止痛消肿的良药 仙人掌Swelling and pain medicine cactus

退休在家，闲来无事栽了盆仙人掌，虽其貌不扬又带小刺，但开出的黄花煞是好看，养在家里有一定的观赏价值。一个朋友还曾提及仙人掌有清热解毒、消肿止痛等药用价值。不过当时也不知真假，并没往心里去。
　　后来有一次，我手背的关节处不明原因出现酸软、麻痹、疼痛。找来消炎镇痛膏，敷了一天，没有见效。再换上伤湿止痛膏，敷了两天也不能止痛。细看患处，还有轻微红肿。想起朋友讲的仙人掌的药用，就抱着试一试的想法，到阳台上割下一块仙人掌，削去其表面的刺，切成片状，敷于患处。没想到这不花钱的东西比膏药还灵，敷了半天就不痛了，再敷一天，原来的红肿也消失了。看来这仙人掌不单可用来观赏，治疗无名肿痛也是一味良药。
　　点评：清代赵学敏所著的《本草纲目拾遗》记载，仙人掌味淡性寒，有行气活血、清热解毒、消肿止痛、健脾止泻、安神利尿等功效。
　　现代研究也证实，仙人掌具有消肿、解毒、止泄等功能。临床上将其鲜品去刺捣烂外敷，对治疗长期肌肉注射、抗癌化疗药外渗、火烫伤及外伤等引起的无菌性炎症肿痛有良好的效果。对细菌性炎症引起的肿痛，适量配用抗生素，亦有明显的效果。
　　该法取材容易，简单方便，经济有效。由于本品有小毒，对伤口有一定刺激，注意勿敷皮肤溃烂处。眼睛周围的肿痛尽量少用，必须使用时，注意保护眼睛勿受刺激。


Retirement at home,闲来无事planted pots of cactus, though far from being handsome brings small thorn, but out煞是pretty yellow, and raised in the home has a certain aesthetic appeal.

A friend has also mentioned Qingrejiedu cactus, medicinal value, such as swelling and pain. But do not know true and false, no往心里去.

Later, once the back of my joints unexplained appeared fatigued, numbness, pain. Found anti-inflammatory cream, enough for a day, there is no effect.伤湿止痛膏replaced again, enough for a couple of days should not have pain. Look at the lesion, there is a slight swelling. Friends think of the cactus medicinal, try it on with the idea to cut off the balcony on a cactus, cutting the surface of the gill, cut sheet, apply mature lesion. Did not expect this not to spend money on things than plaster also spirits, not enough pain for a long time, and then deposited the day, the original swelling also disappeared. It seems that not only can be used to watch cactus, treatment is also unknown pain medicine blindly.


Comments: Qing Zhao Xuemin book "Compendium of Materia Medica theft by finding" records, cactus tasteless cold, gas line has Huoxue, clearing away heat and toxic, Xiaozhongzhitong, Jianpi Zhixie, soothe the nerves such as the efficacy of diuretic. Modern studies have confirmed that the cactus has a swelling, detoxification, only China and other functions.

Clinical will be the fresh pounded external gill go on a long-term intramuscular therapy, anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent extravasation,火烫traumatic injuries, such as aseptic inflammation caused by swelling and pain have good results. Bacterial inflammation of the pain, regular distribution of antibiotics, some significant results.

The Act based on easy, simple and convenient, cost-effective. Because the goods have small poison of the wounds must have excitement, not enough attention to skin ulcers Office. Pain and swelling around the eyes to minimize the use of, we must use eye protection not stimulated.
