Professor WANG Peng's Experience in Treating Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with the Harmonization Method
Based on the physiological and pathological characteristics of the lung,combined with clinical experience,Professor WANG Peng inherits the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and the integration of the five viscera,and believes that the connotation of"harmonization method"is based on harmonizing yin,yang,qi and blood,calming the viscera and bowels,giving attention to both half-exterior and half-interior,and harmonizing and releasing the lesser yang.The basic pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is the deficiency of visceral qi,the disharmony of qi movement,and the obstruction of collaterals by phlegm stasis.In clinical treatment,medical practitioners should distinguish between exterior and interior,deficiency and excess,and urgency and not urgency.The disharmony between nature and human is also an important pathogenesis of this disease.Based on his understanding of the pathogenesis,Professor WANG Peng proposed to tonify and replenish the viscera and bowels and regulate qi and blood.In the treatment,both exterior and interior and urgency and not urgency should be given attention to,the lesser yang should be harmonized and released,and harmonious medication should be given.
