Discussion on Treating Psoriasis with Obstruction-removing Therapy Based on Collateral Disease Theory
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease,which has become a a clinically challenging condition because of its chronic and recurrent characteristics.Obstruction-removing therapy holds a crucial position in traditional Chinese medicine,encompassing a rich range of approaches.Applying the obstruction-removing method to treat diseases related to collateral pathology provides a new perspective and strategy for clinicians to treat various complex and difficult-to-treat diseases.In dermatology,the method of dredging collaterals,which is based on the theory of collateral pathology,has been widely used in the treatment of various chronic and stubborn skin diseases.The article provides a brief analysis of the imagery,physiology,and pathology characteristics of collaterals.It systematically elaborates on the mechanisms of collateral pathology in the development of psoriasis from the perspec-tives of affected areas,pathological factors,and the progression of pathological mechanisms,including the relationship between skin and collaterals,the common pathological factors of psoriasis and collaterals diseases,and the development patterns of diseases ente-ring collaterals in chronic conditions.Accordingly,the theoretical basis of dredging collaterals in the treatment of psoriasis is specif-ically discussed and introduced.It specifically explores three treatment objectives in clinical applications:expelling pathogenic fac-tors,guiding drugs to reach places,and maintaining qi and blood.The article aims to contribute to the research on the etiology and pathogenesis of psoriasis,guide clinical treatment,and improve the structure of medication.
