Exploring thetheory and ideas of treating allergic asthma from dampness
This article mainly focuses on explaining the basic of theory of"dampness cause asthma"in the treatment of al-lergic asthma.Patients with allergic asthma often live in wetlands for a long time,and repeatedly inhale or contact with dust mites,fungi and other wet allergens.External dampness carring wind,cold,heat and other external pathogens invades the body through the skin,mouth or nose and becomes a trigger of the cause of disease.For those with special innate constitutions,exces-sively intake of sour,salty,sweet,fatty food,or fish,shrimp,crabs,or those with long course of asthma and detriment qi and yuan,might lead to deficiency in spleen,lung and kidney qi.Their dysfunction can result in abnormal body fluid,and cause in-ternal dampness.These seriously affect body fluid transportation,with restrained fluid transferring into phlegm and obstructing the airway and the lung.The lung could not disperse and descend,and the lung qi on the reverse,which cause airway clonus,and ul-timately lead to asthma.Dampness runs through the whole process of allergic asthma.In other words,dampness is the first root,and phlegm is the second root.The core pathogenesis is mainly"Triple deficiency of the lung spleen and kidney with dampness obstruction",treatment should be based on"Secure healthy and dispel dampness".Therefore,allergic asthma should be treated according to the stage,with clear priorities and treatment according to the evidence.In the acute episode stage,it is necessary to put eliminating the pathogenic factors in the first place,with less support to cultivate the positive,diffuse the lung and relieve cough and dyspnea,to identify cold and heat,and remove dampness and phlegm.In the chronic persistent stage,the treatment should take both strengthening healthy qi and eliminating the pathogen into account.Replenish the lung,spleen and kidney,dis-pel the dampness and remove the turbidity.In the clinical remission stage,the main treatment is to reinforce healthy qi,tonify the lung,spleen and kidney and dissolve dampness.
