史纪教授从肺论治小儿便秘经验

Professor Shi Ji's experience in treating children with constipation based on lung theory

便秘是儿科临床常见病,全国老中医药专家史纪教授临证从"肺与大肠相表里"和"提壶揭盖"理论出发,认为治疗便秘虽多责之大肠传导失司,但与肺脏甚为密切:肺与大肠相表里,肺热移于大肠,大肠传导失常;肺为水之上源,肺气郁闭,宣肃失常,水液代谢失常,津液不得疏布,以致大肠气机不畅,津液干涸,形成便秘。因此临床采用从肺论治,取得满意疗效。

Constipation is a clinical disease in children.Base on the theory of ＂lung and large intestine are the exterior and interior＂,Prof.Shi Ji,a famous expert of traditional Chinese medicine,thinks that constipation is closely related to lung despite the fact that it is often due to dysfunction of large intestine.Lung and large intestine are the exterior and the interior;the heat of lung is transferred to large intestine,resulting in dysfunction of large intestine;lung is the upper source of water,and because of the closure of lungqi,there is abnormal liquid metabolism,causing driness of liquid,hence constipation.Therefore,the clinical treatment should be based on lung theory in order to achieve satisfactory effects.
