Taking ibuprofen must be planned according to individual physical factors and should not be taken randomly. Many people have to go to the hospital for emergency surgery because of gastrointestinal perforation caused by taking ibuprofen, so they must take it according to the doctor’s instructions.

In 2022, due to the global epidemic, there will be more and more people with fever and high fever, so many people will go to loot ibuprofen. Even pharmacies will not be able to buy drugs and will sell out of stock. Now, after media reports, people may be afraid and misunderstand. As long as we use drugs under the guidance of doctors, and as long as we carefully read the instructions before using drugs, we can minimize the risk of drugs.

How does ibuprofen affect our body? Why does it hurt our bodies so much if we don’t use it properly? What should we pay attention to? The following contents are expected to provide some reference suggestions for friends who use ibuprofen,

Ibuprofen is classified as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which is a very common over-the-counter drug. It can treat pain, inflammation and fever, and even dysmenorrhea in women.

In most cases, we take ibuprofen orally and absorb it into the blood through the digestive tract to play a role. The most commonly used one for adults is ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, and the most commonly used one for children is ibuprofen suspension. When it plays its drug role, it may also bring some negative reactions, which is a problem with all drugs, so you can understand this when you read the instructions.

Why is ibuprofen effective in treating inflammation, pain, and fever? This is because ibuprofen can inhibit the effect of cyclooxygenase COX1/COX2, which are the enzymes responsible for the formation of prostaglandins in the human body. Prostaglandins are extremely important for human beings because they participate in many important physiological processes of the human body. One of them is inflammation. The other is that prostaglandins are related to pain. They can stimulate some pain receptors in the human body. Therefore, if our body is infected or our tissues are injured, we will find a large number of prostaglandins in these areas, Prostaglandins can also affect the core structure of our brain, that is, the hypothalamus, which can affect our temperature and even the response to fever. Prostaglandins can also affect our stomach, which can help the mucus produced by the gastric mucosa to produce bicarbonate, thus protecting the stomach from the erosion of gastric acid. Prostaglandins can also help us regulate gastric acid and reduce the secretion of gastric acid. For women, Prostaglandins can also affect the contraction of the uterus and participate in the menstrual process of women. For the kidney, prostaglandins can also cause the dilation of small arteries that enter the kidney, which can protect our kidneys from sufficient blood flow. These are just some of the physiological functions that prostaglandins play in the human body

When we take ibuprofen, we control epoxide and enzymes, and we control the level of prostaglandins produced by the human body. It is beneficial to control inflammation, relieve pain and fever, and relieve women’s pain during menstruation, which can reduce the impact of disease factors on our bodies.

However, prostaglandins are also needed for the normal physiological functions of many parts of our body. This is the source of the side effects of ibuprofen. First of all, let’s talk about the impact of ibuprofen on the stomach. The stomach is one of the digestive organs of the human body. Its biggest function is to produce gastric acid, help the human body digest proteins and kill microorganisms entering the human body. The acidity of normal gastric acid can be close to the level of hydrochloric acid, You can imagine how strong the acidity is. When we digest food, our stomach is a bag full of hydrochloric acid, so the human body should avoid being digested by gastric acid while digesting food. This layer of gastric mucosa can produce mucus, and bicarbonate, which is an alkaline liquid. Our stomach uses these two substances as a buffer zone between gastric acid and stomach A barrier to protect the stomach, which means that the mucous layer and bicarbonate of the stomach are very important,

Prostaglandins can help the stomach produce mucus and bicarbonate, and reduce gastric acid. When I take ibuprofen, it reduces prostaglandins in the body. Although it alleviates pain, we also reduce the amount of mucus and bicarbonate in the stomach. We weaken the protective barrier of the stomach. At this time, gastric acid may start to corrode the stomach, This is the main reason why ibuprofen affects or stimulates the stomach. To some extent, ibuprofen can cause gastric ulcers or gastric bleeding. For most of us, the dosage of ibuprofen is strictly controlled, within the safe measurement range. It can not only control inflammation and pain but also not cause obvious stomach problems. In most cases, we only use ibuprofen for a short time, but some people are too sensitive or have certain stomach problems. This is common for people who often drink, stay up late, work and rest irregularly, eat high-carbon water, or have a history of arthritis, They need to take drugs like ibuprofen for a long time to control pain, so such people are more likely to have stomach bleeding and gastric ulcer problems.

