Diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease based on "Shaoyang as the pivot"
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder in which the contents of the stomach and duodenum reflux into the esophagus, causing acid reflux and heartburn as the main clinical manifestations. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the occurrence and development of GERD are closely related to dysfunction of the
Shaoyang
pivot. The
Shaoyang
meridian, located between the half-exterior and half-interior, serves as the pivotal point for the rise and fall of
qi
in the human body. Dysfunction of the
Shaoyang
pivot can lead to
qi
imbalance, generation of internal dampness and turbidity, and hyperactivity of the ministerial fire, resulting in reflux and related symptoms. Based on the theory of "
Shaoyang
as the pivot", this study proposes the treatment strategy of regulating the
Shaoyang
pivot, applying principles of regulating
qi
, eliminating dampness and turbidity, and clearing and descending ministerial fire. Representative formulas such as
Xiaochaihu Decoction
,
Haoqin Qingdan Decoction
, and
Dachaihu Decoction
are modified according to symptoms, achieving significant therapeutic effects.
