Abstract:
Based on the viewpoints of turbidity and toxin and years of clinical experience,professor Wei Aisheng proposed that spleen qi deficiency leading to internal retention of turbidity and toxin contributes to the key pathogenesis of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)characterized by obesity or metabolic disorders.For T2DM patients with obesity or metabolic disorders in the middle and end stages,long-term retention of turbidity and toxin leads to unsmooth qi movement of triple energizer and damage of viscera.Therefore,Professor Wei put forward the viewpoint of cutting off the toxin in the early stage,and established the therapy of replenishing qi,respectively expelling pathogens and eliminating turbidity from triple energizer.Professor Wei formulated Sanhuang Yinchen Wuling San as the primary prescription for T2DM.The prescription is derived from the classical formula Yinchen Wuling San with the herbs of Astragali Radix,Coptidis Rhizoma and Ephedrae Herba added,having the actions of replenishing qi and supporting healthy qi,respectively expelling pathogens from triple-energizer to resolve phlegm-damp and stagnated heat.The application of Sanhuang Yinchen Wuling San for T2DM can invigorate spleen qi,smooth qi movement of triple energizer,and eliminate turbidity and toxin,and enhance the efficacy for T2DM.
