The Application of the Method of Tonifying Earth to Generate Metal in Chronic Respiratory Diseases

摘要

Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, and chronic bronchitis, are characterized by high incidence, recurrent episodes, and prolonged courses, seriously endangering human health. Western medicine mainly focuses on symptom control and inffammation relief, but it is difffcult to solve the root cause of recurrent attacks. The Method of Tonifying Earth to Generate Metal, a classic therapeutic approach in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is based on the Lung-Spleen Correlation Theory. It takes “tonifying the spleen and beneffting qi” as the core, regulates the functional balance of the lung and spleen, and achieves the purpose of treating chronic respiratory diseases.The research aims to provide theoretical reference and clinical guidance for the TCM treatment of chronic respiratory diseases and promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM characteristic therapies.
