ABSTRACT

"Mingmen theory" is the product of the gradual combination of Taoist health theory and medical practice, and it is Zhang Jingyue's important academic thought. Almost all medical books involve it, which is still the subject of heated debate. The theory of true Yin and true Yang of Mingmen plays an important role not only in the treatment of internal injuries, but also in the treatment of exogenous fever; It is the product of the long-term development of the experience of Fuzheng treatment in history. According to the description of "synopsis of the Golden Chamber", it is believed that the Mingmen theory is related to the cachexia of tumors. Most patients with advanced tumors are true Yin deficiency, and can reuse Rehmannia to supplement true Yin deficiency. Clinical treatment should start from warming and Tonifying Kidney Yang. Shenqi Dihuang decoction or other formulas that can supplement true Yin and true Yang can be used to treat malignant pleural effusion and malignant ascites with significant curative effect.
