Abstract:
It is proposed that both "skin interior-membrane exterior" （the region between the skin and membranes） and "membrane-source" are objective parts of human body. Based on relevant ancient texts， interpretations by physicians， and clinical characteristics of diseases， we analysed the relationship between skin interior-membrane exterior and membrane-source， and proposed that skin interior-membrane exterior is essentially equivalent to membrane-source， with skin interior-membrane exterior offering a clearer expression of the meaning. The medicinal practices and prescriptions recorded in materia medica and classical formulas provide evidence to support that skin interior-membrane exterior is same as membrane-source. Based on the researches on their relationship， the formula groups for the treatment of membrane-source diseases developed， potentially expanding the clinical applications of membrane-source formulas and offering new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases in clinic.
