Acute lymphangitis is usually caused by fatty and spicy food or

contamination of the skin. The former may lead to

accumulation of heat in zang-fu organs and then production of
endogenous toxicity. The latter may result in invasion of the
exogenous toxic factor and stagnation of qi and blood. It would
be dangerous if the pathogenic toxic factor is transmitted into
the meridians and the zang-fu organs. The therapeutic principle
includes clearing the heat, purging pathogenic fire and
detoxicating.
