Experience in the treatment of mask-related cheilitis by'flattening the five organs'method
In the wake of the epidemic,prolonged mask-wearing has become a common practice,leading to the development of cheilitis in some individuals,which can be challenging to remedy.According to the Lingnan ZHENs'miscellaneous disease school,the imbalance of the spleen and stomach center is considered crucial in the development of cheilitis.However,the interconnectedness of the five organs means that cheilitis can also be attributed to imbalances in other organs depending on the individual.Masks are believed to create a conducive environment for pathogenic factors,and addressing the balance of yin and yang within the five internal organs is a primary focus of treatment.Professor ZHANG Zhongde,the fourth-generation representative inheritor of Lingnan ZHENs'miscellaneous disease school,has advocated the'flattening the five organs'method for disease differentiation and treatment.This article shares professor ZHANG Zhongde's insights and experiences in treating mask-related cheilitis using the'flattening the five organs'method.
