Abstract:
It has been proposed by Basic Questions On Proper Therapies for Different Diseases Geographically （《素问·异法方宜论篇》） that "wei （痿） diseases should be treated by Daoyin （导引）". Furthermore， it is clarified that the indications of Daoyin are those conditions related to spleen and dampness caused by dampness pathogen， excessive food intake and less exercise， and mainly manifested as heavy limbs， fatigue and flaccidity， which is similar to the metabolic imbalance in the early stage of glucose or lipid metabolism disorder in modern medicine. Based on modern clinical and basic research evidence， Daoyin can inhibit the response of inflammation， alleviate oxidative stress， regulate intestinal microbiota， and modulate gene expression to improve metabolic abnormalities， and this will provide ideas for researches on the indications of Daoyin.
