Correlation between the pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of urticaria and the change of qi transportation of autumn equinox based on the view of 'qi flow over time'
Urticaria is a common clinical disease.It has a certain seasonal rhythm,which is high in summer and autumn.The Autumnal Equinox is the turning point of the qi transportation in summer and autumn,the fourth qi and the fifth qi connect in autumn equinox.The cold,heat,dryness and dampness are contending,and the qi of yin and yang changes violently.Qi,blood,yin and yang of the human body changes in response to the qi transportation,and the functions of organs are also affected.The lung responds to qi in autumn,and the excess or deficiency of qi directly affects the physiological function of the lung.If there is abnormal change in the transportation of qi during autumn equinox,or if residual heat does not dissipate,or if dampness prevails,or if dryness comes suddenly,or if cold arrives early,it can cause physiological dysfunction in lung regulation that manifests on the skin and have urticaria.Based on the change of qi transportation of autumn equinox,exploring the pathogenesis of urticaria will not only enrich the connotation of'lung responding to autumn',but also provide ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of the disease.