It is very normal to worry that ibuprofen will damage the liver. The liver is the largest transit station for the human body. Nutrients in food and most drugs will be metabolized through the liver. For ibuprofen, the liver will decompose most of the substances entering the human body and excrete them through urine. The proportion of the effects of ibuprofen on the liver is actually very small.

Only 1 to 10 people in every 100000 people will suffer from liver damage due to NSAIDs. Ibuprofen may lead to changes in liver function tests, but this usually happens only when people take high doses. If a person stops taking Ibuprofen, these blood tests should gradually return to normal, so for most normal people, The risk ratio of liver damage is actually very low, but for those friends who have liver problems, you need to be careful. If you are taking other drugs that may cause liver damage at the same time, the risk will definitely be superimposed.

As far as the kidney is concerned, I think we need to pay more attention to it. Compared with the liver, ibuprofen will have a greater impact on the kidney. In the human body, the kidney is used to filter blood. The blood vessels connect to the kidney and then become many small blood vessels. They call it the glomerulus. It is such a small structure, which plays a filtering role. However, with this small structure, We cannot observe with the naked eye. It is like a very precise sieve. It turns too much water, too many nutrients, and the metabolic waste generated in our bodies into the urine and then discharges it down through the urine tube. This means that a lot of blood will flow through the kidney every day. Adequate blood flow can ensure the formation of adequate urine and can ensure adequate kidney nutrition supply, Such a process produces prostaglandins 24 hours a day, which plays an important role in regulating renal blood vessels. It can ensure the supply of renal blood flow. But when we take ibuprofen, prostaglandins are inhibited. When the renal blood vessels need to expand, if there are not enough prostaglandins, the renal blood supply will not be sufficient, so it will become a problem, Similarly, if you are a healthy person and do not use ibuprofen for a short time, this will not be a big problem. However, some friends take ibuprofen for a long time due to joint pain, and waist and back pain, which requires attention. You need to monitor your functions frequently. If you still have high blood pressure and high blood sugar. If you still smoke for a long time, these factors themselves will cause damage to the kidney blood vessels, which will affect the function of the kidney. Taking ibuprofen at this time may make you worse.

For those who take hypertension drugs, I would like to emphasize that if you are taking diuretics, renin-angiotensin, and system inhibitors at the same time, you must be extra careful when taking ibuprofen, because it will obviously increase the risk of kidney damage, so in this case, you need to consult with your doctor to adjust the medication plan, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble,

In addition, if you belong to the allergic population, if you have nasal polyp allergic rhinitis, if you have asthma, or if you are using ibuprofen for the first time, you need to pay attention to starting from a small dose and observe while using it, because it may aggravate your original disease, and for healthy people, we also need to pay attention to that when we use ibuprofen for analgesia, we should not use it continuously for more than five days, When we use ibuprofen to reduce fever, we should not use it continuously for more than three days. During the medication, we should never drink alcohol or drink coffee. We should strictly follow the instructions and never give large doses of adult ibuprofen to children. Only by doing so, can we really avoid or reduce the harm caused by the drug to the body,

Is there any other way to relieve symptoms besides taking medicine? We can also choose some methods or means of traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupoint massage, for sore throat, fever, or cough, and for patients with fever and high temperature, We can massage Hegu point, Dazhui point, Quchi point, etc. to relieve the patient’s pain symptoms, which can have a good auxiliary treatment effect. (Attached figure),

1. Hegu point: Most people know this point, which is the “tiger’s mouth” position. When the child has a high fever, the mother can pinch this point with her finger, and the effect can be seen in just one minute.

2. Quchi point: This point is near the elbow. When the child has a high fever, the mother can press this point to help the child stimulate the yang in the body, and at the same time achieve the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing heat,

and purging fire.

3. Dazhui point: This point is located at the neck. When the child has a high fever, he can lower his head and reach out to touch the hollow in the middle of the cervical vertebra, which can play a role in reducing the fever.

For sore throat, we can massage Shaoshang point. Please refer to the figure. The position of the Shaoshang point (attached figure) is 3mm away from the thumb. You can press it with your other thumb until it is slightly painful, but you should not press it too hard；

② Acetaminophen, is through liver metabolism, with liver basic diseases or alcohol abuse, try to avoid taking people. Ibuprofen, which has digestive tract side effects, is recommended to take it together with food or after meals to avoid taking it on an empty stomach. Ibuprofen is mainly for renal metabolism, excessive or long-term use, and the need to pay attention to kidney injury.

