DiscussingThe Diagnosis And Treatment of Alopecia Areata Based On"The Unity of Form,Qi And Spirit"
The unity of form,qi and spirit is the embodiment of the holistic view of Chinese medicine and the unique cogni-tive system of Chinese medicine that explores the human body on three levels:material form,energy function and spiritual think-ing.As a common clinical disease of the mind and body,the occurrence of alopecia areata,from the perspective of form,qi and spirit,is related to morphological and qualitative pathologies,qi-chemical abnormalities,and abnormalities of the spirit.The most prominent external manifestation of alopecia areata is"morphological lesions".Hair loss or hair damage in the hair area can be attributed to different degrees of"morphological lesions",and the microscopic basis of these"morphological lesions"is the pathological manifestation of the Xuan Fu,so"Xuan Fu morphological lesions"are the basis for the occurrence of alopecia areata."Qi-transformation disorders"are the central link in the occurrence of alopecia areata,including the deficiency and failure of the internal organs and Qi disorders in the human body.The abnormality of the mind is known as"Shen bu Shi",and it is present throughout the disease.It is a key factor in the development of alopecia areata.Therefore,the development of alopecia areata is mostly due to the structural dysfunction of the three levels of form,qi and spirit.In this paper,we propose the treatment principles of restoring the shape in an urgent manner,treating the qi in a slow manner,and regulating the spirit in a unified manner,in or-der to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of this disease.
