Precautions for treating asthma with Sanfutie

1. It is normal to have a strong reaction, don't scratch it

4-6 hours after applying the medicine, some people will feel itchy, which is a natural reaction after the medicine penetrates into the epidermis; some people will experience redness, swelling, heat and pain; about 1%-5% of people may develop blisters; these are caused by the full absorption of the medicine by the human body and the sensitivity of the acupuncture points, so the therapeutic effect for patients with skin blisters and strong reactions is often unexpectedly good. However, to prevent infection, do not scratch the blisters after they appear. Small blisters can be left to absorb on their own. Large blisters can be punctured and drained with a sterilized needle and coated with disinfectant.

2. Eat light food and avoid seafood

During the period of treating winter diseases in summer, patients should also pay attention to combining treatment and nourishment, be restrained in diet and lifestyle, avoid being greedy for coolness, and eat less cold drinks, so as to avoid stagnation of cold air deposited in the body and affecting the efficacy of the treatment; do not eat seafood, shrimp and other irritating foods, as well as fatty and greasy foods, so as to avoid phlegm and dampness, or aggravate the drug's reaction to the skin, such as itching, which will affect the treatment effect. The diet should focus on preventing heatstroke, nourishing yin and promoting body fluid, and it is not advisable to overeat fatty and greasy foods. Mung beans, lotus seeds, coix seeds, vegetables, fruits, lilies, polygonatum, lean meat, eels, and duck meat are more suitable.

3. Do not take a cold shower within 10 hours of application.

When applying the patch, it is best to wear loose clothing with good breathability, and avoid tight synthetic clothing. If necessary, participate in certain physical exercises to enhance your physical fitness. In addition, patients are forbidden to take cold showers within 24 hours of application and should use electric fans and air conditioners appropriately, otherwise it will damage the body's yang energy and make the treatment "half the result with twice the effort." Do not apply the patch if there is ulceration, infection, rash, etc. on the skin at the application site.

4. Follow a fixed course of treatment for three consecutive years

Winter diseases are treated in summer, and three dog days constitute a course of treatment. This year there is a leap second dog day, so there is "enhanced moxibustion". It usually takes 3 consecutive years, which means 3 courses of treatment. Only by adhering to the course of treatment can the efficacy of the medicine be maintained, the meridians can be in a state of continuous excitement and stress, and the elimination of pathogenic factors can maintain strength and inertia.
