In the cold winter season, the weather is cold and the temperature drops, in addition to the common colds and wind chills are easy to occur, it is also a high incidence period of asthma, and patients with asthma have a deep experience, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing and coughing up phlegm...... These symptoms often occur, obstructing the airway and making it so uncomfortable that it is almost suffocating.
What does Chinese medicine think about and is there any good way to recuperate?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of asthma can be divided into internal and external causes, and the internal causes are mainly due to insufficient congenital endowment and acquired malnutrition, resulting in dysfunction of the lungs, spleen, kidneys and other viscera. External factors are mainly due to the influence of environment, climate, diet and other factors, resulting in the evil of wind, cold, dampness and heat invading the human body and triggering asthma.
Patient's condition
Some time ago, I received a patient who is 65 years old this year, who usually has coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, itchy throat and phlegm, dry mouth and throat, swollen throat and bleeding, nausea and vomiting, etc., in addition to often feeling uncomfortable swelling in the chest and flanks.
After understanding the situation through tongue diagnosis, pulse, inquiry, etc., and after comprehensive judgment, I concluded that this patient is mainly a chronic asthma disease caused by old age, yin deficiency, lack of qi and blood, decreased resistance, and lung and kidney deficiency caused by external wind and cold.
Conditioning regimen
In view of the patient's condition, the conditioning program is mainly based on nourishing yin and nourishing blood, drying and dampness and reducing phlegm. Referring to the addition of white mustard seeds on the basis of Jinshui Liujun decoction, because the patient's phlegm is full of qi stagnation, often accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms of chest and flank fullness, white mustard seeds can be vaporized and stagnant.
Jinshui Liujun decoction originates from the famous Ming Dynasty physician Zhang Jingyue's "Jingyue Quanshu", and the recipe is composed of angelica, rehmannia rehmannia, tangerine peel, banxia, poria cocos, and boiled licorice.
The recipe uses rehmannia and angelica to nourish the lungs, kidneys, yin and blood to treat the root cause, and tangerine peel, banxia, poria cocos, and licorice to dry and moisten phlegm to treat the symptoms, and treat both the symptoms and the root causes. It has a good curative effect on lung and kidney deficiency and cold, water overflowing with phlegm, or old age and yin deficiency, lack of blood and qi, external wind and cold, cough and vomiting.
After using several courses of treatment, the effect is particularly good, cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, dry mouth and throat, nausea and vomiting, throat swelling and other problems have improved, and the problem of chest and flank swelling and pain has also disappeared.
Okay, that's all for today's sharing, everyone's physique is different, don't blindly match the symptoms and follow the trend of medication, let's see you next time.
