Paste formula, also known as poultice or decoction, is a semi-fluid internal preparation made by repeatedly decocting a compound Chinese herbal medicine, removing the residue and filtering it, and then concentrating the juice and making it with excipients such as gum or honey. Paste formula, as the name implies, has the function of moistening and nourishing. Unlike ginseng and deer antler, which only take care of one side of the tonic, the nourishing formula takes into account the patient’s physical condition, the deficiency of yin and yang, as well as the old illnesses, and formulates the most suitable nourishing formula for each individual through identification, so as to balance yin and yang and thus achieve the purpose of disease prevention and elimination. Therefore, the cream formula is not only a medicine for nourishing and strengthening, but also the best preparation for treating chronic diseases. Winter is the season when chronic diseases are most likely to recur and worsen because of the cold and dampness and the relative lack of yang energy in the human body. The rheumatic diseases in the modern medical sense include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, scleroderma, lupus erythematosus, gout and other diseases related to muscles, joints and skin, which are clinically manifested by redness, pain and stiffness of joints, muscles and skin. According to Chinese medicine, these symptoms are caused by wind, cold, dampness, heat and other external evil invading the body alone or in combination, blocking the meridians, resulting in the poor flow of qi and blood, and with the different yin and yang of the human physique, cold, heat or phlegm and stasis, causing muscle, tendon and joint pain, swelling, numbness, and in severe cases, flexion and extension, forming what Chinese medicine calls “paralysis”. This is called “paralysis” in Chinese medicine. The disease tends to worsen or recur in the cold winter season. The treatment of these diseases requires long-term fundamental treatment, either to eliminate the evil, or to support the positive, or both, and often requires long-term treatment to achieve significant results. At the same time, “paralysis” is a disease that Chinese medicine believes is mainly responsible for the liver and kidney deficiency, because the liver is the main tendon, the kidney is the main bone, tendons and bones are not conducive to the liver and kidney, and some patients are prone to swelling, stiffness or burning redness of the joints and spleen deficiency and damp heat related to the inner growth, and the best time to regulate the three organs is still winter. Chinese medicine believes that “heaven and man correspond to each other”, that is, the human body is closely related to the qi of heaven and earth. As the climate varies throughout the year, the human physiology also undergoes changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Winter is the season when everything is collected, the body’s yang and yin essence are hidden but not dipped, and nutrients can be fully absorbed, utilized and stored. Therefore, choosing appropriate creams for supplementation during this period can maximize the effect of creams, so that the next year’s yin and yang will be balanced, the five organs and six bowels will be coordinated, and the qi and blood will be harmonized. At the same time, the formula is formulated according to patients’ different physical characteristics and different diseases, symptoms and signs, fully reflecting the principles of TCM evidence-based treatment and individualized treatment according to the person, time and place, with holistic conditioning and strong targeting. By taking the formula for 1-2 months, it can harmonize yin and yang, support the righteousness and supplement the deficiency, and combine attack with supplement, which can have better effect than tonics on chronic diseases and sub-healthy people.
