What is winter and summer treatment? As the name implies, winter illnesses are treated in summer for diseases that are prone to occur in winter. “Winter diseases” refers to certain diseases that are prone to occur in winter or aggravated in winter, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, recurrent respiratory tract infections, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. “Summer treatment” refers to the remission of these conditions in the summer, taking advantage of the season when they are in remission, to identify and treat them with appropriate prescriptions and treatments to prevent the recurrence of old diseases in winter or to reduce their symptoms. Winter and summer treatment is based on the theories of Chinese medicine, such as “spring and summer nourish Yang”, “the unity of heaven and man” and “not treating the disease before it happens”. It integrates the knowledge of many disciplines, such as Chinese medicine, time medicine and immunology, etc. The basic idea of winter and summer treatment in Chinese medicine includes two aspects: firstly, it is to make use of the principle that the natural summer yang energy is strong, the human body’s yang energy rises and the cold energy in the body is easily dissolved, so as to better play the role of helping yang and dispelling cold. On the other hand, it can reserve yang energy for autumn, so that the body’s yang energy is not easily injured by the cold in winter, and the body can easily resist external cold in the cold season without getting sick or less sick. Especially the three volt days, the skin coup open, such as the selection of acupuncture point compress, the drug is most easily penetrated by the skin into the acupuncture point meridian, through the meridian qi points directly to the disease, often receive twice the effect with half the effort. The method and mechanism of acupuncture point dressing: Acupuncture point dressing therapy is one of the commonly used external treatment methods of Chinese medicine, refers to the special powder with some kind of liquid and paste, paste in the body of certain points, and to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment of a method The theoretical basis of acupuncture point dressing therapy is mainly derived from three aspects: one is the overall concept, the second is the doctrine of meridians, three is the acupuncture point as a collection of internal organs of qi and blood, has its unique physiological function The third is the unique physiological function of the acupuncture point as a place where the qi and blood of the internal organs converge. Modern research confirms that the stimulation of a certain part of the body surface by acupuncture point application will cause various nerve endings on the local skin to enter into activity, and through the principle of feedback information, promote the body’s nerve and body fluid regulation and immune function, and improve the functional activities of the tissue. Acupoint application therapy has the following characteristics: 1, through the direct stimulation of drug points, and through transdermal absorption, so that the local drug concentration is significantly higher than other parts, the effect is more direct. Even if skin allergy or blister occurs during clinical application, the treatment can be suspended in time and symptomatic treatment can be given, and the symptoms will disappear soon. 3.Patching therapy integrates the strengths of acupuncture and drug treatment, and the composition of the prescriptions used is mostly from clinical experience, which is effective and simple to operate, and is welcomed by the majority of patients. The use of acupuncture point compress in ENT: Chronic rhinitis, sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are common diseases in ENT, although the symptoms of the three are different, they will aggravate or recur after cold. Therefore, according to the principle of “treating the symptoms when it is urgent” and “treating the root cause when it is slow” in Chinese medicine, we adopt a comprehensive treatment method, combining Chinese and Western medicine according to different diseases during the attack period. During the remission period, according to the theory of “internal and external treatment” and “winter and summer treatment”, the use of Chinese medicine acupressure treatment can effectively reduce the number of attacks of cold and rhinitis, alleviate the symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing, and significantly improve the patient’s ability to resist the disease, so as to achieve the purpose of radical treatment. The contraindications of acupressure: Since winter and summer treatment have their own specific groups of people, it can not cure all diseases, and should be selected according to different diseases and conditions, otherwise it can not play a therapeutic role. The medicine and acupuncture points should also be used to identify the disease and the evidence. Patients should be reminded that when choosing winter and summer treatments, they must go to the relevant departments to get the ideal treatment effect. For some heat diseases, yin deficiency fire, pregnant women, skin allergies; sores, boils, carbuncles and other skin damage, as well as serious heart and lung disease patients acupuncture point dressing should not be used. In case of fever and cold, sore throat or nosebleed, suspend the compress. For the first three days after the patching, no hairy food, such as mutton, fish, shrimp, seafood, rooster, goose, as well as onion, leek, spicy, garlic and other stimulating foods, while not drinking alcohol, less smoking. Acupuncture point dressing precautions: the patching time according to each person’s sensitivity to the drug is different, depending on the person, depending on the disease, if the patching time is too long, easy to blister, generally after the patching, local skin redness, prickly itchy feeling, such as skin allergies, local prickly itchy obvious or blistering, no need to panic, can take oral anti-allergy drugs, external use of skin easy, dermatological cream, or timely treatment to the hospital, do not pay attention to the hand to scratch To prevent infection.
