ZHOU Zhaoshan's Experience in Staged Treatment of Bronchial Asthma by Draining Dampness
This paper summarized Professor ZHOU Zhaoshan's clinical experience in treating bronchial asthma (abbreviated as asthma) by stages with dampness-draining method. It is believed that pathogenic dampness is the key pathological factor in the onset of asthma. Dampness accumulates into water, which gathers into rheum; the condensed rheum forms phlegm, which lingers in the lungs. When external pathogens trigger the latent phlegm, phlegm and
qi
become mutually obstructed, leading to airway obstruction, disrupted
qi
movement, and upward reversal of lung
qi
, thereby resulting in asthma attacks. The treatment emphasizes a stage-based approach. During acute attacks, the main syndromes include cold-damp obstructing the lungs, damp-heat accumu
lating in the lungs, and
shaoyang
(少阳) constraint with heat. For the syndrome of cold-damp obstructing the lungs, a self-formulated
Wenfei Shenshi Decoction
(温肺渗湿汤) is used to warm the lungs and disperse cold, drain dampness and relieve panting; for the syndrome of damp-heat accumulating in the lungs, a self-formulated
Qingfei Shenshi Decoction
(清肺渗湿汤) is employed to clear the lungs and expel heat, drain dampness and relieve asthma; and for the syndrome of
shaoyang
constraint with heat, a self-formulated
Chaihu Shenshi Decoction
(柴胡渗湿汤) is administered to harmonize the
shaoyang
, clear heat and drain dampness. During the remission stage, treatment is based on the underlying kidney-deficiency constitution, and a self-formulated
Bushen Shenshi Decoction
(补肾渗湿汤) is formulated to tonify the kidneys and drain dampness, improve
qi
reception and relieve panting.
