"Your physical condition is much better than I expected, it's really amazing!" these are the words of Dr. Li after reading the thick physical examination report, and said happily to the patient.
The patient, 67 years old, is a retired librarian with a unique personality and a willingness to explore life's little wisdom.
Summer is coming, and the temperature is gradually rising. On this day, Xia Houle took out the mat used in winter from the locker, prepared to clean it and take it to the roof to dry.
He was busy working by the pool, and inadvertently ran into his neighbor Uncle Wang, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Uncle Wang has always been in good health, but recently he was hospitalized for a few days due to a minor illness, which made Xia Houle think deeply about his health state.
He remembers that he started bathing with wormwood decoction water six months ago, which is said to improve the body's microcirculation and prevent some common geriatric diseases.
He thought it was just the superstition of his old wife, but he didn't expect that in the recent physical examination, the doctor was full of praise for his physical condition.
He has always been curious, and during his decades of working in the library, he has accumulated a great deal of knowledge about traditional herbal medicine.
As an herb that has long been used by traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of diseases, wormwood actually has a certain scientific basis.
Studies have shown that wormwood contains a variety of chemical components that are beneficial to the human body, such as volatile oils, flavonoids, and a variety of trace elements.
These ingredients can promote blood circulation, improve the skin's resistance, and even have a preventive effect on certain chronic diseases.
Xia Houle began to seriously reflect on the changes in the past six months, and he found that his skin condition had improved significantly, and the original frequent low back pain and joint pain had also been greatly relieved.
Although these changes were not noticeable at first, he could clearly feel the ease and comfort of his body as time went on.
In the medical world, research on wormwood is not uncommon.
Data show that in a study involving 200 middle-aged and elderly people, the group that regularly used wormwood for bathing,
In terms of blood viscosity, range of motion, and skin elasticity, they all performed better than the control group without wormwood.
The data from this study supports Xiahoule's personal experience and convinces him that his choice is based on science.
In addition, at the advice of his doctor, he looked up some information about the use of wormwood in other fields, such as its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
These properties make wormwood not only useful for daily health care, but also shows potential in the adjunctive treatment of some skin diseases.
However, despite the many benefits of wormwood, Xiahoule also learned with the doctor's prompting that no herb is a panacea.
For example, some components of wormwood may have some effect on liver function, so long-term use of wormwood in large amounts may require more caution for people with liver insufficiency.
After this in-depth discussion and research, Xia Houle firmly believes that between traditional and modern medicine, there are often many treasures worth excavating.
His experience and the health benefits he had gained also led his friends and neighbors to take an interest in wormwood.
At the end of the article, we ask the question: if wormwood has so many health benefits, why is it not widely available in modern medicine when it comes to promoting it as a daily health regimen?
In answering this question, we need to take into account that the modern application of traditional herbal medicine is often limited by the speed and scope of scientific validation.
The composition of herbal medicines is complex, and the mechanism of action is not as easy to define and validate as a single chemical drug, which requires more clinical trials and scientific research to support their safety and efficacy.
At the same time, there is also a bias in the public's perception of traditional herbal medicine, and some people may have reservations about it due to lack of understanding.
It is only through continuous education, scientific research and dissemination that traditional herbs such as wormwood can occupy a place in modern society and exert their due value.
