Since the beginning of the volcano, the major hospitals are full of compressing patients, and now winter and summer treatment is increasingly respected by the public as well as the cream tonic, year after year. Chinese medicine experts reminded, winter disease summer treatment can not be carried out blindly, must be dialectical treatment, different from person to person. Summer dressing has a superimposed effect this summer winter sickness summer treatment patients show an accelerating trend of incremental growth, some Chinese medicine hospitals can not even meet the needs of patients. The reporter learned from the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Shuguang Hospital, the hospital this year to actively tap the potential to increase the number of more than 1,000 dressing clinic, did not expect the late June, from the volcano there are still a dozen days, the 7,000 more than all booked empty. The “summer treatment” is not just a plaster Why is the compress patient in the “summer treatment” patient growth is particularly rapid? The most people apply plaster nowadays, because this method is more convenient to operate, the effect is also more obvious, the hospitals are more willing to carry out. In fact, the Chinese medicine “summer treatment” means a lot of internal consumption of tonics, acupuncture point cupping, moxibustion, umbilical therapy, gua sha, medicinal bath, etc. can be selected according to the patient’s situation. The public’s misconceptions about winter and summer treatment also include a lack of awareness of the types of diseases it treats. It is also rather one-sided to think that chronic respiratory diseases that do not heal all year round are suitable for winter and summer treatment. The so-called winter illnesses are treated in summer, which is the traditional preventive treatment method of Chinese medicine. Patients with winter diseases have a colder physique, and when combined with the winter environment, the two cold conditions are easy to develop and difficult to treat in winter. At the peak of summer, when the pores of the body are open and the qi and blood are flowing, the use of TCM herbs to supplement yang qi facilitates the absorption of drugs, and the supplementation of yang qi during the heat of the day, together with the stimulation of specific acupuncture points, can activate the yang qi in the body, improve the physique and strengthen the immune system with the help of the force of nature, which helps to reduce the number of winter attacks and symptoms. Therefore only a class of diseases that tend to flare up or worsen in winter are its indications, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, frostbite, allergic rhinitis, etc. Chronic inflammatory diseases that flare up all year round are not suitable. In addition to the well-known respiratory diseases, chronic diarrhea, chronic colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis and other conditions related to cold are also suitable for winter and summer treatment. Many patients who choose winter and summer treatment are blindly following the trend, listening to the good results of others, also request the same treatment. In fact, winter and summer treatment, like other Chinese medicine, requires evidence-based treatment and individualized treatment. It is best for the patient to have a diagnosis from a Chinese medicine practitioner to see if his or her physique and condition are suitable for winter and summer treatment. Generally, patients with insufficient yang energy, cold hands and feet, fear of cold, fear of wind and cold, tired and sleepy, or prone to allergies and relatively low immunity are better treated. If the patient belongs to the hot disease, Yang Qi is already sufficient, it is not suitable to use warm Yang medicine for winter and summer treatment. In addition, pregnant women, people with serious cardiopulmonary disorders, people who are allergic to drugs, people with blisters and broken skin, and patients with acute attacks of diseases are not suitable for compressing. For patients who have already started winter treatment, they should not be in a hurry. Winter treatment is not an immediate treatment and generally requires 2-3 years of continuous treatment or longer to be effective. If you are not willing to adhere to the long-term patients should not blindly follow the trend. Patients with chronic diseases who are taking medication should not blindly reduce or stop their medication during TCM compressing. The effect of improper living is discounted Some patients feel that the effect is not good after the dressing, some are not the right symptoms, some do not know the dressing of learning. Dr. Zhang Wei reminds that during the period of dressing, exercise should be reduced, avoid sweating, and it is best to wait 6-10 hours after the dressing before taking a shower. Try to avoid electric fans, air conditioning direct blowing, it is best to drape a piece of clothing on the back or drape a towel to avoid cold pore contraction, affecting the absorption of drugs, or play a counterproductive role. During the period of compressing, you should try to avoid cold, salty and other foods that may weaken the effect of the medicine; you should try to avoid tobacco, alcohol, sea food, spicy, beef and mutton and other hair products to avoid the phenomenon of blistering. After the drug is applied, most patients will experience numbness, warmth, heat, itching, pins and needles, pain and other sensations, while some patients have no obvious feelings, which are normal reactions to drug absorption. If the exudate is large, apply a cold compress of 2‰ of safranin solution to the affected area, and then apply purple salve to the area after the exudate is reduced. If the blisters are huge in size, or if there is purulent secretion in the blisters, you should seek treatment at a professional hospital. 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.
