I've had a vast interest in TCM for many years but then the Western Medicine took over in the form of surgeries and lots of medication. It is only now almost a year after my last surgery that I am facing the fact that I no longer can take any antibiotics!
The last few times the doctors prescribed antibiotics I went into anaphylactic shock and let me tell you it is not nice!
Anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening reaction that can affect a number of organs at the same time. Allergic shock is caused by dilated and "leaky" blood vessels, which result in a drop in blood pressure.
Some or all of the following symptoms may occur:
- Hives or reddish discoloration of the skin
- Nasal congestion
- Swelling of the throat
- Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting
- Shortness of breath, wheezing
- Low blood pressure or shock
So to get myself back to health after a shocking flu season I am looking into TCM to see what I can take to get my immune system back to functioning properly.
