天灸實錄:天使魔鬼灸肥仔
註冊中醫師 徐澤昌
踏進12月,進行三九天灸的季節很快又到了,令我想起當年在南京學醫時,在江蘇省中醫院當實習生發生的一些趣事。
每逢到了進行天灸療法的季節,被分配到貼天灸科室的同學就會忙得透不過氣來,常常會遲吃飯、晚下班。在南京,接受天灸療法的巿民十分多,十分受歡迎,原因是天灸療法既經濟又環保,毋須服藥又可以改善體質,對於一些長期性、慢性、反覆發作的虛寒性疾病如哮喘、鼻敏感、經常性感冒、慢性胃炎、婦女月經不調、宮寒不孕、手足冰冷、畏寒怕冷等功效顯著,可以減低疾病發作的機會。
還記當年當實習生輪轉到針灸科室的時候,有一位長得十分可愛的小胖子,名叫「小安」,笑起來像一個紅蘋果,每逢見到醫師或實習生時,都會露出天使般的笑容,臉上兩團肉都會圓圓的鼓起來,讓人忍不住伸手去捏一下。
每逢星期一、三、五的下午,小安的媽媽都會帶小安來做針灸,目的是想幫助小安控制體重和改善近視。
其實小安十分懼怕針灸,每次來到針灸科室,在針灸前的一秒還跟我們嘻嘻哈哈的玩耍得十分開心,一見到醫師來,手上拎着銀針的時候,便會在一秒鐘之間變成惡魔般的小孩,恐懼地掙扎着要擺脫被扎針的命運。小安雖然只有3、4歲,但力氣卻大得驚人,往往要幾個實習生來幫忙按住才能讓老師下針。可惜天意弄人,一個才3、4歲的小朋友怎麼也敵不過幾個成年人的力量,最終屈服在強勢之下,被老師在身上扎了幾針。
其實扎針並不是很痛,很多時只是心中的恐懼。扎完針,小安很快又會平靜下來,繼續嘻嘻哈哈地跟我們玩耍,一會兒跟我們討零食,一會兒又跟我們玩認字遊戲。在小安身上,我認識到甚麼叫做「天堂與地獄只有一線之差」。
小安的媽媽都會定時定候帶小安來做針灸治療,直到有一個星期三的下午,我記得當天的南京只有幾度,還下着雨夾雪,小安當天沒有出現,打聽之下才知道小安一直患有哮喘,因為急性發作而進入急診室,正在住院部接受治療。其實小安的身體狀況比之前已大大改善,經過醫師治療後哮喘和鼻敏感已甚少發作,只是這次發作的前一天,小安因爲饞嘴,跟奶奶要了雪糕,又喝了冰凍的可樂,加上寒冷天氣,令到哮喘發作。
哮喘,中醫可分為「哮病」和「喘證」,哮病是一種發作性的痰鳴氣喘疾患,主要是因為各種不同的原因,使津液不歸正化,凝聚成痰,伏藏於肺,成為發病的「夙根」。外界的氣候、飲食、情緒、勞累等可使其誘發,其中以氣候變化為主。而「喘證」則是以呼吸困難,甚至張口抬肩,鼻翼煽動,不能平卧為臨床特徵的病症。在臨床上,「哮必兼喘」、但「喘未必兼哮」,而且哮病具有反覆發作性的特性,嚴重發作的話會使呼吸困難,可以致命。現代醫學一般以吸入式藥物控制病情發作,哮喘患者往往身上都會帶備這些吸入式藥物以備不時之需。
其實要治療哮喘、鼻敏感等疾病,中醫會以「發時治標,平時治本」作為治療原則,即發作期的時候,以紓緩急性症狀為主;在緩解期的時候,則須調理體質,增強正氣,減少復發的機會。
天灸療法源於古代的中國,已經有數千年歷史,是一種以辛溫刺激性的藥物,敷貼在特定穴位上的外治法,透過剌激特定穴位,可以溫經散寒、疏通經絡、行氣活血、改善體質,達到治病防病的目的。可改善哮喘、鼻敏感、經常性感冒、慢性胃炎、婦女月經不調、宮寒不孕、手足冰冷、畏寒怕冷、關節風濕疼痛等症狀。一般來說,只要年滿三歲,年齡越小,治療效果越好,連續做三年,可減低虛寒性疾病復發的機會。
小安出院後接受了天灸療法,症狀得到大大改善,鼻敏感和哮喘甚少發作,也毋須隨身帶備吸入式藥物,身體也越來越強壯, 天使般的紅蘋果笑容再次出現,只不過每次來做針灸治療的時候,「一秒鐘變惡魔」的技術仍然十分純熟,使我每逢到了天灸的季節都會想起,印象十分深刻。
