Bronchitis in Traditional Chinese medicine belongs to the categories of "cough", "sputum drinking", "cough and wheezing". It is believed that the invasion of external evils and the dysfunction of the lungs, spleen and kidneys are the main causes of the disease. The human body is not righteous, wei wai is derelict in its duties, it feels external evil, and external evil can be either the evil of wind and cold, or the evil of wind and cold, which can also be the evil of wind and cold, invade the lungs, and make the lungs lose their vigilance; or the lungs are weak, the guard is not solid, and the sense of external evil is compounded; or because of old age and weakness, spleen and lung qi deficiency, spleen and lung qi deficiency, spleen and health loss, wet accumulation into phlegm, and stop storing in the lungs; or the lungs have a permanent disease, and the external evil is felt again; or after a long illness, the spleen and lungs damage the kidneys, resulting in insufficient kidney qi and no right to accept qi. #支气管炎 #
Bronchitis often has a history of acute respiratory infections such as influenza and pneumonia before the onset of the disease, the incidence is mostly in the cold season, the symptoms are mainly cough and phlegm, and there may be systemic symptoms such as fever in the early stage, and asthma can also occur when the cough is intense.
One, cough
Congestion of the bronchial mucosa, edema, or accumulation of secretions in the bronchial lumen can cause coughing. The severity of the cough depends on the condition, generally the cough is heavier in the morning, lighter during the day, and there is a cough or sputum discharge before going to bed at night. The cough does not heal for a long time, and it intensifies in autumn and winter.
2. Sputum
The cough is not heavy at first, with less irritating sputum, and after a few days the cough intensifies and the sputum turns from mucus to mucus-purulent. The sputum is white foamy, viscous and not easy to cough up. Mucus secretions may have a coarse dry rales in the larger bronchi and disappear after coughing, while wet murmurs are heard in the lungs when watery secretions accumulate in the small bronchi.
Three, wheezing
Patients with wheezing bronchitis have bronchospasm, which can cause wheezing, often accompanied by asthma attacks, causing difficulty breathing. Early absence of shortness of breath, recurrent episodes for several years, and complicated by obstructive emphysema may be accompanied by shortness of breath of varying severity. Chronic bronchitis has a long course, long-term loss of treatment leads to lung and spleen damage and kidney damage, so the serious condition, often accompanied by wheezing can not lie flat, movement is aggravated and other renal non-absorption and other symptoms.
In the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Jingsu Question cough theory": "Its cold diet enters the stomach, from the lung pulse to the lungs, the lungs are cold, and the lungs are cold outside and inside, so the guest is a lung cough." "It is clearly pointed out that lung chills lead to lung cough. The susceptibility of the lungs to cold and evil determines the frequency of cough caused by cold evil. Cold evil is the most important state element of external cough and asthma, and cold evil is also the head of external evil, so ancient Chinese medicine has a saying that "evil is cold, gaigu yiye." Zhang Jingyue, a famous medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty, also proposed that "if there is insufficient qi, it is cold." Coincidentally, He Shaoqi, a famous contemporary Chinese medicine scholar and TCM clinician, also put forward the view that "no heat is cold". Through these theories of Chinese medicine, there is a treatment principle of "curing cough and not far from warm".
Phlegm is yin and evil, easy to hurt yang, in case of cold, it gathers, and when it is warm, it is good. Zhang Zhongjing's "Outline of the Golden Plateau" put forward that "those who drink phlegm with disease, should use warm medicine to harmonize" this general principle of treating phlegm drinking, that is, to cure phlegm, it is necessary to use warm medicine to reconcile treatment, invigorate yang qi, and self-dissipate phlegm. Asthma is often present with cold sputum and wind sputum. Of course, good and evil compete with each other, and there are often cold and heat transformations, or cold and heat are mixed, or the same disease is on the surface. For cold and heat mixed when warm and cold and used to prevent bias as a harm, do not use cold.
