Health for All says
First of all, we need to understand the ** of lupus erythematosus. Western medicine considers lupus erythematosus to be a disease caused by an imbalance in the immune system. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, places more emphasis on the balance of yin and yang in the human body.
According to TCM theory, the body's yin and yang balance is essential for maintaining good health. Women, on the other hand, are more susceptible to mood swings and endocrine changes than men. For example, changes such as the onset of menstruation, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery can all have an impact on a woman's yin and yang balance.
Secondly, TCM pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang to maintain the balance of the body. There are certain differences between women's physique and men's physiology, psychology and viscera levels. Women pay more attention to the health of the reproductive system, and the cyclical changes of menstruation, uterine contraction and recovery, etc., will also have an impact on the balance of yin and yang in the body.
In addition, TCM believes that the liver mainly stores blood and the kidneys mainly store essence. Women lose more blood during menstruation, resulting in insufficient blood in the liver. The loss of kidney sperm is affected by the postpartum menstrual period. These changes can bring with them the risk of an imbalance of yin and yang in the body.
Again, we can explain from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine that women are more likely to suffer from lupus erythematosus. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is carried out according to different constitutions and syndromes**. Women are more likely to form a series of ** required for lupus erythematosus under certain physiological periods, psychological states and physical characteristics.
There are many ancient formulas in Chinese medicine that can be used to regulate women's physique and yin and yang balance. For example, formulas such as Yuping Feng Tang and Siwu Tang can regulate women's menstrual irregularities, menstrual pain and other problems. In addition, ejiao, wolfberry, angelica, yellow essence and other medicinal materials also help to maintain women's physique.
In summary, lupus erythematosus is a complex and common autoimmune disease, and the reason why women are more susceptible is closely related to the yin and yang balance of their body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, regulating the body and maintaining the balance of yin and yang are important measures to prevent and improve lupus erythematosus.
