Wu Ju Tong Wet Febrile Disease Treating Law

Dampness prevalent diseases is an acute Exogenous Febrile Disease in long summer festival, because of internal injuries of the spleen and stomach, excessive fluid gathered, then caused by damp.At the beginning, wei-energy was repressed by damp, superficies-interior concurrent diseases, wet outweight heat in the characteristics of the patient, The symptoms are dull fever,very hot in the afternoon, chills, Anhidrosis or hypohidrosis, somatic heaviness, pale yellow, chest tightness, hydroadipsia, white greasy tongue coating, immerseing pulse presentations. Although the onset is gentler, development of diseases is slow, but the consistency of their heat, such as oil into the flour, inextricably linked, so a longer course of disease lingering, treatment is difficult. Wu Jutong is a famous Doctor of Epidemic Febrile Disease in Qing Dynasty, has achieved enormously in the wet disease research. Handed down its famous " seasonal prevalent diseases Differentiation," a book on the Dampness prevalent diseases of the pathogenesis, prognosis, differentiation disease, treatment prescription, treatment, taboos and so on, have discussed in detailed.In this paper, the academic thoughts of the treatment of dampness prevalent diseases is from Neijing and Difficult Classic, developed the theory of Zhongjing, inherited the guidance of Yi Tianshi's theory, combined with experience formed, it could withstand the test of practice, has a very high practical value.Wu Jutong stressed differentiating diseases and differentiating zheng should be properly in the diagnosis and treatment of the dampness prevalent diseases.In the course of disease, summer febrile prevalent diseases ,dampness prevalent diseases, typhoid, yin deficiency should be distinguished.In his view, dampness prevalent diseases occurred in the early autumn after summer, when the summer temperature is very hot at the time; At the beginning of dampness prevalent diseases,dampness suppress wei-energy, superficies-interior concurrent diseases, dampness outweight heat; calorescence in yangming meridians at the beginning summer febrile prevalent diseases. The beginning of dampness prevalent diseases and typhoid, except for headache, chills are similar to symptoms, other symptoms are obviously different.Floating tight pulse of typhoid, headache, body pain, severe joint pain.while headache since the beginning of dampness prevalent diseases, less body pain, wrap such as top-heavy, heavy physical-based, and also has the light yellow face, chest tightness, dull fever, significant in the afternoon, and so on.At the beginning of dampness prevalent diseases, except for general fever in the afternoon and yin deficiency, headache, chills, somatic heaviness, pale yellow, chest tightness, hydroadipsia, white greasy tongue, thin and moisten pulse syndroms followed; in addition to general fever of yin deficiency in the afternoon heat, flushing, burning sensation of five centres, dry mouth, purple-red tongue, less moss or moss and dry tongue, floating pulse etc.limb cold, chills, pale tongue, white coating tongue are seen in the cold-dampness disease,it is not difficult to identify the dampness prevalent diseases and cold-dampness disease.The differentiations of damp-heat were written in detailed, firstly triple energizer as the key link, points up and down disease location, and followed by six meridians of specific organs, as to Wei Qi, Ying and Xue hierarchy, also paid attention to identify the severity of dampness-heat.The damp-heat syndrome in seasonal prevalent diseases differentiation, lung lesions was maily focused in upper energizer ,the only evidence of a pericardial card; splenogastric hygropyrexia was common in middle energizer,Damp in large intestine was common in lower energizer,the others was cold-dampness.By the view of wei-qi-ying-xue zheng differentiation, in the theory of Wu dampness prevenltent diseases were basically qifen, no simple Weifen, there is rarely xuefen syndrome. According to the severity of damp-heat, the damp outweight heat was common, then laid equal stress on, no the heat outweight damp.Its treatment of the dampness prevalent emphasized to swear lung qi, dissipating dampness; hoisting the spleen and stomach, drying pathogen dampness; easy and smoothing lower energizer, inducing diuresis with bland drug. In specific applications, three ways were used simultaneously, triple energizer considered to eliminate the damp-heat. The commonly used drug for facilitating lung and dissipating dampness is almond,the other drugs such as Arctii, tinctorius, Folium Eriobotryae Japonicae, Shegan, Douchi, reed rhizome etc. The commonly used drug for hoisting spleen and stomach were Round cardamom Fruit,Magnolia, pinellia, Tangerine Peel, Wrinkled Gianthyssop Terrier, pericarpium arecae, Tsaoko. inducing diuresis with bland drugs commonly used were coix seed, tuckahoe, Polyporus, Talc , Ricepaperplant Pith ect. The most commonly used drug for antipyretic drying dampness were baicalin, Chinese Goldthread Rhizome.Wu also thought highly of the taboo of dampness prevalent diseases, stressed that the beginning of the dampness prevalent prohibit perspiration, purgation, moisture; symptom-complex of dampness prevalent disease could not cure one rule; exterior and interior pathogenic combination forbidden free pure form, pure purgation; Radix Glycyrrhizae was carefully used when damp-heat blocking in the body.In short, Wu Jutong had the Medication regular pattern after he treated the dampness prevalent disease,when these regular patterns are mastered, it will be a very important significance for the Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of dampness prevalent disease.
