Treatment of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease from the Perspective of Ascending and Descending of Qi
This article explored the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease(LPRD)from the perspective of ascending and descending of qi.It is believed that the disorder of qi movement of the middle jiao(焦)is the key to the pathogenesis of LPRD.The ascending and descending disorder of liver and lung is an important factor in its prolon-gation and progression.The treatment of LPRD should follow the nature of the spleen and stomach,with the focus on fortifying and transporting the spleen and the stomach,supplemented by soothing the liver and diffusing the lung.The herbs such as Cangzhu(Rhizoma Atractylodis),Fuling(Poria),Yiyiren(Semen Coicis),Gegen(Radix Puerariae Lobatae)and Shanyao(Rhizoma Dioscoreae)could be used for fortifying and circuiting the center earth,and Chaihu(Radix Bupleuri),Muxiang(Radix Aucklandiae),Zhiqiao(Fructus Aurantii)and Baishao(Radix Paeoniae Alba)for soothing the liver and nourishing the blood to harmonize the ascending and descending.Jiegeng(Radix Platycodonis)and Xuanfuhua(Japanese Inula Flower)are supplemented to diffuse and direct lung qi downward thereby mediating the center jiao.In this way,the qi movement of the spleen and stomach is restored,and the ascending and descending between the liver and lung are harmonized,and therefore the disease is cureda.
