Theoretical basis of this article: "Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology", "Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis", "Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions"
Hello, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, Wen Junran.
A few days ago, a reader joked about me in the background: Teacher Wen, why do you always care about women's health so much? You are really a friend of women!
jokes are jokes, Teacher Wen wants to say, aren’t women worth caring for?
Women have many troubles in their lives, labor, and care. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has special gynecology, and there are famous gynecologists like Fu Qingzhu .
Not to mention anything else, just talk about this menopause. There is a lot of knowledge here.
What Teacher Wen said today is menopausal sleep disorders and waking up in the middle of the night.
Let me give you an example. It was originally published in 1984's " Inner Mongolia Traditional Chinese Medicine ", and it has been almost 40 years since then.
There was such a woman who was 51 years old at the time.
This person usually likes to worry about. She has to take care of everything at work and life. No matter, she was worried.
Later, gradually, she found that it was particularly difficult for her to fall asleep. From the time I went to the bed, I could fall asleep in about ten minutes. Now, it takes more than an hour. My mind is full of mixed things, as if my body is already very tired, but my mind can't stop.
Later, this person's main problem was that he woke up early. After falling asleep, I can wake up three or four times in the middle of the night and dream more. Although you can fall asleep again, the quality is particularly bad.
Later, the situation became more and more serious, so it was difficult to fall asleep again at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, and even stayed up all night.
While the sleep quality is worse, she has been menstruating and dysfunctional for two years.
Before she went to the hospital, she had more and more problems. Not only did she turn pale, but she often had hot flashes in the afternoon and her legs were swollen. At that time, relatives and friends who had seen her said that you should go to the hospital for a look, and your complexion was too bad.
That's it, only if this patient is taken to traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
Inspect diagnosis, the patient's tongue was fat, his pulse was large and weak, and his pulse was deep and weak.
After learning about the above situation, the doctor prescribed a prescription. What? It is Guipi Decoction, plus 15 grams of mother of pearl and 12 grams of white peony. The original recipe for
Guipi Decoction is 18 grams each of Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocoon, Astragalus, Longan meat , and jujube kernel, 9 grams each of ginseng and Muxiang , 26 grams of roasted licorice, 23 grams of Angelica html, and 23 grams of Yuanzhi html.
All of these are decocted in water. What is the result? The patient took 6 doses and felt that all the symptoms were greatly reduced and the quality of sleep at night improved. Later, the patient was cured by taking the patent medicine Guipi Pills.
This is the basic process of medical cases. I would like to talk about the knowledge here with readers. The problem of the above patient is a very common syndrome among women's menopause syndrome, which is overthinking, insufficient heart and spleen, and blood.
I tell you, this woman likes to think about things the most. Especially after middle age, there are too many things to think about. Some people can control themselves reasonably. Some people cannot control it, which will lead to thinking too much, over-using brains and worrying.
What is the result of excessive thinking? It's just a waste of effort. At the same time, the spleen is in the will and is thought. Excessive thinking can also cause spleen deficiency, causing the spleen to produce, qi and blood inadequate functions and abnormal transportation and transformation.
Look at the patient in the above medical case. When she was in the treatment, her pulse was weak and her pulse was deep and weak. This was due to insufficient qi and blood and abnormal pulse encouraging. If the qi and blood are insufficient, the tongue body will not be nourished, so the tongue is fat. blood deficiency , and cannot be glorious on the face, so the face is white. Swelling of the lower limbs is a spleen deficiency, abnormal transportation and transformation, and water and dampness.So, generally speaking, she was due to excessive thinking, which led to spleen deficiency and blood weakness.
The mind is hidden. Not enough effort , I feel uneasy, why should she sleep? Therefore, it is certain that you have poor sleep and wake up early.
At the same time, the spleen can control blood. Spleen deficiency and cannot control blood. What should she use to collect blood? So, it is not surprising that she has irregular menstruation and continuous dripping.
Blood deficiency, the patient will have deficiency and heat in his body. The internal heat was disturbed by the slight heat, and she felt a hot flash in the afternoon.
So, the problem is clearly before us - the patient's problem is overthinking, insufficient heart and spleen, and not nourishing the heart. What to do if
? Strengthen the spleen and nourish the heart, replenish qi and blood, calm the mind and calm the mind.
So, the doctor used Guipi Decoction, plus mother of pearl and white peony.
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine
We have talked about Guipi Decoction many times, so it shouldn't be repeated by Teacher Wen, right? Among them, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos , Astragalus, roasted licorice, and ginseng are used to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi. The fragrance of wood promotes qi, so that it can be replenished without stagnation. Angelica, longan meat, sour jujube seeds, etc. nourish your heart and soul. The long-distance is used to calm the mind and stabilize the mind. Therefore, this is a common prescription for nourishing the heart and spleen, improving , heart and spleen deficiency, and insufficient heart and spleen.
On this basis, add white peony to help nourish blood and soften the liver, and add mother of pearl to help calm the mind and calm the mind.
In this way, the patient's problems can be solved just right.
It can be seen from this that Guipi Decoction is very suitable for women with menopausal syndrome through appropriate addition and subtraction. Of course, the prerequisite for application must be accurate diagnosis. The patient is overworked, weakened heart and spleen, and insufficient yin and blood. This is very different from yin deficiency and fire , heart and kidney failure , liver depression and turn into fire, etc. Therefore, for non-professional readers, you should still learn from and apply Guipi Decoction under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner or a Chinese medicine practitioner.
In short, there are many valuable things in our great Chinese medicine. They are practical and can solve practical problems in our lives. We take out these good things and study them carefully, which will be of great help to our health. Therefore, when and where, traditional Chinese medicine is valuable.
is OK. I'll just say so much about this. Teacher Wen thanks for your reading.
