Abstract:
The early symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)are insidious,and its occurrence and development are a gradual accumulation of pathogenic factors.Clinically,it exhibits symptoms of yang deficiency and yin injury,and its pathogenic characteristics are consistent with the insidious,accumulative and injury positive characteristics of the latent cold."Latent cold"runs through the entire course of COPD.Qi-yang deficiency is the basis for the production of latent cold,external cold triggers the onset of latent cold and the cohesion of latent cold is the key to its onset.The clinical practice advocates for staged treatment based on clinical manifestations and the characteristics of changes in latent cold.During the acute phase of the attack,external cold invasion occurs and there is excessive movement due to the presence of cold.Treatment is based on warming and promoting the spread of pathogenic factors;during chronic stable period,warming and supplementing qi yang should be adopted;during the gradual aggravation period,the patients are prone to prolong chilliness and stagnation with phlegm and blood stasis forming.The treatment is based on a combination of warming and cooling.
