The new strain of H1N1 influenza is spreading around the world. This new strain of human influenza, which was mutated from pigs, is fierce and far more contagious than avian influenza, and patients are contagious even before they have a fever. Because of the scary power, a wave of panic has been set off, with people rushing to buy masks and stock up on medicines, as if SARS had struck six years ago.
From Mad Cow Disease, foot-and-mouth disease, SARS, avian flu and now the new influenza, Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, a variety of new viruses often appear, if the lack of Chinese medicine emphasis on the body’s vitality, that is, immunity and resistance, many people may not have the money to live before finding a doctor appropriate treatment.
In order not to be infected, the resistance of the body to the disease is a very important factor. In the past, the so-called plague in Chinese medicine actually refers to infectious diseases, and there are various symptoms of plague, even though it is caused by the same strain of virus, but the biggest difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that they do not use one medicine to the end.
Chinese medicine is to seek treatment by symptoms, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out, so although the virus is the same virus, but invaded into different human bodies, it will pick your weakness, according to each person’s resistance and have different symptoms, people with weak trachea virus will run to the trachea, people with weak gastrointestinal will run to the gastrointestinal, so the human body is invaded by the virus, each person will never have the same symptoms, and should not use the same medicine.
In particular, from the Chinese medicine point of view, the strength of the immune system is very much related to the ability of the liver to produce antibodies. The first step in treating infectious diseases in Chinese medicine is to increase the patient’s resistance, and then according to different body symptoms such as cough, sore throat, fever, inner ear inflammation, herpes, etc., to understand where the virus has invaded, and adjust the medication at any time to first replenish the vitality and increase the body’s ability to fight.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that there are many anti-viral drugs in Chinese medicine, such as Huang Lian, Yin Hua, Lian Qiao, Pan Lan Gen, etc. But what Chinese medicine focuses on is not just a heavy drug to kill the virus, but to make the good anti-body and enzymes in the body are also killed, wash hands regularly, disinfection, common sense of prevention is not divided between Chinese and Western medicine, but Chinese medicine pays more attention to whether there is enough anti-viral ability in the body.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who has been in contact with countless infected patients, has an antiviral drink handed down from Chinese ancestors. Although this recipe is widely circulated, it is a tea made from a few simple herbs such as smoked plum, licorice, and hawthorn, it is an antiplague remedy that has been handed down in ancient Chinese medicine books for thousands of years. During SARS and avian flu, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee always kept a bottle in the clinic for the clinic staff and patients to drink.
