Abstract:

The aim is to explore the guiding significance of the theory of "Removing the Earth Stagnation" in the treatment of adenoid hypertrophy in children， and to analyze its pathogenesis (obstruction of qi movement in middle energizer， disorder of water metabolism， obstruction of qi and blood circulation) and clinical typing (qi stagnation， dampness stagnation， phlegm stagnation， blood stasis stagnation). It is clarified that the pathogenesis of adenoid hypertrophy is closely related to "Earth Stagnation", and the treatment should focus on removing stagnation; hence, the treatment principle of "Removing the Earth Stagnation" was put forward, including strengthening the spleen and regulating qi to restore the transportation and transformation of the middle energizer， promoting diuresis and eliminating phlegm to regulate water metabolism， and removing blood stasis and dredging orifices to promote the circulation of qi and blood.Through the staged treatment and removing method, both manifestations and causes can be managed, clinical symptoms are improved, the normal physiological functions of the body are restored, and ultimately the therapeutic goal is achieved, including smooth movement of spleen qi, normal mechanism of qi, smooth flow of fluid, good circulation of qi and blood, and clearance of nasal orifices. The theory of "Removing the Earth Stagnation" provides effective clinical ideas for the treatment of adenoid hypertrophy in children with traditional Chinese medicine.
