Abstract: Hysteria,now known as functional motor disorders,is a functional neurological disorder that is often associated with psychological,social,and other factors.During its onset,there may be clinical manifestations of traditional Chinese medicine asthma,such as dyspnea and even opening the mouth and lifting the shoulders,which are special forms of this disease and often occur due to emotional changes.Children have weaker organ function and are more susceptible to emotional factors.The onset of this disease is sudden and rapid,and it is prone to hyperventilation syndrome,which can lead to respiratory alkalosis and other critical situations,threatening the physical and mental health of the affected children.Based on the theory of TCM zang fu syndrome differentiation and taking the theory of generation inhibition of five elements as the general principle,Professor Wang Xuefeng thinks that the occurrence of such diseases is closely related to the lungs and liver.Tracing the origin from ancient books and based on the theory of "wood fire tormenting metal",Professor Wang Xuefeng combines the internal treatment with the external treatment in the treatment,adopts the fundamental treatment method of soothing the liver and resolving depression,and regulates the qi mechanism,so as to ensure the orderly rise and fall of the liver and lungs and the normal function of the zang fu organs.This paper,by tracing the records of the theory of "wood fire tormenting metal" in ancient books and combining with modern research on the mechanism of wheezing caused by emotional diseases,further explores the guiding significance of "wood fire tormenting metal" in clinical treatment.A typical medical case is attached in order to provide deeper theoretical and prescription experience guidance for the TCM treatment of such complex diseases of emotional diseases combined with pulmonary diseases.
