In clinical practice, some patients with renal insufficiency are often encountered, and their condition has not reached the point of non dialysis. However, due to the inability to eliminate toxins in the body, the condition is becoming increasingly severe. On the basis of traditional Chinese medicine decoction combined with enema therapy in the past, traditional Chinese medicine steam therapy, namely fumigation and medicinal bath method, has been carried out, which has alleviated the condition of more than 50 patients with chronic renal insufficiency to varying degrees through easy "skin dialysis".
Ms. Tan, who is in her early 40s, has been suffering from pyelonephritis for 9 years. Recently, she was treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University due to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, swelling, and itching. She was diagnosed with uremia and hospitalized. While taking the traditional Chinese medicine formula "Xianghuangcao Mixture" orally, Ms. Tan gradually eliminated the above symptoms after two weeks of fumigation treatment with "medicinal bath". Her physical strength increased, and indicators such as blood creatinine and urea nitrogen significantly improved. After continuous treatment for one and a half months, and after a period of recuperation, Ms. Tan has now returned to her work position.
The patient who "steamed" the medicinal bath told the reporter: the feeling is only one word - "refreshing". Except for the head, the entire person lies in a fully enclosed traditional Chinese medicine steam therapy device and undergoes a 30 minute medicinal bath fumigation. During the process of receiving fumigation, you can also chat with family and friends, or close your eyes and take a nap, which is very comfortable and comfortable. Once every other day, a course of treatment is given every 10 days. After each treatment, I feel relaxed and free from itching and irritability.
What is the reason for this type of "skin dialysis" treatment? Professor Wu Yunxia, the leader of the nephrology department at the hospital, explained that the excretion of endotoxin in the human body mainly relies on bowel movements, sweating, and other channels. Patients with renal insufficiency, due to the loss of the kidney's ability to detoxify from urine, and the patient's fear of cold and sweatless due to yang deficiency, also lose the function of sweat detoxification, and urea cream precipitates from the skin, making the patient's skin itchy and unbearable. At this point, patients can only achieve detoxification by diarrhea, but long-term diarrhea will consume their already weak body, making it difficult for patients to bear. For these patients with renal insufficiency, when using general non replacement therapy is difficult to work, it can be considered to detoxify through the skin. A series of traditional Chinese medicine formulas are composed of nourishing, eliminating pathogenic factors, resolving blood stasis, purging turbidity, and detoxifying herbs. Depending on the patient's different syndrome types, the herbs are added or reduced to a pot and fumigated with hot steam to make the patient's entire skin sweat, eliminate edema, accelerate the discharge of pathological products and toxins such as blood stasis, thereby reducing the levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen in the blood, improving renal function and clinical symptoms, and enhancing the body's immune capacity
