Study on the Application of Wind Drugs in Menstrual Diseases Based on the Theory of Sweat Pores for Regulating Reproductive Axis
Wind drugs have the characteristics of light rising,diverting and releasing,moving everywhere,which can open sweat pores in-side and outside the whole body.It is the most commonly used kind of drug to open sweat pores.Therefore,after identifying the etiology,location and degree of sweat pore occlusion in menstrual diseases,wind drugs can play a role in opening the reproductive axis sweat pore from multiple angles to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.For exogenous wind-cold type menstrual diseases,the method of dispelling wind to open sweat pores is adopted,and the commonly used drugs are Mahuang(Herba Ephedrae),Guizhi(Ramulus Cinnamomi),Jingjie(Herba Schizonepetae),Fangfeng(Radix Saposhnikoviae),Shengjiang(Rhizoma Zingiveris Recens),etc.For qi-stagnation type menstrual diseases,the method of regulating qi to open sweat pores is adopted,and the commonly used drugs are Chaihu(Radix Bupleu-ri),Zhiqiao(Fructus Aurantii),Qingpi(Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride),Xiangfu(Rhizoma Cyperi),Muxiang(Radix Aucklandi-ae),etc.For blood stasis type menstrual diseases,the method of activating blood circulation to open sweat pores is adopted,and the commonly used drugs are Guizhi(Ramulus Cinnamomi),Chuanxiong(Rhizoma Chuanxiong),Jingjie(Herba Schizonepetae),Cijili(Fructus Tribuli),Baizhi(Radix Angelicae Dahuricae),Xixin(Radix et Rhizoma Asari),Qianghuo(Radix et Rhizoma Notopterygii),Gegen(Radix Puerariae Lobatae),etc.For phlegm-dampness type menstrual diseases,the method of eliminate dampness to open sweat pores is adopted,and the commonly used drugs are Shengma(Rhizoma Cimicifugae),Gegen(Radix Puerariae Lobatae),Chaihu(Ra-dix Bupleuri),Qianghuo(Radix et Rhizoma Notopterygii),Duhuo(Radix Angelicae Pubescentis),etc.For sweat pore lesions of defi-ciency combined with excess type,the commonly used medicines are Qianghuo(Radix et Rhizoma Notopterygii),Duhuo(Radix Angeli-cae Pubescentis),Fangfeng(Radix Saposhnikoviae),Baizhi(Radix Angelicae Dahuricae),etc.Through the correct drug compatibility,the flexible use of wind drugs in menstrual diseases can promote the strength and avoid the weakness,and achieve good results.
