Second, the small coup for the prevention and treatment of hypertension (used on the basis of western medicine prevention and treatment)
Professor Wang Chao said that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are generally divided into three categories.
First, vascular occlusion, such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, has a high mortality and disability rate;
Second, insufficient blood supply, such as coronary heart disease and angina pectoris;
The third is blood vessel rupture, such as cerebral hemorrhage and aneurysm rupture. It is closely related to the three highs, namely hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
To prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, we must first prevent the three highs, especially hypertension. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the essence of hypertension is deficiency in essence and excess in substance, and there are mainly three syndrome types: yin deficiency and hyperactivity in yang, yin and yang deficiency, and phlegm-dampness blocking in the middle. Its prevention and treatment are as follows (based on the prevention and treatment of western medicine).
Third, the prevention and treatment of shoulder, neck, low back pain tips
Professor Wang Chao said that the cold winter and vasoconstriction lead to the stagnation of local qi and blood, which is the main reason for the pain. If you want to have less pain, no pain, and say goodbye to pain, Professor Ma Chao also gave some suggestions to netizens for these pains:
The first is to keep warm:Friends who have neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain and arthritis must add clothes in time or even in advance in winter, pay attention to cold and warmth, especially for the parts with pain symptoms, and take the initiative to prevent joints from catching cold by wearing scarves, vests, knee pads and gloves.
Followed by hot compress:"Warming meridians and dredging collaterals" and "heat until pain stops". The electric hot water bag with temperature control can be selected for hot compress, which is convenient to heat, controllable in temperature, economical and safe. Heavy and sore, choose Shangshi Zhitong ointment; Swelling and tingling, choose Musk Zhuanggu Ointment; Choose dog skin cream for cold pain and contracture. However, it is necessary to remind everyone that the time of hot compress varies from person to person, so as to avoid scalding, and more attention should be paid to the use when local redness and skin damage occur.
The third is the baking lamp:We often use TDP and infrared lamp. TDP refers to specific electromagnetic spectrum therapy. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic, reducing exudation.
