Bleeding from trauma is one of our most common first aid situations, and the right treatment can save lives in an emergency. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theory of Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to introduce you to the correct treatment of traumatic bleeding.
First, the principle of hemostasis.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood is responsible for nourishing the whole body in the human body. Traumatic bleeding is the result of a broken blood vessel after the blood has been destroyed, often accompanied by pain and inflammation. The method of traumatic bleeding in traditional Chinese medicine is to promote wound healing and prevent blood outflow by regulating qi and blood.
2. Application of ancient recipes.
In the TCM tradition**, there are many ancient remedies that are widely used to stop bleeding and heal wounds. Here are some commonly used ancient recipes:
1.Jinchuang grass soup: Jinchuang grass, earth dragon, white flower snake tongue grass, banlan root and other herbs are decoctioned, which can clear heat and detoxify, stop bleeding and sores.
2.Cream and blood to fix pain: It is made of grinding of drugs such as Dilong, mulberry white bark, incense, gentian grass, etc., which has the effect of invigorating blood and relieving pain, reducing swelling and stopping bleeding.
3.Qianjinsan: It is composed of herbs such as skullcap, forsythia, grass cassia, chrysanthemum, etc., which can clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and stop bleeding.
These ancient formulas have been proven by practice for thousands of years and have a significant curative effect on traumatic bleeding.
3. Correct handling methods.
Proper management of traumatic bleeding is very important, and here are some commonly used ways to manage it:
1.Stop the bleeding: Wash the wound locally and apply direct pressure to the wound with clean gauze or clean clothing to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is severe, you should seek medical attention immediately.
2.Elevate the injured limb: If traumatic bleeding occurs on the extremities, the injured limb can be elevated to reduce blood flow into the injured area, thereby reducing bleeding.
3.Look for pressure points: For larger bleeding, you can reduce the rate of bleeding by looking for pressure points. A pressure point is a point located at a bleeding artery away from the wound and can be used to stop bleeding by pressing a finger or object against that point.
4.Use herbs to stop bleeding: If the wound is small, consider using herbs such as Jinchuang grass and white flower snake tongue grass to stop bleeding.
Fourth, summary. Traumatic bleeding is a common first aid situation, and proper treatment can play a crucial role. Traditional Chinese medicine ** traumatic bleeding relies on the principle of regulating qi and blood and promoting wound healing, and the application of ancient prescriptions has also been verified in practice. Traumatic bleeding should be treated by stopping the bleeding, raising the injured limb, finding pressure points, and using herbal remedies to stop bleeding.
