
Fourth Diagnosis:
After taking the medicine, there is no obvious frequent urination and painful urination, occasionally short and red urine, occasional anxiety, still have sleep at night, dry mouth and bitter mouth, red tongue, thin moss, and fine pulse.
The syndrome is depressed heat and yin deficiency, and the treatment is to clear away heat and relieve depression, calm the nerves, keep a total of 14 doses, and the decoction method is the same as before.
At the last consultation, it can be seen that the child's state of mind has been calm, there is no obvious anxiety, the situation of frequent urination and painful urination has improved, the urine is now normal, the weight has increased by 10 kg compared with before taking the medicine, the complexion has changed from white to ruddy, and the parents' complexion looks a lot ruddy, and the brows are no longer tightened.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang qi has the functions of warming and nourishing the tissues of the whole body, maintaining the function of internal organs, resisting the invasion of external evils, presiding over the opening and closing of qi, and maintaining the balance of yin and yang.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records that "those who are yang, if the sky and the sun, lose their place, they will lose their longevity." ”
The condensation of yin and evil is tangible, while the vaporization of yang energy is intangible. Yang deficiency and yin cold, insufficient vaporization, so tangible pathological products are produced: phlegm and stasis.
Let's take a look at this child's emotional failure during puberty, yang deficiency and yin cold, liver yang growth is too much, spleen is not healthy and phlegm, and this phlegm is affected upward with liver yang, causing his palpitations and precordial pain.
At the same time, phlegm and dampness disturbance cause the child's qi and yin deficiency and yang qi deficiency, so the child's treatment ideas need to be carried out from nourishing qi and nourishing yin, nourishing water and culverting wood, soothing the liver and relieving depression, and calming the nerves.
Fangzhong Yuanzhi Pill nourishes the kidneys and nourishes the heart, calms the nerves and stabilizes the mind, and the veins are dispersed and the qi is beneficial to the yin. Yin deficiency can also produce internal heat, spleen deficiency causes dampness, dampness and heat accumulation betting, heat in the bladder, so the child has symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination during the third diagnosis, so the prescription is added to clear heat and stop bleeding, diuretic and drenching medicine.
For schizophrenia, Chinese medicine has a very clear understanding and good means. Even Western doctors know that Western medicine cannot be taken all the time, and Western doctors come to see Chinese medicine, but there are still so many people who take a lot of Western medicine while denigrating Chinese medicine and not believing in Chinese medicine.
It is also necessary to be cautious about the use of Enshi pills and must be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. Because each person's constitution is different and their condition is different, the specific medication plan needs to be formulated according to the doctor's advice.
