Exploring the Application of Guiyuan Tiaolou Method in the Treatment of Senile Eye Diseases Based on the Academic Ideas of Yanke Chanwei
Yanke Chanwei pioneered the specialized discussion on the diagnosis and treatment of senile eye diseases.The book summarizes the clinical features,interprets their etiology and pathogenesis,and proposes principles for treating these conditions.The academic ideas presented in the book are notably distinctive.Building upon and promoting these academic ideas,FENG Jun believes that senile eye diseases manifest as a combination of primary deficiency and secondary excess,with the organs and orifices sharing the same pathological patterns.Specifically,Zang-fu is considered the primary source,with the fundamental elements of the body converging in spleen and kidneys.The eyes represent the secondary manifestation,with their essential components converging in Qi and blood.The Xuan-fu and collaterals serve as the pivotal connection,emphasizing the importance of the relationship between primary and secondary manifestations.So,senile eye diseases are rooted in both the organs and orifices,with the underlying cause being the deficiency of Zang-fu,particularly spleen and kidneys.The manifest symptoms involve the orifices,particularly the disturbance of Qi and blood.The article proposes that the method of Guiyuan Tiaolou should be the fundamental principle for treating senile eye diseases.The core of treatment lies in the use of the Guiyuan Tiluo method,which involves clearing collaterals,nourishing Qi,and unblocking orifices.In clinical practice,treatment is adjusted based on differentiation of the primary and secondary manifestations,as well as consideration of deficiency and excess conditions.
