The body is always vulnerable to weather changes. Whether it’s nose and skin irritation, sore limbs, or rheumatic pain in the joints, veteran TCM doctor Sheng-Pu Lee shares how traditional Chinese medicine views the effects of “qi”.
“The “qi is the heat generated in your body, the burning of nutrients, the physical energy generated by exercise, this is the change of body qi. The famous Chinese doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said that adults engaged in sex will consume “kidney qi”, and the consumption of kidney qi will also let the internal qi slowly decline. And the kidney qi is not always consumed, must often be replenished to stabilize the balance of qi.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee mentioned that when the body is not enough Qi, lung function will also be weaker, the first to bear the brunt of the nasopharynx, the light sneezing, heavy nasal congestion, runny nose, breathing difficulties as a performance; tendons and bones of Qi by external cold, wind and cold invasion, will cause the tendons and bones decline, joint pressure, daily activities are more likely to have joint wear and tear. When the internal Qi is insufficient, the body is unable to distinguish the turbidity, and then accumulate a lot of metabolic waste that will cause pain. In order to slow down the decline of joints and muscles and bones, there must be physical restraint in consumption, and it is also important to replenish “qi”, which is often needed after the age of 60.
In middle and old age, the ability to circulate qi and blood is weakened, and the pain and soreness of the meridians, tendons and muscles, as well as the joints, will be aggravated once the “wind, cold, damp and heat” invade. In Chinese medicine, it is known as “paralysis”. In addition to taking painkillers and putting on medicine patches, there are also purely proprietary Chinese medicines that can help to nourish qi and blood, benefit the liver and kidneys, dispel rheumatism pain, and improve the flexibility of the muscles and bones.
Most people think that Chinese medicine is not as effective as Western medicine to quickly relieve symptoms, “Chinese medicine will not be slower than Western medicine. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that Chinese medicine can also have a quick effect on symptomatic treatment, but patients with kidney deficiency and more serious joint degeneration cannot be relieved immediately after using the medicine, because joint and body degeneration is not a one-day event, there is still a certain treatment process.
However, the focus of Chinese medicine treatment is on “adjustment”. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that there have been cases of patients with joint tissue abrasion who have experienced a temporary increase in pain after taking the medicine because the Chinese medicine is helping to open up muscle, tissue and nerve adhesions.
There are patients who share that after taking the medication, they feel as if the tendons are really moving, and the pain is severe at night, but they feel much more comfortable after sunrise. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that the Chinese medicine does not have pain relief in it, but it must help the compressed area, the adhesion to be relieved, so that the tissue will not continue to be damaged.
Chinese herbal treatment for paralysis focuses on regulating the body and improving the circulation of qi and blood. Douliho, Gentiana Macrophylla, Gentianae Macrophylla, and Ginseng to dispel cold and dampness, Du Zhong and Niu Knee nourish the lower back and knees musculoskeletal systems. Chuanxiong, Guixin and Angelica nourish the body’s Yang and blood. As a reminder to the public, the effect of the herbs varies for individual body types, so if you have any discomfort after taking them, you must seek medical help.
