李生财基于"亢害承制"理论辨治胃食管反流病经验OA

The theory of"restraining excessiveness to acquire harmony"documented in the Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor is based on the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements,believing that the human body follows the principle of"excessiveness causing harm,while restraint bring harmony"so that the five organs can stay on their own tracks.Everything in the nature possesses the same property as yin,yang and the five elements.If they lose their regularity,counteractions may work to restore their normal balance.Based on this theory and combined with the clinical manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD),Li Shengcai maintains that its core pathogenesis features the intermingling of deficiency,depression and collateral damage.He holds that its treatment should focus on tonifying the middle jiao and restoring its harmony,taking into account the functions of other organs as well.He attaches attention to alleviating the patients'discomfort.It is expected that this paper may provide a reference for the clinical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
