Our family has a tradition of believing in traditional Chinese medicine.
Growing up, whenever a family member had a minor ailment, cold or fever, etc., and if their own resistance could not withstand it, after a few days of delay, my parents basically had to go to a Chinese medicine doctor to check their pulse and get some decoction and medicine before they could get it. If Chinese patent medicines still don't work, you can start seeing a doctor and take Western medicines such as anti-inflammatory drugs. If they still don't work, you can finally give them infusions.
If you are not lucky, it will basically take about 2-3 weeks to complete this process.
Belief in traditional Chinese medicine should be the tradition of many elderly people.
Nowadays, traditional culture is reviving, traditional Chinese medicine theory is combined with traditional Yin Yang and Five Elements explanations. However, many lectures commonly used in the health care industry often make people confused. Many of the principles here are correct when viewed from this angle, and they make sense when viewed from that direction.
I have experienced some Chinese medicine treatment or physical therapy, and it is indeed effective. is like the " Sanfu post " posted in the summer. Many years ago, my resistance was low and I would catch a cold almost once a month. But since posting the "Sanfu post" continuously, my resistance has indeed improved and I no longer have the fear. I'm afraid of the cold, and I don't often catch colds or have fever.
Acupuncture therapy is also effective in treating some types of neuromuscular pain.
The traditional medicine of our motherland is extensive and profound, and there are still many essences that have accumulated over thousands of years.
But over the years, after several surgeries and some emergencies, I have become more and more accepting of Western medicine and believe in modern medicine.
For example, I had a serious physical discomfort before; and this time I injured my knee, MRI found the degree of injury was level 3, I almost did not hesitate to consult doctors from several Western medicine hospitals, and I chose not to Such a conservative treatment plan. Indeed, it is Western medicine that solves the disease and pain.
The elderly at home don’t seem to particularly agree with this. They always believe that conservative treatment should be adopted, focusing on health care.
Although I occasionally use some traditional Chinese medicine methods, over the years, I have slowly learned that many traditional Chinese medicines contain sulfur, which can damage the liver and kidneys if taken for a long time.
However, these cannot be communicated with the elderly. If you talk too much, they will cause disputes. Some words can only be touched on.
A week ago, my sister fell in a heavy rain and her knee was injured and torn due to the competition. I suggested that she hurry up and go to the hospital, see a doctor, take X-rays, and formulate a treatment plan as soon as possible. However, the elderly people in her hometown and herself may think that traditional Chinese medicine has been effective in the past. So I just prescribed a dressing at a clinic I had trusted for many years and wore it for a few days.
However, I heard about it the day before yesterday and it seems to be more serious. Only then did I remember to go to the hospital for a check-up, and there was even a tendency of ulceration. The latest news today is that she has been hospitalized.
seems to be delayed for a few days.
I sent her a picture the day before yesterday to tell her that I saw a picture of a person’s foot ulcers caused by foot soaking.
This time, while praying that my sister’s knee can recover as soon as possible, I also really hope that my family can slowly accept some scientific ideas.
Traditional Chinese medicine has certain curative effects in some aspects of health care, but many real illnesses can still be solved by modern medicine.
If you are sick, don't delay it. Go to the hospital for check-up in time, even if you go to several more hospitals for check-up.
