Uncle Wang sat in the consultation room, his hands shaking constantly. The doctor frowned and looked at the examination report. An ominous premonition surged into Uncle Wang's heart. He recalled the seemingly ordinary decision half a year ago, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart. What made him what he is today?
Uncle Wang is over half a hundred years old and has always been in good health. But just last winter, he began to feel soreness in his waist and knees, and his spirit was not good. An old neighbor recommended Liuwei Dihuang Pill to him, saying that it was a good medicine for the kidneys. Uncle Wang has the mentality of trying it and insists on taking it every day. At first, he did feel a little more energetic. But the good times didn't last long, and after a few months, his physical condition deteriorated.
Liuwei Dihuang Pill is indeed a commonly used prescription in traditional Chinese medicine, mainly used to nourish yin and nourish the kidneys. According to the book "Chinese Materia Medica", its formula includes Rehmannia rehmannia, Cornus officinalis, Yam, Poria cocos, Peony bark and Ze Yuan. These herbs have their own characteristics, and their compatibility can achieve the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney, and nourishing the essence and filling the marrow. "Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine" mentions that Liuwei Dihuang Pill is suitable for symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, waist and knee soreness caused by kidney yin deficiency.
Uncle Wang thought that he had found the secret of health preservation, but he didn't know that he was too late. "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" emphasizes that the conditioning of traditional Chinese medicine needs to be treated with syndrome differentiation and treatment, and cannot be taken blindly. Uncle Wang neglected his own physique and took a large amount of it for a long time, but it broke the balance of the body.
As time went on, Uncle Wang began to experience symptoms of dry mouth and frequent urination. He took it for granted that it was the aggravation of kidney deficiency, and he worked harder to eat Liuwei Dihuang pills. As everyone knows, these symptoms are the manifestation of the prevalence of kidney yin. "Diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine" points out that the symptoms of kidney yin deficiency and kidney yin deficiency are somewhat similar and need to be carefully distinguished.
Uncle Wang's condition is getting worse every day. He began to experience symptoms of lightheadedness, tinnitus, and deafness. "Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine" mentions that these may be manifestations of hyperactivity of liver yang. Long-term use of warm and tonic drugs can easily lead to yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. Uncle Wang's body is developing in the opposite direction.
Finally, on a cold morning, Uncle Wang suddenly fainted at home. After being taken to the hospital, tests revealed that his blood pressure was elevated and his blood sugar was abnormal. According to the Journal of Integrative Medicine, overdose in some TCM periods may affect blood sugar metabolism. Only then did Uncle Wang realize the seriousness of the problem.
The doctor told Uncle Wang that his liver and kidney function indicators were abnormal. According to the Pharmacology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the accumulation of certain components of Chinese medicine may cause a burden on the liver and kidneys. Uncle Wang was remorseful, and he finally understood the dangers of blindly taking medicine.
After a period of conditioning, Uncle Wang's physical condition gradually improved. This experience made him deeply realize that health preservation requires a scientific and reasonable approach. "Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Preservation" emphasizes that health preservation should follow the principle of the unity of nature and man, and the balance of yin and yang, rather than blindly pursuing a specific effect.
Although Chinese medicine has its own unique advantages, it is not something that can be taken casually. "Introduction to Chinese Medicine" points out that the rational use of drugs is the key to the role of Chinese medicine. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, we should choose the appropriate conditioning method according to our own physique.
This lesson teaches us that the path to health requires wisdom and patience. Blindly pursuing quick results can be counterproductive. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: "The upper medicine cures the disease", and preventive health care is the most brilliant way to maintain health. We should learn to listen to our bodies, maintain good lifestyle habits, exercise moderately, and eat a balanced diet.
You can't leave your health to chance. "Health Care of Traditional Chinese Medicine" emphasizes that health preservation should be a habit, rather than relying on a certain specific medicine. We should establish a correct concept of health preservation and accumulate it in daily life in order to truly achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
Medical Informatics points out that we should improve our ability to distinguish medical information, seek verification from multiple sources, and act cautiously. Only in this way can you find the health path that is truly suitable for you in the complex information.
