Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ke of TCM. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is one of the important organs of the human body, which has the functions of transporting the main organs, unifying the blood, and transfusing the subtlety of the water valley. Spleen deficiency refers to the decline or dereliction of function of the spleen, resulting in the passive biochemistry of qi and blood, and the dysfunction of the internal organs, thus causing a series of symptoms. Gui Spleen Pill is a commonly used Chinese patent medicine, which has the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, nourishing blood and soothing the nerves, and is often used for symptoms such as heart and spleen deficiency, shortness of breath, palpitations, insomnia and dreams. However, some patients not only do not improve their symptoms after using Gui Spleen Pills, but become more and more weak, why is this?
1. The patient's own condition is complex.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs of the human body, qi, blood, yin and yang are interdependent and mutually restrictive, forming a dynamic balance. When a patient has symptoms of spleen deficiency, there may be dysfunction of other viscera at the same time, such as liver stagnation and qi stagnation, kidney yang deficiency, etc. In this case, the use of Gui Spleen Pill alone may not be able to comprehensively regulate the patient's overall condition, but will lead to aggravation of symptoms due to ignoring problems in other organs.
Second, the medicine is not right.
Gui Spleen Pill is mainly suitable for symptoms such as insomnia, dreams, palpitations, abdominal distension and diarrhea caused by insufficient heart, spleen, qi and blood. However, if the patient does not have a deficiency syndrome of heart and spleen, or has other syndrome types, the use of Gui Spleen Pill will naturally not produce an effective effect. Therefore, when choosing traditional Chinese medicine**, it is necessary to carry out syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the specific condition of the patient, and choose the appropriate drug.
3. Bad Xi.
Spleen deficiency is closely related to the patient's Xi diet, work and rest and other lifestyle habits. If the patient still does not pay attention to the diet and rest rules during the medication, such as overwork, unclean diet, overeating, etc., it will affect the normal function of the spleen and stomach, thereby affecting the best effect of Gui Spleen Pill.
Fourth, the dosage of the drug is improper.
The dosage of Gui Spleen Pill is strictly demonstrated, if the patient adjusts the dosage by himself or takes it for insufficient time, overdose, etc., it may affect the best effect of the drug. In particular, when taken in excess, it may also lead to adverse reactions such as drug poisoning.
5. Influence of other diseases.
Some patients may have other diseases at the same time, such as endocrine diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism, as well as digestive diseases such as chronic gastritis and colitis. The presence of these diseases may interfere with the effect of Gui Spleen Pill and even aggravate the patient's symptoms.
To sum up, when patients have symptoms of spleen deficiency, the use of Gui Spleen Pills is not a panacea solution. In order to ensure the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine**, we need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Comprehensively understand the patient's condition, conduct comprehensive analysis and syndrome differentiation treatment. When choosing traditional Chinese medicine**, it is necessary to carry out syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the specific condition of the patient, and choose the appropriate drug. Gui Spleen Pills or other medications should not be used blindly based on just one or two symptoms.
2. Instruct patients to establish a healthy lifestyle. Poor lifestyle Xi is one of the important factors leading to spleen deficiency. Therefore, we need to guide patients to pay attention to diet and daily life, adjust mood, etc., in order to promote the recovery of spleen and stomach function.
3. Rational use of traditional Chinese medicine dosage. The dosage of Chinese medicine is strictly demonstrated, and patients need to follow the doctor's guidance to use it. If you need to adjust the dosage or time of use, always do so under the guidance of a doctor.
4. Pay attention to the differential diagnosis with other diseases. When a patient presents with symptoms of spleen deficiency, care needs to be taken to rule out the effects of other underlying diseases. Especially when the symptoms do not improve or worsen after using traditional Chinese medicine for a period of time, relevant examinations should be carried out in time to confirm the diagnosis.
5. Use different drugs for different syndrome types. In addition to the heart and spleen deficiency syndrome, there are many other syndrome types related to spleen deficiency in TCM, such as spleen qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, etc. Therefore, when choosing traditional Chinese medicine**, it is necessary to choose the appropriate drug according to the specific syndrome type of the patient. For example, for patients with spleen qi deficiency, medicines such as Sijunzi decoction can be used**;For patients with spleen-yang deficiency, drugs such as Lizhong pills can be used**.
6. Combination of Chinese and Western**. For some patients with more severe disease or longer course of disease, Western medicine** can be combined with Western medicine on the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment to improve the efficacy. For example, when using Gui Spleen Pills, it can be combined with some Western medicines for symptomatic treatment** to relieve symptoms;For some chronic gastritis, colitis and other digestive diseases, you can use traditional Chinese medicine in combination with Western medicine** to accelerate the improvement of the condition.
7. Adhere to ** and follow-up. Traditional Chinese medicine requires a certain amount of time and patience to be effective, so patients should adhere to the doctor's instructions when using traditional Chinese medicine**, and have regular follow-up visits in order to adjust the program and monitor the effect in time, and also help to detect and deal with possible adverse reactions and complications in time.
8. Psychological adjustment. The influence of psychological factors on the function of the spleen and stomach cannot be ignored in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine"Liver and spleen"、"Thinking hurts the spleen"and other points of view have illustrated the influence of emotions on the function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, in the process of using traditional Chinese medicine for spleen deficiency, it is also necessary to pay attention to the psychological adjustment of patients, encourage patients to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, and avoid excessive mood swings that have adverse effects on the spleen and stomach.
9. Dietary conditioning. Improper diet is one of the important factors leading to spleen deficiency, so in the process of using traditional Chinese medicine ** spleen deficiency, it is also necessary to pay attention to the patient's dietary conditioning, encourage the patient to maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet, and avoid eating spicy, greasy and irritating food, so as to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach and promote the recovery of spleen and stomach function.
