Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis with Ephedra Soup Method

Chronic rhinitis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and submucosa. Its main feature is that the inflammation lasts for more than three months or repeated episodes, prolonged, intermittent can not return to normal, and there is no clear causative microorganisms, accompanied by varying degrees of nasal congestion, increased secretion, swelling or thickening of the nasal mucosa and other obstacles. In Chinese medicine, this disease belongs to the category of congested nose, congested sneeze or nasal suffocation. First, from the physiological and pathological point of view to recognize the relationship between the lung and the nose: 1, “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”: “the lung opens the orifices in the nose”, which means that the nose is the door of the whistle system. The Spiritual Pivot – the pulse of the chapter “pointed out that” lung gas through the nose, lungs and the nose can know the aroma and odor carry on.” Lung main body of gas, in charge of the whistle. Nose as a gas in and out of the channel, and the lungs are directly connected. Therefore, the nose ventilation and sense of smell must rely on the lung gas. Lung gas and harmonization, in order to the nostrils fluent, sensitive sense of smell, such as exogenous wind and cold attack on the lungs, nasal congestion, affecting the sense of smell; lungs have dry heat, the nostrils are dry; evil heat congestion of the lungs, often asthma, nasal flap and other symptoms. 2, “Su Wen – Jin Gui real speech”: “open orifices in the nose, hiding the essence of the lungs. The nose is the orifice of the lungs, and it is also the path of the lungs to be invaded by external evils. If the external evil from the mouth and nose into the common clinical evil attack on the lungs, the lungs do not propagate the nasal congestion caused by runny nose, sense of smell and other symptoms. If the lungs are congested with heat, it is common to see shortness of breath and nasal agitation. It can be seen that the lungs and the nose are closely related, lung disease can be reflected from the nose, and the treatment of nasal lesions often start from the lungs. 3, “medical heart language – the first volume,” pointed out that: “the nose is green, abdominal pain. If the color of the nose is green, there is pain in the abdomen. If it is slightly black, there is phlegm and drink. If it is yellow, it is dampness and heat. If it is white, there is Qi deficiency. If it is red, it is heat in the lungs. Those who are bright are not sick.” Therefore, when the lung qi deficiency can be seen in the nose white, this belongs to the guard qi can not be declared on the surface of the muscle, the coupling is not solid, the cold evil condensation of the nasal orifices, stagnation of fluids, the mucous membranes appear to be swollen and pale, paroxysmal sneezing, snot thin, etc., which is the lung qi deficiency and cold also. In the daily allergic rhinitis patients, symptomatic nasal orifices itch, sneezing, followed by a large amount of clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, loss of sense of smell, plain wind and fear of cold, easy to catch a cold, shortness of breath, face white, every wind and cold will be easy to seizure, recurrently does not heal, this kind of also belongs to the lung qi deficiency and cold evidence. All of the above shows that the nose and the lung in physiology, pathology is closely related. Second, the formation of chronic rhinitis pathogenesis: external evil guest lung, due to lung qi insufficiency, the inability to get rid of the evil, the lung is not pronounced, the nose is blocked, the whistle is unfavorable, the sense of smell is also poor. Third, the treatment of chronic rhinitis: to promote the lung qi, get rid of the external evil, and supplement the lung qi, the kidney qi. Case: patient male, 56 years old, chronic rhinitis for more than 10 years, by the Chinese and Western medicine treatment repeatedly does not heal. The symptoms were itchy nose, sneezing, followed by a large amount of clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion and loss of sense of smell. He is usually afraid of cold and wind, easy to catch a cold, shortness of breath, white face, and easy to have an attack every time he meets the wind and cold.
