Abstract:
To summarize LI Qiangou's clinical experience in treating laryngopharyngeal reflux disease （LPRD） based on the theory of "yang transforming qi while yin constituting form". It is believed that "insufficiency of yang transforming qi and excess of yin constituting form" is the key mechanism of LPRD， in which yang deficiency of the lungs， spleen and kidneys is an important factor causing "insufficiency of yang transforming qi"， while phlegm， dampness and other tangible yin turbidities are the pathological products of "excess of yin constituting form". The key treatment principle is to reinforce yang qi and dispel yin turbidity. Starting from regulating the qi transformation of the sanjiao， the treatment is based on the different pathologies of lung yang insufficiency and phlegm congestion in the upper jiao， spleen yang failing to ascend and dampness accumulation in the middle jiao， and kidney yang deficiency and phlegm-fluid retention in the lower jiao， prescribed by modified Suzi Jiangqi Decoction （苏子降气汤）， Shengyang Chushi Decoction （升阳除湿汤）， and Jingui Shenqi Pill （金匮肾气丸）， the prescriptions could also combine with Banxia Houpo Decoction （半夏厚朴汤） to dissolve phlegm and relieve pharyngeal pains， and regulate qi to direct counterflow downward.
