Spring breeze and autumn rain
In the small town to the south, the light of the morning sun shines through the layers of clouds and mist, adding a touch of life to this quiet town. Wang Li, 45, is a beloved primary school teacher among her students. She is conscientious and responsible, cares about her students, and often works hard for the growth of students.
One day, the April drizzle was dripping, but Wang Li felt tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. She tried to take a deep breath, but each time she felt that her breath was not enough, and she sighed frequently. She noticed that the chest tightness was worse every rainy day, accompanied by palpitations and fatigue. Wang Li decided to see Dr. Zhang, a well-known Chinese medicine practitioner in the city.
Walking into Dr. Zhang's clinic, Wang Li felt a fresh fragrance of herbs rushing to her face. She described her symptoms in detail to her doctor.
"Dr. Zhang, I often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, especially on rainy days, and I always sigh and feel flustered." Wang Li said with a frown.
Dr. Zhang listened carefully, nodded, and began to take Wang Li's pulse. After a while, he said, "Ms. Wang, your symptoms are consistent with chest paralysis, which is mainly caused by the lack of heart yang and the obstruction of chest yang. ”
Chest paralysis syndrome refers to a condition in which the chest feels suffocated and painful, and sometimes the pain even extends to the back, accompanied by shortness of breath, wheezing, and in severe cases, even the inability to lie flat.
Wang Li asked a little nervously, "Then what should I do?" Do I have to take medication for a long time? ”
Dr. Zhang smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, we can improve your symptoms through TCM conditioning." I will prescribe a recipe for you, using cinnamon and licorice soup with citrus aurantium gourd and shallot white soup to add flavor to regulate the heart yang and dredge the chest yang. ”
Dr. Zhang wrote down the prescriptions: cinnamon branches, raw astragalus, melon husks, shallots, citrus aurantium, boiled licorice, and oranges, and told Wang Li to take five doses.
Easy as the wind
A few days later, Wang Li came to the clinic again, this time with a relaxed smile on her face.
"Dr. Zhang, it's really amazing, after taking your medicine, my chest tightness has been reduced a lot, my mood is much more relaxed, I no longer sigh, and my heart palpitations have also decreased." Wang Li said excitedly.
Dr. Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, this shows that the effect of the medicine is remarkable." However, in order to consolidate the curative effect, I will add Codonopsis and Yujin to the original prescription, and you will take another five doses. ”
Wang Li happily accepted the prescription, and her heart was full of trust and hope for Chinese medicine.
Eventually, heal
During the third consultation, Wang Li walked into the clinic with a red face, and she excitedly told Dr. Zhang: "Dr. Zhang, after your treatment, my symptoms have disappeared and I feel very good now." ”
Dr. Zhang smiled and nodded, and said, "Very good, your body is recovering quickly. However, you still need to pay attention to conditioning after recovery, and I recommend that you take Gui Spleen Pills often to recuperate and prevent recurrence. ”
Wang Li nodded gratefully, feeling more relaxed and relieved than she had ever felt before. She followed Dr. Zhang's advice and took Gui Spleen Pills regularly, and her physical condition was very good.
Master answered
"Hello, master! I would like to ask, why did you choose Guizhi Licorice Soup, Citrus Aurantium Fruit Melon, Pickled Pickle White Soup for treatment? Xiao Ming asked politely.
Dr. Zhang smiled and nodded, beckoned Xiao Ming into the clinic, and sat at the table next to him. He picked up the teacup, blew on the tea gently, took a deep breath, and began to answer Xiao Ming's question.
"Xiao Ming, the key to the treatment of chest paralysis syndrome lies in syndrome differentiation and treatment. Although Wang Li is not very old, her heart does not have substantial lesions, which is very important. So I prescribed her cinnamon licorice soup, citrus aurantium melon, and shallot white soup. The purpose of cinnamon licorice soup is to warm and nourish the heart and yang, and some astragalus membranaceus and codonopsis are added to replenish qi; The white soup of Citrus aurantium melon and shallots is to promote the yang energy in the chest, so it can effectively treat her palpitations and shortness of breath. Dr. Zhang explained in a calm tone.
The white soup is composed of melon and shallot, shallot and liquor, which has the effects of dispersing knots and dissipating qi and expectorant. 1. Tongyang scattered knots The melon in the white soup of melon and scallion is really the king, regulating the qi and widening the chest, the shallot white is the minister, and the yang is scattered, accompanied by white wine, Xin Sanwen Tong, the qi and blood are activated, which can increase the power of the shallot white qi and yang. Therefore, the white soup of melon and shallots has the effect of dissipating yang and dispersing knots, which is suitable for chest paralysis and heartache. 2. Radiant qi and expectorant The melon in the white soup can clear away heat and cleanse phlegm, and the white shallot can relieve pain. Therefore, the white soup of melon and shallots has the effect of expelling phlegm, and can be used for turbid yellow and thick phlegm, chest and diaphragm congestion.
Xiao Ming listened with relish, he nodded, indicating that he understood the master's treatment ideas.
"Master, your recipe really makes sense, it seems that the theory of Chinese medicine is so rich and exquisite!" Xiao Ming said with emotion.
