Abstract:
It is believed that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） Daoyin （conduction exercise） therapy has potential in treating diabetic foot， which is a concrete embodiment of HUANG Yuanyu's theory of one qi circulation applied in practice. Based on Daoyin therapy of Baduanjin and the Origin and Indicators of Disease （《诸病源候论》）， a Daoyin prescription for diabetic foot was compiled and created. Based on the zang-fu concept of "One Qi Circulation"， combined with the theory of chief， deputy， assistant and envoy， this article explained the theoretical basis and functional mechanism of the Daoyin prescription for diabetic foot. This Daoyin therapy is mainly based on the prone position movements， which includes seven movements， namely， pull-up， knee bending， toe tilting， phoenix nodding， internal rotation of taiji， two hands climbing feet and closing. With "phoenix nodding" and "tilting toes" as the chief， with the help of toes opening-closing and pointing-pressing momentum in prone position， regulating the central qi； with "bending the knee" and "internal rotation of taiji" as the deputy， knee and ankle flexion and extension can unblock the meridians of liver and lungs； with "pull-up" and "two hands climbing feet" as the assistant， on the one hand， assisting to unblock zang-fu organs， on the other hand， applying the yang of the foot taiyang bladder channel and du mai to warm the cold and dampness； with "closing" as the envoy to regulate all organs， so that the blood return to the natural flow of circulation. Diabetic foot Daoyin therapy could regulate internal organs and qi circulation of body， and provides a new idea for the treatment of diabetic foot.
