Chinese Herbal Ointment Massage Combined with Moxibustion in the Treatment of a Patient with Chronic Renal Failure Edema: A Nursing Experience
Edema is one of the common symptoms in patients with chronic renal failure. This article summarizes the nursing experience of a case treated with Chinese herbal ointment massage for edema. Based on nursing assessment and syndrome differentiation, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) external therapies such as herbal ointment massage were applied to regulate the patient’s physiological functions, effectively improving edema symptoms. Additionally, tailored nursing interventions—including lifestyle guidance, medication instruction, dietary advice, and emotional counseling—were implemented to alleviate discomfort and reduce suffering. The treatment demonstrated significant efficacy, providing valuable clinical nursing insights.
