The story of Uncle De’s clinic:
Mr. Kuang has been working in Guangdong for more than 20 years. He usually works in construction sites and is exposed to a lot of dust, especially in the first few days. In order to provide for his two sons to study, he often worked overtime until late.
Five years ago during the Spring Festival, Mr. Kuang suddenly developed cough, expectoration, dyspnea, and fever, so he went to a local tertiary hospital and was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
After being hospitalized, his fever subsided and his cough and asthma symptoms were relieved. But since then, as long as the seasons change, especially in the winter, if you are not careful, you will have coughing and wheezing. You will be breathless after walking a few steps, and you will always feel that your chest is stuffy.
Every year, as the temperature gradually drops, his asthma gradually worsens. He can’t breathe after a little exercise. He coughs continuously day and night, coughs up a lot of foamy white phlegm, and has a poor appetite. Sometimes Also have sleepless nights and bad stools. Mr. Kuang accidentally learned that Uncle De was good at treating interstitial lung disease, so he came to Uncle De for treatment.
Uncle De solves the puzzle:
Uncle De thinks that Mr. Kuang has been exposed to dust for a long time, coupled with the lack of lungs, spleen and kidneys, resulting in constant cough and asthma. The lungs govern the qi of the whole body, and the spleen is the mother of the lungs. With the progress of the disease, the spleen is gradually depleted, resulting in the inability of the spleen to transport and transform, the water and grain essence cannot be transported to the whole body, and the phlegm is endogenous and stored in the lungs, resulting in cough and phlegm.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that “the lungs control breathing, and the kidneys control the intake of qi”. The lung disease will damage the kidney qi for a long time. The kidney does not accept qi, and is unable to promote the movement of body fluids. Phlegm, coughing and wheezing constantly.
In terms of treatment, Uncle De focuses on nourishing the lungs, spleen and kidney, supplemented by relieving asthma and resolving phlegm. After nearly 2 months of Chinese medicine treatment, Mr. Kuang’s asthma symptoms were significantly relieved, and his cough and phlegm were also reduced. This year is the 4th year. During this period, Mr. Kuang has not been hospitalized for cough and asthma attacks, and is still continuing to follow-up in the outpatient clinic.
Prevention and health care:
Uncle De repeatedly emphasized that we must pay attention to keeping warm. Many people mistakenly think that keeping warm means adding clothes. In fact, keeping warm does not just refer to the thickness of clothes, but to know when and where to keep warm.
Uncle De suggested that Mr. Kuang should add clothes in time according to the weather forecast every day, wear a long nightgown in the morning, and wear mid-length cotton socks or plush slippers that are higher than the ankle joints. It is recommended not to go barefoot. If you read a book or look at your mobile phone at night, remember to wear a shawl. When the weather is cold, you should choose a warm material such as polar fleece for your home clothes.
At ordinary times, it can be used with acupoint massage to invigorate the kidney and benefit the lung, resolve phlegm and relieve asthma. Optional points Dingchuan, Feishu, Fenglong. Use the thumb or forefinger to place the pulp on the acupoints with moderate intensity; each acupoint is massaged 150 to 200 times, 2 to 3 times a day.
