Why eliminating blood stasis is important in dangerous stage of COVID-19?

 Recently the variants of COVID-19 is spreading and it is really fearful. The Delta variant, Delta plus variant, Alpha etc. Here I recommend one TCM method that will be used to diminish ratio of death in the serious stage of COVID-19. This is not my personal opinion but this from medical reports that supports it. 

In around 1970, a specialist of emergency medicine, Wang Qin Da in China said there is three stages and three methods in emergency situation. the first one is systemic inflammation, the second is blood stagnation ( bad circulation ) and the third is the multiple organs are not functioning ( mal functions of multiple organs ). Most of emergency situation from inflammation that threatens the lives of patients usually pass these three stages and then easily die. Here the second one, blood stagnation is about the blood becomes sticky and becomes very bad because of immunological reaction in the body. Most of treatments of inflammation is focusing on how to remove the inflammation but just few people think about blood stagnation. Blood stagnation can boost the break down of function of blood that leads to mal function of organs. Blood stagnation can happen from serious systemic inflammation. 

From some reports, Heparin increased the survival rate from serious stage of Covid-19. Heparin is a kind of anti-coagulant of blood. But they say they need more clinical experiment. So modern medicine also think the removing blood stagnation can help the situation of serious inflammation. 

Form prof. Wang Qin Da, removing blood stagnation during the stage of systemic inflammation will prevent the patient enter the worse situation and also diminish the death rate. In the early 2000s, when SARS happened in CHINA, they invented one formula, Xue Bi Jing, that is specially for eliminating blood stagnation. The main herbs are Hong hua, chi shao, Chuan xiong, Dang gui... very much similar to the formula, Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang that is designed to eliminate the blood stasis. Any way, many patient survived after this special formula was used for the patients. 

And now Covid-19, in China, they use the formula Xue Bi Jing to eliminate the blood stasis for the patients of dangerous stages of Covid-19 and got the good result.  I think now just vaccine but also the important thing is using the effective medicine for patients survive and we can have some hints from this method, eliminating blood stasis. Hope many western medical doctors will consider this facts. Thanks.

Effect of TCM herbal formula for Covid-19.

 

Recently I heard a good news from a group of my Brazilian friends. My Brazilian friends used TCM herbal formula for covid-19 and it showed very good results. The duration time of being sick became shortened very fast. I was also glad to hear that news. 

They are using TCM herbal formulas for covid-19 because I uploaded a video about TCM herbal formula for covid-19 on youtube last year, and they use the formulas for the cases. We had online conference talk about pandemia last year too. 

In Brazil, it is impossible to buy all types of formulas that are used for covid-19. But in Brazil, already a lot of herbal medicine practitioners and pharmacies are producing TCM herbal formulas.  It is a good news .  Here I list some useful TCM formulas for covid-19

1. Yu ping feng san : this is mainly for prevention of covid-19. Specially used for people who has weak immunity. 

2. Huo xiang zheng qi san : this is for the initial stage of covid-19, symptoms are usually slight headache, fatigue, diarrhea, no desire to eat, heavy body, abdominal pain. light fever

3. Yin qiao san : This is for the initial stage of covid-19 but mainly for fever. 

4. Sang ju yin : this is also for the initial stage of covid-19 but mainly for coughing 

5. Qing fei bai du tang : this is for inflammation of lung (Pneumonia) for covid-19, the symptoms can be the typical symptoms of pneumonia

and there are many other formulas to use depending on the stages and symptoms. The way of TCM is diagnosis of patterns of the situation. If you are not a TCM practitioners, the best way is consult the TCM practitioners. If you are a TCM practitioner, you can consider these formulas when you treat covid-19 patients with Chinese medicine herbology.

Big change of human consciousness for covid-19

 Pandemic of covid-19 is a big natural disaster. A lot of people are dying and suffering from the sequelae of covid-19. Not just physically but also and emotionally as well. It is because pandemic is not just about physical disease but it also influences human mind and emotion a lot. Lots of people lost their jobs and family or friends. It really is a big disaster to human at this century. 

 Now people are wearing masks to protect others from being infected. Yes, you can say you are protecting yourself but the meaning of mask is more about protecting others from me if I have virus. If other people are infected, I also can be infected from them. So protecting others is protecting myself. So now people begin to think about this, group. In 21st centuries, individualism has been the most important value in most of modern society but now people are changing. If they lose group thinking and group protection, they can perish. This big change came with covid-19. 

 But I am worrying about the new mental diseases can happen during and after pandemic.  A lot of people can happen to have mental depression, frustration, schizophrenia, etc. It is because pandemic is not just physical disease but it also influence us mentally, emotionally, politically and spiritually. Many people lost their jobs, friends and family. We need to prepare ourselves for this another problem that can happen after the pandemic. But it is happening now already. 

TCM formulas for sequelae of covid-19

  Recently we hear a lot of cases of sequelae of covid-19. For example, some people complain that they still have dizziness, headache, fatigue, difficulty in breathing, joint pain, coughing, fever and even some serious cases have inflammation of heart or kidney. 

  In TCM (Chinese medicine ) view this is a kind of situation of deficiency of Qi, blood, Yin or Yang. Here let's see what will be the treatment idea of TCM for sequelae of covid-19

 1. Coughing for deficiency of Yin of lung and Qi : This case will be common because the covid-19 is a kind of febril disease  and this fever can consume the Yin, essence and Qi of the patient. In this case usually patient complains the symptoms of dryness or dry mouth, difficulty in sleeping, breathing difficulty, night sweat or gets worse at night, night fever etc. Formulas of Chinse herbal medicine for this case can be Sha shen mai dong tang or Sheng mai san

2. Fatigue, dizziness for deficiency of Qi and blood: if fatigue is the main problem, deficiency of Qi must be considered the first. in this cases, Shi quan dan bu tang, Ba zhen tang can be considered as a treatment formula in TCM

.3 Body pain for wind damp at the joints, deficiency of liquid, Yin, blood stasis : this is also common, the point is nourishing the body and eliminate the blood stasis at the same time. Formulas like Da qin jiao tang, Liu wei di huang wan, Shen tong zhu yu tang etc

4. Diarrhea for deficiency of spleen and dampness : Shen ling bai zhu san can be considered. 

And there can be many other sequelae symptoms that can be considered in TCM view. The point is the sequelae situation is mostly deficiency situation and TCM herbs will be useful for it.
