Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that can affect multiple systems and organs throughout the body, with common symptoms including rash, arthritis, kidney damage, cardiovascular disease, etc. According to statistics, millions of people worldwide suffer from lupus erythematosus, which is more common in women and more common in young and middle-aged people. This article will delve into the treatment of lupus erythematosus, the diagnosis and treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and the application of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

The cause of lupus erythematosus is not fully understood, but there are many studies that show that immune factors play an important role in the development of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lupus erythematosus is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the body due to the invasion of external evil qi, internal injuries of the seven emotions, improper diet and other reasons, which triggers the abnormal immune response of the body and eventually leads to the occurrence of autoimmune diseases.

When diagnosing lupus erythematosus, TCM usually adopts the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the patient's symptoms, tongue coating, pulse and other comprehensive judgments. Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the onset of lupus erythematosus is related to blood stasis, stasis, yin deficiency, etc., so in the first place, traditional Chinese medicine such as blood circulation and stasis, heat clearing and detoxification, and nourishing yin deficiency can be used.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many famous prescriptions that are used for lupus erythematosus disease, the most famous of which is Taohong Siwu Soup. Taohong Siwu Tang is composed of four traditional Chinese medicines, namely angelica, peach kernel, Chuanxiong and safflower, which has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and can improve the phenomenon of poor blood stasis circulation in patients. In addition to the peach red Siwu soup, there are some other famous recipes such as Xiaoyaosan and Sizhisan, which are also used in lupus erythematosus.

In addition to traditional Chinese medicine**, patients with lupus erythematosus also need to pay attention to their daily routines. First of all, it is necessary to avoid excessive fatigue, emotional excitement and other factors, and ensure adequate sleep and reasonable rest. Secondly, it is necessary to carry out moderate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and improve immunity. In addition, patients should eat a light diet and avoid overeating, especially less spicy and stimulating food.

To sum up, lupus erythematosus disease, as a complex autoimmune disease, can be carried out in the way of traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Although TCM requires a certain amount of time and patience, compared with Western medicine, TCM emphasizes regulating the overall immune function in order to achieve the effect of treating the symptoms and curing the root cause. However, due to the complexity of lupus erythematosus disease, patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner according to their own conditions during the **process**, and follow the doctor's advice**.
