What is “winter sickness and summer treatment”? It is the guiding idea of Chinese medicine to maintain health and treat diseases based on the relationship between “spring and summer to nurture Yang” and “long summer to overcome winter” in Su Wen. Winter illnesses are treated in summer to improve the body’s resistance to diseases that are prone to occur or worsen in winter, thus reducing or disappearing the diseases that are prone to occur or worsen in winter, which is a concrete expression of the holistic view of Chinese medicine of “unity of heaven and man” and “prevention before illness”. This is the concrete application of the holistic view of “Heaven and Man” and the “prevention before illness” of Chinese medicine. “In summer, when the temperature rises, the body’s yang energy rises, and at this time, the body’s couples are loosened and the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians is conducive to the penetration and absorption of drugs. The “Chinese medicine external treatment method” in the summer can play a greater therapeutic effect, to strengthen the efficacy of warming Yang and tonifying the kidney. Commonly used treatments include acupuncture point posting, acupuncture, internal medication, etc. By treating the body with medication or non-medication in the summer when the natural Yang energy is at its peak, it benefits the Qi and warms the Yang, disperses the cold and opens the channels, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and controlling winter-prone diseases. Why do chronic kidney disease patients need “winter and summer treatment”? Winter is a big hurdle for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Winter is cold, easy to catch a cold; peripheral capillary constriction, blood pressure increases; skin pores closed, toxins are not easily discharged, these may cause renal failure indicators continue to aggravate, many patients in the winter serum creatinine will rise significantly. Patients with chronic urinary sensation, nephrotic syndrome and hormone-dependent nephropathy are prone to recurrence, changes and progression of the disease in the cold and humid climate of the season. Most patients with kidney disease have a deficiency of kidney energy, and are prone to Yang deficiency and cold condensation and internal stagnation in winter. “In summer, the temperature rises, the body’s Yang Qi rises, the human couples are loosened, meridians and blood flow, which is conducive to the penetration and absorption of drugs. The “external treatment method of Chinese medicine” can play a greater therapeutic effect in summer, strengthening the efficacy of warming the Yang and tonifying the kidney. What kind of kidney disease patients are most suitable for “winter and summer treatment”? Patients with primary and secondary chronic kidney diseases, including chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency, hypertensive nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, gouty nephropathy, etc.; patients with kidney diseases and kidney deficiency who need to improve symptoms such as weakness, weakness of the back, weakness of the legs, swelling, frequent nocturia, lack of urination, abdominal swelling, dry stools, poor appetite and nausea, sore bones, etc.; and patients with acute and chronic urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. In addition to this, it is also ideal for the control of chronic inflammation in patients with chronic kidney disease (especially those who have developed renal insufficiency). Older patients with kidney disease know that kidney disease is most likely to worsen with infections, among which respiratory tract infections and skin infections are the most prominent. For patients with combined long-term chronic kidney disease and asthma, it is very suitable for winter and summer treatment in the three volt days, which can effectively reduce the probability of respiratory disease in winter and can delay the progress of kidney disease from the side. Previously, there was an elderly female patient with chronic renal failure in our ward, who had severe dysentery infection in both lower extremities, and had been on long-term intravenous antibiotics for more than a month in the outpatient clinic without improvement, and her creatinine had risen more than 100 during the infection process, after being admitted to the hospital and treated with the far-infrared therapy instrument (large single tablet) in our ward, and with the external and external application of Chinese ointment and the static drip and internal administration of proprietary Chinese medicine, the infection was obviously controlled and creatinine was The kidney function has been protected. The Far Infrared Therapy Instrument is a modern instrument, but the principle is still to warm the Yang and open the veins, improve the circulation, support the Yang and improve the immunity, which is a modern improvement of the ancient classical principle.
