Patient's question:
Description of condition: Starting a few days after childbirth, I began to feel a sensation of warmth, coolness, and mild itching on the left side of my body (arm, torso, leg). I don't know what's wrong, and how should I treat it?Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered yet.
Help desired: What could be the cause of these sensations? Is it due to catching a cold? How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
These Yang deficiency patients often need to use tonifying herbs. For those who need to replenish qi and nourish blood, ingredients like deer antler, cinnamon, ginseng, human placenta, aconite, panax ginseng, morinda, comfrey, clematis, prepared rehmannia, angelica sinensis, collagen, goji berries, and turtle glue are commonly used medicinal materials. When decocting, they can be stewed with chicken, duck, lamb, eel, and earthworms, combining both nourishment and deliciousness.Suggestion: Additionally, if you have a weak spleen and stomach, you can first decoct the various prescriptions, then remove the dregs and juice to turn it into a paste. Add rock sugar to it, dissolve it with warm water in the evening, and take one tablespoon, similar to how you would consume loquat syrup. This method is most suitable for those with a weak spleen and stomach and poor digestion and absorption.
