Five Medicines cured gout. Although this prescription is at a glance, it is the most proud prescription I have practiced for many years. I only use 5 medicines to treat gout. I know very well: If a hospital becomes a fame and fortune, the doctor is like a fly in a glass bottle, with a bright future, but no way out.
20 years ago, when I first started working as a doctor, I felt very happy because the hospital was still a hospital at that time, and the doctors were very down-to-earth, comparing medical skills and medical ethics.
20 years later, the doctors in the hospital compared cars and houses. I was very sad because if a doctor fell into the whirlpool of fame and fortune, it proved that there was another hero who saved lives and a walking corpse in the world.
industry is proficient in diligence, waste in play, and destruction in following. Life climbs from the ocean to land is a milestone in the evolution of earth's biological activities, but those fish that go ashore are no longer fish. By the same token, if a doctor only wants to make money, he can no longer be called a doctor.
How do these doctors treat diseases? Take the gout we are going to talk about today as an example. They first used colchicine and other drugs to control uric acid. With gout stone , they had surgery.
Many patients go to the hospital, treat repeatedly, and have recurring attacks. Western medicine has always emphasized the uric acid indicators. It is also the first task to reduce uric acid during treatment, but they have never thought about why human uric acid increases?
Last year, I received a gout patient. At first, I had a headache with my toes, but later it became more and more serious. I didn’t dare to touch it at all. After being introduced by a friend, I came to me and asked me to help him see. After
, I gave him a prescription: cypress , Atractylodes, fresh white thatch roots, tender branches of poplar trees, and turtle shell powder.
When he saw that there were only 5 medicines, he said: Doctor, are you mistaken? Can 5 medicines be cured by my disease?
I said: Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are not in quantity. If 5 medicines can solve your problem, I will not use 6 medicines, because prescribing one more medicine means that you have to suffer more trouble and spend more money. The patient took
for more than a month. During this period, he had a gout incident twice. After that, he did not make any recurrence. The outpatient clinic was regularly followed up and has been safe.
gout is called the White Tiger Festival in the folk, which means that it hurts like a tiger biting the joint, making people feel painless, but tracing the root cause is very simple. In my opinion, it is just a ball of damp heat .
When gout occurs, the redness and swelling appear in the joints is heat. Where does this heat come from?
's answer is from moisture. The moisture accumulates in the body for a long time and will turn heat. It's like putting a wet towel in a closed plastic bag. You can check it out in the evening. The wet towel will get hot. This is dampness and heat.
understood this point, and I first used Huangbo and Atractylodes. Huangbo is one of the four bitter medicines, and the effect of clearing heat is quite powerful. The ancients said that Huangbo clears heat from head to heel, which means that it can clean up all the heat from head to toe. Atractylodes have two functions here, one is to strengthen the spleen and the other is to dry dampness.
and then use white turtle root , small-leaf poplar tender branches, and turtle shell powder. These three medicines are very good. White turtle root can cool blood and stop bleeding, clear heat and detoxify. turtle shell is the back of turtle . It has the effects of nourishing yin and clearing heat, suppressing yang and extinguishing wind, strengthening muscles and bones, softening and firming, and dispersing nodules. It can disperse blood stasis and eliminate spleen swelling.
focuses on the tender branches of poplar trees. The poplar lipid contained in the middle can promote the recovery of blood flow and microcirculation after microcirculation disorders, reduce the "concentration", "coagulation" and "aggregation" of the blood. It also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and lasts for a relatively long time. It is a good medicine for treating gout.
practice medicine for many years, treating many patients and using many prescriptions, but what I am most satisfied with is this one. I wrote it out today, hoping to help more people.
