What diseases is Chinese medicine good at treating? Diseases that Chinese medicine is good at

We will encounter some diseases more or less in our daily life. Most people choose to go to hospital for treatment. Injection or taking medicine is basically a method of western medicine. In fact, our Chinese medicine is also very effective. Many diseases can be treated by Chinese medicine faster than by western medicine. Today, I will introduce several diseases that Chinese medicine is good at treating. Let's have a look.

1, diseases that Chinese medicine is good at

The correct way of acute myocardial infarction is to let the patient lie flat or lie quietly for half a day, take nitroglycerin tablets orally immediately, and press Neiguan point (three horizontal points point near the center of the upper finger, palm and wrist), which can relieve chest pain to a certain extent, and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, instead of listening to the "folk prescription" and handling it by yourself.

"However, this does not mean that Chinese medicine is useless in first aid and first aid," Yao Weihai said. "Chinese medicine has also achieved good results in some emergencies, such as fever, fracture, septicemia, intestinal infectious diseases and dizziness caused by high blood pressure."

Have a fever Acute fever caused by virus and bacterial infection is called "exogenous high fever" in traditional Chinese medicine. According to the symptoms, under the guidance of a doctor, you can choose Mahuang decoction in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which can reduce fever after sweating. Yao Weihai suggested that some Chinese patent medicines, such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, Jinhua Qinggan Granule, Shufeng Jiedu Capsule and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, can be made at home, which have a good effect on fever caused by pneumonia, viral infection and bacterial infection. If the body temperature continues to rise (above 38 degrees Celsius, or below 38 degrees Celsius but lasts for more than 6 days), it is not appropriate to continue self-medication, and you should seek medical advice in time.

Fracture. When a fracture occurs outdoors, you can also use Chinese medicine to give first aid. If the wound is bleeding, the visible dirt should be removed first, and then the wound should be bandaged with clean cotton or towel under pressure. Then, local materials can be taken, and the splint with appropriate width can be roughly processed with wooden boards and bamboo pieces, and the fracture site can be fixed with bandages or cloth strips, which can effectively prevent the fracture site from being further damaged before medical treatment. It is best to put some soft and breathable cloth such as cotton between the splint and the skin. Chinese patent medicines such as Qilisan and Yunnan Baiyao can also be taken orally to stop bleeding and relieve pain. At the same time, it should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible and handed over to the doctor for treatment.

Sepsis. Sepsis occurs when the human body reacts to external infection and damages its own tissues and organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "obstruction of fu-organs and qi" is one of the symptoms of sepsis, so it is treated by "dredging fu-organs and attacking the lower body" The commonly used prescription is Chengqi decoction, whose main components are rhubarb and immature bitter orange, which can improve the blood circulation of abdominal organs, promote the elimination of inflammation and expel bacteria and toxins. In addition, "tongfu" also has a certain effect on dynamic intestinal obstruction. After doctors rule out intestinal diseases such as stenosis and intussusception, patients can choose Tongfu Yiqi Decoction to promote the recovery of intestinal motility.

Intestinal infectious diseases Chinese medicine also has certain characteristics in treating intestinal infectious diseases such as dysentery. Dysentery is caused by "exogenous pathogenic factors are infectious, toxic and internal injuries are unclean", which refers to eating the pathogen that causes dysentery by mistake because of unsanitary diet. Chinese patent medicines can choose Gegen Qinlian Granule, Gufang Gegen Qinlian Decoction and Pulsatilla Decoction, all of which are very effective prescriptions for treating dysentery.

Dizziness. For dizziness caused by hypertension, acupuncture can be performed at Zuming (the depression of the inner edge of the brow), Baihui (the center of the head) and Sanyinjiao (the width of the medial ankle and toe is four horizontal fingers), or Xuanyunning tablets can be taken according to the doctor's advice.
