Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Wang. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, where there is pain in the body, it is mostly "blocked", the so-called "pain if it doesn't work". The traditional Chinese medicine angelica is a "master" who is good at dredging and specializing in pain relief. It itself is medicinal and warm, and can walk and disperse, but its power lies in knowing how to "work as a team". As long as you find the right "partner" for it, you can help you solve several common pain problems from head to toe.

Today we will talk about the three classic combinations of angelica angelica and see how it copes with headaches, stomach pains and joint pain.

1. Headache: angelica angelica + chuanxiong, drive away wind and cold, and open the head

Many people have this experience: as soon as the wind blows and catches a cold, their head begins to hurt and twitches, and sometimes they also have brow bone pain and nasal congestion.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mostly the evil of wind and cold that invades the head and blocks the passage of qi and blood. At this time, it was the turn of the classic combination of angelica angelica and Chuanxiong.

The medicinal properties of angelica angelica are very specific, good at walking the head and face, can dispel the wind and cold evil energy entrenched in the head, and can also clear the nostrils, so it is particularly effective for this kind of headache accompanied by nasal congestion.

And Chuanxiong is known as the "qi medicine in the blood", which means that it can not only activate the blood, but also circulate qi, and is full of power. It can rush straight to the top of the head with medicinal properties, helping angelica to dredge the blocked meridians together.

One is responsible for accurately dispersing external evils, and the other is responsible for strongly activating blood circulation.

2. Stomach pain: angelica angelica + tangerine peel, soothe the liver and regulate qi, soothe the spleen and stomach

Are you like this: when you are angry and anxious, your stomach hurts, or you are so swollen that you can't eat, or even acid reflux?

This is actually a poor liver qi, which is called "liver qi stagnation" in traditional Chinese medicine. The relationship between the liver and the spleen and stomach is very delicate, and when the liver qi is blocked, it is easy to "bully" the spleen and stomach (liver wood kes spleen soil), resulting in problems in the stomach. At this time, using angelica angelica alone to relieve pain is a bit of a symptom rather than a root cause.

The best way is to pair angelica with tangerine peel.

Tangerine peel is a good hand for relieving the liver and regulating qi, harmonizing the spleen and stomach. It can evacuate the stagnant liver qi, relieve the "pressure" on the stomach, and at the same time dry and damp phlegm, relieving the feeling of fullness in the stomach.

Angelica angelica is responsible for warming the spleen and stomach here, directly relieving the pain that has occurred.

One dredges the liver qi from the root, and the other relieves pain in local temperature, and the two work together, not only can stomach pain and bloating be relieved, but the whole person's mood and appetite will also be comfortable.

3. Joint pain: angelica + eucommia ulmoides, support righteousness and dispel evil, strengthen muscles and bones

Middle-aged and elderly friends, or people who are usually overworked, often have joint pain, waist and knee weakness, and it is even more uncomfortable on rainy days.

There are often two reasons for this kind of pain: one is that the body is weak, which is what traditional Chinese medicine calls "liver and kidney insufficiency". The liver is the main tendon, the kidney is the main bone, the liver and kidney are deficient, and the muscles and bones are naturally not strong. Second, there are external evils such as "wind, cold, and dampness" that take advantage of the emptiness and stay in the joints, causing stasis and pain.

In the face of this situation, angelica with Eucommia ulmoides is perfect.

Angelica angelica continues to exert its ability to activate blood circulation, drive away evil spirits and relieve pain, and drive out the wind, cold and dampness in the joints.

Eucommia ulmoides is a good medicine, which can accurately nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen the waist, knees, muscles and bones. It is like adding bricks to the "foundation" of the body, fundamentally enhancing our ability to resist external evils.

The idea of this combination is very clear: while correcting the right, the evil spirit is dispelled. Bai Zhi is responsible for "sweeping" the enemies in the joints, and Du Zhong is responsible for "repairing and reinforcing" our city walls. In this way, the joints can truly recover flexibly and strongly.

Finally, a warm reminder:

The combination and use of traditional Chinese medicine is a deep science, which pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. Everyone's physique and pain causes are different, and the above combination is only a popular science Chinese medicine idea. If you have related problems, please be sure to use the medication rationally according to your specific situation under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner.
