运用《黄帝内经》意象思维论治便秘

Thought of Huangdi Neijing Treating Constipation

意象思维是《黄帝内经》极其重要的思维模式,贯穿于养生、藏象、诊法、刺法等领域。运用意象思维,将人体的肠道比类为自然界中的河道,将排泄的粪便比类为行进中的舟船,将肠道的津液比类为河道里的河水,将中气的推动、肺气的肃降、胃气的降浊比类为河道中的风力,据此拟出开通河道、补充河水、增强风力等方法论治便秘,以期拓展临床医生的临证思维,指导临床辨治便秘。

The visualization thought is a very important thought pattern in Huangdi Neijing,which applies to lots of medical fields,such as the health care,visceral manifestation,diagnosis,acupuncture,etc.Applying the visualization thought pattern,we compare the large intestine to the river,compare the faeces to the boat,compare the intestine juices to the water,compare the push effect of Zongqi,descending of lung qi and excreting the waste of stomach qi to the wind.According to the rule,we can treat the constipation from four aspects：dredging the river,replenishing the water and enhancing the strength of wind,which can expand the clinical thought for physicians and make some guiding function in treating constipation.
