ABSTRACT

The theory of "Shaoyang as the pivot" is derived from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, and reveals the characteristics of Shaoyang as the pivot. Shaoyang is the pivot of the internal and external yin and yang, the internal organs and meridians, the qi flow, and the emotions. Shaoyang is a young Yang and is weak in nature, so it is prone to deficiency and actuality and to cold and heat. Based on the principle of "Shaoyang as the pivot", Zhang Zhongjing proposed that the core pathogenesis of Shaoyang diseases is the incompetence of the pivot, and thus created the representative formula for regulating the pivot of Shaoyang - Xiao Chai Hu Tang. The basic physiopathological feature of children is that the central organ is not favourable. Through Xiao Chai Hu Tang, we can reconcile the central organ of Shao Yang, unify Yin and Yang, access Qi, blood and fluids, and strengthen the spleen and stomach, thus improving the immune function of the body and enhancing environmental adaptability, and ultimately realising "Yin and Yang secrecy" to better serve clinical work.
