Exploring the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris from the liver based on holism of five organs
Psoriasis vulgaris is the most common type of psoriasis in the clinic,the disease is mainly manifested as a red maculopapular rash on the surface of the skin,covered with silvery-white scales,and bleeding spots can be seen when swabbed,accompanied by itching and other symptoms.Psoriasis corresponds to psora in TCM,although the disease occurs on the body surface,its internal pathogenic factors can be inferred from the outside symptoms.The liver is in charge of drainage,the heart is in charge of blood vessels,the lung is in charge of fur,the spleen is in charge of transportation,the kidney is the congenital origin,and the essence,fluid,Qi(气)and blood of five-zang organs(五脏)work together on the skin to make the skin moist.The key viscera of the five-zang organs is the liver.With the liver as the entry point,combined with the concept of integrated five-zang organs,the holistic differentiation and treatment are carried out.We put forward that the main pathogenesis of psoriasis of common type is dampness and heat in the liver and spleen,hyperactivity of fire in heart and liver,invasion of the lung by liver-fire,and depression in the liver and kidneys,and apply the corresponding treatment method to treat the disease,so as to eliminate the evils and replenish the deficiencies,and to make the skin more moist.It is clinically proved that the treatment is mainly based on the liver,taking other organs into consideration.Based on the idea of the integral view of the five organs,the treatment of psoriasis of common type from the liver conforms to the principle of the overall concept,can regulate the Qi and blood,adjust the Yin(阴)and Yang(阳),so as to make the sores of the skin subside and muscle heal,and obtain good curative effects.Because psoriasis vulgaris has a long course of disease and is prone to recurrence,and patients are often accompanied by emotional problems such as depression and mental anxiety,the treatment of this disease should pay attention to regulating the liver and treating the liver,and use methods such as soothing the liver and relieving depression,clearing heat and detoxifying,clearing the heart and cooling the blood.In the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris based on the integrated concept of the five organs,the depression can be sparse,the visceral deficiency can be nourished,the discharge is orderly,the Yin and Yang in equilibrium,and the organs are peaceful,so as to achieve better clinical results.
