RESUMO
Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and clinical manifestations of seborrheic alopecia,Professor YANG Yu-Feng believes that the fundamental pathogenesis of seborrheic alopecia is due to spleen deficiency with dampness accumulation,and dampness and fat sharing the same origin.The internal accumulation of dampness and turbidity results from the deficiency of spleen,and then the dampness and turbidity blended with heat attack the head and face.For dampness and fat share the same origin,the turbid fat forms,and then overflows and blocks the hair roots,which causes the qi and blood being difficult to go upward and nourish the hair roots,and then induces hair loss.Among them,spleen deficiency with dampness accumulation is the core pathogenesis of the disease,heat activating the movement of dampness is the key pathogenesis to the disease,and the disharmony of qi and blood is the pivot of the pathogenesis.For the treatment of seborrheic alopecia,Professor YANG Yu-Feng suggested that the hair root should be unblocked and the hair quality should be nourished by blood essence,and emphasized the importance of the method of invigorating the spleen and removing dampness,controlling oil and removing fat in dredging the hair root and relieving seborrheic alopecia.It is proposed that invigorating the spleen and removing dampness is the key,expelling wind and clearing heat is for assistance,and harmonizing qi and blood serves as the pivot.
