Traditional Chinese medicine treats various edema, such as swollen legs, swollen hands and systemic swelling, and compensates for insufficient yin

Traditional Chinese medicine has unparalleled advantages in the treatment of various edema symptoms, such as leg swelling, hand swelling and systemic swelling, and can effectively compensate for the lack of Yin fluid in the human body.

First of all, TCM combines observation, listening, questioning and cutting four diagnoses to deeply understand the patient’s physique, illness and cause, and then develops personalized treatment plans. In view of the symptoms of edema, Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment of syndrome differentiation, and thinks that edema is caused by many factors, such as internal stagnation of water dampness, deficiency of spleen and kidney Yang, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore, in the treatment, Chinese medicine will be based on different etiology and pathogenesis, using the corresponding Chinese medicine prescriptions for conditioning.

For example, for water-dampness internal stop type edema, Chinese medicine will choose to have the effect of water infiltration, spleen swelling, such as poria, coix seed, diarrhea, etc., in order to promote water metabolism, eliminate excess water in the body. For spleen-kidney Yang deficiency type edema, Chinese medicine will use warm tonifying spleen kidney, qi and water, such as Zhenwu decoction, Shi spleen drink, etc., in order to enhance spleen kidney function, promote the normal distribution and excretion of water.

In addition, Chinese medicine also focuses on acupuncture, massage, cupping and other external treatment to assist the treatment of edema symptoms. Acupuncture and moxibustion can stimulate meridian points, regulate the movement of qi and blood, and promote water and liquid metabolism; Massage can dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain; Cupping can eliminate moisture and cold in the body and improve local blood circulation.

More importantly, while treating edema, Chinese medicine can also effectively make up for the lack of Yin fluid in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Yin fluid is an important material basis for human life activities, and has the function of nourishing and nourishing the viscera and organs of the whole body. When the human body Yin fluid is insufficient, there will be a series of dry, vacuous heat and other symptoms. In the process of treating edema, Chinese medicine will pay attention to the principle of nourishing Yin and promoting fluid, and choose Chinese medicine with the effect of nourishing Yin and moistening dryness to supplement and nourish human Yin fluid.

To sum up, traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages and curative effects in treating various edema symptoms. Through the application of syndrome differentiation, personalized treatment and comprehensive treatment, Chinese medicine can not only effectively eliminate edema symptoms, but also improve the overall health of the human body and improve the quality of life of patients.
