Chinese herbal medicine “three volt” compresses for chronic cough and asthma, rhinitis

  The treatment of cough and asthma by using Chinese medicine acupuncture point paste method has been widely used in clinical practice, mainly including “winter disease summer treatment” and “winter disease winter prevention”, which is usually called “three volt paste” and The “three ambers” and the “three nines” are commonly known as “three ambers” and “three nines”. This special treatment of Chinese medicine is effective in preventing and treating respiratory diseases such as weakness and cold, chronic bronchitis, asthma, cough, emphysema, recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, pharyngeal heterosensitivity, etc. It can significantly reduce the attacks of asthma and rhinitis in winter.  According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the root cause of asthma is the lack of yang energy in the body and the development of phlegm, which is a major offense to the lungs. In terms of geography, most of China is located in the northern half of the earth’s temperate zone. After entering autumn and winter, the sunshine time gradually decreases and the weather gradually becomes colder, when the yang energy outside gradually decreases and the yin energy gradually rises;  The “phlegm evil” will rise in the respiratory tract with the rise of yin qi, and the slightest trigger will cause an asthma attack. This is the reason why most asthma patients have attacks and symptoms in the winter season. When we enter the spring and summer season, the sunshine time gradually increases, the outside yang qi rises, the weather becomes warmer, and the yang qi in the human body also recovers with the outside climate change. At this time, “phlegm”, the yin substance, will be suppressed by yang and latent, so that the symptoms of asthma patients will be relieved or alleviated in summer, but the root cause of the attack is not eliminated.  Chinese medicine is based on the impact of natural changes on the human body, the projection of qi and blood running strength and decline and meridian points open and close, and put forward the theory of “winter diseases and summer treatment”, “voltaic days” is the time when the earth accumulates the most heat, the weather is also to the hottest time, the body’s yang energy is the most vigorous, pores The pores of the body open up and sweat a lot. Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and the skin and hair, the use of Yang to open the orifice, dampness and phlegm drugs, choose the points related to the lungs, through the meridians to the internal organs, the “phlegm evil” from the latent place to drive out of the body, hair in the body by sweat and solve, in order to eradicate the original disease, can receive twice the result with half the effort.  Therefore, “three volt days” is an effective treatment method for asthma by choosing the best time. From the perspective of modern medicine, respiratory tract infections are associated with low levels of respiratory immunoglobulins. The “three volt days” acupressure treatment can improve the level of respiratory immunoglobulin and regulate immunity, which is the basic principle of “three volt days” acupressure treatment for asthma.  Our department follows the ancient formula of “white mustard seed coating method” of “Zhang’s Medical General” in Qing Dynasty, and adopts modern processing technology to make the finished “three volts” ointment, which will have a local warm feeling after application, effectively ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the skin. It can disappear on its own. However, due to the different degrees of skin tolerance, after the application of the paste to pay attention to observation, if itching, heat, pain is obvious, should immediately remove the ointment, no adverse skin reactions can be properly extended paste time.
