Abstract:
This article summarized the clinical experience of national TCM master Zhang Zhen in treating gastroesophageal reflux cough by applying the theory of"dredging and regulating qi".Professor Zhang Zhen believes that the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux cough lies in the abnormal ascending and descending of qi movement in the viscera.Specifically,it is manifested as weakness of the spleen and stomach,dysfunction of the pivot mechanism,failure of the liver to dredge and disperse,failure of the lung qi to descend,insufficiency of kidney yang,and failure of the kidney to receive qi.Clinically,the treatment method of dredging and regulating qi is adopted,and the Shutiao Decoction is used as the basic prescription.The disease is treated from three aspects,namely strengthening and regulating the spleen and stomach,soothing the liver and purifying the lung,and tonifying the kidney and helping it receive qi.The regulation of the qi movement of the whole body is organically combined with that of the local areas to jointly smooth the operation of the qi movement throughout the body.It is hoped that this can provide references and ideas for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux cough in TCM.
