Abstract:
It is believed that the fundamental pathogenesis of the connective tissue diseases-associated interstitial lung disease （CTD-ILD） is kidney essence deficiency， with lung collateral obstruction throughout the disease， and environmental toxin pathogen is the important causative factors for the development of CTD-ILD. This article proposed to restore origin and alleviate bi （痹） for CTD-ILD， for which restoring origin means tonifying the lungs， spleen and kidneys to bank up the roots and consolidate the original qi， with modified Erxian Decoction （二仙汤） plus Liu Junzi Decoction （六君子汤）； alleviating bi means expelling wind and dredging collaterals， and eliminating the mass to restore the smoothness of the lung collaterals， with paired medicines of Chuanshanlong （Dioscorea nipponica）-Dilong （Kalanchoe pinnata）， Vinegar-processed Sanleng （Sparganium stoloniferum）-Vinegar-processed Ezhu （Curcuma zedoaria）， and stem-type medicines， and emphasized on removing the environmental toxin pathogens to facilitate the recovery of healthy qi.
