It is believed that the core pathogenesis of chronic airway inflammatory diseases is
yang
deficiency and earth dampness, and the key to its occurrence and development is phlegm obstructing the lungs, wood sinking and metal counterflow, water cold and fire decline,based on HUANG Yuanyu's theory of circular flow of
qi
. The root treatment method should be taking the recovery of the rise and fall of center
qi
. According to the severity of the conditions of the lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs, if the phlegm is congested in the lungs,
Huangya Decoction
(黄芽汤) is suggested to bank up earth to generate metal. For those with wood sinking and metal counterflow,
Baimao Decoction
(白茅汤) can be used to clear the upper and warm purgation, and for water cold and fire decline,
Tianhun Decoction
(天魂汤) is suggested to supplement kidney and assist
yang
. All those together can promote the smooth circulation of
qi
and provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of chronic airway inflammatory diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
