People often ask me, can depression really be eliminated by just taking Chinese medicine? Is depression really that magical?
I have been practicing medicine for more than 30 years and have seen countless people with depression. I can say with certainty that depression can be eliminated with Chinese medicine.
I have seen a lady before, severe depression for 3 years, has been taking Western medicine to control, the first two years, the symptoms have improved, coupled with the long-term high consumption, so that she slowly had the idea of stopping Western medicine, this stop does not matter, the symptoms **, the discomfort symptoms are much worse than before.
Only then did I realize that it was not a matter for depression to just take Western medicine, so I found me and started Chinese medicine**.
Patient's Statement:Poor emotional control recently, feeling depressed, depressed, unwilling to communicate with others, often anxious, unable to work normally in severe cases; Poor mental state, tiredness and fatigue, post-exercise relaxation; Sometimes flustered, obvious when nervous, easily frightened, usually afraid of cold, but like cold drinks; The stomach is acceptable, after stopping taking Western medicine in the past, loss of appetite, palpitations and insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, need the assistance of sleeping drugs, and still feel tired and dizzy after waking up; The stool is soft and formed, the urine is pale yellow, and there is no abdominal distension and abdominal pain
After syndrome differentiation, prescribe: Bupleurum chinensis, peony, citrus aurantium, licorice.
She's thisDepressionIt's just a phlegm-wet lumpOf course, this phlegm is not the phlegm that is usually stuck in the throat, but the invisible phlegm that Chinese medicine says. If you think about it, if you have been constantly producing phlegm, depression will not be good, so if you want to solve depression at the root, you need to remove phlegm first.
The result?
She was prescribed a course of treatment first, and her mood and sleep improved, and her spirit was better during the day, and her mood was basically stable, occasional fluctuations, nervousness or worry, and palpitations when nervous. After changing a few flavors, let her continue to take it.
After the next two courses of treatment, the effect was obvious, and he was willing to communicate with others, and his mental state was relatively stable, so he stopped taking the drug after a month of consolidation, and there was no follow-up follow-up.
What's going on here?
Citrus aurantium is a good medicine for depression, and has been praised by doctors for generations as "stubborn phlegm can be searched", which means that no matter how stubborn phlegm and dampness are, it can be scavenged. Citrus aurantium can not only dissolve phlegm, but also break qi and dissipate accumulation.
Bupleurum has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression and lifting yang qi, which can activate the stagnant liver qi and make it unimpeded. After entering the human body, it is like a spring breeze, making people change from frustration to cheerful and open-minded.
White peony has a good astringent effect, which can make qi and blood not easy to dissipate. When used in combination with Bupleurum chinensis, it can nourish the liver and blood, dredge the liver qi, and make Bupleurum play a role in raising hair without depleting yin blood.
Licorice can nourish the blood, soften the liver, effectively improve mood irritability, depression, and other drugs to exert the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression.
Among the four flavor medicines, Bupleurum chinensis is the main ascending, Citrus aurantium is the main descending, white peony is the main harvest, and licorice is mainly scattered, which cooperate with each other to regulate the body, ** various qi disorders, and improve liver qi stagnation.
Over the years, I feel that lifelong medication is a **, and it is a doctor's desire for money. Once you pursue these things in your heart, it is contrary to the original intention of practicing medicine, which also leads to the improvement of medical standards, but there are more and more incurable diseases and more and more patients.
