Today, I will introduce a medicine - Huangqi, which is very effective in treating shoulder periarthritis and lumbar disc herniation!
Here is a real case of a patient:
Hello doctor, I am a high school Chinese language teacher. I have been a teacher since the age of 28 and have been standing on my favorite podium for a lifetime. I feel that educating people is very meaningful and life is also fulfilling.
But standing for a long time, sitting for a long time, preparing lessons and doing homework, etc., often causes pain in the neck, waist, and legs, especially in the lumbar spine. Occasionally, it is difficult to sleep and turn over. This has been going on for over a year and I haven't taken it seriously because sometimes the pain is severe, and sometimes there is a slight pain, and I feel like I can just endure it and it's over.
However, as time goes by, the frequency of pain becomes more frequent and the degree of pain becomes more severe, repeatedly causing me great pain. Doctor, how should I treat it properly? Is there any particularly effective method?
It is obvious that the patient above has suffered from lumbar disc herniation due to years of professional standing!
How does lumbar disc herniation come about?
Most cases of lumbar disc herniation are caused by the aging of the intervertebral disc. The aging process of the intervertebral disc mainly involves dehydration of the intervertebral disc, rupture of the fibrous ring, and even protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, leading to nerve compression. Therefore, the aging of the intervertebral disc is the main cause of intervertebral disc herniation.
Prolonged sitting and standing, heavy physical activity, and trauma can accelerate the aging of intervertebral discs, leading to lumbar disc herniation.
What are the hazards of lumbar disc herniation?
Lumbar disc herniation repeatedly causes lower back pain, limited mobility when getting out of bed, and in severe cases, limited turning, which seriously endangers the patient's quality of life. It can cause muscle atrophy, leading to weakness in the lower limbs, feet, and inability to stand.
If the cauda equina nerve is compressed, it can also cause urinary and fecal incontinence, perineal numbness, sexual dysfunction, etc. When the pain is severe, it can induce respiratory and circulatory disorders, myocardial infarction, etc. Causing paralysis is relatively rare.
External washing with Huangqi can treat lumbar disc herniation, with a one-time effect!
1. Dosage: 250g of Astragalus membranaceus, increased dosage may cause irritation. If the patient can bear it, the dosage can also be gradually increased.
2. Method: Use an aluminum pot and a gas stove to make a soup of Huangqi that is sufficient for bathing (this medicine is easy to boil, be careful when frying).
After washing, if possible, pour the medicine into a bucket and put it in the refrigerator for the next use. Generally, it can be reused 3-10 times.
3. Usage: Take a bath while it is hot, for a total time of about one hour. Use some insulation measures to maintain the indoor temperature, and take turns heating a portion of the washing solution. Overall, comfort is preferred.
It is necessary to immerse the affected area in medication, lower back pain in the waist, and leg pain in the legs.
If there is shoulder periarthritis or cervical spondylosis, it should also be washed with water, which is only effective on the washed area.
4. Therapeutic effect: After the first use, it can relax tense muscles, increase the body temperature of the affected area, and relieve pain.
After using Astragalus membranaceus for external washing for 5 days, if there are symptoms that cannot be treated (such as lumbar dislocation), seek a doctor's review or correction.
After using Astragalus membranaceus for external washing for 15 days, the disease can be considered eradicated, and patients can also wash for a few more days according to their actual situation.
Patients are not required to stop working throughout the entire process, and they can lift heavy objects in moderation; No dietary restrictions have been found at the moment, but better nutrition for the patient may be beneficial. Due to the holographic correlation of patients, stomach diseases, gynecological diseases, etc. that require differentiation of viscera can be cured together.
Astragalus membranaceus has the effect of tonifying qi and promoting diuresis, while hot baths can promote blood circulation. This formula treats diseases by improving local blood circulation, confirming the traditional Chinese medicine view that "general principles do not cause pain".
Please use the Chinese herbal formula under the guidance of a local professional physician.
