The method of treating myopia with traditional Chinese medicine
The treatment of myopia by traditional Chinese medicine is a method mainly to adjust the physiological function of the eye, aiming to improve the eye circulation, alleviate eye fatigue and improve vision. Here are some common methods of treating myopia in traditional Chinese medicine.
Acupuncture therapy
Acupuncture and moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method, which adjusts the energy flow of the body by inserting fine needles at specific points. In the process of treating myopia, acupuncture can improve the blood circulation of the eye, improve the nutrition supply of the eye tissue, thus reducing eye fatigue and improving vision. Acupuncture usually requires several consecutive treatments to see the effect.
In addition to the traditional acupuncture therapy, there is a modern electroacupuncture therapy that can also be used to treat myopia. Electroacupuncture uses low-frequency current to stimulate specific points, which can enhance the therapeutic effect and accelerate the recovery of blood circulation in the eyes.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment
Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly used to improve eyesight by adjusting the balance of yin and yang in the whole body and supplementing the nutrients needed by the eyes. Commonly used Chinese medicines include medlar, dendrobium, chrysanthemum, etc. These drugs are believed to improve the blood circulation of the eye and increase the nutrition supply of the eye. Traditional Chinese medicine for myopia usually requires long-term adherence, and the effect is relatively slow.
Chinese medicine treatment of myopia needs to choose appropriate drugs and doses according to individual conditions. Therefore, when choosing traditional Chinese medicine to treat myopia, it is best to consult a professional TCM doctor and conduct a comprehensive physical analysis and symptom assessment. At the same time, attention should be paid to the quality and dosage of traditional Chinese medicine to avoid unnecessary side effects.
Eye care
Eye care is an important part of Chinese medicine for myopia, including eye movement, eye massage and eye rest. Eye movement can improve the strength and flexibility of eye muscles and promote eye blood circulation. Eye massage can relieve eye fatigue and improve eyesight. Eye rest can reduce the damage to eyes caused by long-time use of electronic products.
The specific methods of eye care include looking into the distance, eye movement, eye closure and relaxation, eye massage, etc. Insisting on eye care every day can effectively prevent further development of myopia and improve existing myopia.
Adjuvant therapy
TCM treatment of myopia can also be combined with other auxiliary treatment methods, such as choroid injection, cupping, moxibustion, etc. Middle vein injection is a therapeutic method of injecting Chinese medicine injection directly into the eye points and collaterals, which can improve the eye circulation and promote good visual condition. Cupping and moxibustion can improve eyesight by improving the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body.
The selection of appropriate treatment methods requires comprehensive consideration of individual age, myopia, physical condition and treatment objectives. For children and adolescents, early treatment can better prevent the further development of myopia. For adults, the goal of treatment is more to alleviate eye fatigue and improve vision.
