Health for All says
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, lupus erythematosus is related to the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, mainly due to the deficiency of yin and yang in the liver and kidney. In the traditional Chinese medicine classic "Differentiation of Warm Diseases", there is a classic statement that states: "If the scriptures are ripe, the internal organs can be passed, and the disease will be cured." If you are not familiar with this scripture, your internal organs are not clear, and you will die of illness. "This point of view reminds us that regulating the balance of liver and kidney function is essential for lupus erythematosus.
As mentioned in the famous acupuncture prescription "Four Acupuncture Methods of the Spirit Turtle", the Spirit Turtle Acupoint is located below the transverse process of the first thoracic vertebra of the spine, and acupuncture of the Spirit Turtle Acupoint can clear the lungs and relieve fire, calm the spleen and benefit the kidneys. For patients with lupus erythematosus, acupuncture can be used to regulate the acupuncture points of the turtle, dredge the meridians, soothe the liver and gallbladder relieve, balance the yin and yang in the body, and achieve the best effect.
In addition, drugs such as Xuanshen, Rehmannia and Rehmannia in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are also widely used in lupus erythematosus. These drugs have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and nourishing yin, nourishing the liver and kidneys, etc., and can effectively improve the symptoms of patients.
In the clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine, the Chinese medicine decoction "Hugan Tang" is also widely used in lupus erythematosus**. This formula is mainly composed of skullcap, coptis, danpi and other drugs, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and activating blood, which can regulate liver function and improve the immune system of lupus erythematosus patients.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, lupus erythematosus patients also need a reasonable diet. There is a famous saying in the classics of Chinese medicine: "Grains are the foundation of health, and seeing blood is like seeing life." This quote underscores the importance of cereals for health. Patients with lupus erythematosus should consume more grains rich in protein, carbohydrates, fiber and other nutrients, such as rice, millet, corn, etc., to enhance the body's resistance.
In addition, spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers and Sichuan peppers, should also be avoided to avoid aggravating the inflammatory reaction. Foods such as celery and white radish that clear away heat and detoxify, promote dampness and dissolve phlegm can also be appropriately added to the diet to enhance the balance of yin and yang in the body.
To sum up, lupus erythematosus is a complex disease that can be better understood and ** from the perspective of TCM theory. By regulating liver and kidney function, applying traditional Chinese medicine and reasonable diet, it can improve the patient's symptoms, enhance immunity, and increase the rate. However, when using TCM** lupus erythematosus, it still needs to be done under the guidance of a professional physician and individualized according to individual differences**.
