I am Dr. Liu Puzhao from the Department of Otolaryngology. In this article, I want to talk to you about how Chinese medicine treats neurological tinnitus .
I don’t want to talk about anything else, but I want to talk to you about an interesting medical record.
The protagonist of the medical case is Mr. Qian Zuwang, the master of Chinese medicine.
Once, Mr. Qian met a very interesting tinnitus patient. What's going on with her? He was 38 years old at the time and had tinnitus on his left side for three years, accompanied by hearing loss. In addition, there is always a feeling of blockage in the ears.
When will tinnitus get worse? During menstruation or on rainy days. Once the tinnitus worsens, it will be accompanied by vomiting, and the vomited material will taste bitter and sour. How about its tongue and pulse ? The tongue coating is thin and the pulse is thin and stringy.
In view of her situation, Gan Lao wrote such a prescription for patients to adopt -
Raw rehmannia , Rehmannia glutinosa , Imperata root , Bamboo leaves , Chuanlian, Angelica, white peony root, Cornus , dodder , raspberry, mulberry
As a result, it didn’t take long for the obstruction in the ears to disappear, and there was no vomiting, but tinnitus occurred from time to time. Look at the tongue and pulse again. The tongue has less coating, is normal and moist, and has a thin pulse. Then, continue conditioning.
As for why he prescribed such a prescription, Mr. Qian explained it in the medical records. Qian Lao believes that the ears are responsible for hearing and are the organs outside the heart and kidneys. The heart governs fire, and the kidneys govern water. The succession of water and fire is the basis for maintaining normal hearing. What does
mean? This woman has had tinnitus for three years accompanied by hearing loss, and the tinnitus worsens during menstruation, indicating that it is caused by insufficient kidney yin and qi and blood. The feeling of obstruction and vomiting in the ears are caused by the inflammation of heart fire and , and the emptying is disturbed.
To sum up, her tinnitus is a mixture of false and true symptoms, and should be treated with a combination of tonic and diarrhea. The above prescription is actually Daochi Powder combined Liuwei Rehmannia Decoction with added flavor. Raw and cooked rehmannia nourish kidney yin and cool blood; grass root , bamboo leaves, and Chuanlian clear and relieve heart fire; angelica and white peony root nourish blood and soften the liver. ;
This combination of Gan Lao is very classic and worth studying. Friends who have such problems can treasure it. However, you should not try blindly, but should learn from and apply it under the guidance of TCM doctors.
Do you have tinnitus problem?
