Professor XU Xian's Experience in Treating Flat Warts Based on the Theory of"Bai Qi(白气)Micro-discharge"
This paper summarized the experience in treating flat warts by Professor XU Xian based on the theory of Bai Qi(白气)micro-discharge.Flat warts is considered as a minor skin disease.Wind-damp attacking the exterior and contention between the muscles are the prerequisites for its occurrence,and failure to diffuse due to wei(卫)constraint,and qi discharge to striae and interstices are the core pathogenesis.For treatment,the core principle is to treat minor diseases with minor adjustment,and therefore,the method of dispelling wind and overcoming dampness is used to produce slight sweating and relieve the symptoms,and by taking advantage of the situation,the constraint is unblocked with diffusion and dispersion.Simultaneously,it is paid attention to not over-damaging blood vessels during treatment to avoid causing other symptoms.Self-made Modified Maxing Yigan Decoction(麻杏薏甘汤)is recommended as the basic formula for flat warts,together with self-made Xi You Formula(洗疣方)in external administration to restore defense qi,eliminate pathogenic qi and remove the warts.
