There are many types of skin diseases and their mechanism of occurrence is complex.
According to " Huangdi Neijing ", the functions of the five internal organs are closely related to the skin, and any abnormal function of any internal organ may cause skin diseases. Therefore, when there is a problem with the skin, we need to observe carefully and make comprehensive judgments.
The clinical symptoms of heart fire are mainly skin pain, itching, ulceration, etc. According to the "Su Wen·Zhi Zhenyao Da Lun" "all pains, itchings and sores belong to the heart", which is mostly closely related to the heart.
Therefore, when the skin has the above problems, it is necessary to clear the heart fire, and you can use lotus seed heart, coptis chinensis, light bamboo leaves, raw licorice, etc. to make tea and drink.
The lung qi is not revealed
"Lingshu·Five Colors" says "the lungs combine with the skin", and "Su Wen·Yang Response to the Elephant" further points out that "the lungs produce skin and fur." It can be seen from this that the lungs and skin diseases are directly related. Common clinical skin diseases such as rubella and urticaria are often caused by sensation of external evils and loss of lung qi.
This type of patients can use drugs that promote lung qi, such as Suye , Fengfeng , Cicada , etc., and make tea and drink.
Liver failure and discharge
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver controls the body's qi mechanism and discharge. If the qi is stagnant and is not smooth, and it turns into fire and spreads to the skin, it will cause heat and toxins. For example, shingles, it can be treated from liver fire .
Ming Dynasty Sun Yikui recorded in "Medical Essay Xuyu" that his teacher Huang Gutan believed that the occurrence of shingles was caused by "liver depression for a long time and could not be overcome, which was insulting it." Therefore, he used "triplethidium kiricotta licorice safflower soup" instead of gentian and other drugs to treat this disease, and achieved good results.
Splenishment is lost in the transportation and transformation
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen controls the transportation and transformation of body fluids. If the spleen's transportation and transformation function is abnormal, the qi and blood are insufficient, and the skin is not nourished, the skin can be seen with yellow and yellow; if the transportation and transformation function is dysfunctional, the water and dampness stay, dampness and heat are stagnant, dampness and heat fight, and the external skin can be seen with edema and erosion.
Therefore, various eczema patients with skin itching, exudation, ulceration, etc. can be used to treat dampness and spleen-relieving medicines such as coix seed , fried Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos and other drugs to remove dampness and strengthen spleen.
Kidney essence loss
"Su Wen·Yang Response to Elephant" proposes that "the skin and fur produce the kidneys" emphasizes the close connection between the kidneys and the skin and fur. The hair is the rest of blood, and the essence and blood are of the same origin. The rise and fall of kidney essence directly affects the growth of hair. Deficiency of kidney essence can cause hair to lose nourishment and fall off. "Su Wen·Reverse Comment" also says that "the kidney is the water organ and controls body fluids", emphasizing that the kidney's gasification function mainly controls the transportation, transformation and distribution of body fluids throughout the body. If the kidney's gasification function is malfunctioned, it will cause dry skin, desquamation, edema, and exudation.
Dermatological patients with kidney deficiency can usually eat more black sesame seeds, black beans, black wolfberry, etc. for conditioning.
