Some time ago, I gave a health lecture to a school teacher, and the problem they reacted to the most was "chronic pharyngitis". Although chronic pharyngitis is not a big problem, it has become a nightmare for many teachers that their throat is dry and itchy, their voice is hoarse, and they are not cured.
In these years,
Who hasn't had an occupational disease!
In fact, clinical data show that 60%~70% of Chinese suffer from varying degrees of pharyngitis, of which the incidence of chronic pharyngitis has reached 30%~50%, and there is still an upward trend. In this way, chronic pharyngitis is really not the exclusive disease of teachers.
Today I will talk to you about the problem of chronic pharyngitis.
Chronic pharyngitis, commonly known as "yin deficiency throat paralysis" or "deficiency fire throat paralysis" in traditional Chinese medicine, is one of the most common throat diseases nowadays. Symptoms may seem mild, but they linger. The duration of the disease can range from months to years or decades.
Notice one word, and that is "virtual". As we all know, many diseases will appear void when the word "chronic" is put on the table. What is emptiness? It refers to the overconsumption of something. For example, it is a typical example for teachers to consume gas when they give lectures. Chronic pharyngitis is also the existence of "false fire".
Chronic pharyngitis can cause sore throat and itching, many people mistakenly think that it is hot and hot, so they go to buy herbal tea to drink, or use Houttuynia cordata to clear heat and detoxify, but in fact, most patients with chronic pharyngitis have a cold physique, and the fire in the throat is a false fire, and it is not suitable to use herbal tea to extinguish the fire.
Chronic pharyngitis of the spleen deficiency type
In the treatment of chronic pharyngitis, most of the Chinese medicine practitioners believe that yin deficiency and fire are prosperous, and methods such as nourishing yin and reducing fire, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, and nourishing the kidneys are commonly used. The late "Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine", Professor Gan Zuwang, a famous physician in the field of traditional Chinese medicine who enjoyed special government allowances, once pointed out, "Those who truly belong to yin deficiency are two out of ten; And those who have a weak spleen are eight or nine out of ten." His "treatment of laryngeal paralysis from the spleen" has a cure rate of 89% and an effective rate of 98%.
The root cause of most patients with chronic pharyngitis is spleen deficiency. "Su Wen: Yin and Yang Theory" also says: "The throat and throat are dry, and the disease is in the soil and spleen."
Although there are many causes of chronic pharyngitis, such as environmental pollution, antibiotic abuse, improper treatment in the acute phase, and irrational voice habits, the most critical is related to eating disorders.
Excessive eating, high heat and thick taste, fast-paced lifestyle, and improper work and rest will damage the vitality of the spleen and stomach, and the spleen will be mainly transported, the main promotion and clearing, and the subtlety of digestion and transportation of water valleys.
If the spleen is deficient, the ability to digest, absorb and transport will be weakened, and the amount of fluid generated will be reduced. Of course, symptoms such as dry mouth, dry and sore throat, and foreign body sensation may occur.
Chronic pharyngitis of spleen deficiency type is in addition to the common symptoms of dry throat, sore throat, burning, itchy throat, and foreign body sensation.There may also be chest tightness (a feeling of tightness in the chest); dizziness and fatigue; loose stools; traction pain on both sides of the neck (severe may be mistaken for stiff neck); Prone to nausea and vomiting (gargling and brushing your teeth in the morning, prone to nausea and vomiting).
Not all of these symptoms will occur, and only 1-2 may occur.
For chronic pharyngitis with spleen deficiency, the treatment is naturally to tonify the spleen, invigorate qi and promote yang. The representative formula is Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Shenling Baizhu San. Both of these prescriptions now have proprietary Chinese medicines, and everyone should choose them according to the evidence.
Shenling Atractylodes Powder Formula: lotus seed meat, coix seed, sand seed, bellflower, white lentils, white poria cocos, ginseng, licorice, atractylodes, yam.
Each time you take it, it is best to take it with jujube soup.
The effect is to invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, infiltrate dampness and stop diarrhea. Because its composition is made of four gentlemen's soup with yam, lotus seed meat, white lentils, coix seeds, sand seeds, and bellflower. Therefore, it also replenishes lung qi.
In the acute phase of pharyngitis attack, Shaoshang acupoint can be punctured to relieve discomfort.
Prick bleeding can clear lung heat and relieve sore throat. If it doesn't prick the blood, you can pinch it hard for 3-5min.
In addition, we can also treat chronic pharyngitis by kneading the missing points and Zhaohai points, and the effect is not generally good.
Column is missing, and the pulse is passed; Shine on the sea, and the foot is less yin and leads to yin and stilt veins. The system is between the lungs, throat, and thoracic diaphragm, and has a therapeutic effect on the lesions of the lungs, throat, and thoracic diaphragm.
Zhaohai acupoint is a representative acupuncture point in the eight veins. It belongs to the foot less yin and kidney meridians, and is one of the eight veins of the acupoints, which has the function of nourishing the kidney and clearing heat, and regulating the three cokes. It can relieve symptoms such as chest tightness, dry throat, hoarseness, chronic pharyngitis, etc., and has an auxiliary effect on frozen shoulder and insomnia.
When massaging this acupuncture point, you should close your mouth and not speak, and feel that there is liquid in your mouth, and you must swallow it into your stomach. Generally speaking, after 3 to 5 minutes of rubbing, you will feel the presence of fluid in the throat, and the pain will be relieved immediately.
