How does TCM regulate narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is not common in life, but once it occurs, it takes a long time to **, and at present, the ** for narcolepsy is generally regulated by traditional Chinese medicine, and different Chinese medicine is selected according to the patient's physical condition and physical condition**.

One is phlegm, dampness and spleen type.

It is common in obese people, manifested as chest tightness, sluggishness, unpleasant stool, phlegm and vomiting, sticky mouth, heavy drowsiness, white and greasy tongue, slow pulse, ** The principle is: dryness and dampness to strengthen the spleen, phlegm and phlegm, prescription medicine, Banxia, plus Zhuru, Banxia, etc.

The second is poor temperament. It is more common in diseases.

Older patients, mainly manifested as fatigue, abdominal distension and less food, drowsiness after eating, drowsiness, lack of qi and lazy speech, body emaciation, obesity and edema, pale tongue, weak pulse, the principle of ** is to invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, prescription medicine to awaken the spleen and open the body of the soup plus ginseng, atractylodes, astragalus, etc.

The third is liver and spleen deficiency.

The patient is anxious and worried for a long time, listless, dizzy and dreamy, sometimes has discomfort in both flanks, less food, unfavorable stool or abdominal pain and diarrhea, thin white or slightly greasy tongue, thin or astringent pulse, the principle of ** is to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen and open the body, so as to wake up the spleen and open the body, add Bupleurum, Codonopsis, Citrus aurantium, etc.

Fourth, there is a deficiency of qi and blood.

The patient's face is yellowish or pale, he has little food, fatigue, palpitations and dreams, self-sweating, dizziness, pale tongue, thin and white moss, and a thin and weak pulse.

Fifth, it is damp and cloudy.

The patient's head is heavy, the mouth is dry and sticky, the patient does not want to drink water, the chest is tight and not hungry, the second stool is unfavorable, and the tongue coating is thick and greasy. And the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: "Where evil gathers, its qi will be empty, righteousness is inside, and evil cannot be done."

The head is the convergence of yang, if it is blinded by dampness and turbidity, the yang does not rise, and the turbidity and yin do not fall, then it is sleepy and drowsy. Aromatization, turbidity, awakening, spleen and opening the body is the best principle. Prescriptions: Awakening the spleen and opening the body, Tonga Peilan, Atractylodes, white cardamom, etc.

At present, narcolepsy is more thoroughly studied in the People's Hospital of Peking University, and it is generally recommended that the ** and the current ** guidelines for narcolepsy are recommended to be carried out with Western medicine, and it is not said that narcolepsy can be cured through traditional Chinese medicine. So in general, there is no obvious good way for TCM to use it for narcolepsy.

For example, if the patient is sleepy during the day, drowsiness can be used with modafinil or methylphenidate hydrochloride for mental stimulation, if the patient wants to have this kind of nocturnal hallucinations, etc., it can be carried out with tricyclic antidepressants or serotonin reuptake inhibitory drugs such as venlafaxine, and Chinese medicine has no effect on narcolepsy.

Narcolepsy is unknown, and it is mainly symptomatic, usually based on drugs, supplemented by a combination of psychiatric and psychological.

1. Drugs**.

1. Central stimulants:

1) Methylphenidate hydrochloride: It is the main drug for hyperactivity attention deficit syndrome in children, and the largest prescription drug for narcolepsy in the world, mainly improving the symptoms of drowsiness in patients.

2) Modafinil: It is the first-line drug for narcolepsy, but the mechanism of arousal promotion is unknown, which may be related to the inhibition of dopamine reuptake, and its main limitation is that it cannot improve cataplexy.

2. Antidepressants:

1) Venlafaxine: It has the dual effects of inhibiting adrenergic and serotonin reuptake, and has become the first-line drug for narcolepsy.

2. Surgery**.

Surgery is generally not required**.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine**.

Massage and relaxation. The patient is placed in the prone position, relaxes the body, and breathes steadily. Make the body surface fully enjoy the massage, ** after feeling numbness and hot comfort in the head, shoulders and back. 1 time per day, 10 times for 1 course of treatment.

1. Single Chinese medicine**.

Once narcolepsy occurs, you can follow the doctor's instructions to take Baizi Yangxin pills, the drug ingredients include Codonopsis, Astragalus, Baiziren, Chuanxiong, etc., all drugs can play a role in replenishing qi, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and then improve the patient's palpitations, irritability, insomnia and dreams. All patients should take this product according to the doctor's instructions, take the drug twice a day, and pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of dosage.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions**.

