The Guidance of the Theory of Latent-Wind in Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Pediatric Allergic Diseases
It is proposed that the constitutional characteristic of children with special constitutions is the presence of latent-wind.When these children are affected by external"deficient evil wind",conditions such as allergic rhinitis,wind cough,asthma,wind rash,and eczema may occur,all of which are classified as"wind diseases"allergic diseases).The treatment for these wind dis-eases should primarily focus on the method of dispelling wind,supplemented with syndrome differentiation to incorporate treatment ap-proaches such as dispersing pathogenic factors,eliminating dampness,moistening dryness,resolving phlegm,cooling the blood,nour-ishing the blood,and reinforcing the exterior.This paper introduces how to understand the etiology and pathogenesis,as well as clini-cal differentiation of allergic diseases in children,such as allergic rhinitis,wind cough,asthma,wind rash,and eczema,through the lens of the theory of latent-wind.It also presents effective experiences and formulas for treating these diseases primarily using the meth-od of dispelling wind.
