益气活血法治疗中风的溯源与发展及新安医家的贡献

Tracing and Development of the Treatment of Stroke by Tonifying Qi and Promoting Blood Circulation and the Contribution of Xin′an Doctors

中风作为四大顽症之一,在《内经》首次提出后,便引起了历代医家的重视。以益气活血法为原则治疗中风,历来被认为是由清代医家王清任首次提出。但在近来研究中发现,益气活血法萌芽于《内经》,并未广泛运用于中风治疗。隋唐时期有医家提出从气血论治中风,明清时期新安医家进一步认为气虚血瘀为中风成因,并选用益气活血药物治疗中风,其认识要早于清代医家王清任。益气活血法其后继续发展,并在当代治疗中风时广泛运用。

As one of the four major stubborn diseases,stroke has attracted the attention of medical practitioners throughout history since it was first proposed in"the Neijing".The treatment of stroke based on the principle of tonifying Qi and promoting blood circulation has always been believed to have been first proposed by the Qing Dynasty physician Wang Qingren.However,recent research has found that the method of tonifying Qi and promoting blood circulation originated from"the Neijing"and has not been widely used in the treatment of stroke.During the Sui and Tang dynasties,some medical experts proposed to treat stroke based on the theory of Qi and blood.In the Ming and Qing dynasties,the Xin′an medical experts further believed that Qi deficiency and blood stasis were the causes of stroke,and chose to treat stroke with tonifying Qi and promoting blood circulation drugs,which was earlier than that of the Qing dynasty medical expert Wang Qingren.The method of tonifying Qi and promoting blood circulation continue to develop and is widely used in contemporary stroke treatment.
