Abstract:
The statements of sneeze-inducing nasal application therapy recorded in the ancient traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)books were sorted out and analyzed.The sneeze-inducing nasal application therapy is one of the external treatment methods of TCM.The therapy can heal the disease through dredging orifices and inducing sneeze with Chinese medicine acting on the nasal cavity.The therapeutic TCM mechanism of sneeze-inducing nasal application therapy is related with the nose which is one of the channels for expelling the pathogenic qi,and the sneeze-inducing mechanism of the therapy is similar to emetic method,and both of them have the actions of unblocking the stagnation,driving out pathogens,elevating qi,and releasing muscles.In the ancient TCM books,the sneeze-inducing nasal application therapy is most commonly used for the treatment of acute diseases such as trismus,unconsciousness,stroke and sudden death.Secondly,the therapy is indicated for the medical diseases,the diseases of obstetrics and gynecology,pediatrics,ophthalmology,and rhinolaryngology,and infectious diseases such as headache,jaundice,uterus-prolapse parturition(i.e.,prolapse or uterus during childbirth),fetal transfer(i.e.,malposition of fetus),infantile convulsion,nasosinusitis,ocular pannus,and plague.Commonly-used drugs for neeze-inducing nasal application therapy include Gleditsiae Fructus,Phaseoli Semen,Centipedae Herba,Pedicellus Melo,Pinelliae Rhizoma,Asari Radix et Rhizoma,Moschus,Piperis Longi Fructus,Veratri Nigri Radix et Rhizoma,Ricini Semen,Chuanxiong Rhizoma,and Raphani Semen.The investigation on the statements of sneeze-inducing nasal application therapy recorded in the ancient TCM books will provide reference for the modern clinical application of the therapy.
