Whether the elderly bedridden can take Chinese medicine varies from person to person depending on the disease and cannot be generalized.
Most of the bedridden elderly people are weak or sick, they should consult professional doctors to find out the cause of the disease, and then choose the Chinese medicine according to the identification of the disease. If bedriddenness is caused by stroke, TCM practitioners often use treatments such as calming the liver and quenching wind (regulating the function of the liver to get rid of internal wind), resolving phlegm and eliminating blood stasis, and nourishing the liver and kidneys.
In addition, complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pneumonia, muscle atrophy, constipation, urinary tract infection, bedsores, etc., are likely to occur during bed rest. It is recommended that accompanying caregivers pay close attention to changes in the condition and pay attention to keeping the skin clean and turning over frequently.
