Abstract:

"Aromatic orifice-opening" method has a long history and is widely used. Based on children's physiopathological characteristics and the theoretical basis of "the lung opens the orifices in the nose", the "aromatic orifices-opening" method is applied to children's pulmonary and nasal diseases, such as upper airway cough syndrome, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, adenoid hypertrophy, etc. The causes and mechanisms of the diseases are explored in depth. Due to the nature of dispelling wind of aromatic products, such as Angelica dahurica, Atractylodes lancea, Agastache rugosa, etc., they are used to facilitate the opening of the nosal orifices, in order to promote the lung qi, relieve dampness and invigorate the spleen. The methods of warming yang and consolidating surface, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis are also used. which result in good effects. A typical medical case is presented here for verification.
