Research Progress on Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Asthma Based on the"Lung Gut Axis"
Objective To summarize and analyze the research results of the"lung gut axis"and the research progress in the treatment of bronchial asthma based on this theory.Methods Collect relevant literature on microbiology,pathophysiology,immunology,and traditional Chinese medicine treatment of asthma based on the"lung gut axis"in recent years,and explore the latest research results of the"lung gut axis"theory and its impact in the field of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of asthma.The consistency of tissue sources,synchronous changes in microbial flora,and mucosal immune correlation between the lungs and large intestine in modern medical research provide a solid theoretical basis for the"lung gut axis"theory.At present,in the treatment of asthma with traditional Chinese medicine,the theory of"lung gut axis"has been widely integrated into traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions,acupuncture and moxibustion,acupoint application and other treatments.Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to improving intestinal flora imbalance,regulating the immune function of the body and other aspects.Conclusion The clinical efficacy of asthma treatment guided by the"lung gut axis"theory is significantly improved compared to treatment based solely on the lung meridian.
