The effect of tangerine peel on adenoid hypertrophy and rhinitis is mainly reflected in its effect of regulating qi and dissolving phlegm.
Lung qi deficiency is the basic pathogenesis of the disease, and the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the acquired disease, and strengthening the spleen can eliminate the source of phlegm.
The treatment of rhinitis in traditional Chinese medicine is generally based on the principles of strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness, promoting lung clearance, replenishing qi and strengthening health, benefiting yin and reducing fire, and dissolving phlegm and dispersing knots.
Tangerine peel has the effect of regulating qi and dissolving phlegm, and can be used to treat the phlegm and dampness of adenoid hypertrophy. In addition, tangerine peel has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, widening the qi, reducing inversion and reducing phlegm.
Of course, tangerine peel has a certain therapeutic effect on adenoid hypertrophy and rhinitis, but the efficacy of single use is very limited. Therefore, in the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, tangerine peel is often used in combination with other drugs, such as curcuma, neem seed, Lu Lutong and other traditional Chinese medicines that have the effect of promoting qi and invigorating blood, clearing and dispersing knots, as well as drugs such as Poria cocos and Banxia that dry and damp and dissolve phlegm, which jointly play the role of dispersing stasis and dissolving phlegm.
Xiaoli is an 8-year-old girl who has been suffering from rhinitis for a long time, and her adenoids are also showing symptoms of hypertrophy. Her parents took her to see Western medicine, but the effect of drug treatment was not satisfactory, and the disease recurred, so she sought Chinese medicine treatment, hoping to solve the problem fundamentally.
After detailed inquiry and examination, it was found that Xiaoli's symptoms were closely related to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and dampness and endogenous evil. In view of Xiaoli's symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and endogenous dampness, a plan was formulated for her to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness as the main treatment principle.
The formula group includes ginseng (or Codonopsis), Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephalus, boiled licorice, sand kernel, tangerine peel, Fabanxia, coix seed, cinnamon branch, ginger, jujube, etc.
In this formula, ginseng (or Codonopsis) can invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, Poria cocos and Atractylodes macrocephalus can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, boiled licorice can reconcile medicinal properties, sand kernels and tangerine peel can regulate qi and dissolve dampness, Fabanxia can dry and damp phlegm, coix seed can help water infiltrate dampness, cinnamon branches can warm yang and dispel cold, ginger and jujube can reconcile the spleen and stomach. The whole formula can not only strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, but also dispel dampness and cold.
After three months of conditioning, Xiaoli's rhinitis symptoms have been significantly improved, and the adenoid hypertrophy has also been alleviated. Her breathing has become smoother and her mental state has improved significantly.
In summary, the effect of tangerine peel on adenoid hypertrophy and rhinitis is mainly reflected in its effect of regulating qi and dissolving phlegm. However, due to the complex etiology of these two diseases, treatment requires a combination of multiple aspects. Therefore, when using tangerine peel treatment, it needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and combined with other drugs for comprehensive treatment.
