Investigation on the pathogenesis of phlegm-dampness constitution predisposition and the ideas of body adjustment intervention
Phlegm-dampness constitution is one of the nine basic constitution types,which refers to the constitution state in which water stops inside and phlegm-dampness condenses,and the main feature is viscosity and turbidity.The theory of"body disease related-adjustable constitution"holds that physical differences have different susceptibility,liability and onset predisposition to pathogenic factors or diseases.Constitution is the result of the joint action of innate and acquired factors,which is both relatively stable and dynamically variable,and has adjustability.The products(dampness,turbidity,phlegm and fluid retention)formed in the pathological state of phlegm-dampness constitution are the"common soil"for many diseases,and the clinical symptoms are different due to various quantity,quality,location and appearance.In this paper,phlegm-dampness constitution is taken as the research object,combined with its relationship with viscera,meridian joints,qi-blood-body fluid,according to different manifestations and symptoms,the onset predisposition of phlegm-dampness constitution is deeply investigated,and the effectiveness of improving phlegm-dampness constitution by means of diet,daily life,exercise and acupoint stimulation therapy is explained,so as to provide guidance for phlegm-dampness constitution body adjustment intervention and disease prevention.
