总结李士懋教授以养阴祛湿法治疗湿证经验。传统观点认为养阴之品多滋腻助湿,难以用于湿证的治疗。在"湿盛则燥"学术观点指导下,提出苦燥淡渗治湿邪之常、养阴祛湿疗湿邪之变,养阴祛湿不得滥用、辨证详准确保全功等主张,临证通过养阴与祛湿同用的方法治疗湿证可收良效。

This article summarizes Professor LI Shimao＇ s experience in treating dampness syndrome with the method of nourishing Yin and dispelling dampness. It is conventionally thought that Yin-nourishing herbs are too greasy and dampness-promoting to treat dampness syndrome. However,under the guidance of the academic view of＂excessive dampness resulting in dryness＂,LI Shimao suggested that bitter-dry and bland herbs could treat the regular syndromes of dampness,while Yin-nourishing and dampness-dispelling herbs could treat the transmuted syndromes of dampness. He also raised that physicians should not abuse the method of nourishing Yin and dispelling dampness and should differentiate the syndrome precisely. In clinic,treating dampness syndrome with both nourishing Yin and dispelling dampness could be quite beneficial.
