An old man once asked me:In the past, Chinese medicine could cure many diseases, but now why is it not very effective? I said: Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, and it depends on the efforts of generations to cure diseases. But now you go and look at those TCM universities, the students don't study Chinese herbal medicineFour gases and five flavors, ups and downs, warm and cold, but study their composition. Even the pharmacopoeia began to label the ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines, indicating that Chinese medicine has begun to move closer to Western medicine from the roots. Young Chinese medicine practitioners do not follow the old path, use the confrontational thinking of Western medicine to treat diseases, and even directly recommend patients to take Western medicine and undergo surgery. So, the current Chinese medicine is not what it used to be.
The older generation of Chinese medicine practitioners, they are the kind of conscientious and down-to-earth people, and the current Chinese medicine does not seem to have that kind of "root". It's like cabbage that freezes outside in winter, and once it is moved indoors, it gradually rots.
Let me give you an example:
A depressed person came to me, hisThe tongue coating is thin and white, the veins are thin, and the strings are smooth, is on the basis of physical weaknessQi stagnation and blood stasis lead to depression, soPessimistic and disappointed, worried, sad, insomnia and dreams, easily tired, and poor appetite.
He had been taking sertraline and other medications, but the results were mediocre. His friend had also come to see me before, and he thought it was working well, so he brought him over. As soon as we met, he asked me, "Doctor, can you guarantee that Chinese medicine can cure depression?" I smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, not only will it be cured, but it will not let you suffer." ”
After learning more about it, I opened a party for him:
Bupleurum, incense, tangerine peel, citrus aurantium, oystersAt the same time, it is compatible with drugs that invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, such as:Ginseng, astragalus, codonopsis, atractylodes, etc.
He then asked, "When will I get well?" I told him, you see that the amount of bupleurum in this is larger than other medicinal materials, and when you use almost 3 catties of bupleurb, it will be fine.
The result? He used it for less than 30 days, insomnia, dreams, poor appetite and much better, I adjusted the prescription slightly, after more than two months, his mood became very stable, and the pessimistic and misanthropic thoughts were basically gone. Later, he returned to his normal life, ** and what depression.
What is the reason for this?
It's actually simple, his tongue is pale and his pulse is thin, which can be judgedYang deficiency in the spleen and kidney. This can easily lead to sleepiness and inactivity, panic and suspicion, self-blame, or even misanthropic thoughts or behaviors, weight loss, fatigue, abdominal distension and loose stools. At this time, the spleen and kidney should be warmed and nourished, and the liver should be nourished and depressed.
So, I'll go firstUse Bupleurum to reconcile the inside and the outside, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and lift the sunto alleviate the patient's depression and use it againAstragalus, Atractylodes atractylodes and tangerine peel to "straighten up", strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and enhance the function of the spleenOnly when the righteous qi is replenished can we have the strength to attack the evil qi. Use it lastOysters come to calm the liver and latent yang, and calm the nerves.
* Depression is a constant battle.
In this industry for many years, my deepest experience is that treating diseases is like climbing a mountain, you have to climb up step by step, and you can't be opportunistic. When you encounter high blood pressure, don't just take blood pressure medication; If you encounter coronary heart disease, don't rush to do a stent; When you encounter depression, don't think about electroconvulsion. It sounds simple, but in reality? There are more and more incurable diseases, and over time, the body's immune system and repair ability are destroyed, and even the diseases that could have been cured have become incurable.
I am a psychiatric fan, I have been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and have accumulated a lot of experience, such as depression, anxiety, semen, bipolar or mania and other troubles, you can send me a private message, I will use the consultation to give you some help.
