Western medicine believes that lumbar disc disease, lumbar muscle strain, urinary system infection, reproductive organ diseases and some visceral diseases can all cause low back pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of low back pain is kidney-qi deficiency, which is easily attacked by exogenous wind, cold and dampness, leading to qi stagnation and blood stasis and meridian obstruction.
Doctors usually do some necessary physical examinations according to the patient's medical history in order to find out the cause of low back pain. Don't worry too much about ordinary low back pain. Most patients can be relieved after proper rest or supplemented with some drugs, massage and other treatments. Only a few patients need further treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to the regulation of viscera and qi and blood in the treatment of low back pain, and achieves the corresponding effect through the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine. In the treatment of low back pain, several traditional Chinese medicines have performed well. Today, I will introduce them to you.
Eucommia ulmoides Oliv : the "low back pain nemesis" with complementary shapes
In ancient times, there was a tree called "Four Immortals Tree". It is said that eating the bark of this tree can make you live forever. Although it is only a legend, Sixianshu does exist, and its other name is Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.
Eucommia ulmoides Oliv Its bark can be used as medicine. Its skin is very thick. If you break it and bend it hard, you can still pull out the silk. Even if the skin is broken, the silk is still attached, just like "broken bones and tendons."
In this way, from the point of view of "supplementing shape with shape", people have more confidence in the effect of Du Zhong in treating low back pain. Folks have always had "low back pain, Eucommia ulmoides." Speaking of low back pain, Eucommia ulmoides. Is the first thing that many people think of.
Indeed, Eucommia ulmoides entering the liver and kidney meridian can tonify the liver and kidney, strengthen tendons and bones, and play an auxiliary role in treating low back pain, soreness of waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, night sweats and frequent urination.
This is because Eucommia ulmoides can tonify deficiency and eliminate dampness, as recorded in "Materia Medica Yan Hui": "Where the lower energizer is insufficient, it is not Eucommia ulmoides; Damp-heat in lower energizer is unfavorable to Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. The acid of feet and tibia is not Eucommia ulmoides; Lumbar and knee pain does not remove Eucommia ulmoides. "
Semen Strychni: From "Detoxification" to "Essential Medicine for Rheumatism"
There was a famous poison in ancient times called "pulling machine". Li Yu, Queen of Southern Tang Dynasty, died of heartbroken wine. It is named after the severe abdominal pain after taking it, which makes the head and feet look like tractors (the horn arch is reversed). Pulling machine is a poison made of nux vomica.
According to the medical book Primitive Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty, nux vomica is bitter in taste, cold in nature and highly toxic. If you take it by mistake, it will make people cramp their limbs. " The main components of semen Strychni are brucine and brucine, in which brucine will destroy the central nervous system and produce a strong reaction, which will eventually lead to muscle atrophy.
Although nux vomica is extremely toxic, it is also a good medicine for treating diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processes seeds into medicine, which is cold in nature and bitter in taste, and has the effects of dredging collaterals, dispersing stagnation, reducing swelling and relieving pain. "Modern Chinese Medicine Sea" says that it "unblocks collaterals, strengthens tendons, dissipates stagnation, relieves pain, reduces swelling and detoxifies."
Therefore, as long as it is properly processed, the toxicity of nux vomica can be greatly weakened and become a good medicine blindly. For example, Yaotongning, with Semen Strychni as the monarch drug, is compatible with Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, Radix Cyathulae, Herba Ephedrae, Olibanum, etc., which has the functions of relieving swelling and pain, eliminating cold pathogens, warming meridians and dredging collaterals, and can treat lumbago caused by various reasons, such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
