Several TCM methods for treating vitiligo;
First, Chinese medicine regulates kidney-tonifying method: Chinese medicine believes that kidney stores essence and essence can transform blood. Kidney essence is insufficient, essence does not turn into blood, and skin loses nutrition, then white spots will appear on the skin. This white spot is pure white. If it does not heal for a long time, the hair at the white spot will turn white. This vitiligo can be treated by tonifying kidney, such as Fructus Psoraleae, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi, Eclipta prostrata, etc.
Second, the method of removing vitiligo and strengthening the spleen: through long-term clinical observation, it is found that some vitiligo is related to spleen and stomach weakness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the digestion of Shui Gu by the spleen and stomach is an important viscera for the generation of qi and blood. When the spleen and stomach are weak, qi and blood will be passive, and the skin will turn white when it loses qi and blood nutrition. Treating this vitiligo by strengthening the spleen can often get better results by strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and enriching blood.
Third, Chinese medicine soothing liver method: Chinese medicine believes that people's emotions belong to the "liver", and stagnation of liver qi will affect the operation of qi and blood, leading to disharmony between qi and blood and white spots on the skin. This kind of vitiligo is often induced by emotional stimulation, and leukoplakia generally occurs in the chest, hypochondrium, limbs and other parts. The treatment should be soothing the liver and relieving depression.
Fourth, Chinese medicine expelling wind method: the occurrence and development of vitiligo is unpredictable, similar to the "wind" in nature. Therefore, TCM analogy thinks that the onset of vitiligo is related to "cold", and "expelling wind" drugs, such as Schizonepeta and Fangfeng, are often used in treatment. Modern pharmacological studies have proved that these drugs contain furan dicoumarin and are effective in treating vitiligo.
Fifth, the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis: the meridians pass through qi and blood, and qi and blood can nourish the skin. If there is blood stasis in the meridians and blood circulation is blocked, local skin will lose qi and blood nourishment and appear white spots. This kind of white spot is always distributed in the area dominated by peripheral nerves. The method of promoting blood circulation should be adopted.
