Traditional Chinese Medicine has become popular and is now being recognized as adjunct treatments for different conditions. There are Traditional Chinese Medicines that are now being widely-used for different diseases, like Qinghaosu for Malaria, which is more commonly known as Artemether. Alternative Chinese Methods, like acupressure, acupuncture, which both work on the principle of stimulating body points that are connected to certain body parts; and ventosa are also becoming the subjects of researches in hope of treating various conditions. But there is also a Chinese medicine for hemorrhoid treatment.
One of these Chinese medicines is Ma Ying Long, which comes in the form of an ointment. This medicine has been used in China for many years for haemorrhoids to treat the burning sensation, pain and itching associated with this condition. As one of the major principles in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ma Ying Long Ointment cleanses and eliminates toxins away from the body.
This ointment is believed to remove the heat from the body that causes the inflammation, removes dead cells and promote regeneration of cells. It acts like an antioxidant that fights off unwanted substances in the body, such as free radicals and medicinal metabolites, and promotes their excretion either through the urine, sweat or stool. Through the excretion of these unwanted substances, inflammation is reduced, thus relieving pain and swelling caused by hemorrhoids. This Chinese medicine is also believed to promote gastric motility, thus, relieving some of the pressure being exerted over the haemorrhoidal veins.
What are the components of Ma Ying Long? Most of the Chinese medicines make use of a mixture of herbs that have different properties, which are believed to have beneficial effects to the body. The Ma Ying Long ointment is composed of two types of ingredients, the active and the inactive ones. Among the active ingredients are Calamine and Pearl, while the inactive ingredients include Vaseline and Lamoline. These herbs have moisturizing and astringent properties that contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of the ointment.
Just like all the other ointments, Ma Ying Long ointment is applied externally to the affected area twice a day, one in the morning and the other in the evening before you go to sleep. Make sure that you have rinsed the affected area with warm water before applying the ointment. The package also comes with an applicator or a syringe, which is used in internal types of haemorrhoids. If the haemorrhoids are internally located, lubricate the applicator with the ointment and attach the applicator on the top of the ointment tube. Gently insert the tip of the applicator and squeeze the tube to push the ointment internally. Discard the applicator after use. This can also be used if you have bloody stools. Just follow the application for internal haemorrhoids, but this time, apply 2 grams of ointment.
Ma Ying Long ointment should be used with caution among pregnant women and children. The use of this medicine might be contraindicated for certain conditions and concurrent administration of other Traditional Chinese Medicine or medicines can alter the absorption, distribution and elimination of the drug. It is always better to read the package first before using it to avoid any health problems in the future. The use of a Chinese medicine for hemorrhoid treatment is a great leap in pharmacology because this provides more ways on how to prevent and treat different diseases, especially now that there are a lot of emerging diseases that don’t have cure yet. This gives hope to pharmacology and mankind that cure and health is still in the hands of the people.
