It is often aggravated by eating spicy food or alcohol and tobacco. Scratching can alleviate it, but it can seriously affect the work and life of patients. Recently, I have seen several patients with eczema, and their skin is scratched, and they can't sleep well at night and have no spirit during the day. The whole person is extremely uncomfortable.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all six evils can cause itching, especially wind evil. Wind is the root of all diseases, and it changes with good deeds. There is an old saying: "It itches when the wind is strong, but it doesn't itch when there is no wind." Wind evil invades the skin, showing itching all over the body, one after another Neijing once said: "All pains and sores belong to the heart." It can be seen that itching is also closely related to "heart".
The treatment of skin itching by traditional Chinese medicine has long been recorded in ancient books. Treatise on Febrile Diseases once said, "Those who have a hot complexion do not think about self-explanation, can't sweat a little, and their bodies will itch. It is appropriate to use Guizhi Mahuang Half Decoction." It can be seen that Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, thinks that itching mostly belongs to exogenous pathogens, and the pathogens stay under the skin, and sweating is not smooth. It is necessary to sweat slightly to eliminate exogenous pathogens, so that the pathogens disperse with sweating, such as cough, runny nose and sweating, which are all important turbidity-expelling reactions of the body.
Modern people often live in rooms with low air conditioning temperature and little exercise. In addition, the climate is hot and humid, and they like to eat fat, sweet and greasy, which often leads to high skin problems.
Today, I will introduce a simple method to you, that is, plum blossom needle. Generally speaking, plum blossom needle is used to treat alopecia areata and alopecia. Recently, it has been found that the skin treatment effect is good, and it is less irritating, and it can play the role of dredging meridians and relieving itching.
Patients with severe itching can operate at home by themselves. After bathing, the local skin is strictly disinfected, and then gently patted with the wrist, which does not require great strength and usually does not bleed. After knocking, disinfect it gently to avoid cold and try not to scrub it.
I had a patient who cured his eczema with plum blossom needle before, but recently some of them relapsed and came back for treatment. Therefore, patients with itchy skin must pay attention to taboos, otherwise it is easy to relapse, such as fruits (especially mangoes), seafood, bamboo shoots, scaleless fish, geese, chicken wings and so on. In addition, the external washing of traditional Chinese medicines such as Fructus Cnidii, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis and Bombyx Batryticatus also has a good effect of expelling wind, removing dampness and relieving itching. Patients with skin problems should try not to use irritating shower gel and hot water when taking a bath, keep active exercise and have a light diet.