③ During the medication, it is also very necessary to supplement water or electrolytes in time. To reduce the occurrence of drug side effects. For some special groups, such as pregnant women, and babies under 6 months of age, we recommend using acetaminophen and avoiding taking ibuprofen.

④ Nursing women, both drugs can be taken, antipyretic drugs are only to relieve the symptoms, home spare ibuprofen and acetaminophen these two drugs are recommended. But there is absolutely no need to collect medicine, which is not advisable.

First of all, the commonly used Yang tonifying drug is Guifu Dihuang Pill. Its main function is to warm and replenish kidney yang. Guifu Dihuang Pill is a kind of Chinese patent medicine, which has the effect of warming and replenishing kidney yang. It is used for deficiency of kidney yang, flaccid waist and knees, poor urination or excessive urination, phlegm, asthma, and cough. The ingredients of Guifu Dihuang Pill are cinnamon, aconite, prepared Rehmannia, Cornus Officinalis, peony bark, Chinese yam, Poria cocos, and Alisma Orientalis. The prepared Rehmannia and Cornus officinalis in the formula mainly play the role of tonifying kidney yin; Chinese yam and Poria cocos can strengthen the spleen and infiltrate dampness; Alisma Orientalis can purge the water evil in the kidney; Peony bark can clear the damp fire of liver and gallbladder; Cinnamomum cassia and aconite can increase the effect of warming and tonifying kidney yang. The combination of various medicines can warm and replenish the kidney yang.

There is also a Chinese patent medicine called Jinkui Shenqi Pill. Many people think that Jinkui Shenqi Pill is Guifu Dihuang Pill. But look carefully, there is still a slight difference between the formulas of the two medicines. Cinnamomum twig is used in Jinkui Shenqi Pill, and cinnamon is used in Guifu Dihuang Pill. That is a small difference, which leads to Guifu Dihuang Pill, whose main effect is to warm and nourish kidney yang, The Jinkui Shenqi Pill has the effect of activating yang and transforming qi. Why? The main ingredients of Jinkui Shenqi Pill are made of Chinese yam, Rehmannia, Alisma Orientalis, peony bark, cinnamon twigs, plantain seeds, aconite, Cornus Officinalis, achyranthes bidentate, cinnamon, etc. It has the function of warming kidney yang, transforming qi, and promoting water. It can improve the soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, edema, unfavorable urination, chilly limbs, male impotence, ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and irregular menstruation caused by kidney yang deficiency.

However, it should not be used for those with insufficient kidney yin, inflammation due to deficiency of fire, or pure deficiency without evil. Patients should take it under the guidance of doctors. Avoid excessive nourishing, and aggravate discomfort symptoms such as yin deficiency, internal heat, dry mouth and tongue, and five heart upset heat. Pregnant women are not allowed to use it. Avoid roommates and anger when using it, so as not to damage kidney essence, which is not conducive to the efficacy. It is forbidden to eat raw and cold food, which affects the spleen and stomach and is not conducive to drug absorption.

Therefore, the main function of the Jinkui Shenqi Pill is to tonify the kidney and help yang, transform qi and promote water circulation. In the case of kidney yang deficiency and water dampness, on the basis of Guifu Dihuang Pill, the symptoms of water dampness, such as phlegm, and poor urination, can be referred to as a Jinkui Shenqi Pill.

Finally, take a look at Fuzi Lizhong Pill. Its main effect is to warm the yang, dispel the cold and replenish qi. Strengthening the spleen and stomach is the hub for the rise and fall of the human body’s qi. If you compare the human body to the spleen and stomach of a heating pipe, it is like a valve. Fuzi Lizhong Pill is composed of soaked aconite on the basis of Lizhong Pill. Fuzi Lizhong Pill consists of aconite (cannon), ginseng (reed removed), dried ginger (cannon), licorice (roasted), and atractylodes macrocephala. In the formula, aconite warms yang and dispels cold, and it is accompanied by processed ginger to warm and transport yang, atractylodes macrocephala to invigorate spleen and dryness, ginseng to invigorate qi and spleen, and roasted licorice to tonify the middle and rightness, and to harmonize various medicines.

Fuzi Lizhong Pill has the effect of warming yang and dispelling cold, supplementing qi, and strengthening the spleen. It is used for cold abdominal pain and cold stools. Fuzi Lizhong Pill is warm in nature, so yin deficiency and fire are strong, and those with a yang heat constitution should not take it. In addition, those allergic to Fuzi Lizhong Pill should not take it. Pregnant women and children should use it with caution.

