Analyzing the Application of the"Qi Circulation and Earth as Pivot for the Four Ele-ments"Theory in the Treatment of Macular Edema
This paper explores the clinical application of the"Qi circulation and earth as pivot for the four elements"theory in the treatment of macular edema,based on the integration of this theory with clinical practice.By reviewing medical cases,reading relevant classical texts and literature,we delve into the role of this theory in the occurrence,development,and treatment of macular edema.Our team believes that the onset of macular edema can be traced back to an abnormality in the pivotal function of the spleen and stomach.When this central pivot is disturbed,the normal functioning of liver,heart,lung,and kidney is impaired.This dysfunction leads to the formation of pathological products such as phlegm,dampness,and stasis,further affecting the normal operations of the central earth and the four elements.Therefore,our treatment strategy is based on protecting the central earth,emphasizing the smooth flow of the Qi mechanisms of the four elements,while also addressing the removal of pathological products.This approach has yielded favorable clinical outcomes.This paper summarizes our team's clinical experiences and discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of macular edema based on the"Qi circulation and earth as pivot for the four elements"theory,aiming to provide additional insights for the clinical treatment of retinal diseases.
