Medical case Chen Bo, 76 years old, cough and asthma for more than half a year
76-year-old Chen Bo was a fisherman when he was young, and his long-term life at sea made him develop the bad habit of smoking. One smoking lasted for 50 years, until he was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (moderate to severe) due to repeated coughing in the past two years. ), and only quit smoking under the supervision of my family. Chen Bo took the medicine prescribed by the doctor every day, and the cough was reduced a little, but when he blew the air, his throat would itch, and the cough would not stop. I also had asthma. I couldn’t stop breathing when I went downstairs for a walk. I couldn’t catch my breath. In winter, I am especially afraid of the cold, and I usually have a poor appetite and frequent urination at night. Since the beginning of summer this year, the weather has been hot, and the air-conditioning wind is blowing every day, and the cough and asthma have worsened. After re-examination at the local hospital, it was found that the lung function has further declined. The family heard that Uncle De was very experienced in COPD treatment, so they went to the outpatient clinic together.
Uncle De solves the puzzle, the artificial cold is easy to attack the lungs
Uncle De said that when he was young, Chen Bo relied on his own sufficient qi and blood to fight off evil. Loss makes evil more likely to lurk in the lungs. The two are attacked, and the “debts” owed by the body when they are young appear one by one. Once the weather becomes cold or encounters “artificial wind-cold”, the external evil qi will easily attack the “delicate” lungs first, which will affect the release and descending of lung qi, resulting in constant coughing and asthma; after old age, the spleen and kidney yang qi gradually Deterioration, deficiency of spleen-yang will lead to poor transport, transformation and receptive functions of the spleen and stomach, and deficiency of kidney-yang will result in insufficient warming water, resulting in frequent nocturia, poor appetite and other discomforts. In terms of treatment, Uncle De focused on warming the lungs and dispelling cold, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and following several treatments to regulate the spleen and strengthen the kidney.
Prevention and health care, acupoint application, winter disease and summer cure
The air conditioner is often turned on in summer, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large. In addition, the pores are often opened in summer. If one is not careful, the “artificial wind chill” will attack the lungs, which will cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients to suffer from recurrent cough and asthma. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that “winter diseases can be cured in summer”. Diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which are easy to develop or aggravate in winter, can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine in summer to help uprightness and prevent recurrence in winter. Uncle De suggested that you can usually make homemade traditional Chinese medicine powder for acupoint application, which can improve the symptoms to a certain extent. Choose 5-10 grams of white mustard seeds, 5-10 grams of Corydalis, 10 grams of perilla seeds, 10 grams of Tingli seeds, and 3 grams of Asarum. Powder the above herbs, add an appropriate amount of honey, and make a paste. After heating, take a small amount of the paste and put it on gauze, apply it on Feishu, Tiantu and Tanzhong points, with a slight burning of the local skin, for about 30 minutes each time, once every 3 weeks. People with allergic skin should use it with caution or shorten the application time.
