Based on the extensive collection of ancient literature related to sneezing,this paper analyzes the physiological and pathological phenomena of sneezing by using the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,and probes into the significance of passive sneezing into artificial active sneezing,and reveals the mechanism of sneezing in traditional Chinese medicine combined with the treatment of diseases and syndromes,that is,sneezing is generally a sign of Yang Qi changing from depression to smoothness and is a manifestation of positive Qi resisting evil or positive Qi overcoming evil.Artificial sneezing can stimulate the Yang Qi of the human body,disperse and descend lung Qi,dredge Qi movement,and resist external evils.Its specific functions are reflected in eleven aspects,namely,prevention before disease onset,resuscitation and awakening,lifting Yang Qi,descending Qi and arresting adverse Qi,opening up the upper and lower parts,opening the skin pores,dredging Qi movement,dredging collaterals and relieving pain,supporting toxin and expelling pus,bone-setting reduction,and excluding foreign bodies.Compared with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies,this paper believes that sneezing has the advantages of simplicity,convenience,low cost,and good effect.It plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases and human health care and is worthy of in-depth research and application.
