Abstract:
The occurrence and development of laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR)are closely related to the changes in the qi movement of the spleen,stomach,liver and lungs.The authors believed that"earth stagnation and wood depression"is the key to the onset of LPR.Based on this,the disease could be treated in three stages.In the early stage,the main symptoms are spleen clearing but not rising,difficulty in reducing gastric turbidity and abnormal rise and fall.Treatment should focus on regulating the spleen and stomach,promoting clearing and reducing turbidity,and commonly using modified Liujunzi Decoction;at the beginning of the middle stage,the main symptoms are earth stagnation,stagnation of qi and reflux of the throat.The treatment is suitable for using herbs clearing wood and promoting earth,regulating qi movement,and commonly using Sini Powder combined with modified Banxia Houpo Decoction or Chaihu Shugan Powder;at the end of the middle stage,the main treatment methods are wood stagnation turning into fire,horizontal rebellion invading the earth and upper inflammation punishing the metal.The treatment is suitable for using herbs acid in flavour for dispersing and herbs bitter in flavour foe descending,clearing the liver and stomach,and commonly using modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction and Zuojin Pills;in the later stage,the main symptoms are spleen and stomach deficiency,failure of earth to produce gold and failure of gold to break through without making a sound.The treatment is suitable for using herbs cultivating earth to produce gold,nourishing the throat and benefiting the throat,and commonly using modified Maimendong Decoction or Shenling Baizhu Powder,in order to provide theoretical basis for the treatment of LPR with TCM,broaden the thinking of diagnosis and treatment,and better improve clinical efficacy.
