In the case of angina, TCM usually prefers the use of warm drugs and less cold drugs. This is determined by the cold, heat, and virtual properties of the diseased body. For the symptoms of angina, the painful condition is exacerbated by exposure to cold stimuli and relieved by warm stimuli. Therefore, for the diagnosis and ** of angina, it is still necessary to start from the patient's cold, heat, deficiency and real attributes.
With the rapid development of modern medicine, the types and quantities of drugs are becoming more and more diverse, bringing more choices to patients. However, this has also led many patients to blindly take medications, especially those that they believe can improve blood circulation and relieve pain. Among them, Chinese patent medicines that invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis are favored because of their claimed efficacy.
Although these medications may help relieve symptoms in some cases, most of them contain ingredients of cold properties. Long-term use, especially without the guidance of a medical professional, may cause the cold in the patient's body to worsen. Not only may this not lead to disease, but it may pose a potential threat to the patient's health.
In clinical practice, most patients with cardiovascular disease present with a deficiency of righteous qi. If such patients do not have a comprehensive diagnosis of the six meridians and eight outlines, and blindly use drugs to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis only based on symptoms such as angina, it is often difficult to achieve the desired effect. In fact, improper medications** can worsen the condition and even cause angina attacks to become more frequent.
Cold and heat are constant, but virtual and real are impermanent"This ancient theory of traditional Chinese medicine profoundly reveals the complex changes of diseases in clinical practice. For patients with angina, although the manifestations of cold and heat are sometimes not obvious, the pathological products are present"Real"and the human body is upright"Virtual"But it often becomes the key to the disease. For example, the symptoms of chest paralysis described in "Jin Kui Yaolu: Chest Paralysis and Heartache and Shortness of Breath Syndrome and Treatment Ninth Article 5", such as ruffians in the heart, qi knots in the chest, chest fullness, and reversibility under the flank, are all empirical manifestations. At this time, the white cinnamon branch soup of citrus aurantium is a good medicine for reducing retrograde qi and reducing swellingAnd ginseng soup is the first evidence of the great deficiency of qi, drinking from the bottom, and the chest full of qi.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, pathological products do not have specific attributes of the six meridians, but the causes of their occurrence and the disease reactions caused by them are closely related to the location, nature and condition of the diseased body. Therefore, for the pathological products, in addition to paying attention to their own solutions, we should also actively deal with the cold, heat, virtual and real environment of the six meridians. For example, phlegm and dampness should be dissipated, but if it is cold, it needs to be warm, and if it is hot, it needs to clear heat.
