AB - Objective : One of the unique syndromes in Asian traditional medicine named 'heat entering theblood chamber(熱入血室, HEBC)' first appeared in Shanghanlun(傷寒論) and Jinguiyaolue(金匱要略) written by Zhangzhongjing(張仲景) who is the most famous doctor in ancient China.
Method : Through comparison between Huangdineijing(黃帝內經), Shanghanlun(傷寒論), Jinguiyaolue(金匱要略) and other medical texts, the correct meaning, causes and mechanisms of HEBC canbe analysed and organized to suggest new view of HEBC in modern society.
Result : This syndrome is usually occurred in women during catching cold and menstruation,accompanying alternation of chillness and fever, pseudo-malaria, delirium, raveled chest(結胸),uterine hemorrhage, etc. The main sign of this syndrome, delirium belongs to the category ofliver disease and fever in Huangdineijing(黃帝內經) which is a document more early publishedthan Shanghanlun. Although there are still many other comprehensions about what bloodchamber is, it could be the same as uterus according to Huangdineijing, it is relevant to thecontrol of menstruation and emotions, and the function of liver and thoroughfare vessel(衝脈).
Conclusion : HEBC is a syndrome exclusive to women, caused by their unique physical andpsychological characteristics. It‘s beginning can be found in Huangdineijing, and byShanghanlun and Jinguiyaolue, its concept as a single disease pattern becomesestablished. In other words, HEBC is a complex disease related to menstruation and itsrelated hormonal dysfunctions, closely related to PMS, menopausal syndrome of today.
Physical symptoms accompanied by psychological anxiety and fear is characteristic ofthis condition. Therefore gynecological approaches as well as socio-cultural issuesrelated to women in modern society must be adopted when dealing with HEBC.
