Professor HAN Xue's experience in using Xiaochaihu plus Huanglian Mudan Tang(小柴胡加黄连牡丹汤)to treat children with viral encephalitis
Professor HAN Xue proposes that pediatric viral encephalitis is mostly located in Shaoyang channel.This condition's development is intricately linked to children's physiological traits,which include fragile organs,in-adequate qi and blood,and a common deficiency in the kidneys.In children,the delicacy of organs and the insuffi-ciency of stored essence mean that exposure to cold can easily lead to the cold lurking within the Shaoyin channel.This hidden cold can transform into heat,allowing pathogenic toxins the opportunity to invade,traveling through me-ridians and affecting internal organs,particularly the heart and liver.This ailment manifests with a swift onset,rapid progression,and unpredictable changes,bearing similarities to warm diseases.The underlying pathogenesis involves cold converting into heat within the Shaoyang channel.Clinically,treatment often aligns with the formula-syndrome correspondence principle,typically employing a modified Xiaochaihu plus Huanglian Mudan Tang(小柴胡加黄连牡丹汤).This approach is aimed at unblocking the Triple Burner,facilitating the circulation both internally and ex-ternally,clearing the heart,and cooling the liver.Combining TCM with Western medical approaches can be benefi-cial.A case study is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of this treatment strategy.
