Someone once asked me, Director Sun, what is Chinese medicine, and is it Chinese medicine that can prescribe Chinese medicine?
I thought about it, then shook my head at him.
It is true that Chinese medicine is as everyone sees, and the treatment of diseases must be based on traditional Chinese medicine, as well as acupuncture, and proficient in the human body's veins and acupuncture points, but this is not the most important. The most important thing in TCM treatment is to have syndrome differentiation thinking, and a really good TCM practitioner is not afraid of the so-called incurable diseases, because as long as there are syndromes to identify, the disease will have a good prognosis.
Take the child's rhinitis as an example, many parents think that this is an incurable disease, right? It has not been cured for many years, dragging the child out of the adenoid face. But in my opinion, rhinitis is actually the body's energy is sealed, as long as the syndrome differentiation is appropriate, and then through traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, children can have a different life.
Some time ago, I received a 4-year-old patient, I just wanted to ask the child what the situation was, the parents began to pour bitter water: "My daughter from this autumn into the autumn, the nose did not pass, at the beginning of allergic rhinitis, to the hospital to pack some medicine to eat, just cured, encountered mycoplasma infection, and then influenza A, influenza B, this year's infectious disease, she did not avoid one." ”
In the girl's mother's account, I learned what happened to the girl this year, almost every time she got sick, she was infected by other babies in kindergarten, and when she came back, she had a cold, fever, runny nose, and sneezing. This made her, who already had rhinitis, breathe through her mouth all day long, went to bed later and later at night, and had no appetite for eating at all, and she barely grew much this year.
The reason for coming to me is also very simple, when the child's mother saw the photos of other people's children's adenoid faces on the Internet, the more she looked at them, the more frightened she became, didn't her daughter just have a thicker and thicker mouth, protruding upper teeth, widening her nose, and her eyes looking dull, and she seemed to be dumbfounded? Realizing that the child's condition could not be delayed any longer, she was introduced to me and found me, hoping to completely remove the root of the disease with traditional Chinese medicine.
This girl has a mother who cares about her, and she has used anti-allergy drugs, nasal sprays, etc., but in the end, the treatment of the child's rhinitis has been delayed, and the adenoid face is irreversible.
The treatment of rhinitis in Western medicine is to treat whatever symptoms you see.
It doesn't matter if your child is allergic, give them allergy medicine, and if your child has a stuffy nose, it doesn't matter, use some hormone spray or nebulizer to keep his breathing smooth.
But what exactly is wrong with the child? It is not in the scope of his consideration, as long as the child's current situation is solved, it will be cured.
As I said, a really good Chinese medicine is to distinguish between diseases, syndromes, and constitutions, which is the most basic TCM treatment idea.
I will share with you two rhinitis prescriptions, which can well reflect the thinking of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine, and you can refer to it.
1、辛芩颗粒——风寒型鼻炎
Wind-cold rhinitis is the excessive cold evil in our children's body, excessive consumption of yang qi, resulting in insufficient lung qi, cold hands and feet, cold intolerance, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and other symptoms.
Among them, the fine pungent can dispel the surface and dissipate the cold, Angelica dahurica opens the nasal passages, the calamus removes dampness and adjusts the function of the spleen and stomach, the astragalus greatly replenishes the vitality, the cinnamon branch replenishes the vitality in the body, and the atractylodes atractylodes replenishes the spleen and helps regulate the qi in the body.
Xinqin granules can not only treat the superficial symptoms, but also regulate the spleen and stomach, strengthen the movement, and replenish the yang qi to the body, which can be said to be both a symptom and a cure.
2. Xiangju capsule - wind-heat rhinitis
Wind-heat rhinitis is our child who is invaded by heat evil, at this time the lungs lose their normal function of declaring and descending, and cannot lead the operation of water, and the child will have nasal congestion, purulent discharge, headache and other symptoms, and Xiangju capsule is aimed at all kinds of acute and chronic rhinitis and sinusitis, which has the effect of dissipating wind and clearing heat.
Among them, the parsnip is able to dispel evil spirits and consolidate righteousness, and with astragalus membranaceus to greatly replenish vitality, the body qi is sufficient, and it is difficult for external evils to take advantage of it; prunella vulgaris and wild chrysanthemum are cold and cold, which can suppress the heat and evil in the body and regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body; plus the fragrant smell of Angelica dahurica and Xinyi, they are good at wandering in the meridians and let the blocked meridians be dredged.
Of course, when I use this recipe, I am not "take-it-it-ism", but according to the specific situation of the child, add or subtract herbs and dosages, and then use them to get the best effect.
I am Sun Fengping, director of the Department of Pediatrics of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I like children, and I can't bear to see children being tormented by diseases, with the help of this platform, I summarize my understanding of rhinitis and my experience in many years of work, and record it, hoping that more people will see that even if only one child has improved because of my article, it shows that what I have done is valuable.
