He Xuehong's Experience of Treating Chronic Renal Failure with Ginseng and Astragalus Turbidity-Resolving Beverage
Professor He Xuehong believes that the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic renal failure(CRF)are characterized by spleen and kidney deficiency,with multiple organs involved;the internal stagnation of dampness and turbidity,obstructing the flow of qi move-ment;the accumulation of uremic toxins leading to blood stasis and blockage of blood vessels;and the overflow of internal toxins exacer-bating the condition.Professor He's treatment focuses on resolving turbidity and tonifying deficiency,with an emphasis on treating acute symptoms promptly and addressing the root cause in chronic stages.The treatment principles involve restoring qi transformation,promo-ting fluid transformation,clearing dampness,eliminating turbidity toxins,and activating blood circulation.In the early stage of CRF,the focus is on tonifying the kidney and invigorating the spleen,promoting blood circulation,and removing dampness.In the later stages,symptoms become more complex,but the core pathology remains unchanged,so Ginseng and Astragalus Turbidity-Resolving Beverage is used to tonify the spleen and kidney,resolve stasis,eliminate toxins,promote smooth bowel movement,nourish deficiency and purge ex-cess.For severe qi deficiency,Huangqi(Radix Scutellariae)is heavily used,and Dangshen(Radix Codonopsis)is added to strengthen qi and support the foundation.For severe yin deficiency,Shanyao(Rhizoma Dioscoreae)is heavily used,and Double Supreme Pill is added to nourish yin and tonify the kidney.For severe yang deficiency,Shanyurou(Fructus Corni)is heavily used,Tusizi(Semen Cus-cutae)and Buguzhi(Fructus Psoraleae)are added to tonify the kidney and support yang.For excessive dampness,Sharen(Fructus Am-omi),Huoxiang(Herba PogoStemonis)and Peilan(Herba Eupatorii)can be used in higher doses to promote the aromatic transforma-tion of dampness.Additionally,Professor He advocates complementary external therapies such as Dahuang(Radix et Rhizoma Rhei)en-ema to clear turbidity,medicinal baths to induce sweating and expel toxins,and herbal poultices applied to the navel to expel toxins.
