The same recipe, one is useful, the other is useless, and the key to winning lies in quantity
A recent patient was a relative of a classmate of mine, he suddenly had a weakness of the right limb half a month ago, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted and he couldn't speak clearly, his family immediately sent the patient to the hospital, and the hospital diagnosed him as cerebral infarction, during which he had been active and thrombolytic, but the symptoms did not improve significantly. My classmate is also a doctor, and he gave his relatives a soup that tonifies yang and returns five soups, but the effect is still not ideal, so he found me.
At present, the main manifestations of the patient are weakness of one limb, unclear speech and drooling, and the brain is not clear, always feeling groggy and unformed. When I stretched out my tongue, I saw that the tongue was red, and the surface of the tongue was slippery, and it was a white greasy moss. After comprehensive analysis, the dialectic is qi, blood and blood stasis.
The patient is 72 years old, the body has been relatively weak, Chinese medicine often says that qi can carry blood, if the qi is insufficient, there is no way to promote the blood to run, it is easy to form congestion, blood stasis will lead to the veins blocked, muscles and muscles lose nourishment, so there is limb weakness, mouth crooked eyes and slanted performance.
After two courses of treatment, the patient felt that the weakness of the limbs had improved, the legs felt strong, and the degree of crooked mouth was also reduced.
My classmate didn't understand that the same prescription was used, why the effect was so different?
I told him that it was because of the quantity problem, I reused astragalus, which was twice as much as before, and the purpose of reusing astragalus was because he could greatly replenish the vitality of the spleen and stomach, and the qi could move blood, and the blood would stasis, so it had such an effect.
Although the medicine is good, it is not suitable for everyone, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, one person and one party, if there is any discomfort, the offline hospital should be treated in time.
