Joint qi and blood obstruction
Now many young people also have joint pain. At the same time, there are more and more people suffering from cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and low back and leg pain, and they are getting younger and younger.
Many people always want to find some medicine to take, hoping to relieve symptoms, but they are always afraid of too many side effects and don't know how to choose.
In the view of Chinese medicine, these diseases are all caused by deficiency of vital qi, feeling exogenous evils such as wind, cold, dampness and heat, blocking meridians, blocking qi and blood, and making qi and blood run poorly. Traditional Chinese medicine-arthralgia syndrome (joint pain, pronunciation is necessary).
Simply put, joint pain is the pain, numbness, fever, swelling and limited activity of muscles, joints and bones. The causes of arthralgia are different, the specific symptoms are different, and the medication is different. Only symptomatic medication can achieve the best effect.
First, arthralgia due to wind-cold and dampness.
Features: joint pain and swelling, aggravated by rainy days, and the affected area is afraid of wind and cold.
This is the most common joint pain, especially in the elderly. It is due to the invasion of cold and dampness, which leads to stagnation of qi and blood. Especially in rainy weather, it will break out or worsen.
Second, rheumatic joint pain.
Features: the joints are red, swollen and burning, the pain refuses to touch, and it is relieved when it is cold.
A kind of joint pain is characterized by local redness, burning pain, pain at the touch, sometimes subcutaneous nodules or erythema, which is relieved when it is cold, and the pain is uncertain, involving multiple joints.
At the same time, it may be accompanied by fever, aversion to wind, hyperhidrosis, thirst, irritability and other systemic symptoms, with red tongue and yellow or greasy tongue coating.
This kind of joint pain belongs to heat arthralgia, which is caused by feeling the evil of wind, dampness and heat, or by long-term stagnation of wind, cold and dampness, so it has the symptoms of heat evil, and the onset is generally urgent, which is more common in young adults.
When you encounter this kind of joint pain, you should choose drugs that can dispel wind, remove dampness and clear heat.
Third, rheumatism and blood stasis
Features: joint tingling, fixed pain position, severe pain at night.
One kind of joint pain is the pain in the joints of limbs. This kind of pain is mainly stinging. It hurts badly, the painful part is fixed, and it hurts more when you press it, and it hurts more at night than during the day.
At the same time, there are symptoms such as numbness of limbs, weakness of lower limbs, inability to turn over, dark purple tongue, and petechiae on tongue coating. This is blood stasis, which is caused by blood stasis blocking meridians. It is important to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Fourth, liver and kidney deficiency.
Features: joint pain lasts for a long time, joint swelling and deformation, muscle atrophy, unable to walk.
Some middle-aged and elderly people suffer from rheumatism for a long time, but they can't get well. They have long-term joint pain in limbs, unfavorable flexion and extension or numbness, swollen and stiff joints, deformation and even muscle atrophy. They can't straighten their elbows and knees, or even stand and walk, or lift their heads. Their hunchbacks are very serious.
Joint pain in middle-aged and elderly people will also be accompanied by symptoms of liver and kidney deficiency such as weakness of waist and knees, hot flashes due to bone steaming, spontaneous sweating and night sweats.
This is due to the long-term unhealed pathogenic wind, cold and dampness, which damages liver and kidney and consumes qi and blood. Therefore, this kind of patients not only need to promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, but also need to tonify liver and kidney.
Star Chinese patent medicine
Today, we mainly introduce a general Chinese patent medicine for treating rheumatic pain-Yaofeng Shifeng Capsule.
It consists of Herba Siegesbeckiae, Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae, Herba Taxilli, Ramulus Mori, Ramulus Sophorae, and Radix Clematidis. Has the effects of expelling pathogenic wind, removing dampness, dredging collaterals and relieving pain.
It is clinically used for quadriplegia, soreness of waist and knees, joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis.
Siegesbeckiae don't feel strange. It belongs to the category of making a fortune in silence. Although it is far less popular than Clematis, it is not as popular as Ji Fang. But there are many Chinese patent medicines made by pharmaceutical factories. For example, Jietong Shuan Pill, Hong Jie Tongluo Oral Liquid, etc.
