在中医理论中,卫气营血是温病学派用来描述疾病在不同阶段所表现的病理变化和治疗方法的体系。这一概念最早由清代医家叶天士在其著作《外感温热论》中提出,后来被广泛应用于温病的诊断与治疗。卫气营血辨证的核心思想是将温病过程分为四个阶段:卫分、气分、营分和血分,每个阶段的病变特点不同,相应的治疗方法也不同。
卫分证:这是温病的第一阶段,邪气侵袭人体后首先影响到体表的防御系统即“卫气”。卫分证的主要症状包括发热咳嗽、咳嗽气喘等上呼吸道症状,以及头痛恶风、咳嗽气喘等症状。治疗应以解表散邪为主,常用药物如银翘散、麻黄汤等。
气分证:如果病情未得到有效控制,则病邪会进一步深入到脏腑的气分层面。气分证的症状包括壮热汗出、咳嗽气喘加重、咳嗽气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘气喘
