Theoretical exploration and clinical application of treating psoriasis based on the theory of cold-damp and qi stagnation
Psoriasis,also known as"white crust"in traditional Chinese medicine,is a kind of skin disease that is difficult to treat,with recurrent symptoms and lingering conditions.Though traditional Chinese medicine has a unique advantage in its treatment,it is found in clinic that some patients with a prolonged course,a poor emotional state and a higher recurrence when affected by cold,cannot always guarantee a satisfactory effect when treated with established methods such as clearing heat and cooling blood.On the basis of integrating the global syndrome differentiation and local syndrome differentiation,this study introduces the pathogeneses of cold-damp and qi stagnation to its syndrome differentiation,and treats it with the methods of warming yang to dispel cold,promoting diuresis to strengthen the spleen,which can usually achieve a satisfactory curative effect.This paper tries to analyze the ideas and two cases of the treatment of psoriasis based on differentiating the pathogeneses of cold-damp and qi stagnation,for reference and exchange.
