Based on her many years of clinical experience, she proposed the views that the pathogenesis of Tourette syndrome in children is "rooting in the liver, onset in the lung", establishing her theories from "wind evil and phlegm evil", and adopted the method of regulating lung and calming liver as well as dispelling wind and removing phlegm to treat Tourette syndrome in children. She used Lily magnolia,Periostracum cicadae,Rhizoma phragmitis,Folium isatidis,Rabdosia rubescens,papaya,Pinellia ternate,Common clubmoss herb,Ramulus uncariae cum unicis and scorpion as the basic drugs and according to different characteristics of the symptoms she adjusted the medicines during the treatment of children with Tourette syndrome, and the effect was satisfactory. She believed that the disease's onset was slow and its recovery was not quick. As for the principle of therapeutic methods, the most important thing was to stick to the law and prescription, and to follow the prescription if the effect was good, maintaining the treatment. In addition, life conditioning during the treatment was very important, we should pay attention to daily life, diet and psychological care,and focus on the prevention of respiratory tract infection in order to dispel the causes of the disease.
