Every day in the clinic, we often encounter some patients who report problems related to body pain, such as headache, cervical spine pain, shoulder pain, low back pain, leg pain, buttocks pain, etc., so how are these formed? Why do many of them use various methods, such as: moxibustion, physiotherapy, baking electricity, as well as scraping, cupping, There is such a sentence in Chinese medicine, called "the general is not painful, the pain is not clear", which means that the fundamental reason why people have pain is that it is not clear, so why can't it be done?
There are many reasons, such as: cold, qi stagnation, blood deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm dampness, liver and kidney deficiency, and trauma, etc., which will lead to blockage of the meridians, resulting in pain. Therefore, "seeing pain and relieving pain", this is not the most fundamental way to treat pain, it can only be said to treat the symptoms, and if you want to treat the root cause, it is necessary to treat it according to the actual situation of each person, dialectical treatment, for example: if you are affected by wind and cold and dampness, then you must drive away cold and dehumidification, if it is blood deficiency and blood stasis, then you must add blood replenishment and blood activation, or some people are liver and kidney deficiency and phlegm and dampness, then you have to nourish the liver and kidney, dissolve phlegm and dampness, etc., so as to fundamentally solve the pain.
Lower back and leg pain is one of the common conditions, and many people have experienced it. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that waist and leg pain is caused by factors such as insufficient liver and kidney, poor qi and blood, and internal invasion of cold and dampness.
1. Feel the external evil. "Lingshu - The Beginning of a Hundred Diseases" says that among the people of the void and evil, the limbs are connected, and the waist and spine are strong. The so-called hypocrisy is due to the deficiency of righteousness, and the six evils of the feeling, the elderly are self-deficient, the health is insufficient, the external evil enters the inside, and the meridian qi is blocked, so it is easy to have waist and leg pain.
2. Falling from a frustration, improper force, breath-holding frustration, strong weightlifting, violent twisting or falling can damage the meridians, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood, and low back and leg pain.
3. Strain kidney qi. Old age and physical weakness, long-term illness and qi deficiency, insufficient congenital endowment or uncontrolled intercourse, labor and qi injury, resulting in kidney qi depletion, unable to nourish the meridians, resulting in low back and leg pain.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is the main tendon, the kidney is the main bone, and the waist is the house of the kidney, so people's waist, legs, muscles and bones have a lot to do with the liver and kidneys, under normal circumstances, the older the person, the more severe the liver and kidney consumption, so when a person is old, the waist, legs, muscles and bones are not good, and they can't resist the wind, cold and dampness of the outside world, so it is easy to get rheumatism.
Next, I would like to share with you one of the most common, but also a relatively special kind of pain, where is it special? is that the location of this pain is very special, every time it hurts, which pain is which pain, for example: if you have left chest pain, or right small stomach pain, left thigh root pain, or pain between the two eyebrows, etc., every time it hurts, the painful position will never run away, and this pain is often like a pinprick, every night there are signs of aggravation, light during the day, It is severe at night, and the pain has a fixed place, which is more common in traditional Chinese medicine is the pain caused by blood congestion and obstruction.
Because once the blood stasis is stagnant in a certain visceral tissue, it is difficult to dissipate in time, so it has the characteristics of a relatively fixed location, such as local tingling, or fixed and lingering. Not only that, after the formation of blood stasis, whether it is stagnant in the pulse or outside the pulse, it will not only produce pain, but also lead to local or systemic blood flow disorders, which will lead to various problems, for example, if the blood stasis is blocked in the heart, resulting in heart and pulse paralysis, chest paralysis and heartache can be seen; if the stasis is in the middle of the focus, it will show pain in the abdomen; if the stasis is in the middle of the focus, it will show pain in the lower abdomen; stasis in the lower abdomen; stasis blocking the uterus, it will also lead to menstrual irregularities, chong ren disorder and so on. And such a person, the skin often has a lot of ecchymosis, the lips are also purple and dark, stick out the tongue and look again, the tongue is dark purple, and the two veins under the tongue are also thick and large, what can I do?
Then I will share with you a dose, one of the series of pain-relieving prescriptions created by Wang Qingren, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, called Body Pain Chase Stasis Soup, which can be said to have a wider and larger conditioning range than other Chase Stasis Soup.
A 67-year-old woman, with terrible pain in her waist and legs, had to limp to the clinic with the support of her children, and found that the sublingual veins were purple stasis.
The old man went back to eat it for 7 days, and his legs and feet were like a day.
Body pain and stasis decoction: 9 grams of peach kernels, 9 grams of safflower, 6 grams of Chuanxiong, 9 grams of angelica, 6 grams of Wuling lipid, 6 grams of myrrh, 3 grams of incense, 9 grams of Sichuan hyssop, 6 grams of Dilong, 3 grams of Qingang, 3 grams of Qianghuo, 6 grams of licorice, decoction in water.
This recipe, in Wang Qingren's own words: "Shoulder pain, arm pain, back pain, leg pain, or body pain, the general name is paralysis." Knowing that he was suffering from wind and cold, he would not be cured by using warm and diffusing medicine, and knowing that there was dampness and heat, he would be useless in using dampness to reduce gunpowder. Over time, the muscles are emaciated...... If the water encounters the wind cold, it condenses into ice, and the ice becomes the wind chill and has dispersed. There are many ancient prescriptions, such as the ancient prescription is ineffective, and the body pain is used to chase away the stasis soup. ”
Wang Qingren made an analogy here, he compared blood stasis to a piece of ice, how is ice formed? Water is formed by condensation when it meets wind and cold. Wang Qingren said again, although the wind and cold have dispersed, the ice is still there, so the treatment is to dissolve blood stasis, plus a little medicine to dispel wind and dehumidification.
The first thing used is peach kernel, safflower, Chuanxiong, and Wuling lipid to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis.
