Precautions for the three volt days

Every year, during the “three volt” days of summer, all hospitals are feverishly carrying out “summer treatment”, i.e. “winter diseases and summer treatment”. There are some real cures and some over-exaggerated and abusive ones. Therefore, I would like to talk about the summer treatment of winter diseases on the third day of the year. The so-called “winter disease summer treatment” refers to a treatment method in which diseases that are prone to occur in winter or whose symptoms are aggravated in winter are treated in the summer when the disease is relatively relieved, so as to alleviate the attacks and even cure the disease. There are many ways to treat winter diseases in summer, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture point application, as well as the internal consumption of Chinese medicine and food to warm the yang energy, among which the more representative is the “three volts of paste” therapy. The mechanism of action of San Fu paste therapy is to treat winter diseases in summer, according to the effect of natural changes on the human body, the traditional Chinese medicine to project the changes in the operation of qi and blood in each season, and based on this to develop the traditional treatment method. According to the principle of “spring and summer nourish the yang”, as the yang energy is strong in summer, the yang energy of the human body also reaches the peak of the four seasons, especially in the three volt days, the skin couples are open and drained, so when the acupuncture points are selected for compressing, the medicine can most easily penetrate into the meridians of the acupuncture points by the skin, and can reach the disease directly through the meridians of qi and blood, so the treatment of winter diseases in summer can often achieve the best results. The “three volts” is the hottest time of the year, when the body’s yang energy is the most vigorous, full of qi and blood, the skin is relaxed, the meridians and blood flow, the acupuncture points are sensitive at this time, the drug is easily absorbed. Chinese medicine acupuncture point application has a dual effect of regulating the body through transdermal absorption of drugs and stimulation of meridians. Through the acupuncture point paste, so that the upper, middle and lower three jiao connected, regulate the qi and blood and balance the purpose of yin and yang, so as to reduce the “persistent disease” recurrence. The three volt paste therapy precautions 1, try to avoid electric fans, air conditioning direct blowing, in order to facilitate the absorption of drugs. 2. Avoid excessive sweating when applying the patch, as excessive sweating will affect the fixation and efficacy of the medicine. 3. The duration of each application is 4-6 hours for adults and 2-4 hours for children. After the drug is applied, most patients will experience numbness, warmth, heat, itchiness, pins and needles, pain, etc. Some patients do not have obvious feelings, which are normal reactions of drug absorption. If the sensation is particularly intense and unbearable, please remove the medication in time and rinse the area with water. Do not rub, scratch, or scratch, and do not use bath products or other anti-itch drugs to prevent further stimulation of the local skin. 4, should try to avoid eating cold, salty and other foods that may weaken the effectiveness of the medicine; should try to avoid tobacco, alcohol, seafood and spicy, beef and mutton food, to avoid the phenomenon of blistering. 5, back with red, swollen, prickly, itchy and other symptoms, or the back of the drug stickers appear pinpoint to millet-sized blisters, is a normal reaction to the drug patch, the patient only need to keep the back dry can. If the blister is large or has a small amount of exudate, use a sterilized needle to puncture the blister and use a sterilized cotton ball to absorb the exudate from the blister. If the blisters are large, or if there is purulent discharge from the blisters, or if there is skin breakdown, exposure of subcutaneous tissue, or bleeding, treatment should be sought at a hospital. It should be reminded that TCM dressing is not a panacea, it is only a means of disease treatment and cannot completely replace other treatments. Therefore, patients with chronic diseases who are originally taking medication should not blindly reduce or stop their medication during TCM dressing.
