Abstract:
The symptoms of allergic diseases are complex and changeable, and the pathogenesis is complex and difficult to distinguish, and the prevalence of allergic diseases has gradually increased in recent years. Due to the relative limitations of Western medical treatment, in order to further meet the clinical treatment goals, the "lung being responsible for regulating visceral activities" is now used as the theoretical basis, combined with modern medicine, to explore the pathogenesis and etiological mechanism of this disease. Based on the classics, it is proposed that allergic diseases have four characteristics: "onset of allergies, seasonality of disease onset, diversity of symptoms, and recurrence of recovery", and summarized the etiology and pathogenesis as "stagnation of incubative pathogenic factors and disharmony between the nutritive and defensive levels, imbalance of waterways and obstruction of phlegm and dampness, a dysfunction in the pivotal qi flow leading to malnourishment of the skin and hair, the intermingling of cold and heat leads to the dysfunction of the orifices, a disorder of the blood-governing organs leads to extravasation of blood", and advocated that the treatment should take into account the symptoms, syndromes, viscera, and seasons, and clarify the syndromes, which would provide a new research idea for the exploration of the TCM connotation of this disease.
