蜂窩性組織炎屬於傳統中醫「癰疽腫毒」的範疇,發病時局部組織將出現炎性反應,是一種皮膚的深部感染現象,症狀輕微時容易被忽略,嚴重可能導致敗血症。蜂窩性組織炎是一種皮膚組織的深部感染,人體皮膚的皮下脂肪層猶如蜂窩狀的組織,若此部位受到感染,則名之為「蜂窩性組織炎」。發生的原因主要是由於細菌感染,常見有鏈球菌、葡萄球菌、大腸菌、嗜血菌等,其感染的途徑大都來自於傷口,如外傷、拔智齒、香港腳等,細菌由傷口進入人體後,並在組織空隙內生長分佈釋放毒素,若人體的整體免疫系統低下,就會造成傷口發炎的嚴重現象。但在臨床的事實上,也不一定有傷口才會感染,身體其他部位若遭受細菌感染亦有可能形成「蜂窩性組織炎」,包括糖尿病患者、痛風患者、老年人、肝功能受損、免疫力較差或使用免疫抑制劑者、嬰兒、營養不良等。【梔子柏皮湯加減】是天然抗生素無抗藥性可以使用來治療蜂窩性組織炎,【梔子柏皮湯加減】可清熱燥濕、瀉火、解毒、涼血等。對下肢和臉部組織細胞的急性發炎,或病毒、細菌、微生物引起的組織感染,都有非常良好的消炎、修護與強化免疫功能T、B細胞、增強組織的功能。可有效的解決「蜂窩性組織炎」。中藥「抗生素」的救星,更具有重大的意義和潛力, 確是值得醫務工作者廣為重視與運用,若此,將會有深得我心之妙趣。
