July 16th is the first day of this summer's ambush. At many Chinese medicine hospitals in Beijing, many citizens came over early in the morning to open the "three volt stickers" and apply them.
The dog day is the hottest season of the year, and it is also a good time for the treatment of winter diseases and summer diseases in traditional Chinese traditional medicine therapy-for some diseases that are prone to or exacerbated in winter, targeted treatment is given in summer to improve the body's disease resistance Ability to reduce or disappear diseases that are likely to occur or worsen in winter. Among them, applying acupuncture points on San Fu Tian is the most common treatment method for winter disease and summer. It has become the choice of many citizens because of its wide adaptability to the population, relatively simple operation, and certain effects.
Make an appointment in advance and queue up
"I have a bad cough when I have a cold. I posted it many years ago, and it worked. I made a mistake again this year, so I wanted to post it again." Grandma Chen, who lined up and applied in the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital, Capital Medical University, told reporters.
Grandma Chen is 77 years old. She used to have a "three-poster" in the hospital near her home. "It seems that some hospitals did not engage in this activity this year. I saw this hospital online." So she made an appointment in advance online and took a seat. Many hours of cars came.
Due to the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, there have been fewer hospitals offering "three-volt stickers" this year. In order to avoid crowds, most hospitals use advance appointments to guide patients to seek medical treatment in time. In Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, there are three departments of Respiratory Medicine, Pediatrics, and Otolaryngology. The patients are required to present screenshots of appointment vouchers and health codes when they are admitted to the hospital, and cooperate with staff in temperature measurement and epidemiological investigations.
The number of patients who come to apply the patch is usually the largest on the first day of the dog's life. The reporter saw that the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine arranged the first day's treatment location in the multifunctional hall of the hospital, and "one-stop" services such as number picking, opening, payment, and application were all performed in the lobby.
Meng Guangsong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital, told reporters that in order to reduce the work pressure on the first day of the three-volt period, the Respiratory Department will open a multi-function hall every year as a consultation room. This year, the hospital carried out the "three-volt stickers" work on the basis of epidemic prevention and control. Strengthen the control of personnel density. "The'one-stop' service can try to reduce the patient's movement and prevent people from gathering," he said.
The reporter learned that as of 3 pm on July 16, nearly 600 people had applied in the respiratory department of the hospital, which was a decrease from the number on the first day of the previous year.
Treating winter diseases and adapting to natural laws
"It's not necessary to come on the first day of ambush, but everyone has this habit to hurry up, so the day is also good." Meng Guangsong said, in fact, patients only need to remember to post a few days during each volt period, now The epidemic prevention and control is normalized. In order to prevent crowding, it is recommended that patients be dispersed for medical treatment.
Under the guidance of traditional theories of traditional Chinese medicine, Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has developed a topical "three patches" for the prevention and treatment of chronic cough and asthma. After many patients come to the hospital for the first time, they can continue to apply at home.
According to Cao Yunsong, the attending physician at the Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, the concept of "winter disease" is relatively broad. He told reporters that the so-called "winter disease" does not only refer to diseases that occur in winter, but refers to the human body feeling the external wind, cold and wetness, or excessive wind, greed, cold drinking, resulting in cold drinks in the body The accumulation of phlegm and dampness will damage the body's yang qi, resulting in various types of diseases, such as cold-deficiency asthma, chronic diarrhea, cold-damp osteoarthropathy, dysmenorrhea, etc. In the winter, the weather is cold and the cold is more abundant, these diseases are often induced or aggravated.
So why can "winter disease" be cured in summer? The Chinese medicine classic "Su Wen · Four Qi Tiao Shen Theory" records: "Spring and summer nourishing yang, autumn and winter nourishing yin." Cao Yunsong said, the meaning contained in this is that the spring and summer season should conform to nature, fill the yang and nourish the sun, dispel cold wet. Winter disease treatment in summer is actually to take advantage of the favorable timing of the natural yang in summer and the body's abundant yang to achieve the effect of "driving cold with heat" and "warming yang to make up deficiency".
Meng Guangsong also told reporters that the summer days are the highest temperature in nature, which is the best period for TCM conditioning for the human body, especially those with yang deficiency or cold lurking in the body.
"We use some traditional Chinese medicine treatments to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians to further enhance the body's uprightness this season and expel the latent cold evil from the body. Then in autumn and winter, the body's ability to resist disease is enhanced. "Meng Guangsong said.
Clinically effective, but not for everyone
Mr. Liu, a Beijing citizen, came to the hospital this time to prescribe a "three-poster" for older relatives. He also applied it by the way. "A few years ago, my mother would have done it after it was posted. Other relatives would also like to hear it. Try it."
Meng Guangsong told reporters that the treatment of winter disease and summer is a theory. Under this theory, in addition to external application methods, Chinese medicine also has a variety of treatment methods such as decoction, acupuncture and moxibustion. "'San Fu Tie' is widely known for its wide applicability, relatively simple operation, and certain clinical effects. It is also the most recommended method for the treatment of winter diseases and summer diseases," he said.
The applied patients are of all ages, mostly middle-aged and elderly. Today, this method is also gradually welcomed by young people. At the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the reporter saw many young people lining up to apply. A woman in her early 30s told reporters that this is her first time to open a "three-poster", "I have a friend who has a special health regimen and she recommends me to come."
"Continuous application for three years is more effective, but it should be noted that application is only an adjunct treatment." Meng Guangsong said that if patients suffer from asthma and other diseases, they still insist on routine treatment. He also reminded: "The treatment of winter disease and summer disease is not suitable for everyone, and it needs a clinician to make an assessment."
He suggested that the elderly with underlying diseases, such as severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or liver and kidney diseases, should first control the underlying diseases before considering the application; and some special populations, including pregnant women, infants, skin It is not recommended for those with allergies, scars, or bronchiectasis. In addition, people who are usually hot and humid, yin deficiency, and hot are not suitable for application. After misuse, they are prone to various symptoms of fire.
Cao Yunsong believes that the current Chinese medicine law is being accepted by more people. In fact, Chinese medicine thinking has been integrated into people's lives. "For example, if your throat hurts, you will know that you are on fire. At this time, you may think of eating a pear and drinking chrysanthemum tea to get off the fire. This is actually the thinking of Chinese medicine." He said.
Many young people nowadays adopt the "punk regimen" method, "the wolfberry in beer and the codonopsis in cola". Cao Yunsong thinks this is undesirable. For summer health, he suggested that people should still maintain a regular diet and rest, do not be greedy and excessively air-conditioned, "come naturally, sweat well".
