Entering the dog days again, Guang'anmen Hospital's characteristic TCM treatment "Herbal acupoint application in the dog days" is about to begin. The specific schedule of the treatment will be announced in the near future, so stay tuned. If you miss it, you have to wait another year!

In the 1950s, many veteran TCM experts from Guang'anmen Hospital developed "Xiao Chuan Gao (antiasthmatic herbal paste)" (prevent and treat winter disease in summer" on the basis of collating the prescriptions of Qing Dynasty, and took the lead in applying this therapy on a large scale clinical treatment in China. In summer, it was applied to the acupoints on the back of patients to treat asthmatic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. More than sixty years of clinical practice has proved that this therapy has a relatively obvious and long-lasting anti-asthmatic effect.

Based on the effective treatment and relief of asthma by "Xiao Chuan Gao", the Departments of Rheumatology and ENT of Guang'anmen Hospital have expanded the scope of indications of "Xiao Chuan Gao" after long-term research. Through the application of different acupoints, this therapy is suitable for relieving rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis and other rheumatic diseases, and for the treatment of symptoms such as allergic rhinitis, weak constitution and recurrent common cold. 

In addition, the Departments of Pediatrics, Gynecology, and Preventive Health Care in our hospital have combined with the theory of "Treating Winter Disease in Summer" to apply special acupuncture for child, herbal paste to warm uterus for women, and special moxibustion for health care, giving full play to the treatment advantages of TCM and "warming" more patients. The International Medical Department of Guang'anmen Hospital also provides "Xiao Chuan Gao" therapy to asthma patients all over the world, making a contribution to the globalization of TCM.
