Abstract:
This paper summarized Professor YE Jianzhou's experience in treating atopic dermatitis （AD） in children with the method of regulating the heart and treating the spirit. According to the clinical manifestations of itching-sleep psychological disorders in children with AD， and the physiological characteristics of "heart qi is prone to hyperactivity" and "liver qi is prone to hyperactivity" in children， it is believed that heart and spirit disharmony is an important pathogenesis of AD in children.From the concept of holism in traditional Chinese medicine， the principle of regulating the heart and treating the spirit has been proposed for treatment of AD in children， which is based on the theory of "the five zang （脏） organs store the spirit". In the acute stage， it is recommended to clear the heart， drain fire and calm the spirit with self-made Qingxin Ningshen Decoction （清心宁神汤） in modifications. In the chronic stage， the method of nourishing the heart， unblocking the meridians and calming the spirit is recommended， by using self-made Yangxin Anshen Decoction （养心安神汤） with modifications. The method to tranquilize the heart， subdue yang and contain the spirit should be implemented throughout the entire treatment， and yang-subduing and spirit-containing medicinals such as Duanlonggu （Os Draconis Praeparatum）， Duanmuli （Concha Ostreae Praeparatum） and Zhenzhumu （Concha Margaritiferae Usta） are usually used to treat the body and the spirit simultaneously. All these are offered to provide new ideas for the individualized treatment of children with AD.
