| Abstract
|
| The incidence of severe asthma is not high,accounting for about 10% of asthma patients,but it has a serious impact on patients' quality of life and is often difficult to treat effectively. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of severe asthma is related to yang deficiency and yin excess. Traditional Chinese medicine has certain advantages in the treatment of severe asthma. It can regulate the balance of yang and yin in the human body,enhance the body's immune function,reduce the frequency of asthma attacks,and alleviate the severity of attacks. Explaining the etiology,pathogenesis,and treatment of severe asthma from the perspective of the theory of "yin excess and yang deficiency" in Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor enriches the traditional Chinese medicine theory of severe asthma. "Yin excess and yang deficiency" is the fundamental pathogenic mechanism of severe asthma. "Yang deficiency" affects the normal function of organs and disrupts the water and fluid metabolism,leading to endogenous phlegm accumulation and forming the long-standing root of "yin excess". This results in recurrent and prolonged attacks of severe asthma. In treatment,the general principle is to balance yin and yang. Grasp the organs involved in deficiency,seek yang from yin,and give consideration to relieving asthma and resolving phlegm. Treating severe asthma from the perspective of "yin excess and yang deficiency" in Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor had shown promising results,providing ideas for the treatment of severe asthma with traditional Chinese medicine. |
