Abstract:
This study summarized Professor Su Peiji's clinical experience in differenting and treating lumbago and leg pain.He contends that the disease involves the liver and kidney,manifesting as a syndrome of deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality,with liver-kidney deficiency and insufficiency of essence and blood as the root cause,and exogenous wind,cold,and dampness invading the meridians and then causing obstruction as the superficial manifestation.The principal pathological factors include wind,cold,dampness,blood stasis,and deficiency.In clinical practice,he follows the therapeutic principle of expelling pathogens and supporting healthy qi in accordance with the abundance or deficiency of pathogens and healthy qi,takes the therapy of tonifying the liver and kidney as the primary approach,and applies the adjuvant therapies of dispelling wind,cold,and dampness as well as relaxing tendons and activating collaterals.By incorporating the theory of collateral diseases,Professor Su Peiji proposes that the deficiency-excess of collateral diseases is closely related to the onset of lumbago and leg pain.His therapeutic approach centers around Shuji Formula,a self-formulated formula which is composed of Taxilli Herba,Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix,Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix,Angelicae Pubescentis Radix,Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma,Aconiti Radix Cocta,Flemingiae Radix et Caulis,Millettiae Speciosae Radix,Poria,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Chuanxiong Rhizoma,Spatholobi Caulis,Tinosporae sinensis Caulis,and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle.Modified use of herbs was performed according to the predominance of wind,cold,dampness,blood stasis,or deficiency,so as to achieve the effects of tonifying the liver and kidney,strengthening bones and tendons,dispelling wind,cold and dampness,and relaxing tendons and activating collaterals.
