从调畅三焦气机论治慢性阻塞性肺疾病

Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by regulating and activating qi movement of sanjiao

慢性阻塞性肺疾病为呼吸系统常见病,病机为肺脾肾三脏虚损、痰瘀阻肺导致的气机逆乱。三焦通行诸气、为气的升降出入提供场所,以及疏利水液、布散血液的生理功能与慢阻肺关系密切。将三焦膜系管道理论与慢性阻塞性肺疾病特点相结合,审察三焦管道的入口、通路和出口,发现气机逆乱的原因所在,分别予以补益脏腑、化痰散瘀、驱散外邪的治疗,可以达到调畅三焦气机,治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病的目的。

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a common respiratory system disease.It is regarded as lung distention or dyspnea in traditional Chinese medicine.The pathogenesis of COPD is qi movement disturbance caused by the deficiency of lung,spleen,kidney,phlegm and blood stasis obstructing lung.The physiological functions of sanjiao include providing the venue for the ascending,descending,exiting and entering of qi,dredging and promoting water,distributing and dispersing blood.Sanjiao is thus believed to have a tight relationship with COPD.It is considered an effective way to cure the disease by putting“Sanjiao Film Piping Theory”into COPD’s treatment practice.The specific treatment processes can be described as first examining the entrance,passageway and exit of sanjiao piping,then finding the exact cause of reverse and turbulence of qi movement,and finally providing treatments such as invigorating zang-fu viscera,dissipating phlegm and resolving blood stasis and eliminating external pathogens.
