Medical record: Chen Bo, 76 years old, with cough and asthma for more than half a year Chen Bo, 76, was a fisherman when he was young. His long-term life on the sea made him form the bad habit of smoking. He smoked for 50 years until he was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (moderate to severe) due to repeated cough in the past two years. He gave up smoking under the supervision of his family. Chen Bo followed the doctor's advice every day, and his cough was reduced. However, when he was windy, his throat would itch and he coughed nonstop. He mainly had a dry cough without any phlegm. There was also asthma. When I went downstairs for a walk, I couldn't stop panting. I felt out of breath. In winter, I am also very afraid of the cold. I usually have a bad appetite and frequent urination at night. Since the beginning of the summer this year, the weather has been hot and the air conditioning wind is blowing every day. Cough and asthma have worsened. After reexamination in the local hospital, it was found that the lung function has further declined. The family heard that Uncle De was very experienced in the treatment of COPD, so they went to the clinic together. Uncle De solves the mystery that man-made wind chill is easy to attack the lung De Shu said that when he was young, Chen Bo relied on his sufficient Qi and blood to resist evil in the body. As he grew older, his Qi and blood continued to wear out, and evil Qi had the opportunity to invade the body; In addition, long-term smoking will damage the lung collaterals, and the loss of healthy qi will make it easier for evil Qi to lurk in the lungs. The two attack each other, and the "debts" that the body owes when it is young will appear one by one. Once the weather becomes cold or meets with "artificial wind cold", foreign evil Qi is easy to attack the "delicate" lungs first, affecting the promotion and elimination of lung qi, resulting in continuous coughing and wheezing; In old age, the Yang Qi of spleen and kidney gradually declines. Deficiency of Spleen Yang leads to poor transport and receiving function of spleen and stomach, and deficiency of Kidney Yang leads to insufficient warming and water solution. Therefore, there are discomfort such as frequent urination at night and poor appetite of stomach. In terms of treatment, de Shu gave priority to warming the lung and dispersing cold, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. After several subsequent treatments to regulate the spleen and strengthen the kidney, after nearly one month of treatment, Chen Bo's cough and asthma were significantly relieved, and now he is receiving intermittent outpatient treatment. Prevention and health care acupoint application, winter diseases treated in summer In summer, the air conditioner is often turned on, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large. In addition, the pores are often turned on in summer. If you don't pay attention to the "artificial wind chill", it will attack the lungs, and then cause repeated attacks of cough and asthma in COPD patients. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "diseases in winter are cured in summer". For example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is easy to develop or worsen in winter, can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine in summer to help healthy qi and prevent recurrence in winter. De Shu suggested that the acupoint application with self-made traditional Chinese medicine powder can improve the symptoms to a certain extent. Choose 5-10 grams of white mustard seed, 5-10 grams of Corydalis, 10 grams of perilla seed, 10 grams of Lepidium seed, and 3 grams of Asarum. Powder the above medicinal materials, add an appropriate amount of honey, and make them into a paste. After heating, put a small amount of the paste on the gauze and apply it to Feishu point, Tiantu point and Tanzhong point. The local skin is slightly hot. Apply it for about 30 minutes every time, once every 3 weeks. Use with caution or shorten the application time for those with skin allergy.