TCM treatment must be based on syndrome differentiation. If the patient is unwell, it is recommended to see a doctor in a regular medical institution. Do not use drugs at will to avoid adverse reactions.

I always feel that my stomach hurts. It will be better to rub it when it is cold and warm. I feel that my stomach is full, and I don’t want to eat. Occasionally, I have diarrhea or vomiting. When I put my tongue out, I can see that the tongue is light, and the tongue coating is white. In this case, it is suitable to refer to the Fuzi Lizhong Pill.

Have you learned how to choose Guifu Dihuang Pill, Jinkui Shenqi Pill, and Fuzi Lizhong Pill?

Nowadays, many people suffer from insomnia. Some people either lie in bed and can’t sleep, or they can’t sleep when they wake up at midnight. If you also have this problem, today I’d like to share a Chinese patent medicine to help you solve the problem of insomnia. Don’t miss it if you have insomnia.

What is the reason for insomnia? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many reasons for insomnia, such as insufficient liver and blood, deficiency of the heart and spleen, etc., but the most common one is yin deficiency. What does it mean? Simply speaking, it is the balance of yin and yang, so that we can sleep safely. But when yin is deficient, the yang qi is less restricted by yin, so the yang qi becomes more and more vigorous, which creates virtual heat in our bodies. In other words, yin and yang are like the relationship between water and fish. When there is less water, the fish living in the water will not stay, will jump around, and cannot be quiet. The virtual heat generated by yin deficiency is rampaging in the body, which naturally makes it difficult to fall asleep at this time, or it is easy to wake up in the middle of the night when there are many dreams. In addition, such people also suffer from psychological irritability, night sweats, red tongue, and less fur. What should we do at this time? Of course, it is necessary to use the medicine of nourishing yin, clearing heat, nourishing the heart, and calming nerves.

Let’s share a Chinese patent medicine called Lily Xiangmian Capsule, which is made of lily, bergamot, jujube seed, wolfberry, mulberry, longan meat, lotus leaf, and chicken nugget. After the unique calming sleep factor of Lily Xiangmian Capsule enters the human body, it quickly reaches the human cerebral cortex and lower part of the cortex, fully penetrates into various parts of the cerebral cortex and lower part of the cortex, and fundamentally blocks the pathological excitatory factors that interfere with neurons, The neurons return to a normal state, the brain center receives the transmission information from normal neurons, and the cerebral cortex quickly enters into a relaxed state. Soon, they will be subject to sleep inhibition function. With the gradual deepening of the inhibition, all physiological activities of the human body will be reduced to the lowest level, and the whole body’s functions will begin to be in a state of rest and recovery. Finally, the sleep inhibition process will completely spread to the deep part of the brain and the midbrain, and people will safely enter high-quality sleep.

Lily Xiangmian Capsule has the following specific effects:

1. Eliminate sleep disorder: Lily Xiangmian Capsule can promote the synthesis of sleep transmitters, especially for 5-hydroxytryptamine, which can induce patients to sleep naturally and make nerves rest. Therefore, it can eliminate insomnia and restlessness, anxiety, headache, palpitations, sweating, and other symptoms caused by insomnia.

2. Regulation of nerve function: Lily Xiangmian Capsule can regulate the excitation and inhibition of nerves in both directions, especially the dopamine in the drug, which can relax the spastic nerves, thus eliminating the abnormal discharge of ganglia, and making the nerve function tend to balance.

3. Repair of nerve damage: Baihe Xiangmian Capsule can significantly increase the blood supply to the brain, promote the supply of brain nutrition, thus promoting the regeneration and differentiation of nerve cells, repair nerve damage, and completely eliminate sleep diseases that have lasted for years, decades, or even decades.

4. Enhance memory: Lily Xiangmian Capsule can significantly enhance memory, thinking, and intelligence. After taking it for 2 months, you can obviously feel that the brain is light, and the thickness of the cerebral cortex and the number of hippocampal synapses increase. Therefore, it can be widely used in the treatment of neuropsychological diseases, insomnia, depression, senile dementia, Parkinson’s disease, etc.

Baihe Xiangmian Capsule is made of pure Chinese medicine, focusing on conditioning and treatment. Experts suggest that the effect of taking Baihe Xiangmian Capsule according to the course of treatment is better.
