Every hemorrhoid has blood, tears, and a story. Every time I go to the bathroom, I may have to squat until my legs feel numb.
Every time I defecate, "Chrysanthemum" is not bleeding, but running blood! Like a volcanic eruption! The pain is unbearable.
As the saying goes, ten people have nine hemorrhoids, and ten women have ten hemorrhoids. The probability of women getting hemorrhoids is much higher than that of men because women have much more constipation than men.
Western medicine divides hemorrhoids into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids according to their different locations of onset; In terms of treatment, surgery is generally used.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, "hemorrhoids" are nothing more than the combination of wind, dampness, dryness, heat, and the four qi, which leads to unfavorable qi circulation in the large intestine, blocked meridians, and blood stasis.
Modern people have an unhealthy diet, overeating fatty and sweet foods, spicy foods, and damaging the spleen and stomach, leading to internal dampness and heat accumulation in the large intestine, stasis in the anus, and the development of hemorrhoids.
Divided into:; There are four major syndrome types: damp heat infusion, wind damage to intestinal meridians, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and spleen deficiency and qi depression. Among them, damp heat infusion is the most common and also the most severe type of bleeding.
The treatment should focus on dispelling wind and clearing heat, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, promoting qi and dampness, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, and reducing swelling and pain.
In the Ming Dynasty's "Surgical Qixuan", there was a prescription specifically designed to treat pain during the onset of hemorrhoids, called "Zhitong Rushen Tang". Especially for hemorrhoids caused by damp heat infusion, it can be said to relieve pain like a god.
The original recipe is as follows: 1 yuan each for Gentiana macrophylla, 1 yuan each for Peach Kernel (separately ground), and 1 yuan each for Sophora Sapinda (roasted and stored); 7 yuan each for Atractylodes macrocephala and Fangfeng; 5 yuan each for Baijiu Huangbai; 3 yuan each for Baijiu Danggui Wei and Zexie; 1 yuan each for Jianbetel nut (separately ground); and 1 yuan each for cooked rhubarb.
Next, let's learn about the compatibility of this recipe together:
Firstly, use Gentiana macrophylla and Windproof to dispel wind and dehumidify.
Gentiana macrophylla has good therapeutic effects on hemorrhoids, fistulas, and wet ulcers caused by wind and dampness, blood circulation, diuresis, and pain relief.
Windproof is a moisturizing agent for wind medicine, warm but not dry, it can dispel wind and dampness, dispel wind and relieve itching, disperse intestinal wind in the large intestine, and prevent the spread of evil energy and relieve pain.
The second use is Huangbai and Cangzhu, which can clear heat and promote dampness.
Huangbai is bitter and cold. Cold can clear heat, bitterness can dry dampness, and can lower the dampness and heat in the anus.
Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness, because dampness originates from the spleen. Atractylodes macrocephala is not as gentle as Atractylodes macrocephala. If one wants to dispel dampness, the power of Atractylodes macrocephala is stronger than that of Atractylodes macrocephala.
The next step is to use peach kernels and Angelica sinensis tail to break through blood, remove blood stasis, and moisten the intestines and relieve constipation.
Angelica sinensis is sweet, warm, and moist in nature, with the effects of nourishing, nourishing, and activating blood. It has always been regarded as a holy herb in the blood, especially with its strong ability to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis at the tail.
In addition, the tail of Angelica sinensis also has the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, which can remove stasis in the anus and excrete it through the anus.
Peach kernels break blood and promote blood stasis. The concept of "breaking blood" is different from the general concept of "promoting blood circulation", which only enhances the flow of blood to achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Hemorrhoids, on the other hand, are tough and require the use of peach kernel as a medicine to break open the lump and clear pus and blood; Like Angelica sinensis, it also has the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements.
In this way, everything that needs to be cleared and everything that needs to be eliminated is resolved by four herbs. The problems of wind, dampness, heat, and dryness, as well as the four qi, are resolved.
Finally, it is to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and detoxify with pus.
Zexie can promote diuresis and dampness, diuresis and reduce swelling. It can benefit the kidneys and bladder, clear the heat in the bladder, and release the deficiency fire in the kidneys, allowing the evil of dampness and heat to be eliminated from the urine.
Betel nut can promote qi circulation and stagnation, promote intestinal circulation and expel water. It can also produce the toxic effects of fat and sweetness, and is used in conjunction with Alisma orientalis to promote qi circulation, promote diuresis, and reduce swelling.
Saponin seeds, removing impurities and dirt, expelling pus and dragging toxins, rhubarb, clearing heat, purging fire, cooling blood and detoxifying, can expel dampness, stasis, and broken pus and blood from the intestines through feces, playing a role in promoting innovation, reducing swelling and pain.
This prescription can not only treat hemorrhoids, but also treat sequelae of herpes zoster, gout, intercostal neuralgia, genital herpes with lumbosacral neuropathy, and so on.
As for the Ming Dynasty's "Surgical Mystery" and "Pain Relieving Soup", many people may not be familiar with it. You can use this formula from modern times (280 effective formulas for anal and intestinal diseases).
Quanfangyu includes 10g of Gentiana macrophylla, 6g of Fangfeng, 10g of Taoren, 10g of Angelica sinensis tail, 10g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 10g of Huangbai, 10g of Zexie, 6g of Areca nut, 10g of cooked rhubarb, 10g of Diyu, 15g of Sophora japonica, and 6g of Jingjie ear. Boil twice in water and take before meals.
This recipe is based on the original recipe, removing soapberry seeds and adding Jingjie, Diyu, and Huaihua to enhance blood circulation, reduce swelling, cool blood, and stop bleeding.
Jingjie, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling, breaking knots and detoxifying, can eliminate all wind and evil, especially intestinal wind and rectal bleeding; Diyu has a sour and astringent taste, which can not only astringe and stop bleeding, but also detoxify and heal sores; Huaihua belongs to the liver and large intestine meridian, enters the bloodstream, can clear the heat in the blood and stop bleeding. The raw material has strong detoxification and sore dragging ability, while the carbon stir fry has strong hemostatic effect.
Although the prescription is good, we should adjust the dosage according to our own conditions to get rid of the disease.
