Paralysis is a disease caused by external wind,cold,dampness,heat and other evils that block the meridians and cause soreness,heaviness,pain and numbness in the limbs,meridians,joints and tendons of the body.In the Xin'an medical journal,there are many treatises on paralysis,and there are abundant treatises.Liu jian,a famous Chinese medicine doctor,proposed the idea of"removing paralysis"on the basis of Xin'an medicine.Liu jian believed that paralysis should be eliminated by"strengthening the spleen",mentioning the theory of"spleen deficiency causes paralysis""strengthening the spleen to transform dampness""nourishing the spleen to nourish blood"and"treating paralysis from the spleen".In the area of removing paralysis by"clearing the ligaments",we follow the theory of"removing evil and clearing the ligaments"to remove paralysis,"benefiting Qi and clearing the ligaments"to remove paralysis,and"removing blood stasis and clearing the ligaments"to remove paralysis.When removing paralysis by"supporting the righteous",we should benefit the Qi and nourish the blood,regulate the meridians and veins,regulate the liver and kidney,nourish the Yin and soothe the meridians,consolidate the root and support the righteousness,and open the tendons and activate the collaterals."Expelling evil"removing paralysis reflects the characteristics of relieving exterior and dispelling evil,especially emphasizing cold and dampness,dispelling wind and dampness,good at clearing heat,treating paralysis and dispelling phlegm,skillful in modification,promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals,and wonderful medication.The clinical results have been very fruitful.This study is to analyze Liu jian's thought of"treating paralysis"under the guidance of Xin'an medicine,in order to guide the application of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat rheumatism in clinic.
