Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the patient continues to produce collagen fibers in crusted tissue under normal conditions. In addition to the skin, the kidneys, lungs and gastrointestinal tract may also be fibrotic. If you find numbness, pain or changes in skin color in the limbs, you should seek medical advice. Although scleroderma is not contagious, the cause of the disease is still unknown.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, scleroderma is the most simple is from the appearance of the skin can be seen in the thickening, hardening phenomenon, for example, the face scleroderma, even the smile will be stiff, usually the lesion at the beginning only look red, but then there will be color changes, and then the skin gradually become hard, tight shiny, and then hair reduction, if across the joints will often cause limb deformation and atrophy, while the skin under the the muscles and bones under the skin will also be affected. In terms of Chinese medicine, the first and foremost treatment is to improve the physical condition. If Chinese medicine is not performed, it may lead to side effects.
Scleroderma in Chinese medicine to a direction, starting from the body’s large intestine, liver, especially to the large intestine of the vital energy to supplement and dredge to the epidermis, if the scleroderma appears in people with a relatively cold body, once the body’s Qi condensation, there will be a gradual hardening of the skin scleroderma, while pathologically speaking and vascular sclerosis will also have some kind of relationship.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that, in addition to the stiffness of movement and expression, it is important to pay attention to the sweat glands and water excretion in the body, because the sclerosis of the skin will affect the ability of the epidermis to dissipate heat. In terms of treatment, the first thing to do is to increase the heat of the large intestine, which from the perspective of Chinese medicine is to increase stomach Qi, and to channel the nutrients from the liver to the surface, which is the so-called liver nourishment and benefit intestinal Qi, which will gradually relieve the symptoms of scleroderma.
Some scleroderma patients will have rough skin due to blocked pores, and in the end, they will not only have stiff expressions, coarse black skin, and even fragile skin, and will be injured if they are not careful about rubbing, and the speed of recovery will be very slow. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, generally with Chinese medicine treatment, milder patients can show significant improvement in one to three months, but if the disease is more serious patients, it will take six months to a year of careful care, such as patients who have been affected to clench their fists such movements, we have to pay a lot of effort to treatment.