Compound licorice fine spicy decoction is a pure Chinese medicine decoction, which can be used for a variety of diseases, and has a significant effect on narcolepsy, which can improve the sleep quality of patients and improve the discomfort of sleep paralysis. The prescription is composed of musk, pearl, cordyceps, kanqi and other ingredients, the above drugs need to be decocted after adding water, patients can take one dose a day, according to the provisions of the medication can play a role in the lungs and kidneys, phlegm and cough, the original source of the curative effect.

In addition to using TCM methods**, people with narcolepsy should always maintain an optimistic mood, build good self-confidence, and avoid depression and sadness. If the condition is more serious, it is not advisable to travel alone, let alone engage in high-altitude or underwater operations to avoid accidents. After the disease is controlled, attention should be paid to dietary adjustment, and appropriate outdoor exercise should be carried out if necessary.

The above introduces two kinds of traditional Chinese medicine methods for narcolepsy, which affects people's quality of life and will bring harm to physical health. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a calm mind, try to cooperate with the doctor**, and carry out psychological counseling if necessary**.

Narcolepsy is a relatively rare and incurable disease, and its non-organic lesions are also characterized by most Western medicines who do not understand what problems occur in the patient's body, only know that the patient has drowsiness, and blindly give some central nervous system stimulant drugs such as modafinil or methylphenidate hydrochloride, etc., which can help with lack of energy and temporarily relieve the symptoms of drowsiness in patients, but this kind of practice of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall obviously does not consider the patient's body. As we all know, Western medicine is particularly harmful to the human body, especially psychostimulant drugs are contraindicated, not to mention the need to take it for a long time, there is a situation similar to "addiction", some patients who are taking it can try to stop taking the drug for a short time, and often find that the condition is not only not good but more serious than before, the control of simple symptoms is like pasting a layer of paper outside the rotten apple, there is always a day when it is pierced, and Western medicine will produce drug resistance when taken for a long time, and narcolepsy is characterized by lifelong continuation. It is extremely difficult to think about the fact that some respondents have been elevating "modafinil or methylphenidate hydrochloride" to belittle traditional Chinese medicine and not respecting the essence of things. Chinese hero Lin Zexu Humen sold cigarettes and struggled all his life to find China's proud bones, kicked out of the opium "addicts", these respondents want to find it back in every possible way, the act of murdering the Chinese people is also incomprehensible, and at the same time remind the majority of sleep patients, we must find the right way to deal with the symptoms, do not be blind and ignorant, blindly worship foreigners, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!

For people who are sleepy and drowsy all day, many people know about narcolepsy, but they don't know how to know for sure if they have narcolepsy, so what is narcolepsy? Let's take a look!

Narcolepsy is an uncommon and incurable disease, China's population of 1.4 billion, of which there are about 700,000 patients with narcolepsy, but so far there are only more than 5,000 confirmed patients, which fully shows that even if some friends have narcolepsy, they do not pay attention to it, and there is no examination, so they can only let the disease develop seriously and eventually lead to the consequences of not being able to do it!

Since narcolepsy has such a great impact on everyone, is there any way to regulate**? Of course, the answer is yes, we all know that Chinese medicine is symptomatic, many patients are sick and unbearable for a while, they also go to the local area to find Chinese medicine for **, but the results are often unsatisfactory, the money is not spent, but the disease has no progress, in fact, it is mainly caused by the lack of clinical experience of doctors, not that Chinese medicine can not ** but there are too few cases in this area, less contact, no experience and no foundation, only common sense conditioning, as if everyone knows that the doctoral students of the Chinese medicine hospital graduated, even if the education is higher, a patient has not seen it, Everyone still dare not accept the same, maybe the doctor in his village has not graduated from primary school, but the medical skills are superb and famous, so many patients around will still come to the same, the most important thing for doctors is not academic qualifications but medical skills, China has both wandering doctors in ancient times, and they are often more knowledgeable than the doctors who study medical skills step by step and graduate from the clinic. Regardless of whether the white cat or the black cat can catch the mouse is a good cat, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and in the same way, the doctor who can cure the disease is a good doctor, so everyone can not blindly ask for medical advice, and finding the right method is the key!

Analysis: People don't know much about narcolepsy, but they may also have it, but they just don't know it.
