Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis based on the theory of"treating yang disease by regulating yin"
Ankylosing spondylitis(AS)is a chronic inflammatory bone disease with high rates of disability and deformity,which is often disregarded because of its early nonspecific symptoms,such as the lumbar and back pain and stiffness."Treating yang disease by regulating yin"is one of the cures for the imbalance of yin and yang.Professor LU Min believes that AS often involves weakness in the Du meridian and deficiency in the kidney,leading to the internal formation of yin pathogenic factors.These factors entangle the yang of the Du meridian,resulting in yang failing to check yin,thus causing an imbalance between yin and yang.Hence,the disease often involves cold,static blood,phlegm,and dampness,which are yin excess pathogens.In terms of therapeutic principles and methods,when the excessive manifestations are predominant,the focus is on eliminating yin pathogenic factors;when the deficient root prevails,the focus is on strengthening the Du meridian and tonifying the kidney;and specific treatments are simultaneously selected to dispel cold,resolve blood stasis,eliminate phlegm,or remove dampness according to pattern identification,aiming to dissipate the yin toxicity.This approach often yields good results in clinical practice,and it,which restores the normal function of the Du meridian and resuscitates yang by dissipating yin pathogenic factors,embodies the principle of"treating yang disease by regulating yin".A verified medical record is provided for reference.
