Differentiation and Analysis of Theory of Warming-Dredging and Warming-Tonifying
There are two different warming methods,warming-dredging and warming-tonifying.The former is to promote circulation by warming whereas the latter is to tonify by warming.Firstly,the historical context of"dredging"and"tonifying"in warming method was analyzed from three representative periods:①In the Zhongjing period,warming-dredging was the key to treating yang.Gancao Ganjiang Decoction(甘草干姜汤)evolved into associated formulas of Sini Decoction(四逆汤),with warming-dredging thought throughout.②In the Jin and Yuan periods,LI Dongyuan created Buzhong Yiqi Decoction(补中益气汤)under the ascending and descending thought to lift and tonify the lucid yang,following the order of sprouting in spring and growing in summer.③ In the Ming and Qing periods,the school of warming-tonifying further emphasized the importance of supplementing yin essence based on warming yang and tonifying deficiency according to Dongyuan's theory of spleen and stomach.Secondly,the different characteristics of warming-dredging and warming-tonifying were analyzed respectively based on Taiyang disease of Treatise on Cold Damage and Yougui Pills(右归丸)of ZHANG Jingyue,and the application identification of warming-dredging and warming-tonifying was described from etiology,disease location,pathogenesis and medication.Finally,the different application scenarios of warming-dredging and warming-tonifying were demonstrated by examples of chest impediment and chronic diarrhea.
