Abstract：Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis considered within the scope of lung atrophy and lung impediment in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).From the perspective of excess evil causing diseases,a review of ancient and modern literature reveals that this disease is closely related to the accumulation of blood stasis and toxins.Based on clinical practice,the disease cause of this disease can be explained from the perspective of"lung heat and collateral stasis",which runs through the entire course of the disease.Under the guidance of the theory of"stasis toxins"in TCM,this paper explores the disease from the perspective of integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine,taking clearing heat,detoxifying and unblocking collaterals as the primary principles of treatment,and making differential diagnosis and treatment based on clinical symptoms,achieving remarkable results.
