Some patients with kidney disease will have foot bath items when they receive Chinese medicine. What role does foot bath play in the end? How does it stand in the treatment of kidney disease?
Foot bath has a long history in our country. As the old saying goes, "Beginning in the morning with a purse of water, and before going to bed, it is not surprising that you are 100 years old." Even if you don't understand pathology, you know that you sleep well with hot water at night before going to bed.
Su Dongpo, a famous celebrity in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote in his article: “The foot bath is not effective at the beginning of the exercise. However, for more than a hundred days, the utility function is incomparable. It is more effective than the medication.” Kidney experts said: “Yin Cold is all from the feet, and into the foot of the heart.
So why does foot bath work?
Because the feet of the body distribute most of the main meridians and important acupuncture points of the human body, the thermal conductivity of warm water makes it easy for the medicine to travel along the meridians and reach the entire body.
This may seem more illusion. In fact, we have experience in our daily lives: When the nose is not clear, put a cup of hot water under the nose, the steam is smoky, and the nose is quickly cleared. The truth is the same.
We know that Chinese medicine is not a "kidney disease," one that is dialectical treatment, so patients with kidney disease show different syndromes before they can use different traditional Chinese medicine foot bath prescriptions.
For example, patients with "qi and yin deficiency" often show tetany, fever, thirst, fatigue, red tongue, and rapid pulse. They can use herbs such as honeysuckle, eugonania, euphorbia, and so on.
Among them, Streptococcus olivaceus and Cinnamomum variabilis are cold and active, and Shujin active can improve the immunity of patients with kidney disease; Zeeran Huoxuetongjing, benefit water swelling, can enhance blood circulation and eliminate edema.
For example, patients with "Kidney and kidney yin deficiency" often show weakness in the waist and knees, five upset fevers, dizziness and tinnitus, irritability in insomnia, little red tongue coating, and a few pulsed strings. They can use drugs such as vine, red peony, and rehmannia at night. .
Among them, the night Jiaotan Yangxin Anshen, Hurricane Tongluo, can relieve this heart failure, improve the quality of sleep in patients with kidney disease; Chishao heat and cooling blood, Sanyu analgesia, rehmannia tonic Yin, filling lean marrow marrow effect, Has a good blood-supplementing effect, can relieve complications such as anemia, heart failure, but also improve the immune system of patients with kidney disease.
In the treatment of kidney disease, Western medicine's main role is to suppress or kill the clinical symptoms of inflammation, urine protein, occult blood, and creatinine; the main role of Chinese medicine is to improve blood circulation, enhance the patient's constitution, and protect the remaining nephron.
The two are highly complementary and there are no absolute advantages or disadvantages.
In the treatment of kidney disease, Chinese medicine is not capable of reversing arrogance, nor can it immediately eliminate various symptoms and restore various indicators. However, Chinese medicine can slowly regulate the functions of the body itself and enhance the body's ability to repair itself.
Therefore, Chinese medicine does not directly treat kidney disease. It is only through conditioning and supplementation that the treatment of kidney disease has become relatively easy and the patient feels better.
