李浩教授运用"虚气留滞"理论辨治汗证OA

Sweating syndrome is a common clinical disorder.Modern medical treatment is limited by inadequate therapies and adverse effects.In contrast,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment,demonstrating unique advantages.Based on years of clinical practice,Professor LI Hao proposes that"qi deficiency and stagnation"is the core pathogenesis of sweating syndrome.Specifically,"deficiency"is the root of sweating,covering qi,blood,yin,and yang deficiency,nutrient-defense disharmony,defensive qi deficiency,and body fluid consumption."Stagnation"is the branch resulting from the accumulation of pathological products,including qi stagnation,phlegm coagulation,dampness,and blood stasis,in interstices and meridians.Accordingly,in adherence to pathogenesis,treatment follows the principle"regulating balance and eliminating stagnated pathogen"in the Plain Questions.Deficiency is tonified by replenishing qi and nourishing blood,harmonizing yin and yang,as well as strengthening the exterior and arresting sweat.Stagnation is resolved by dispelling phlegm and eliminating turbidity,clearing heat and removing dampness,activating blood and resolving stasis,and harmonizing the pivot.In clinical practice,medication is modified according to syndromes and symptoms,adept at Astragali Radix and Atractylodis Rhizoma of large dosages to strengthen the exterior and spleen while protecting stomach qi.A typical case is attached for validation.
