Nasal congestion, allergic skin itching, difficulty sleeping, a coup of dehumidification and heat clearing in TCM
Dr. Wu Yifan, vice president of Fuyuan Chinese Medicine Clinic Taipei Campus
When he got up in the morning, he couldn't stop sneezing, but when he could stop, his nose was blocked or his nose was running. The cold and hot weather made many people's allergies particularly serious. A junior high school student in Taipei has an allergic constitution. When he is stressed, he will also have urticaria, and his whole body itches and he can't sleep well at night, which seriously affects his concentration and physical strength during the day. Dr. Wu Yifan, vice president of Taipei Hospital of Fuyuan Chinese Medicine Clinic, explained that from the point of view of Chinese medicine, the lung governs the fur, and the lung spreads and protects the qi on the skin surface, so the skin and lung can be said to be the export of excretion. When the body is cold and wet and the excretion is poor, the nose and skin begin to appear.
Heat-clearing and dampness-removing drugs keep warm the spleen and stomach, promote diuresis and dredge meridians
Dr. Wu Yifan further explained that this male student, besides being allergic, likes to drink a lot of ice drinks to quench his thirst after exercise, while his lungs and large intestine are opposite to each other, and ice drinks aggravate the cold of his stomach. When the school quiz comes every week, when he is stressed and stays up all night, urticaria will break out immediately, and his body will become more weak and hot.
At first, Wu Yifan, a Chinese medicine practitioner, used drugs such as Radix Sophorae Flavescentis and Cortex Moutan to eliminate the severe cold and dampness in his body. After two weeks of follow-up, the deficiency-heat condition was stable, and the frequency and days of urticaria attacks were also improved. Then, Linggui Zhugan decoction was adjusted as the main ingredient, and continuous heat-clearing conditioning was carried out. Poria and Atractylodes macrocephala could restore gastrointestinal function, warm the spleen and stomach, and cassia twig was added to promote diuresis and dredge meridians. After treatment, the situation of urticaria and nasal allergy was greatly improved.
It is not recommended to drink ginger tea at Yingxiang point for a long time.
There are many patients with nasal allergy in Taiwan Province, and when the air pollution is serious, the attack becomes more and more severe. Dr. Wu Yifan suggested that Yingxiang point beside the nose can slightly relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion, and when it is * * *, it should be pushed toward the nasal root, so it is advisable to have acid swelling. In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid being cold and cold, and reduce the body cold and dampness.
In addition, the weather has turned cold these days, and many people will drink ginger tea. However, Wu Yifan stressed that most children are of pure yang constitution, and the innate yang in their bodies is very strong. If they eat too much hot ginger, they may be too hot and dry, resulting in dry stools or too restless to affect their sleep. Adults, because of their complicated physical condition, are usually mixed with cold and heat. Even if they show allergic symptoms of cold and dampness, it is not recommended to drink ginger tea for a long time. Join us and pay attention to your health every day!
