Abstract：The clauses related to phlegm and fluid retention in Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases reflect the dynamic characteristics of the pathogenic factors of phlegm and fluid retention.For example,the flowing of phlegm and fluid retention in the body can cause movement,trembling,and shaking symptoms;the upward invasion of phlegm and fluid retention to the heart orifices can cause palpitations and restlessness;the upward rush of phlegm and fluid retention to the brain orifices can cause dizziness and difficulty in standing,etc.The characteristics of essential tremor(ET),such as limb tremors,sudden onset and cessation of symptoms,repeated illness,and lingering condition,are consistent with the dynamic characteristics of phlegm and fluid retention.Therefore,clinical treatment of ET can refer to the relevant clauses on phlegm and fluid retention in Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases,aiming at eliminating phlegm and fluid retention and follow-ing the principle of"harmonization with warming medicines".In acute cases,relieve the exterior,dispel wind,and harmonize nutrient and defensive aspects.In chronic cases,support and promote simultaneously and regulate all the internal organs.
