Rheumatism is a common chronic disease, and its main symptoms include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, limited mobility, etc., which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. As a TCM practitioner, I have accumulated a wealth of experience in clinical practice, especially in the treatment of rheumatism with Jing prescriptions, which have achieved remarkable results. Today, I would like to share a successful case, hoping to bring some inspiration and help to the majority of rheumatology patients.
1. Acquaintance with the patient
My friend Lao Li, who is in his 50s this year, is a retired worker. He has been suffering from rheumatism for more than a decade and has sought medical treatment everywhere, but the results have not been good. Recently, his condition has worsened, and he has developed symptoms such as lower back and leg pain, swollen joints, and poor mobility, which has seriously affected his daily life. At a party, he confided in me about his distress and asked me if there was any good cure. I inquired in detail about his condition and treatment, and conducted a thorough examination of him. I found that his tongue was pale red, white and greasy, and his pulse was thin, which belonged to the syndrome of wind, cold, and dampness. I decided to treat him with the Jing Fang Guizhi Peony Medicine Zhimu Soup.
2. Treatment plan
Guizhi Peony Medicine Zhimu Soup is from "Jin Kui Yaolu", which is a classic prescription for the treatment of wind, cold and dampness. Its main effects are to dispel wind and dampness, warm the meridian and dispel cold, and relieve pain.
Ingredients: Radix Cinnamon Root 12g, Radix Paeonia 9g, Radix Zhimu 12g, Radix Parsnip 12g, Radix Ephedra 6g, Radix Atractylodes Macrocephalus 15g, Radix Aconite 10g, Radix Glycyrrhiza Glabra 6g.
Dosage: One dose per day, decoction in the morning and evening, 15 days as a course of treatment.
3. Treatment process
After taking Guizhi Peony Medicine Zhimu Tang for a course of treatment, Lao Li's condition improved significantly, the pain in his waist and legs was reduced, the joint swelling subsided, and his activities were more flexible than before. He was very happy and continued to take my medication as requested. After taking two courses of treatment, his symptoms basically disappeared and his body returned to normal. In order to consolidate the results, I advised him to take another course of treatment, and pay attention to rest and keep warm.
Fourth, the solution
Guizhi Peony Medicine Zhimu Soup is made of Guizhi Soup with ephedra, parsnip, atractylodes, aconite, and Zhimu. Fangzhong cinnamon branches, ephedra warm meridians disperse cold, dispel wind and dehumidify; windproof and wind-dispelling solution; Atractylodes atractylodes strengthens the spleen and dampness; Aconite is warm and cold; Knowing the mother's heat and nourishing yin; peony and yin to relieve pain; Licorice blends medicines. The combination of various medicines can play the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, warming the meridian and dissipating cold, and relieving pain.
5. Precautions
1. While taking Chinese medicine, avoid eating spicy, greasy, raw and cold and other irritating foods to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
2. Pregnant women, lactating women, children and the elderly should take it under the guidance of a doctor.
3. If you have an allergic reaction or other uncomfortable symptoms while taking Chinese medicine, you should stop taking it immediately and seek medical attention in time.
4. TCM treatment of rheumatism requires a certain amount of time and patience, and patients should insist on taking the medication according to the doctor's instructions, and do not stop the medication or change the dosage at will.
5. Patients with rheumatism should pay attention to keeping warm in daily life and avoid cold and moisture; Appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness; Maintain a good mindset and avoid emotional agitation and overexertion.
6. Summary
Through this case, we can see that Jing Fang has unique advantages in the treatment of rheumatism. Guizhi Peony Zhimu Decoction is a classic prescription for the treatment of wind, cold and dampness, with significant efficacy and few side effects, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application. Of course, TCM treatment of rheumatism requires syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the specific situation of the patient, and the selection of appropriate prescriptions and treatments. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to keeping warm, exercising appropriately, and maintaining a good attitude in daily life to improve the treatment effect and prevent recurrence.
