Experience of professor FENG Xiaochun in treating pediatric constipation with Yunpi Qingfei Tongbian Gao(运脾清肺通便膏)
Constipation,a common gastrointestinal disorder in pediatric clinical practice,manifests in various syndromes such as food stagnation,dryness-heat,qi stagnation,qi deficiency,and blood deficiency.Professor FENG Xiaochun often approaches its treatment from the perspectives of spleen and lung.Based on the physiological charac-teristics of children,who are inherently prone to deficiencies in spleen and lung,professor FENG believes that the lung and large intestine are internally-externally related.When exogenous pathogens invade the lung,they transform into heat,which descends to the large intestine,burning body fluids.Coupled with inappropriate feeding practices and splenic deficiency,food stagnation occurs internally.This can lead to a mutual influence between the spleen and lung,ultimately causing constipation due to splenic deficiency and lung heat.Adhering to the principle of invigorat-ing the spleen and clearing the lung,professor FENG has formulated Yunpi Qingfei Tongbian Gao(运脾清肺通便膏)movement,with notable therapeutic effects.Two cases are presented for verification.
