Abstract
|
Knee arthralgia is a common chronic degenerative disease in orthopedics,which is mainly characterized by joint pain,swelling and dysfunction. HUANG Yuanyu,a physician in Qing Dynasty,put forward the theory of “one qi circulation” in his Four Sacred Heart Source,emphasizing that the main reason for the disease is that the viscera and qi activities cannot circulate. This paper links the pathogenesis of damp-heat knee arthralgia with the thought of “one qi circulation”,and thinks that the root cause of this disease lies in “dampness blocking the liver qi in the middle soil”. It is proposed that “supporting the soil,drying dampness and helping the wood to release yang” is the treatment method for this disease. Classic prescriptions such as Huangya Decoction,Simiao Pill and Tianhun Decoction are often selected. |