Just from the names of these traditional Chinese medicines, we can see that Herba Siegesbeckiae can not only dispel wind and remove dampness, but also dredge blood clots and treat cerebral infarction.
As a herbaceous plant in Compositae, Herba Siegesbeckiae's dry aerial parts have fragrant smell, strong circulation of qi, bitter and dry taste, and cold nature can clear away heat, thus expelling wind and removing dampness, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, and benefiting joints. It has a good curative effect on rheumatism, lumbago and leg pain, rubella wet sore, hemiplegia, and even local blood stasis and swelling caused by soft tissue injury or fracture surgery.
The powerful function of activating qi, expelling wind and dredging collaterals can help patients with sequela of cerebral infarction to improve qi and blood, meridians and collaterals, and eliminate pathogenic factors from healthy qi.
Self-restraint in bitter cold and hard work can dispel wind and remove dampness, relieve arthralgia and relieve pain, clear damp heat, induce diuresis and reduce swelling. Especially Han Ji Fang, a non-Aristolochiaceae, tastes bitter and cold, and is good at eliminating dampness and dredging collaterals, stopping arthralgia and relieving pain.
Parasitic mulberry, parasitic on mulberry. Mulberry of "Oriental Shenmu" was born out of qi and used as medicine for dry leaves and stems. Bitter and sweet, it enters the liver and kidney, and can tonify the temperature, replenish blood and regulate menstruation, calm the heart and dispel wind and dampness, treat bone and muscle pain, relax tendons and activate collaterals, and treat arthralgia due to cold and dampness.
Mulberry branches, as the branches of oriental Shenmu mulberry trees, are bitter in taste, slippery in nature and diuresis, and enter the liver meridian, which has a very good effect on dredging meridians, expelling wind and removing dampness. In addition, "all drugs reach the limbs", and mulberry branches are good at dredging the meridians of the limbs, which is a good medicine for dispelling cold-dampness arthralgia, joint pain and numbness, limb contracture and so on.
Mulberry branches and mistletoe are old partners. Mulberry branches connect limbs, mistletoe tonifies liver and kidney and strengthens bones and muscles, which complement each other.
The branches of Sophora japonica are the tender branches of Sophora japonica in Leguminosae, which are cultivated on the side and roadside of houses. Bark and pods are good rations in famine years. Their branches are bitter and flat, and have the functions of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, clearing away heat and dampness, expelling wind and killing insects.
People often use its branch skin and borneol to grind the powder and plug the nose to treat facial paralysis, which is related to catching cold. Due to wind dispersing, wet and sticky, heat is easy to hurt body fluids, resulting in blood dryness and skin dystrophy and itching. Sophora branches also have antipruritic effect.
Clematis is really a magic medicine for expelling wind and removing dampness, which is found in countless places. Its nature is pungent and salty, and it is good at running. It can expel wind from the exterior, eliminate dampness from the interior, resolve phlegm and dissipate stagnation, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and warm and tonify collaterals.
It is a good medicine for expelling wind, promoting blood circulation, removing dampness, dredging five internal organs, treating rheumatic joint pain, and even cholelithiasis, calcaneal spur and esophageal cancer.
Five herbs were used in the whole prescription, which can regulate cold and heat, dispel wind and remove dampness, dredge collaterals and relieve pain. Moreover, Herba Siegesbeckiae is also good at dredging blood vessels and preventing diuresis. Mulberry branches and Sophora branches are especially good at dredging the meridians of limbs, Taxilli is good at regulating blood vessels, and Clematis is good at promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Just like a martial arts school, every master has martial arts skills, and * * * will carry this school forward.
It is worth noting that this prescription can treat qi and blood stagnation, joint pain, numbness of limbs and unfavorable flexion and extension caused by rheumatism in the exterior or meridian block.
Treating symptoms but not root causes can be combined with prescriptions for treating symptoms but not root causes according to patients' specific conditions.
