Abstract:The correspondence between human body and natural environment is one of the most important ideologies in the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The theory of “lung correspondence to autumn” is an important part of the theory of “four seasons-five organs-yin and yang”, which does not only reflects the important ideology of traditional Chinese medicine, but also reflects the concept of correspondence between human body and natural environment. Autumn is the high incidence period of seasonal allergic rhinitis, because the lung is connected with autumn and thereby the evil qi in autumn is easy to invade the lung, which is manifested by the abnormal function of the lung’s promotion, descending and water delivery. When the lung passes through the nose, the symptoms of sneezing and nasal congestion are more obvious. Xiaoqinglong Decoction needle has good therapeutic effect on lung loss and water transport disorder, and exogenous pathogens induce the pathogenesis of latent yin, and warm the lung and dissipate water. Based on the theory of “lung correspondence to autumn” and Xiaoqinglong Decoction in treating lung diseases, and considering connections between nose and lung, this paper discusses the mechanism of Xiaoqinglong Decoction in treating seasonal allergic rhinitis.
