Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis Based on "Dragon-Tiger Loop"
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a common disease of the respiratory system. The pathogenesis of tradi-tional Chinese medicine is always deficiency and excess, with lung Qi deficiency as the root and phlegm and blood sta-sis as the symptoms. Qi deficiency and blood stasis, phlegm and blood stasis clump together, causing paralysis and ob-struction of the lung collaterals. The "Dragon-Tiger Circle" relies on the liver's ascending and descending lungs and the mediating effect of the middle Qi. The left path ascends and the right path converges and descends. With the middle earth spleen and stomach as the pivot, the whole body's Qi circulates. If the liver and lung Qi rise and fall abnormally, If the central Qi fails to mediate and circulate, the lung lobes will lose moisture and nourishment, resulting in phlegm and blood stasis, which will eventually cause the lung lobes to become ineffective and useless. Therefore, based on the "dragon-tiger cycle" theory, when treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, attention should be paid to restoring the rise and fall of Qi, using methods such as regulating the liver and lungs, strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenish-ing qi and nourishing blood, and combining it with phlegm and blood stasis. , activating blood circulation and dredging collaterals, mediating with the rejuvenation of Qi, causing the liver to rise and the lungs to fall, causing Kanli to conjure and the dragon and tiger to turn around.
