Abstract:
Through the dismantlement,analysis,and sorting of the method of clearing collaterals and nourishing yin in the differentiation of syndromes in Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Tang,a renowned physician of the Qing Dynasty.This article concluded that WU Tang's clinical application of clearing collaterals can be divided into clearing the qi collateral heat,clearing the blood collateral stasis,and clearing collateral stagnant heat.The yin-nourishing method specifically includes the sweet-cold fluid-restoring,sour-sweet yin-generating,sweet-bitter yin qi-nourishing,sweet-moistening fluid-preserving,heat-clearing fluid-protecting,and emergency purgative yin-preserving methods.Our team explored the application of this approach in tumor treatment based on the academic perspective of"strengthening healthy qi to treat cancer"and in combination with the"clearing collaterals and nourishing yin"method.It proposes that within the relationship between"strengthening healthy qi to treat cancer"and the"clearing collaterals and nourishing yin"method,"nourishing yin to strengthen healthy qi"often serves as the foundation of tumor treatment,whereas"clearing collaterals to eliminate pathogens"acts as an auxiliary measure.This paper summarizes our team's clinical experience and evidence in further treating cancerous diseases based on this theory,citing examples such as Qinghao Biejia Decoction,Xijiao Dihuang Decoction,Zhibai Dihuang Pill,our team's empirical formulas,and the specialized use of medications for cancerous diseases.The further application of this method in cancer diseases can be expanded to improve the clinical effect by summarizing the theory of"strengthening healthy qi to treat cancer"and improving the understanding of clearing collaterals and nourishing yin.
