Indications: Pruritus skin.
How to use: Put 100 grams of nepeta panicle powder into a pouch sewn with a thin cloth, and rub it wherever it is.
Precautions: (1) Use this method to treat itchy skin, regardless of the number and time. (2) More often, this method can only relieve itching, but not the roots. It is best to find a professional Chinese medicine doctor for syndrome differentiation and treatment.
I am a pure Chinese medicine clinic here, and I use decoction to treat diseases, but there are people who can't drink decoction but want me to treat, so some practical unilateral prescriptions and test prescriptions come in handy.
Once, a patient with urticaria who couldn't drink decoction medicine wanted me to be cured quickly, and I said, "You can use some Western medicine, isn't it faster to get results?"
"I used it, I didn't care about it. When I started using it, the itching was reduced, and after using it a few times, the itch was still itchy. Doctor Ji, can you stop the itch for me first?"
"I'll try. Then he prescribed 100 grams of nepeta panicles (because the amount was small, the grinder was not good for grinding), and after the end of the research, the patient was instructed to wrap it in a cloth and wipe it where it itched.
As he was talking, the patient started itching again, I asked the patient to take a little nepeta spike in his hand and rub it directly on the affected area, and after three or four times, the itch was immediately relieved, "So godly." ”
Hehe, I smiled, "Use it well when you get home, not only can it stop itching, but it can also cure your hives." ”
Actually, this recipe is for the treatment of pruritus. In 1993, when I copied prescriptions for my teacher in the internal medicine outpatient clinic, many patients with skin diseases also came here for treatment. For acute and chronic urticaria, it can not only relieve itching, but also cure.
Hives are what we often call wheals, pimples, hives, etc. It is a common skin condition.
Acute urticaria has a rapid onset, and the skin lesions often occur suddenly, which are localized red wheals of varying sizes, and most of the skin lesions last for half an hour to a few hours before they resolve spontaneously, and the patient will feel intense itching accompanied by a burning sensation. It occurs at an indefinite location and can occur generalized or locally. Chronic urticaria is a recurrence of wheals, sometimes more and sometimes less, and the course of the disease is more than 2 months.
The application of nepeta panicle grinding treatment, not only convenient and simple, but also quick effect, as long as a few rubbing, immediately no itching.
Oh, seeing this, some people may say, if I scratch it with my hand a few times, won't it be itchy?
Oh, at first glance, I haven't had hives or haven't paid attention to the situation of urticaria patients. The itch of urticaria, the more you scratch it with your hands, the more it itches, and it usually stops itching after scratching, and when you scratch one place, other places also start to itch.
In spring, there are many people with allergies, and it is not a solution to always take anti-allergic Western medicine, and the side effects are so big, what should I do?
Sew a small cloth bag (the cloth is best to be thinner), fill it with some nepeta powder, itchy, take it out and use it to rub the itchy place, how convenient and simple.
Nepeta spikes, which are sold in general Chinese medicine stores, are basically no fake medicines, only the difference between new and old, and it is best to buy fresh nepeta spikes. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nepeta has the effect of dispelling wind and relieving itching, and can remove wind evil in the skin and blood, while nepeta spike has a good therapeutic effect on skin itching and urticaria, and external use is directly applied to the affected area, and the effect is very fast.
The combination of internal and external is better, and the external use of nepeta mustard to relieve itching was talked about earlier, and if it is combined with cicada molting and internal administration, it is the icing on the cake. As for the method of taking cicada molt, we can learn from the experience of Dr. Yan Tianshun in the treatment of urticaria in the 9th issue of "Sichuan Traditional Chinese Medicine" in 1989: 15 grams of cicada molt, 60 grams of glutinous rice, and 60 ml of rice wine.
First fry the glutinous rice until browned, put it in a porcelain jar, add 150 ml of water, simmer for one or two minutes, add rice wine and crushed cicadas, and then fry for one or two minutes. 20 cases were treated, and the mild cases were generally cured after one or two times, and the severe cases were cured after three or four times. If it is taken before bedtime, it is better to take the back cover and sweat slightly. For example, Li, female, 30 years old. Sick urticaria has been more than half a year, every time due to wind, undressing, contact with cold water, first limbs, then the whole body, itching unbearable, accompanied by restlessness, face swelling. After taking Chinese and Western medicines for treatment, the symptoms disappeared after 3 doses, and there was no recurrence after 1 year of follow-up.
Clinically, there are too many patients with itchy skin, and it is very painful. Once, when I was lecturing online, I met a patient who asked about the treatment of urticaria, so I explained this method and asked the patient to try it. At this time, a netizen below typed to me and said that rubbing the affected area with white wine was also good.
Later, some of my patients also told me how to rub with liquor, but most of them reported that liquor can indeed relieve itching, and after a few minutes or ten minutes, there will be itching again, and the effect is not good after using nepeta.
Therefore, patients with itchy skin who have not bought nepeta can first rub the affected area with white wine. After that, go to the pharmacy to buy some nepeta, if there are nepeta spikes, it is better, let the pharmacy grind you into powder, wrap it in a cloth when you go home, and wipe it when the skin is itchy.
