Some time ago I had asked our hospital inpatients what they thought about Chinese medicine for diabetic foot. Everyone was also very frank and said what they had to say. Most of them said that they did not believe in it at first, but there was no good method in the area, so they came with the attitude of trying it out and then thinking of a solution if it did not work. In fact, many of them have been treated with Chinese medicine can not be effective, but is the use of soup, Chinese medicine water soaking feet, I now give you a brief explanation, of or will understand why no effect. Why can’t Chinese medicine be taken internally? In fact, Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, the most critical problem of lower limb ulcers is to control the infection, which can be said to be an emergency, it is difficult to control the infection with Chinese medicine, which ultimately leads to poor results. Why doesn’t a medicinal water soak work? We also advocate the direct action of drugs on the wound wound, so why can’t we use medicine? First of all, in the case of effective medicinal water, the infected necrotic inflammatory tissue is inactive, the absorption and transport capacity of the drug is reduced, even through the necrotic tissue penetration into the drug, it is difficult to play the effect, because the necrotic tissue covered in the above, there are medicinal effect is difficult to resist the speed of erosion of germs, the final effect is still not good. Now there are also many folk herbalists, and the Chinese medicine they sell cannot be said to be ineffective, but it is not the best method for the treatment of diabetic foot. And there are also many people who peddle false Chinese medicines under the name of Chinese medicine to cure the disease for their own personal gain, causing many people to lose faith in Chinese medicine. For your information, Chinese medicine is effective in treating diabetic foot, but certainly not by drinking soup and medicine, not by simply washing the feet with Chinese herbal water, but by first cleaning the infected and necrotic inflammatory tissues based on the overall treatment of the patient, and then applying Chinese ointment externally to the wound surface in order to nourish the wound and debride the muscle. This is the way Chinese medicine should treat wound infection, and it is proved that through the treatment the wound grows well and can reduce the hospitalization time, so it is not a treatment method worth promoting. Therefore, I hope that we should have a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between TCM and diabetic foot and should not be misled.
