| Abstract
|
| This paper studied the mechanism of menstruation in Chinese medicine. The author advanced the theory that menstrual physiology was relied on the Qihua(Qi activity for transformation of material) of kidney. The functions and affection among Kidney-Qi,Tiangui,and Tai-Chong vessel(penetrating vessels of one branch in legs) in menstrual physiology was discussed. In brief,Tiangui,as one compo-nent of primordial Qi in life-gate,arrived to the uterus through kidney channel. Both Tai-Chong vessel and kidney meridian share the same pathway. The Qi in Tai-Chong vessel supplied by Tiangui went downwards through kidney meridian,meanwhile,Qi in kidney meridian moved upwards. Because the opposite Qi movement the force was created for blood-Qi penetrating into collaterals and muscle,in another hand,Kidney was connected with Heart,Liver,Spleen and Lung through Kidney meridian,so Blood-Qi in Chong vessel could nourish organs inside and muscle,joints outside. The circulated Blood and Qi movement in order with upward,downward,outward and inward brought about regular period bleeding by the function of Kidney on storing and releasing alternatively. Clinically,it was important for regulating Qi movement in treating gynaecological diseases. For the cases of deficiency of Chong-Qi Kidney Qi would be strengthen;However,for excess syndrome with disorder of Chong-Qi movement liver would be regulated. |
