Chinese medicine understands the human body as a macroscopic and systematic understanding of "the unity of nature and man". When the body is attacked by certain internal and external pathogenic factors, the physiological functions of the viscera, meridians, etc. are abnormal, and the blood, yin and yang are balanced. When the coordination relationship is destroyed and various clinical symptoms appear, the human body is in a state of disease. The main internal causes of the disease are weakness of righteous qi, imbalance of viscera, violation of qi and blood, and internal injuries of seven emotions. In this sense, the righteousness of Chinese medicine includes the human immune function of modern medicine.
Chinese medicine believes that immune disease is mainly closely related to the spleen and kidney. The kidney is the innate foundation, and the spleen is the largest organ of the human body and the main residence of immune cells. Deficiency of the spleen, its cellular immunity and humoral immunity function are lower than normal people. Chinese medicine treatment includes two principles of strengthening the body and removing evils, that is, improving its immune ability, suppressing immune response and regulating immune balance.
The method of strengthening the body of Chinese medicine is the method of replenishing, including the methods of replenishing qi, warming yang, nourishing blood, and nourishing yin. Many studies so far have proved that the strengthening therapy has a good immunomodulatory effect, and it is closely related to its anti-tumor effect.
Which Chinese medicines can regulate immune disorders? First of all, the first familiar one is astragalus, which contains astragalus polysaccharide , which can regulate and improve our immune function; the second is ginseng or ginsenoside in codonopsis , and ginsenosides can also enhance people. Of immune function,It can improve T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are cells with immune function. On the other hand, they can inhibit the excessive hyperactivity of immune cells; the third is paclitaxel, which is paclitaxel extracted from some western medicines. It has anti-tumor effects and can also inhibit tumor growth; the fourth is Tripterygium wilfordii, which has significant effects on immunity, such as lupus erythematosus and scleroderma.
