Syndrome differentiation and treatment of allergic rhinitis based on theory of "imbalance between ying and wei, with one excess and one deficiency"
Allergic rhinitis, as a condition where traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) holds a therapeutic advantage, has limitations in conventional syndrome differentiation and treatment methods due to their mechanical nature. The theory of ying (nutritive qi) and wei (defensive qi) provides a foundational understanding of allergic rhinitis. The change of deficiency and excess between ying and wei, qi and blood, and the visceral organs under the influence of both internal and external factors,caused by imbalance between ying and wei, is crucial to the onset and progression of allergic rhinitis. Accordingly, allergic rhinitis could be divided into three stages: early, middle, and advanced. The treatment approach is aimed at releasing the exterior and expelling wind, harmonizing the ying and wei, regulating the upper and lower body, fortifying and securing the defensive barriers, clearing accumulated stagnation, and restoring the balance of yin and yang. Three clinical cases are provided for reference.
