What are the external methods of TCM for treating phlebitis?

Phlebitis is a serious disease. It is particularly harmful to patients and seriously affects their daily work and life, especially the psychological impact. If you have this disease, you should mainly regulate your body in daily life. In fact, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for phlebitis is generally quite obvious. Here I will introduce some external Chinese medicine methods for phlebitis.

When treating phlebitis, Chinese medicine often uses external plasters. Here are some external prescriptions:

1. Add 100 grams of holly leaves, 200 grams of brown sugar, and 500 grams of water, make a paste, remove the residue, and apply it to the affected area. Note that before applying, you must first clean the affected area with strong tea water. Apply once a day for 20 consecutive days.

2. Take 15 grams each of Trillium, myrrh, frankincense, turmeric, and 12 grams of angelica. Grind them together into fine powder and mix with vinegar for external application. Apply once a day, 15 days as a course of treatment.

3. Take aloe vera and anhydride pulp and leather core in a ratio of 2:1, add a little borneol, mash it and apply it to the affected area, and bandage it. For damp-heat acne stagnation type, use cold compress method; for qi stagnation and blood phlegm type, use hot compress method (i.e. heat the ointment in a pot and then apply it). Change the dressing once a day, and a course of treatment is 30 days.

4. Use 50 grams each of myrrh, rhubarb, water hydrocarbon, frankincense, and board, 40 grams of silkworm, 30 grams each of lithospermum, raw licorice, and borneol, and 25 grams of phellodendron. Grind these medicines into fine powder together and pass through a sieve. The finer the better. Take an appropriate amount of medicine powder and add an appropriate amount of honey to make a thicker direct solution, apply it to the red and swollen area, cover it with oilcloth or plastic cloth, and then fix it with a bandage or adhesive tape. Comb for 16-20 hours a day, and one course of treatment is considered one course of treatment.

Through the above introduction, we have learned about the external methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating phlebitis. The daily treatment of patients with phlebitis is the key, but conditioning in life is also particularly important, mainly in diet. Patients with phlebitis cannot eat spicy food. The patient's mood is especially important. You must regulate your emotions and stay happy in your daily life.
