How does TCM treat uremia?

Everyone knows the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine. That is why it is still very popular today. Many people choose traditional Chinese medicine as their first choice for treatment when they are sick. Traditional Chinese medicine can cure many difficult and complicated diseases that are very difficult to treat. This is also one of the reasons why people believe in traditional Chinese medicine. So how does traditional Chinese medicine treat uremia? Let me introduce it to you today.

1. You can choose medicines such as raw astragalus, aconite, cordyceps, epimedium, Morinda officinalis, pinellia, salvia miltiorrhiza, plantain seed, sophora flavescens, coptis chinensis, rhubarb, peach red, angelica, safflower, etc. which can warm the kidney, purge turbidity, remove blood stasis and clear away qi. These medicines can strengthen the body, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, expel evil without hurting the body's vitality, have the effects of bringing forth something new through the old, improving renal blood flow, reducing urea nitrogen and blood creatinine, and correcting acidosis. They can significantly improve clinical symptoms, enhance the body's metabolism and immune function, accelerate the excretion of toxic substances, prevent further damage to the glomeruli, inhibit the increase of urea nitrogen and creatinine, and promote the increase of hemoglobin.

2. Acupoint application: Process raw rhubarb, salvia miltiorrhiza, motherwort, coix seed, chuanxiong and gansui into coarse powder and mix evenly. Soak them in sesame oil and place them in a casserole and boil until they become a paste. Stick it on the Shenshu and Guanyuan acupoints, so that the medicine can penetrate through the skin and stimulate the acupoints, directly acting on the kidney points through the meridians, thereby achieving the effects of warming the kidney, activating the collaterals, promoting diuresis, and clearing turbidity. This method is widely used in clinical practice. Its advantage is that it is not absorbed through the digestive tract and does not cause gastrointestinal reactions.

3. Chinese medicine enema: This method has a certain colon dialysis effect and is an important way to remove nitrogen from the body. It is a supplement to oral medications and is especially suitable for patients who cannot take oral medications. Generally, rhubarb, aconite, raw oyster, wild yam and dandelion are used to clear the bowels and eliminate turbidity, promote the excretion of toxins from the intestines, inhibit protein decomposition, increase intestinal peristalsis, prevent the absorption of toxins in the intestines, promote the excretion of toxic substances in the body, and help reduce the load on healthy renal units, thereby controlling the increase of toxic substances such as blood creatinine and urea nitrogen.

5. Medicinal baths generally use drugs that can easily penetrate the skin and enter the body to take effect. Such as ephedra, cinnamon twig, angelica root, salvia miltiorrhiza, safflower, chuanxiong, saposhnikovia divaricata, asarum, etc., it uses the warm effect of medicinal bath water to directly apply the medicinal ingredients to the body surface. As the skin temperature increases, the skin capillaries expand, which promotes the circulation of blood and lymph, and increases the excretion of toxins with sweat. Therefore, the damaged kidneys have a chance to recover on their own, the urine volume increases, the edema subsides, and the body's immune ability is improved. Current research shows that ephedra can improve renal blood flow, and safflower can improve circulatory function, thereby playing a diuretic role. As a large amount of water is discharged from the body, edema subsides, and urea nitrogen and creatinine are excreted from the body, not only the symptoms of nausea and vomiting are relieved, but the dangers caused by hyperkalemia symptoms can also be quickly improved, playing the role of skin dialysis.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a good understanding of how traditional Chinese medicine treats uremia. In addition to the therapies introduced above, we can also use diet therapy to regulate our body at night. It is best to eat less high-protein foods, which is beneficial to the treatment of the disease.
