"Treating winter diseases in summer", as its name implies, is aimed at diseases and intractable diseases that are easy to occur or aggravate in winter, such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, cold limbs, chronic gastritis, neck, shoulder, back and leg pain, etc. And intervene in advance with Chinese medicine in summer to improve the body's disease resistance and avoid or alleviate the symptoms in winter as much as possible.
Investigating its principle, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine explained that in summer, especially in dog days, the qi and blood in the body surface meridians are the most vigorous. At this time, the sputum is open and the pores are wide, which is conducive to the penetration of drugs into the body. Then, taking advantage of the peak of yang qi, taking drugs orally or externally, can more effectively drive away the evil of cold and dampness in the body and support yang, thus achieving the balance of yin and yang in the body.
The charm of "treating winter diseases in summer" in the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been passed down by the public, which not only attracts traditional old people and children, but also gradually becomes a fashion among young people, and the number of consultations is increasing every year. "Don't wait until you are really sick to treat." This is the meaning of "treating winter diseases in summer", which has been recognized by more and more people.
The activity of "Treating Winter Diseases in Summer" in the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is 15, which will last until the end of August and open normally on weekdays and weekend mornings.
The acupuncture department is very busy. There is a strong smell of medicine in the room, and patients are lying on each bed with silver needles or medicines on their backs. The waiting area is crowded with people. Several doctors kept responding to the patient's call and were as busy as a bee. Among them, the department director should be Haizhou's voice is particularly loud. He got off work an hour later than usual recently.
For women, the main trouble caused by body cold is dysmenorrhea. Many women have dysmenorrhea as soon as they reach their physiological period, especially in winter. With the aggravation of the cold, the degree of pain will also increase, and some people have dysmenorrhea and even affect their life and work. In this regard, Wu Lingyan, director of gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine, said that dysmenorrhea caused by body cold is more suitable for "summer treatment".
Acupoint sticking is the main means to relieve dysmenorrhea. Different from other departments' applications, traditional Chinese medicine materials used in gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine are more focused. For example, for dysmenorrhea, the gynecological application of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on warming meridians and dredging collaterals to relieve pain.
Children are not as strong as adults, especially preschool children. When they enter the cold winter, symptoms such as fever, cough, cold and allergic rhinitis are easy to recur, which makes their parents feel distressed and hurts their wallets. The aftercare of "winter disease in summer" is to enhance children's resistance and make them not afraid of cold in winter.
"Give the child a chiropractic first, then stick it on the acupoint, and take it off after going home for more than 1 hour." Wei, deputy director of pediatrics of traditional Chinese medicine, said that chiropractic is like rolling dumpling skin. By constantly twisting the skin on both sides of the spine by hand, it plays a role in strengthening the body. At this time, it can promote the circulation of qi and blood, which is beneficial to the human body's better absorption of drugs after acupoint application.
The treatment process is relatively easy and is deeply loved by children and parents. Jia Jia, a 6-year-old girl waiting for treatment outside the door, said, "I used to catch a cold and keep coughing when it was cold. I am most afraid of taking injections and taking medicine. " It's very comfortable to apply here. Just lie in the hospital bed for a while. "Her mother smiled and said," I'm still worried about taking her for an injection. Crying every time. "In the past two years, through the prevention of diseases in advance through' winter disease and summer treatment', her physique has gradually improved."
Lin Danwei said that repeated respiratory infections, asthma, allergic rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy, enuresis and so on. It is easy to catch a cold in winter and is suitable for "summer treatment". Children with stunted height belong to yang deficiency after syndrome differentiation, and summer is also suitable for TCM conditioning.
Like many other departments, acupoint application is the main means of treating winter diseases in summer in traditional Chinese medicine. "Before posting, you should first see the patient, ask questions, and classify according to syndrome differentiation. Especially for more complicated symptoms, you should make accurate diagnosis and treatment according to the different constitutions and symptoms of the patients in order to achieve better health care effects." Shao Haibin said.
The principle is similar, but the specific technique is different. Shao Haibin said that their department is equipped with a low-frequency pulse meter. When in use, the contact end of the instrument is placed in the ointment interlayer, and the medicine penetrates into the texture through pulse vibration. The medicine is absorbed through the skin without gastrointestinal metabolism, which can protect the visceral function.
Respiratory tract, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the treatment fields that Chinese medicine is good at. Yu Abo, who suffers from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular syndrome, has a very slow heartbeat, only 40 beats per minute. Although I didn't feel obvious discomfort, for safety reasons, I carried out basic treatment such as "treating winter diseases in summer" in the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After three years of persistence, Yu Abo's heart rate reached 55 beats per minute, his spirit improved a lot, and his physique improved to a certain extent.
Persistence is the key to cure winter diseases in summer. Shao Haibin said that some patients give up after one or two years, because they feel that their physical changes are not obvious, which is wrong. Due to the differences between individuals and diseases, the effect of "treating winter diseases in summer" is also different, but this is a gradual process, and it is generally recommended to last at least three years.
"In recent years, with the deepening of healthy Zhoushan construction, people's health awareness has been much stronger. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the status of Chinese medicine in the country, Chinese medicine and the concept of Chinese medicine have gradually taken root in the hearts of the people. Therefore,' winter disease and summer treatment' is widely accepted. " Shao Haibin said that the people's health concept has changed, especially the problems of difficult and expensive medical treatment have been greatly alleviated. Now there are more people in fishing villages and even remote islands.
