How to treat osteoporosis in traditional Chinese medicine

Osteoporosis is a common clinical disease that everyone has heard of. It usually affects middle-aged and elderly patients. There are many causes of this disease, and the number of patients has tended to increase in recent years. Osteoporosis has a great impact on patients' work and normal life, so patients are very anxious about the treatment of the disease. So, how does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat osteoporosis? Regarding this issue, please see the following introduction.

Traditional Chinese medicine experts believe that osteoporosis occurs due to improper diet and damage to the spleen and stomach. Over time, the spleen and stomach function weakens, affecting food digestion. As a result, nutrients cannot fill the meridians, leading to osteoporosis. Even if the spleen and stomach are not weak, insufficient kidney yin can cause osteoporosis. Because the kidneys control the bones and store essence, the nutrients digested by the spleen and stomach cannot be replenished in the bones. Therefore, osteoporosis is divided into spleen qi deficiency type and kidney yin deficiency type according to the pathogenesis. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for osteoporosis:

1. Chuanwu and Caowu can relieve pain by unblocking meridians, while Danggui and Chuanxiong can nourish blood, activate blood circulation, and resolve blood stasis and relieve pain. The four drugs are used together to relieve pain in order to urgently treat the symptoms, so they are adjuvant drugs.

2. Gusongkang Capsule is composed of Chinese herbal medicines such as Epimedium, Curculigo, Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, Morinda Officinalis, Chuanxiong, Angelica, processed Chuanwu, processed Caowu, and roasted Licorice. In the formula, Epimedium is pungent, sweet, and warm, and it enters the liver and kidney meridians, which can tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, dredge the meridians and relieve pain. Phellodendron is bitter and cold, and it also enters the kidney meridian, which can strengthen yin and treat bone steaming and hot flashes. The two medicines are used together to tonify yin and yang, and complement each other to treat the root cause. They are the monarch medicine; Curculigo and Morinda Officinalis are both warm and enter the kidney meridian to help Epimedium tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, and Anemarrhena is bitter and cold to strengthen yin, which can help Phellodendron strengthen yin and reduce deficiency heat. The three medicines are the minister medicines in the formula.

3. Roasted licorice root can strengthen the spleen and kidney and relieve the toxicity of the two black herbs. In order to make the medicine work together, all the medicines in the prescription can replenish both yin and yang and treat the symptoms and root causes at the same time, and it can be warm but not dry. After use, it can not only relieve pain quickly, but also gradually improve the symptoms of osteoporosis and enhance the body's disease resistance.
