Snake string sores are clustered blisters on the skin,accompanied by severe burning-like pain.Most of them feel the evil of wind,fire or wet poison,or factors such as mood,diet,and living disorders cause the evil of wind,fire,and wet poison to stagnate in the liver and gallbladder,stasis of the meridians,and stagnation of qi and blood on the surface of the skin.It is equivalent to“shingles”in modern medicine.The characteristics of the disease are:herpes and pain.For symptomatic treatment,it is imperative to get rid of diseases and evil spirits as soon as possible.
Our department uses acupuncture and moxibustion and cupping to treat herpes zoster and residual neuralgia,which can quickly relieve pain and shorten the course of the disease.The curative effect is significant.The treatment is based on the principle of clearing heat and dampness,cooling blood and detoxification,reducing swelling and relieving pain.Treatment must be thorough in dispelling evil spirits,so that evil can be cured.Direct pricking at the herpes site is a laxative method,which can open the herpes to clear the heat and relieve the heat and poison.Cupping with local blood can expel the dampness,heat and stasis with the blood stasis,and the pain of herpes can subside immediately with the discharge of the blood stasis.Modern research has shown that pain syndrome is related to meridian qi and blood stasis.Blood stasis can achieve the purpose of relieving pain by dredging the stagnant qi and blood in the meridians,eliminating stasis and producing new ones,and can improve disorders,remove pathological products,and promote benign changes in local physiology and biochemistry.
Herpes zoster is a herpes zoster virus that invades the spinal nerves,and the location of patients with residual neuralgia is not only in the dorsal root ganglion.The virus may spread to the sympathetic nerve.Although herpes subsides,local skin still feels uncomfortable,local paroxysmal or persistent burning pain,tingling,etc.,can last for months or even years,making the patient's bedroom difficult and suffering.There is no reliable medicine and treatment method in modern medicine.Our department adopts methods such as pericarp,fire needle,acupoint injection,and blood cupping,which can quickly relieve pain and achieve the purpose of healing.
Precautions:During treatment,the skin of the lesion should be kept dry and tidy,and irritating foods such as spicy,seafood,lamb,onion,ginger and garlic should be avoided.
