More and more people choose traditional Chinese medicine treatment for lupus, now we take you to understand some advantages for traditional Chinese medicine treatment for lupus:
I. Fewer side effects.
The traditional Chinese medicine treatment for lupus can decrease the side effects, and is fit to long-term use. The traditional Chinese medication comes from natural herbs and has no hormone. Many lupus patients needs to take medications for a long time for inhibition of the disease, however the immunosuppression medication of the western medicine, such as hormone, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and chloroquine has many side effects. For example, during the treatment of western medicine, many immunosuppression medications would increase infection, restrain the growth, induce the cancer and worsen the immune disease caused by antibiotic while treating the disease. So it’s not fit to long-term use. In comparison, the traditional Chinese medicine treatment for lupus has fewer side effects, no drug dependence and drug tolerance.
II. Replacement of the hormone effect
Some of the traditional Chinese medicines have the effect of hormone, so we can use them to replace hormone clinically. This can decrease the side effects of hormone. But the traditional Chinese medicines take time to take effects. So the first choice for lupus patients in acute phase should also be hormone. After the symptoms relieved, we can use traditional Chinese medicines for regulation.
III. Targeted and individualized treatment
The traditional Chinese medicine treatment for lupus is based on syndrome differentiation and carries out a targeted and individualized treatment plan. “One prescription for one person” is the feature of traditional Chinese medicine. This treatment can improve every patient’s effect.
The above are some advantages for traditional Chinese medicine treatment for lupus. Experts note that patients should use traditional Chinese medicine for relief of the symptoms and improvement of body resistance after the disease gets steady by western medicine treatment.
