Abstract
- Consumptive thirst is widely discussed in Huangdi Neijing and it is classified as a " strange disease" in Suwen Strange Diseases Treatise, which reflects the intractable nature of consumptive thirst. This paper explores and analyzes consumptive thirst based on the core concept in Huangdi Neijing. First, this paper approaches the subject through the use of image thinking method from Huangdi Neijing, recognizing that consumptive thirst can lead to changes in the internal climate of the human body. Then, guided by the theories of essence and qi, yin and yang, and the five elements in Huangdi Neijing, it deconstructs and analyzes the causes of these changes and the laws of qi transformation. It points out that the changing climate of consumptive thirst is characterized by "heat symptoms". The main cause of "heat symptoms" is spleen deficiency and excessive dampness, and its qi transformation law is the heat transformation of Shaoyin. The intractable nature of consumptive thirst is mainly reflected in the uncontrolled "heat symptoms" caused by the imbalance of the five elements. Based on the understanding of the heat symptoms of consumptive thirst, this paper proposes a treatment strategy for preventing the disease by resolving dampness and regulating the spleen, harmonizing kidney qi to prevent progression, and balancing yin and yang to treat chronic and recalcitrant conditions. The aim is to provide a reference for optimizing the treatment of consumptive thirst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
