Health for All says
Recently, my clinic received a young couple who had strange symptoms after a movie - their whole body was covered with red rashes. This is not an isolated case, and there are quite a few people who have been recruited recently. Through careful questioning and observation, I found that there is a disease to which this symptom corresponds, that is, urticaria.
Urticaria, also known as wheals and rubella, is a multiple, polymorphic ** disease. Patients often have symptoms such as papules, nettles, and edema, accompanied by severe itching. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies it in the category of "rubella itching", which is often miserable because of its complex and diverse symptoms. So, why does watching a movie cause hives to occur?
According to clinical experience, the onset of urticaria is related to a variety of factors, including allergies, infections, medications, environment, etc. In the case of this young couple, my initial assumption is that the environmental factors in the cinema triggered their symptoms. According to their account, the air conditioner in the cinema has been blowing, and the audience is dense, and the air flow is poor, this high temperature and high humidity environment can easily lead to irritation and allergic reactions.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that urticaria is caused by the invasion of the spleen and stomach by wind evil. As the saying goes, "the wind evil pierces the spleen, because the spleen loses its health, and the evil stays and paralyzes the bone joints, resulting in nettles." In the ancient medical book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", there have been records about urticaria, and the corresponding ** plan has been proposed. Among them, famous prescriptions such as Suzi Qi Lowering Soup and Jiawei Magnolia Pills are widely used in the treatment of urticaria. These formulas can reconcile the spleen and stomach, clear wind and heat, and restore the normal function of the body. However, in modern medicine, the treatment of urticaria is generally treated with anti-allergy drugs such as antihistamines and hormones.
For this little couple, I combined the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and referred to the experience of Western medicine to give a comprehensive program based on traditional Chinese medicine. I prescribed Jing Antiseptic Powder, Banlan Root Granules and Cimicifuga Dihuang Pills to clear heat and detoxify, dispel wind and calm down, and reconcile qi to help them relieve their symptoms, and guide them to improve their Xi habits and avoid contact with allergens.
Prevention and control of urticaria is very important. In addition to avoiding allergens and keeping the room clean and ventilated, a sensible diet is also key. For example, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid cold foods, and maintain the balance of the digestive system. In addition, doing more appropriate exercise to enhance the body's immunity can also effectively prevent the occurrence of urticaria.
To sum up, watching a movie that causes a young couple to have a rash all over their bodies may be an allergic reaction caused by hives. Traditional Chinese medicine has rich experience and efficacy in urticaria, and we should use Chinese and Western medicine comprehensively to provide personalized solutions. At the same time, the prevention of urticaria is also very important, we should maintain good Xi, enhance the body's immunity, avoid contact with allergens, in order to prevent and control the occurrence of urticaria.
