Abstract:
Objective To examine of Ye Tianshi's approach to managing internal wind through herbal remedies.Methods A comprehensive search was conducted for medical cases pertaining to internal wind,liver wind,dizziness,head wind,deficiency labor,liver fire,insomnia,convulsions,epilepsy,and headache within the Clinical Guidelines in Medical Cases.Statistical analysis of symptom elements,target locations of symptom elements,frequency of Chinese medicinal substances,their properties,and meridian affiliations was performed using Excel.Prescription patterns were further analyzed through association rules and high-frequency drug clustering.Results The study included a total of 167 medical cases,from which 241 symptom elements and 333 target locations were extracted.A total of 183 prescriptions were analyzed,comprising 132 medicinal substances with an overall frequency of 1309 occurrences.The five most frequently used Chinese medicines were Sheng Di Huang,Fu Shen,E Jiao,Fu Ling,and Shu Di Huang.The predominant property observed was cold,followed by warm and neutral;the most common flavor was sweet,succeeded by bitter and warm.The leading meridian affiliations identified were liver,kidney,lung,heart,and spleen.The drug association rule analysis revealed 14 items,while high-frequency drug clustering resulted in 9 distinct categories.Conclusion Ye Tianshi's therapeutic approach to internal wind emphasizes the concept of"yang transforming into internal wind."The core principles of this treatment strategy involve nourishing bodily fluids to mitigate wind,addressing excess conditions in the upper body while rectifying deficiencies in the lower body,and promoting tranquility in the liver and stomach.Additionally,the use of pungent and sweet flavors is employed to facilitate the transformation of wind,to clear the liver and dispel heat,to eliminate wind and resolve phlegm,to tonify qi and enhance defensive qi,and to clear heat in order to soothe the spirit.This methodology seeks to achieve harmony among the organs and meridians while pacifying internal wind.
