Health guidance for patients with lung yin deficiency

The symptom of chronic pharyngitis is that the pharynx often feels uncomfortable, always feels dry and itchy, and even has some slight pain. There are secretions in the pharynx and even expectoration. Self-care can be divided into shortage and surplus.

Deficiency syndrome of chronic pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis has a long course, is easy to relapse and is difficult to be completely cured. Clinical syndrome differentiation mostly belongs to the category of deficiency syndrome, with lung yin deficiency or lung kidney yin deficiency being the most common.

Yin deficiency of lung

For example, teachers, presenters, announcers and other occupations need to talk continuously for a long time, resulting in lung yin damage. People with insufficient lung yin can soak lily, tremella, Ophiopogon japonicus and roasted loquat leaves in water, boil water every day, nourish yin and moisten throat.

Yin deficiency of lung and kidney

The lung yin deficiency syndrome of chronic pharyngitis often persists, and it develops into lung and kidney yin deficiency after a long time. The feeling of itchy throat is from the throat to the nasopharynx, that is, the part where the upper gum leads to the nasal cavity. Many people are not only dry and itchy in the nasopharynx, but also dry all over. Even, there will be dry skin or dry eyes or restless sleep. This situation shows that it is not only lung yin deficiency, but also lung and kidney yin deficiency.

Yin deficiency of lung and kidney

It is common in patients with other chronic diseases who have not been cured for a long time, or older patients, or people who have yin-damaging behaviors such as staying up late.

Chronic pharyngitis with lung and kidney yin deficiency syndrome is not enough to moisten the throat with drugs, but also to nourish yin, especially kidney yin. Only when lung, kidney and Yin San viscera are nourished together can the therapeutic effect be obvious. Recommend two acupoints for self-care.

The first one is Taixi point. Taixi's "Tai" is bigger than "Da". The word "Xi" means water flow, and the word "Taixi" indicates that this is an important water flow position. Taixi point is located at the midpoint between the high point of the medial malleolus and the trailing edge of Achilles tendon. Put your finger gently on Taixi point, or slightly lower near the back of your ankle, and you will feel the pulse of the artery behind your tibia, which is called the posterior tibial artery. Put your fingertips on the pulse point of the posterior tibial artery and gently press it to nourish yin. Be careful not to push too hard when pressing.

Second, nourishing lung yin can find Taiyuan point on the wrist. The word "Tai" means greatness and importance, and "Deep" means abyss. The word "Taiyuan" indicates that this is a place full of blood. Taiyuan is located in the pulse position of the radial artery above the wrist striation, that is, the pulse position of the cunkou. Taiyuan point is the key part of pulse diagnosis. When the doctor feels the pulse, the position of the index finger is Taiyuan. Taiyuan is the original point of lung meridian, also known as pulse meeting. Diagnosing Taiyin can not only explore the running state of the whole lung meridian, but also distinguish the five internal organs and six internal organs.

The combination of Taiyuan point and Taixi point can nourish both lung yin and kidney yin. Nourishing lung and kidney yin, corresponding to the treatment of chronic pharyngitis deficiency syndrome, has a significant effect on relieving the symptoms of dry throat and itching.

Many acupoints around the wrist, especially the acupoints of the Yin meridian, mostly correspond to the position of the throat, which has a significant effect on relieving sore throat. Such as Taiyuan, Legqog, Shenmen, Daling, etc., have certain treatment and health care effects on throat diseases. Most of the acupoints around the ankle also have therapeutic effects on the throat, and stimulating them can play a role in clearing the throat and relieving sore throat. Taixi point is one of the representative points.

Demonstration of chronic pharyngitis

In the diagnosis of chronic pharyngitis, some patients will have such symptoms: stuck in the throat, long-term treatment can not heal. I always find it hard to swallow. There seems to be something stuck in my throat. I can't get up or down, and I can't swallow it. Very uncomfortable. I went to the otolaryngology department and found no problems. What is the reason?

From the perspective of western medicine, the essential reason of this situation is the reflux of gastrointestinal contents, which stimulates the esophageal mucosa. When the esophageal mucosa is excited, the nerve plexus controlling the esophageal mucosa is also excited, and this nerve plexus also controls the bronchial mucosa. So the bronchus began to secrete fluid, which caused throat discomfort.

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to the type of chronic pharyngitis, which can be analyzed from the symptoms of plum gas. The treatment of this kind of throat discomfort should not start from the throat, but should treat the stomach or the liver and gallbladder, slow down the excessive peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, and inhibit the excessive stomach qi.

For this kind of demonstration, we can follow the principle of "treating the symptoms in fact" and relieve the symptoms of throat discomfort first. You can choose Chize point of lung meridian to do slapping operation. Chize point can expel lung heat, which has a good effect on lung excess heat syndrome.

Chize point is the confluence of Taiyin hand and lung meridians. Located in the transverse stripes of elbow and the radial depression of the tendon of biceps brachii. "ruler" means that the length from the horizontal stripes of the elbow to the wrist is one foot, and "ze" means cold and cool, which means that it can cure heat.

Put your four fingers together in the elbow socket and pat them up and down until they crack slightly. Generally, after 50 to 100 slaps, the local color will turn blue-purple, and even congestion or pimples will appear. Don't worry about this situation, rest for two or three days, and then repeat the operation after the bruises are automatically eliminated. Tapping Akazawa can be done alternately with the left and right arms, stimulating one side today and the other side tomorrow.

After repeated stimulation for a period of time, it is slowly found that the congestion of Chize point will not be as heavy as it was at the beginning, indicating that the positive performance of this point is not obvious at this time, and the pharyngeal symptoms will be greatly alleviated.

Chize point can only treat the symptoms, and it can obviously relieve the symptoms in a short time. If the same situation occurs again after a period of time, it is necessary to explore the specific reasons that lead to the upward reflux of stomach contents. Some people may be positive for Helicobacter pylori, some people may have long bile secretion time, and some people may have liver-qi disorder caused by emotional frustration. According to different causes, the treatment methods should be different.
