Combating COVID-19 with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in China

COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread throughout the world. China has achieved rapid containment of this highly infectious disease following the principles of early detection, early quarantine and early treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The inclusion of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the Chinese protocol is based on its successful historic experience in fighting against pestilence. Current findings have shown that the Chinese medicine can reduce the incidence of severe or critical events, improve clinical recovery and help alleviate symptoms such as cough or fever. To date there are over 133 ongoing registered clinical studies on TCM/integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The three Chinese patent medicines (Lianhua Qingwen Keli/Jiaonang (Forsythiae and Honeysuckle Flower Pestilence-Clearing Granules/Capsules), Jinhua Qinggan Keli (Honeysuckle Flower Cold-Relieving Granules) and Xuebijing (Stasis-Resolving & Toxin-Removing) Injection were officially approved by the National Medical Products Administration to list COVID-19 as an additional indication.

醫徹中西:中西藥夾攻癌症會否傷肝?

根據浸會大學10年前的統計,香港近半癌症病人同時使用中西藥治療癌症。不少癌症病人希望利用中藥調理身體,增強抵抗力,另一方面又擔心同時服用中西藥會損害肝功能。這是中西醫結合治療的重要障礙。中西藥同用會否損害肝功能?恐怕沒有一個簡單直接的答案⋯⋯

刘清泉:中医中药对流感治疗在四大方面效果非常好

刘清泉介绍:“比如在发病特点上,中医认为传染病发生发展的三个重要环节——天、地、人。所谓的天,是指自然气候、环境变化;地,是“疫戾”的致病邪气对人类的攻击;人,是人的抵抗力。在这个基础上,中医药对于传染病防治,更关注人的抵抗力和人体机能平衡的调整,黄帝内经讲‘正气存内,邪不可干’‘虚邪贼风,避之有时’。用通俗的话讲,就是我们每个人要养好正气,提升抵抗力,是防治传染病尤其是呼吸道传染病的一个重要内涵。在防治传染病方面,中医从理论层面和技术层面都非常丰富;在治疗方面,中医有非常完整的中药汤剂,也有非常好的中成药,针灸、推拿等中医非药物疗法,对传染病治疗也有非常好的疗效。”⋯⋯

抗疫「新常態」·「捉室中大象」 之一

國家防疫措施有效是不爭的事實,最有用的是「健康碼」,香港不採用是因為要保持私隱。其次是有爆發時快速封城、封區及封「市」(街市),香港也不做。過關人士也是最近才作檢測隔離,所以輸入個案很可能是第三波的源頭。雖然香港人同心自衞,但抗疫疲勞情勢下,危機如何處理?

白露養生三注意

怎麼防止秋燥呢?“白露”時節人們容易出現口乾、唇乾、鼻乾、咽乾、大便乾結、皮膚乾裂等症狀,也就是俗稱的“秋燥”。對於秋燥耗損津液的這些症狀,主要是因為“燥性乾涸”引起的,一般多飲水、服用養陰潤肺的中藥,能起到較好的滋陰潤燥效果⋯⋯
