  At that time, I treated a male patient in his 60s. He was a confirmed patient of the new crown who was transferred to our Qiboshan Hospital from another place.

When he came, the patient had obvious symptoms of sore throat, and then the patient experienced repeated coughing, throat clearing and other symptoms. When the patient came, he was also panic and anxious. He was worried that his symptoms of throat discomfort would aggravate his condition.

  [Explanation] After carefully reviewing the medical records, Zhang Li checked the patient and found that the pharynx was mild to moderate hyperemia, the tonsils were not enlarged, and the chest CT results were normal.

After dialectical, Zhang Li confirmed that the patient was a symptom of wind and heat in traditional Chinese medicine.

  [Explanation] A few days ago, the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Ninth Edition)" has added traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion diagnosis and treatment measures.

Based on the direct and effective experience of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating pharyngeal discomfort in the past, Zhang Li decided to perform acupuncture and moxibustion therapy after obtaining the consent of the patient.

  For some dry mouth, dry throat and sore throat with respiratory symptoms, (in traditional Chinese medicine) we will use (acupuncture) to poke some acupoints on the lung meridian of Shaoshang, Hegu, Lieque, and Chize (etc.).

I gave the patient an acupuncture treatment. After the first acupuncture treatment, the patient (he said) the symptoms of sore throat and dry throat were relieved by 70%. The patient's symptoms of sore throat and dry throat basically disappeared.

  [Explanation] Some netizens wondered how acupuncture and moxibustion were used to treat new coronary pneumonia. Has the virus been stabbed to death?

actually not.

According to Zhang Li, traditional Chinese medicine often says that "righteousness is stored in internal evil and cannot be done", and viruses are what are called external evils in traditional Chinese medicine. To remove the virus from the body to achieve the effect of recovery, traditional Chinese medicine will basically choose to strengthen the righteousness or eliminate the evil spirits, or to help the righteousness. , to the evil combination of methods for treatment.

In their work, they continued to explore and summarize. On the basis of one person, one side (treatment plan), traditional Chinese medicine decoction treatment, and at the same time with sound therapy, sachets, Baduanjin and other treatment methods, the curative effect was strengthened, and the hospitalization time of diagnosed patients was greatly shortened.
