The treatment of pediatric asthma from the theory of"when you see the disease of the lungs,you know that the lungs are transmitted to the liver,so you should first smooth the liver"
Through ZHANG Zhongjing's"The Essentials of the Golden Chamber",the theory of"when one sees a disease of the liver,one knows that the liver transmits to the spleen,and the spleen should be strengthened first",this article introduces the thesis of"when you see the disease of the lungs,you know that the lungs are trans-mitted to the liver,so you should first smooth the liver".Through the relationship between the liver and the lung in terms of the five elements,the co-regulation of qi and blood,and the connection of the meridians,it is pointed out that the lack of liver qi is a characteristic of pediatric asthma,and therefore liver smoothing is the basic rule of treat-ment.Following the concept that the liver is the main regulator and liver qi should be elevated,we flexibly apply the treatments of smoothing the liver and regulating the lungs,regulating the qi,eliminating phlegm and relieving fire,moistening the lungs and calming the wheezing,so as to achieve the purpose of treating pediatric asthma.One case is presented for verification.
