YANG Zhen's Interpretation of the Wumei Pill (乌梅丸) Based on the Theory of Qi Dynamics of Ministerial Fire
dynamics of ministerial fire", this paper systematically elucidates the pathogenesis of
jueyin
(厥阴) disease and the clinical rationale for applying
Wumei Pill
(乌梅丸).
Jueyin
disease is characterized by dysfunction of the middle earth in regulating
qi
dynamics and disruption of the pivot mechanism, leading to an upward disturbance of ministerial fire and an underlying pattern of deficiency-cold of true
yang
, thereby forming a state of cold and heat in complexity.
Wumei Pill
fully exerts the synergistic effects of sour-astringency, bitter-descending, and acrid-warm medicinals, reflecting the therapeutic principle of regulating the pivot mechanism and restraining the upward rebellion of ministerial fire, with the aim of returning fire to its source and restoring the circulation of
qi
. Based on the four-dimensional pathological evolution of
Jueyin
disease, namely disorder of pivot
qi
harmonization, failure of
ying
(营)-blood nourishment and containment, loss of
yin
sustenance and balance, and instabi-lity of ministerial fire, the paper systematically reveals the underlying logic of
Wumei Pill
in treating different diseases with the same therapeutic princi
ple. In addition, a clinical case of hemoptysis treated with modified
Wumei Pill
is presented, providing insights into its formulation principles and expanding its application in complex and refractory multi-system diseases.
