Discussion on the prevention and treatment of primary osteoporosis from Yangming
Primary osteoporosis is a common age related osteoarthritis in clinical practice,belonging to the category of flaccidity syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.With the continuous deepening of research,it has been found that traditional Chinese medicine has good therapeutic effects in the prevention and treatment of this disease,and has become one of the main methods for treating this disease.Many doctors believe that the occurrence of this disease is most closely related to the liver and kidney,and have started to differentiate and treat this disease based on the liver and kidney.However,the academic viewpoint of treating impotence only from Yangming(阳明)was clearly proposed in Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》),indicating that Yangming is closely related to the occurrence and development of this disease.Therefore,in-depth exploration of the connotation of Yangming and its relationship with this disease may provide new basis and ideas for the prevention and treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.Based on literature research,this article analyzes and summarizes existing research results,and explores the basis and methods for preventing and treating primary osteoporosis from the perspective of Yangming.It is believed that Yangming in treating impotence from Yangming alone specifically refers to the spleen and stomach,and includes the functions of the organs and meridians.The relationship between the spleen and stomach and bone dysfunction includes the following aspects:firstly,kidney deficiency and muscle dystrophy caused by spleen and stomach weakness are important causes of bone dysfunction.Secondly,dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach can lead to kidney deficiency,or dampness and heat in the lungs and lack of kidney water can also lead to the occurrence of bone dysfunction.Thirdly,the spleen and stomach are the hub for the rise and fall of the human body's Qi(气),and the imbalance of the spleen and stomach Qi function leading to Qi stagnation and blood stasis is an important factor that causes or exacerbates bone dysfunction.Therefore,in clinical practice,attention should be paid to the differentiation and treatment of primary osteoporosis from the aspects of tonifying the deficiency,clearing the damp-heat of the spleen and stomach,regulating the Qi movement of the spleen and stomach,etc..The selection of meridians and acupoints from Yangming of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy may achieve satisfactory results,and strengthening the spleen and stomach through health preservation can prevent this disease to a certain extent.
