Based On The Wei-Defensive Qi Theory To Research The Prevention And Cure On Asthma Remission

Bronchial asthma was a common frequently-occurring disease which could not be cured in short time and patients suffered very much pain while was one of the chronic disease in the clinical to be solved urgently.The Wei-Defensive Qi(WQ)theory is one of the basic theory of TCM classics that could guide the clinical practice.So this study is aimed at exploring how to treat the bronchial asthma in remission by the WQ theory.First,the correlation between asthma and the WQ was demonstrated.Through the literature found that asthma always was induced by exogenous pathogenic factors and the WQ’s main function is to defense the external risk factors.If the WQ was in the normal state,the asthma would not attack.Then,the WQ theory was detailed explanation according to the HuangDi NeiJing and other TCM classics.The child WQ formed in the kidney,then was active transported to the spleen where could absorb nutrient to become stronger by liver.The robust WQ was active transported to lung by liver after nurturing.Finally,the WQ was transported throughout the body through the lung.The WQ played a important role in the human body.Defensing,warming were the main functions of the WQ.The WQ was circulating outside the channels and large blood vessels and communicated the Nourishing Qi in the collaterals and capillaries all the time.The WQ could be influenced by sun and moon and exhibited the day-night rhythm and lunar rhythm.No matter what pathogen trespassed the body,the WQ would defense it immediately and prolonged while the pathogen was expelled.The insufficiency,blocked,retrogradation and disorder were the common pathological manifestations of the WQ.The WQ was often disrupted by emotion,diet and exogenous.Through the above discussion,the relationship between the WQ and asthma had been explained more clearly.The formation,and distribution of the WQ depended on the kidney,spleen and lung which with the normal coordination function.Conversely,the asthma destroyed the normal state.There is a negative correlation between the onset of asthma and the WQ so that preserved the normal function of the WQ could cure asthma.The healthy lifestyle is very important for asthma patients which contained of Keeping emotion rational and gently,good eating habits,no overwork,regular bedtime and rising time and keeping body warming.Drug therapy was aimed to help the WQ to be formed and circulate.Treatment should include tonifying kidney,tonifying spleen,tonifying lung while soothing the liver,stomach and large intestine.Dissipating phlegm and removing blood stasis was the key to keep the WQ circulating which should be valued.The WQ theory could be used for the prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma in remission.From WQ to prevent and treat the asthma could grasp the overall treatment of disease better.This study provided the theoretical direction for clinical and experimental research in future.
