Health for All says
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal activation of the immune system, resulting in multi-organ involvement throughout the body. For this problem, we can analyze it from the perspective of TCM theory.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that systemic lupus erythematosus is a disease of qi and blood imbalance. Qi and blood are the basic substances of human life activities, for women, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, childbirth and other physiological special factors will lead to the consumption and imbalance of qi and blood, and then affect the function of the immune system. As a result, women are more likely to develop systemic lupus erythematosus.
In addition, TCM believes that systemic lupus erythematosus is also related to emotional factors. Long-term depression, anxiety, sadness and other emotional states with poor mood will affect the operation of qi and blood, leading to qi stagnation and blood stasis, thereby aggravating the course of the disease. Due to women's physiological characteristics and social roles, they are more susceptible to mood swings and therefore have a relatively high chance of developing the disease.
In terms of traditional Chinese medicine**, we can cite some ancient and modern prescriptions to assist**. First of all, we can use mulberry branch soup, which is the prescription of the famous ancient physician Zhang Zhongjing, which is used for the symptoms caused by deficiency, which can regulate qi and blood and improve the course of the disease. In addition, there are some new ** in modern Chinese medicine, such as traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc., which can be used to assist the relevant symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus.
To sum up, there are many reasons why SLE "prefers" women for a variety of reasons. A woman's physical characteristics and emotional factors can increase the risk of developing the disease. In terms of qi and blood conditioning in traditional Chinese medicine, it can provide patients with the necessary assistance.
