"Back pain" is one of the most common problems of modern people. According to statistics, more than 80% of people have experienced back pain, and most of the reasons are due to improper posture in daily life, aging bone spurs, or external injuries. As long as you pay more attention in life, you can also keep your head up and your back straight!
Gong Yanlun, a physician in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that the organs and muscles of the human body, because they have been used for a long time, are prone to leave records of injuries. The physiological repair function degenerates, and gradually, between the ages of 40 and 50, back pain will gradually appear.
However, when the old man seeks a doctor, he often only tells the doctor that he has backache and back pain, which often troubles the doctor. For example, falling, being hit by a hard object, or being hit by a collision will make the back pain worse!
From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, Gong Yanlun explained that the back pain of the elderly can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the pain caused by the "external"; the other is the pain caused by the "internal":
●This type of pain travels around like the wind, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it hurts, it's unpredictable. In the TCM point of view, "wind" also generally refers to the factors of the external environment. For example, if someone gets a headache when they are blown by the wind, they are affected by the external environment.
●The most obvious sign is cold hands and feet. Generally speaking, vasoconstriction is not easy,Poor blood circulation, and traditional Chinese medicine says that "no communication" will cause pain. This is the reason.
●Dampness in Chinese medicine means that the water in the body is stagnant and does not flow. In addition, if you are in an environment with too high humidity, or if you do not dry your hair immediately after washing, it will cause moisture to stagnate in one part of the body for too long, causing pain. The most obvious example is that when it rains, the knees or the bones of the whole body will be sore. It is often said that the body is like a weather station. Once the humidity increases, it will tell you with pain immediately!
●Older people often have insufficient kidney qi, so their constitution is relatively cold, they are afraid of cold, and people are easily tired. Speaking of which, it is similar to Western medicine's lack of resistance and immunity.
The elderly are also prone to lack of kidney water. Kidney water is the water and nutrients in the body. When the kidney water is insufficient, it cannot moisten the joints and muscles, and it will also cause soreness. Just like the malnourished people, it will be easier Being sick is the same thing.
Western medicine mostly uses painkillers, muscle relaxants, and rehabilitation exercises to treat back pain, while traditional Chinese medicine can use acupuncture to relieve pain. In addition, physical recuperation from the inside, such as bone degeneration in the elderly, if you can strengthen the diet, it can also improve the degeneration of the body. Gong Yanlun introduces the following types of food, which can enhance this function:
Such as soy milk. Soybeans are known to contain a natural female hormone called soy isoflavones, which is very similar to the human body's hormones, and interestingly, it has a double effect, not only preventing stingsStimulating the growth of breast cancer cells can also prevent osteoporosis like the body's natural female hormones, so drinking more soy milk is good for health, but it is not suitable for gout patients.
The main functions are moisturizing the lungs, clearing the liver, nourishing the kidneys, nourishing qi, producing sperm, helping yang, tonifying deficiency, strengthening muscles and bones, expelling wind, and improving eyesight. Therefore, for rheumatism or kidney qi Insufficient, the soreness caused by insufficient kidney water has a good effect.
It has high nutritional value and can protect the stomach and liver. The fruit has a sticky substance that can help digestion. It is also rich in protein and rich in vitamins A, B, calcium, iron, phosphorus and dietary fiber. It is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It can also be used as medicine to treat gastritis and gastric ulcer.
It has the functions of antibacterial, antioxidant, inhibiting cancer cells, regulating reproductive system, and enhancing immunity. And according to "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" records, it has the effects of nourishing, strengthening and antidiarrheal, and has the effects of invigorating the middle and benefiting qi, warming the spleen and stomach, etc. In addition, yam tubers are also rich in a variety of essential amino acids, protein, choline, cellulose, vitamins A, B1, B2, E and calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine, etc., and are a healthy food with excellent palatability. .
Sweet and warm in nature. Eucommia can remove rheumatism and increase the musculoskeletal strength of the waist. For rheumatic spondylitis, hypertrophic spondylitis, rheumatic psoas, and sciatica caused by rheumatism, Chinese medicine commonly uses Eucommia to treat.
