How does traditional Chinese medicine treat hepatitis?-one
Currently, there are a lot of hepatitis B patients around us. According to a survey report, 10% of people in China are hepatitis B patients.Obviously hepatitis has become a huge threat to our health, so we should attach great importance to preventing and treating this disease.Currently, most patients with hepatitis are seeking Western medicine for treatment, but the results seem to be that the number of patients is not reduced, and the more they are treated, the more they are treated.Many patients retreated to traditional Chinese medicine, so they wanted to know how to recover from hepatitis according to traditional Chinese medicine theory.Below I will analyze the correct treatment and recovery methods of hepatitis from the physiology to pathology of the liver in detail, combining six meridian syndrome differentiation and clinical mistreatment.
Physiological pathology
Hepatitis, as the name suggests, is inflammation of the liver.This is the name of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has never had such a name for two thousand years.How does traditional Chinese medicine understand liver and hepatitis?Let’s first analyze the physiological and pathological characteristics of the liver from traditional Chinese medicine theory.
The liver belongs to wood and is suitable for the east, its taste is sour and its nature is warm.The liver is responsible for ascending and storing blood.In other words, whenever the yin blood in the human body is to rise and discharge, it must rely on the action of the liver. The liver can increase the temperature of the yin blood from the left, which is the basic function of the liver.Liver disease means that the function of the liver is damaged, and the first thing a patient shows is insufficient yin blood rise.It is manifested as symptoms such as sallow complexion, fatigue, and mental deficiency.Wood overcomes earth. If the liver qi is too strong and the spleen and stomach earth qi is damaged, it will lead to the impairment of the transportation, transformation and acceptance function of the spleen and stomach earth, and the patient will experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, soft limbs, sleepiness, abdominal distension and fullness, and jaundice.If the liver is not stagnant, the liver qi will be uncomfortable, and if the qi is stagnant, the blood stasis will occur. Therefore, patients often experience flank pain. If the flank pain is long, it will gradually develop into hard pain in the liver area, which are all related to blood stasis.
From this we know how to restore the health of patients with liver disease?The most basic one is to restore the liver's temperature rise function.The liver likes warmth and hates chills, likes moisturization and dryness, likes rise and fall.Therefore, all warm, moist and rising are often what the liver likes and can also treat liver diseases.Anything that is opposite will definitely hurt the liver and cause the condition to worsen.
Let’s first look at some common symptoms of hepatitis: acute hepatitis may have fatigue, fever and a cold in the early stages. The fever subsides after about 3 to 5 days, so it may be misdiagnosed as influenza.Then, gastrointestinal symptoms appear, including anorexia, nausea, vomiting, etc., and then symptoms such as yellow eyes, yellow urine, and general fatigue appear.Chronic hepatitis often has general fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, bitter mouth, muscle or joint pain, loss of appetite, nausea, greasiness, discomfort at the right upper abdomen, bloating, and diarrhea.In severe cases, jaundice may occur (yellow skin, eyes, yellow urine, thick brown agent, etc.).Some cases may have liver disease face, which is manifested as dark, yellowish-brown, rough, dark purple lips, etc., which can also cause the dilation of the face capillaries, spider nevus and liver palms, and some patients may have spleen enlargement.
We analyze these symptoms according to traditional Chinese medicine theory, which can avoid following the Western medicine's butt and being misled by the Western medicine's disease name, which is of great benefit to correctly understanding hepatitis.
First of all, this type of patient has a three-yin constitution and has always insufficient yang energy, so he is prone to illness by evil guests.The early appearance of the sun was obvious, but the positive was weak inside and the evil was exposed outside. The sun was unable to resist evil, and the fever must also be low in fever.Three or five days later, the evil goes deep into Shaoyang from the sun, causing the symptoms of Shaoyang disease, such as bitter mouth, dry throat, dry retching, and hehe, hey, and lack of desire to eat.Shaoyang is the hub of yang energy. If the evil cannot be penetrated at this time, the disease will continue to penetrate deeper, and the guest enters Taiyin, causing Taiyin disease, which will cause yellow eyes, yellow urine, yellow eyes, and Taiyin and Yang deficiency syndrome.At this time, the evil first enters the Taiyin, and the positive energy has not been damaged. You can still support the yang and suppress the yin to penetrate the evil and go out, so that the evil can penetrate and the body can be safe.If jaundice is seen and it is distinguished as damp heat, and if bitter and cold are abused to damage the yang energy, the positive energy will be unable to eliminate evil, and the disease will be deeply subdued to the three yin, which will cause chronic hepatitis.Therefore, the so-called chronic hepatitis must be caused by yang deficiency and evil love.
If the evil energy sinks into Taiyin, it will manifest as abdominal distension, abdominal fullness, diarrhea, and bad eating of greasy food.Judging from the symptoms, hepatitis at this time is actually a spleen and stomach disease in traditional Chinese medicine.The positive energy of the human body has been damaged, and the function of the spleen and stomach to rise and decrease the turbidity is lost. The clear yang cannot rise on the left, and the turbid yin cannot fall on the right.It can be said that most chronic hepatitis is Taiyin disease.Patients usually have a Taiyin constitution. If the spleen yang is not sufficient, they will have pale complexion and chronic diarrhea after a long abdomen. The evil guest will fall into the weak place and it will be difficult to cure it.At this time, hepatitis is no longer a liver disease, but an obvious spleen and stomach disease.
