Eczema itchy "wind" caused! ! Stay away from scratching at 6 o'clock! !
It itches here and there, and you can't help scratching? Eczema is easy to attack every season, and the symptoms are getting worse? The doctor in Taichung said that the itching of eczema was caused by the wind, and it should be treated with the wind to stop itching. However, in order to stay away from eczema, in addition to the treatment of itching, adjusting diet and reducing the intake of frozen products and processed foods is the fundamental palliative.
Dr. Jiang Yuyang, from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Taipei United Hospital, said that eczema is a common skin disease. There are many related records in ancient Chinese medicine books, but there are different names according to the location of the attack. If it occurs in the external ear, it is called spiral ear sore. It occurs in scrotum and is called renal cystic wind. Occurring in the elbow and knee fossa on the flexion side of limbs is called four-bend wind. It happens in the hands, which is called goose claw wind. It happens in the calf and is called skirt wind. It happens on the baby's face, which is called milk tinea or fetal disease.
Eczema is very different from heat, cold and dampness, so it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine to relieve itching.
As can be seen from the above names, whenever the uncomfortable symptom of itchy skin is mentioned, the word "wind" is often inseparable. Why? Dr. Jiang Yuyang explained that this is because Chinese medicine believes that the itch of eczema is caused by wind, so it is necessary to dispel wind and relieve itching during treatment.
Although the etiology of eczema is caused by wind, the location and symptoms of eczema will be slightly different according to individual physical differences, so the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine are also quite different. As for the symptoms, how to distinguish them? The simplest method is to classify the rash according to its color. If the rash is white and belongs to "wind-cold", the treatment needs to dispel the cold. If the rash is red in color, it belongs to "wind-heat", and the treatment needs to dispel wind and clear heat; If the rash has blisters, it belongs to "rheumatism", and the treatment needs to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.

Prevent eczema and stay away from itching at 6 o'clock.
What should I do to prevent eczema except to prescribe the right medicine according to physical differences? Dr. Jiang Yuyang suggested that starting from the adjustment of daily life style, in addition to maintaining good sleep habits and regularly quantifying three meals, more attention should be paid to diet and clothing. The following are six main points put forward by Dr. Jiang Yuyang:
1/ The diet should be light, and you should eat more fresh food and less spicy and irritating food or processed food.
Point 2/ Keep indoor air circulation and reduce the influence of dust mites, dust and other * * * objects.
Point 3/ Choose a loose and breathable cotton fabric and wear less tight-fitting or close-fitting clothes such as nylon chemical fiber.
Point 4/Sweating is an important way for the body to detoxify. Proper exercise makes the body sweat, which is good for health.
Point 5/Cold drinking should be controlled, especially when the weather is hot and the ice is swallowed, which will easily affect the transport function of the spleen and stomach, leading to "wet resistance" phenomena such as loss of appetite, fatigue, sticky stool or diarrhea.
Point 6/Stress is the source of all diseases. Visible light bands can cause local skin allergies, while invisible pressure can also cause allergic reactions in the body. Positive thinking, relaxing mood and reducing emotional stress are also aspects that cannot be ignored in the prevention of eczema.
