In today’s article, I want to talk to you about mastitis.
This disease is more common in breastfeeding women. It can be said that a woman may be troubled by mastitis more or less all her life.
Speaking of the reason, many people know that it is “hold back”, that is, the secretion of milk is not smooth, the milk orifice is blocked, or the milk cannot be emptied in time. This is a relatively common reason.
However, I want to tell you that the occurrence of mastitis, in addition to the “holding back” of milk failure, may also be “gas” or “support” .
How do I say this? Everyone should know that from the perspective of TCM meridians, female nipples belong to the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin, and breasts belong to the Stomach Meridian of Yangming. If a person is depressed and depressed, the liver stagnation and qi stagnation are easily reflected on the nipples.
In addition, if a person eats too much fat, sweet and thick flavor, the damp heat accumulates, and the heat of the Yangming meridian burns in the milk, which is also prone to problems. Therefore, it is easy for one liver and one stomach to reflect their respective problems on the breasts, resulting in acute mastitis.
For this reason, the traditional medicine of the motherland has always discussed it.
You can see that it is mentioned in the “Danxi Heart Method”: “The mother of breasts, who does not know how to take care of them, is repulsed by anger, restrained by depression, and brewed by thick flavors. As a result, the qi of Jueyin does not work, so the orifices cannot pass through, and the juice cannot come out, and the blood of yangming boils, so the heat is full and the pus is purulent.”
Therefore, in order to prevent and regulate mastitis, firstly, we must manage our emotions well, not to let the liver meridian stagnate and qi and blood not smooth, and secondly, we must close the Our spleen and stomach should avoid a diet that is too hot and too hot, which will only cause the stomach fire to burn.
Having said so much, what should we do if we have acute mastitis?
Here, we explain a clinical prescription for your reference. This is the use of blood vine. The method is as follows:
Prepare 60 to 90 centimeters of Scutellaria officinalis, boil it in water, mix the medicinal liquid, and take it orally in 2 times, once in the morning and once in the evening.
This method, I excerpted from the 1984 “Chinese Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine” for you.
Let’s talk about Scarabine.
What is Sophora japonica? It is a traditional Chinese medicine, but the cane of the leguminous plant dense flower bean, why is it called “Chicken blood vine”? Because the ancients found that after the cane of the fresh dense flower bean was cut off, the red juice like chicken blood flowed out, so it was called “chicken blood vine”.
Chickensis was originally not welcomed by physicians before the Ming Dynasty. In the “Compendium of Materia Medica Supplements” in the late Qing Dynasty, it was the first time that the medicinal use of sagebrush was clearly recorded.
Up to now, its effects are summarized as activating blood and nourishing blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, being bitter, sweet and warm in nature, and entering liver and kidney meridians. It is bitter but not dry, sweet and warm, and enters the liver meridian to activate blood, so it is good at activating blood and removing blood stasis and relieving pain.
Therefore, it has a certain therapeutic effect on mastitis caused by poor liver meridian, Qi stagnation and blood stasis.
However, the treatment of mastitis with Scutellaria chinensis is beneficial to the early stage of acute stage application. At this time, the effect is obvious. If the treatment is delayed, the effect of a single herbal medicine is average.
All in all, the occurrence of mastitis is closely related to our liver and stomach, and is closely related to our living habits. This is what we ordinary people should keep in mind.
