What is water disease?
Many critically ill patients usually suffer from hydronephrosis (hydronephrosis, edema). The methods used by western medicine are mainly pumping water and diuretics, supplemented by physical assistance of limbs (such as dressing and leggings), but usually the curative effect is not good, and even it will turn into death (incurable disease). Hydrotherapy has seriously affected the quality of life of patients, and many cases give up treatment because they don't want to suffer any more. Therefore, before you start to treat a serious illness, you must first encounter water sickness, which is discussed in a special chapter in synopsis of the golden chamber: the combination of water-vapor disease and pulse condition. It tells how to identify and treat water diseases. What puzzles me is that the treatment method is clearly stated in the book, but few Chinese medicine practitioners use it according to law. In Taiwan Province Province, all doctors who have seen water control diseases are treated according to this chapter, and the effect is often very good. Some people are even called imperial doctors and famous doctors. In this case, I don't know why general Chinese medicine practitioners in China only use moxibustion and cupping to treat mild diseases (dehumidification), but dare not use Zhongjing's prescription [1]?
First, the causes of water syndrome
The pulse of water-gas disease is referred to as water disease for short, which refers to water accumulation in the body. Different from drinking water disease, drinking water disease is endogenous and mainly caused by bad living habits (water and drinking water are often treated together in clinic, but their origins are different). Water disease is foreign, the main reason is that the symptoms can not be cured, that is, the water disease caused by symptoms has lost the opportunity of treatment. Originally, it was a syndrome of Guizhi Decoction, Mahuang Decoction or Gegen Decoction, but it was mistakenly taken cold medicine (western medicine, or honeysuckle, Banlangen and the like). As a result, the exterior syndrome has not been removed, and it seems that the disease has recovered, but water slowly accumulates in the body and becomes a water disease.
Second, the process and types of water syndrome
Water diseases can be divided into: geomantic omen, skin water, yang water, Shi Shui and yellow sweat. These five sources of water come from Feng Shui (this is not geographical Feng Shui, but water evidence comes from wind), which is the most superficial water evidence. If doctors don't treat them, the water will become skin water, lose the chance of treatment, and then become positive water, Shi Shui and yellow sweat. This is from the development process of water syndrome to see the types of water diseases.
(1) Feng Shui
"Feng Shui, its pulse floats, exogenous joint pain, bad wind"
"The pulse is floating, floating for the wind, floating for the gas, and the atmosphere beats. Strong wind is carbuncle rash, itchy body, itchy discharge, and long wind is scab; Gas strength is water, so it is difficult to throw. When the atmosphere blows, the body is red and swollen, and sweating is healing. The wind is empty, this is feng shui. "
"Inch pulse is heavy and slippery, with moisture, swollen face and hot face, which is called Feng Shui; Depending on a person's stomach, it is slightly swollen, such as a silkworm lying in a new position, its neck pulsates, and sometimes it coughs, which is feng shui. "
"Sun disease, pulse floating and tight. When the joint hurts, it doesn't hurt, the body is sore, people are not thirsty, and it is good to sweat. This is Feng Shui. "
It can be seen that feng shui is mostly a table card, and it will be solved if there is a table card! Sweating. When the cure came out, many prescriptions could be added and subtracted, and suddenly they became cheerful.
(2) skin moisture
"Skin water, its pulse also floating, exterior syndrome edema. If you press it, you don't mean it. If your abdomen is bulging and not thirsty, you should sweat. "
"Sun disease, thirst does not hate cold, this is skin water."
"Inch pulse floating late, pulse hot, pulse latent heat.
