Application of the Theory of Body-Viscus Impediment in the Prevention and Treatment of Rheumatic and Immunological Diseases Based on Yin-Yang and Five-Element Theory
and five-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), combined with the theory of body-viscus impediment, this paper explained the physiological and pathological connections between the body and viscus in rheumatic and immunological diseases, along with corresponding thera
peutic strategies. The
yin

yang
theory emphasizes the dynamic interdependence between body and viscus through mutual rooting and mutual use, forming internal-external connections. Pathologically, this manifests as body impediment affecting viscera, and visceral impediment affecting body, which align closely with immune-metabolic-inflammatory imbalance mechanisms in modern medicine. The five-element theory reveals the dynamic cyclical characteristics between viscus and body through the principles of generation and restriction. Pathologically, the five elements manifests over-restriction and counter-restriction each other, as well as disease involving both the mother-organ and child-organ, which correspond to the imbalance of multi-system interactive networks in modern medicine. For treatment, this article proposes that

self-harmonization guided by simultaneous treatment of body and viscus (nourishing viscus through the body, regulating viscus to stabilize the body), and five-element restriction and generation guided by harmonizing body and viscus (methods such as nourishing earth to generate metal, metal-water mutual generation, and nourishing earth to treat water disorders), so as to provide reference for systemic treatment of rheumatic and immunological diseases.
