Discussion on Chinese medicine research strategies of Alzheimer's disease based on theory of "turbid evils invading the clear orifice"
The research strategy of traditional Chinese medicine in Alzheimer's disease(AD) is discussed based on the theory of "turbid evils invading the clear orifice". It is believed that "turbid evils invading the clear orifice" is the core mechanism for the aggravation of the disease in the middle and late stages. It is proposed that deficiency of kidney essence is the basis of pathogenesis, and phlegm and stasis evils obstruction of the orifice is the key link of pathogenesis. Combined with clinical research and Chinese medicine pharmacology research, it is believed that tonifying deficiency and dispelling turbidity is the basic rule of treatment, and it is proposed that on the basis of tonifying the kidney and generating the marrow, the core treatments such as resolving phlegm and opening orifice, activating blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis should be combined.