If it is hidden in Shaoyin, it will be manifested as symptoms such as lack of energy, fatigue, but want to sleep, dark complexion, yellowish brown and thin pulse.The patient must have a Shaoyin constitution, and he will usually have symptoms such as cold hands and feet, fear of cold and warm, and pale lips.Deficiency of kidney yang is the main cause of liver disease becoming chronic, and helping Shaoyin and yang energy is the root cause.Never use bitter and cold anti-inflammatory drugs if you see the word "Yan" or abuse it, the condition will become worse, and even lead to cirrhosis.
If it falls into Jueyin, it will be manifested as bitter mouth, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, flank pain, dilatation of face capillaries, spider nevus, liver and palm, and spleen enlargement.Jueyin is the key to the separation and integration of yin and yang. To treat hepatitis B, you must first understand Jueyin.Jueyin is the end of the three yins, or Yang returns and turns into Shaoyin, or Yang comes out and turns into Taiyang, or Yang goes out and turns into dead syndrome. Therefore, when the disease reaches Jueyin, it is entirely based on the direction of the yang energy in the human body to predict the return of the disease.If the disease is caused by this, yin and yang will be mixed, and the top will be hot and the bottom will be cold.If the heat is high, spider nevi will be mostly on the face, upper limbs or chest.Because the liver is responsible for storing blood, if liver disease occurs, blood will be stagnant from the upper part.The pain in the two flanks is caused by the conflict between the evil and the righteous and the liver meridian.Liver diseases often have bitter mouth, dry throat, swelling or painful pressing on both sides of the head. This is a Jueyin meridian syndrome and cannot be identified as a Shaoyang syndrome.Diarrhea is fast but not painful. This is a typical symptom of heat at the top and cold at the bottom and separation of yin and yang. It cannot be identified as Taiyin syndrome.
After the above analysis, we have made it clear that the so-called hepatitis is a disease in which external evils come from the sun and sink into the three yin.In the early stage, the sun should be turned on to relieve the exterior and to strengthen the body, and it can be effective quickly.When the disease evil is deep and subdues the three yins, hepatitis should be determined to be a yin syndrome. It is necessary to support the yang energy and "enhancing the source of fire to eliminate yin". Do not abuse the medicine that harms yang with bitter cold.
Six classics syndrome differentiation and treatment
For traditional Chinese medicine treatment of chronic hepatitis, there are several key points specifically.
If the symptoms of Shaoyin and Taiyin are obvious, the symptoms of Shaoyin and Taiyin are first removed.Do not treat the liver by seeing the liver, but should be treated according to the symptoms.For Taiyin syndrome, you should support Taiyin's yang, and use Sini Decoction as the main method, and also use it to penetrate the exterior to eliminate evil and expel Shaoyang.The prescription must be combined with Chaihu agent.For Shaoyin syndrome, Fuzi Decoction is the main one, and the Guanyuan point is moxibustioned to support Shaoyin and yang energy, and cultivate the essence and consolidate the foundation.Jueyin disease must first break the ice and remove cold. Use Si Ni Decoction to add and subtract several doses. When the pulse is soft and weak, then turn slightly and slightly stringy, you can change the prescription Wumei Wan to pound Jueyin to guide yang into yin and eliminate the yin.
If the symptoms show that the upper heat and cold are obvious, then use Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction to open up the sun, support Taiyin, and stimulate Shaoyang.If the cold evil is severe and the pain is obvious, or the low fever does not subside, Danggui Sini Decoction combined with Jueyin and opens the gate of the Taiyang.If the limbs are cold, you can use Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction and Sini Decoction to enhance the effect of warming Shaoyin.If Taiyin is cold and excessive, the patient's stomach is cold, bloated, and has a loss of appetite, and loose stools, taking it with sulfur powder in Fuzi Lizhong Decoction can directly replenish the yang energy of Taiyin.If the three yin combination is combined, Si Ni Tang and Fu Zi Tang should first help the three yin and yang energy, which is the way to cure the root cause.
Hepatitis is difficult to treat, and the hepatitis index is difficult to turn negative, but why is it difficult to treat?Because of yang deficiency, evil is strong.On the one hand, the disease is more severe, but the fundamental reason is that the body's yang deficiency cannot be completely restored. Doctors treat the disease too much and see the indicators and withdraw the indicators.Therefore, when treating chronic hepatitis B, you must grasp the essence of the three yin disease, focus on warming the yang and helping the positive energy, and there will be a day of complete cure.Yang deficiency is the fundamental cause of hepatitis B, and warming yang is the fundamental way to treat hepatitis B, which is to work hard on the three yin.Traditional Chinese medicine has positive significance in this aspect. Patients should not ignore traditional Chinese medicine and seek Western medicine in vain.
Yang does not produce without yin, and Yin does not transform without yang.While paying attention to supporting yang, avoid being too hard and dry, which will cause yin to become worse.Therefore, it is also necessary to apply a little sour and sweet product to produce liver fluid and soften its dryness.I often combine angelica, wolfberry and other medicines in yang-boosting pot, which will be warm but not dry, which can be quite consistent with the softness and rise of the liver.
In short, the key to treating liver disease is to rather be warm than cold.
