In the perception of the Chinese medicine community, diabetes is mostly a "dry disease". Yin deficiency is the foundation, and heat is the standard. Therefore, the traditional clinical treatment method is to moisturize yin and dryness. However, in the case of traditional Chinese medicine for many years, we have found that there is another method of diabetes that works very well, that is, the laxative method.
The most commonly used prescription in the laxative method is the famous prescription of the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing - Liquid Enhancement Chengqi Soup.
Liquid enhancement Chengqi soup, recorded in the "Differentiation of Warm Diseases", only 5 simple medicines, compatible: Xuanshen, Maidong, Shengdi, Rhubarb, and Miscanthus Salt. It has the effect of nourishing yin and increasing fluid, diarrhea and laxative, and is often used for clinical symptoms such as yin deficiency and heat, dry stool, dry mouth and tongue, and abdominal distention.
How does this Chinese medicine prescription **diabetes and blood sugar lower?
The male patient, 49 years old, with a 3-year history of diabetes, had taken hypoglycemic drugs as prescribed by the doctor, but the symptoms of thirst, frequent urination, and being able to eat had not improved, and due to the recent increase in work pressure, the patient also added other uncomfortable symptoms.
Chief Complaint:The body is emaciated, the lower abdomen is painful, the constipation is severe, there has been no bowel movement for a week, the tongue is red, the body is thin, the moss is thin and yellow, and the pulse is heavy and thin. Fasting blood sugar 11Around 8mmol l.
Seeing this situation, according to the patient's condition, I formulated the dosage of Liquid Enhancement Chengqi Decoction and told the patient to take it, decoction with water, one dose a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
After taking only 7 doses, the patient discharged a large amount of foul stool, which was stinky, and then felt that the abdominal pain was reduced, and the thirst symptoms were also improved, and after continuing to take 28 doses, the patient's fasting blood sugar dropped to 61mmol l, the complexion looks a lot ruddy.
When the patient returned to the clinic, I adjusted the original liquid enhancement Chengqi decoction, and prescribed a ** prescription for the patient to continue to recuperate, and after a period of time, the patient's blood sugar control was stable, and the weight increased by 5kg, and other symptoms improved.
Some people will not understand, why can diarrheal laxative lower blood sugar?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dry feces will inevitably generate heat over time. Heat will hurt yin, so patients will be thirsty and drink more.
So to solve the root cause of the problem, we must first have laxative diarrhea. If the stool is smooth, there is no source of heat evil. If there is no heat in the patient's body, the fluid will not be damaged. At this time, effective replenishment of fluid can improve the blood environment and lower blood sugar.
