Today I will introduce to you the method of using Bletilla striata to treat frostbite. This traditional Chinese medicine can effectively treat frostbite problems, so let’s take a look at it below.

How to treat frostbite with Bletilla striata

The weather is getting cooler now, and some extremely cold areas have even entered the winter season. There is a group of people who are very worried about the coming of winter, because every winter they will get a disease - frostbite.

Chilblains are common in winter. They are caused by the cold weather and cause repeated erythema and swelling of the local skin. In severe cases, blisters and ulcers may appear. The disease progresses slowly and heals itself after the weather warms up. When the weather warms up, the disease will become extremely itchy, which is both itchy and painful and very uncomfortable. Chilblains are more common in children, women and people with poor peripheral blood circulation, and occur on the edges of the feet, heels and other parts of the body, often distributed on both sides.

In addition, frostbite is prone to recurrence. Many frostbite patients often suffer from frostbite every year, which is difficult to prevent. Today, I will briefly introduce a Chinese medicine for treating frostbite. It is very simple and convenient. It can not only treat frostbite, but also has a good effect on preventing the recurrence of frostbite. Frostbite patients may wish to save it.

This Chinese medicine is Bletilla striata

In traditional Chinese medicine, Bletilla striata is an astringent and hemostatic drug, which has the effects of astringing and stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and promoting tissue regeneration. It is used for coughing up blood, vomiting blood, bleeding from trauma, ulcer swelling, chapped skin, coughing up blood due to tuberculosis, bleeding from ulcer disease, etc.

There are two ways to treat frostbite with Bletilla striata:

One method is to directly apply white hyacinth powder to the frostbite area. Soak the white hyacinth powder in hot water to soften it, then apply it to the frostbite area and bandage it with gauze.

Another method is to add Vaseline to make a plaster for external application. The formula is: mix 10g of Bletilla striata powder and 100g of Vaseline together, make it into an ointment, and then use it to apply to the frostbite area. Apply it three times a day. Applying it for ten consecutive days can also cure frostbite. Although this method requires the addition of Vaseline, it is convenient to store and apply when made into a plaster, and does not require additional gauze bandage, so it is recommended.

The treatment of frostbite is very important, but preventive measures should also be strengthened in normal times, especially for patients who get frostbite every year. The editor also introduces some methods to prevent frostbite, hoping to be helpful:

1. Strengthen exercise, promote blood circulation, and improve the body's ability to adapt to cold;

2. Pay attention to anti-freeze, keep warm and avoid moisture, and do not wear tight shoes and socks;

3. Do not soak in hot water or warm up with fire immediately after freezing;

4. Active treatment should be given if accompanied by other related diseases;

5. For those who suffer from recurrent frostbite, you can use sub-erythema doses of ultraviolet or infrared rays to irradiate the local skin before winter to promote local blood circulation.
