(1) tonify kidney and strengthen bone. According to the theory of "kidney governing bone" in traditional Chinese medicine, kidney deficiency is the key to osteoporosis, so the treatment should be to tonify kidney and strengthen bone. Sufficient kidney essence makes the bones and muscles hard and strong.
Yang et al. selected 1 1 patients with degenerative osteoporosis and divided them into kidney-yin deficiency type and kidney-yang deficiency type according to their clinical manifestations. Zuogui Pill and Gui You Pill were used for 2 months respectively. Results: The symptoms of low back pain were obviously relieved or disappeared in 9 cases, and the bone mineral density was obviously increased in 6 cases by X-ray examination.
Wang et al. used Bushen Yigu ointment (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Herba Epimedii, Placenta Hominis, Alismatis Rhizoma, Os Draconis, etc.). ) to treat osteoporosis in menopausal women. After taking the medicine for 3 months, the bone mineral content of the patient's radius and ulna increased compared with that before treatment. 58 cases were treated with Radix Dipsaci, Herba Taxilli, Fructus Corni, Rhizoma Drynariae, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, etc. The symptoms of kidney deficiency were obviously improved, and the average bone mineral density increased slightly, in which the mineral content of ulna and radius increased significantly compared with that before treatment, while the control group decreased gradually.
From the above clinical cases, it can be seen that treating osteoporosis from kidney can not only obviously improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency, but also improve the detection of bone mineral content, bone density and other indicators, which proves that kidney-tonifying Chinese medicine has a good effect on treating osteoporosis.
(2) invigorating qi and spleen, promoting blood circulation and regulating liver. Spleen deficiency leads to kidney essence deficiency, bone dystrophy, bone weakness and osteoporosis. Therefore, the treatment should focus on invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, strengthening spleen and regulating liver.
The treatment of osteoporosis with Jiawei Guipi decoction in Jinjingcheng, Japan showed that the bone salt content increased obviously, and anemia and menopause index could be improved. Zhang et al. found that Salvia Miltiorrhiza could increase the formation of collagen fibers and enrich the deposition of calcium salts during fracture, which proved that Salvia Miltiorrhiza could regulate calcium from adjacent fractured bone tissues to meet the needs of new bone formation, and indicated that Salvia Miltiorrhiza could directly regulate calcium metabolism.
