In the clinical treatment of diabetic nephropathy and diabetic foot, the author has used motherwort with good effect and deeper experience, which is described below. Diabetic nephropathy: Whenever I treat diabetic nephropathy, I will add motherwort to the treatment, and often obtain better results. For example, the patient Li, male, 54 years old, was seen on April 7, 2009. He has been suffering from diabetes for 8 years and has been taking oral hypoglycemic drugs. In the past six months, he had fatigue, lumbar fatigue, increased nocturia, swelling of the lower limbs, coldness, and heavy lumbar fatigue. He had urine protein (+~++) and fasting blood glucose of 9.0 mmol/L. He was diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy and had no significant effect by western medicine. The patient was found to have a dull complexion, a languid appearance, swelling below the ankle, a pale tongue with white fur, and a sunken pulse. Treatment with Yimu Cao plus Jin T Kidney Qi Pill formula plus reduction: Yimu Cao 30g, Ze Lan 12g, Shu Di 30g, Shan Pei 10g, Shan Yao 15g, Du Zhong 15g, Silica 12g, Radix et Rhizoma 6g, Cinnamon 6g, Poria 30g, Ze Di 10g, Dan Pi 10g. After taking 6 doses, the fear of cold and swelling of the lower limbs were eliminated, and the fatigue and lumbar sleepiness were improved. After 1 month of treatment with the original formula, the symptoms were basically eliminated. Diabetic foot: I often add motherwort in the treatment of diabetic foot, and I get good results every time. For example, the patient Fu, male, 70 years old, was first diagnosed on November 7, 2010. He has been suffering from diabetes for more than 10 years, and his blood sugar control is not very satisfactory. In recent months, he has been experiencing pinprick-like pain in the middle toes of both feet, which is heavier after night, and is relieved when he gets warm. He was given the method of warming the meridians and activating the blood circulation: Yi Mu Cao 30g, Di Long 15g, Gui Zhi 10g, Chuan Xiong 10g, Angelica Sinensis 12g, Chuan Niu Kne 10g, Wu Zhu 6g, Huang Qi 15g, Dou Wu 15g, Bai Shao 15g. decoction with water. Take. After taking 5 doses, the patient felt a significant reduction in toe pain, and after taking 15 doses of the original formula, his pain was basically eliminated. The direct pathological result of diabetes mellitus is the impairment of microcirculation in the organism, i.e. blood stasis in Chinese medicine. Blood stasis in the kidney leads to diabetic nephropathy; blood stasis in the foot can lead to diabetic foot. Yi Mu Cao is good at entering the blood component, dispelling blood stasis, generating new blood, and at the same time promoting water retention and decongestion. In clinical practice, for the above two diseases, regardless of the deficiency of Qi, blood, yin and yang, we can add 30g of motherwort to the soup in response to the evidence, and we can receive good results.
