ABSTRACT

Eczema is a type of inflammatory skin disease with severe exudation and lichenification caused by various reasons. It is a common condition in dermatology, with complex causes and various manifestations of skin lesions, often prone to recurrent episodes. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) discusses the etiology and pathological mechanisms of eczema from the perspectives of wind, dampness, and heat evils. In clinical treatment, TCM focuses on the involvement of the spleen deficiency and dysregulation, and the internal generation of damp-heat during the development of eczema. However, the close relationship between the heart, blood vessels, mental state, and the occurrence of eczema is often overlooked in clinical practice. The idea of treating eczema from the perspective of the heart and spleen can be traced back to the ancient text "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon - Supreme Truth and Main Principles," which states: "All pains, itching, and sores belong to the heart" and "All dampness, swelling, and fullness belong to the spleen." This article analyzes the clinical significance of the heart and spleen in the treatment of eczema from the perspective of TCM's theory of zang-fu organs.
