In modern society, many people suffer from dizziness for a long time, with slight swelling of the fingers and limbs, and a generally soft pulse. These symptoms indicate that there may be a problem with the liver and may be accompanied by phlegm fire in the body. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" mentions: "All winds are dizzy, all belong to liver wood." This quote reveals the close relationship between vertigo and the liver. For this type of dizziness, a classic prescription is Banxia Baizhu Tianma Soup, which has a significant effect on the symptoms of dizziness in traditional Chinese medicine. The younger trend of vertigo symptoms should be of concern. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the occurrence of vertigo is related to a variety of factors, such as poor diet, poor mood, excessive fatigue, long-term illness and physical weakness, etc., which lead to lack of nourishment and lack of essence and blood. The pathogenesis of vertigo is complex and is closely related to stasis and phlegm. The pathogenesis of vertigo and pathogenesis is quite complex, and various factors often affect and transform each other. Weakness of the spleen and stomach and deficiency of qi and blood can cause dizziness, and spleen deficiency can easily lead to the accumulation of moisture in the body and the formation of phlegm. The phlegm and stasis are intertwined, so that the qi in the body cannot rise and fall normally, the pure qi cannot rise, and the turbid qi cannot fall. The qi is blocked, the cerebral medulla is not adequately supplied, and the clear body is blinded, which eventually leads to the occurrence of vertigo. Therefore, for vertigo, it is necessary to consider a variety of factors, including liver problems, phlegm and fire problems, and qi and blood deficiency. In the process, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the overall conditioning, and achieves the purpose of dizziness by improving physical fitness and adjusting living habits.

Banxia Baizhu Tianma Soup, derived from "Medical Understanding", has a significant effect on vertigo caused by phlegm and stasis. This recipe is mainly composed of Banxia, Gastrodia, Poria cocos, orange red, Atractylodes macrocephalus and licorice. Among them, Banxia and Gastrodia, as Jun medicine, can calm the liver, dispel dampness, relieve dizziness, and relieve wind, and have a direct relieving effect on vertigo symptoms. The compatibility with Atractylodes macrocephalus and Poria cocos strengthens the expectorant, dampness and dampness functions of the whole formula, making the medicinal effect more comprehensive. Orange red plays a role in regulating qi and dissolving phlegm in this recipe, as the old saying goes, "to cure phlegm first cure qi, and when qi is smooth, phlegm disappears." Licorice plays the role of a mediator to ensure the balance and harmony of the medicinal effects. Zhang Zhongjing clearly pointed out in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" that phlegm drinking is one of the important factors that cause vertigo. And "Medical Mind and Headache" also recorded: "Phlegm syncope headache, chest and lungs phlegm, dizziness when moving, Banxia Atractylodes Gastrodia Soup is the main one." This fully illustrates the important position of Banxia Baizhu Tianma soup in vertigo. Modern doctors have widely used this formula in clinical practice, and the effect is generally satisfactory. However, it is worth mentioning that although there are many documents that record the recipe called "Banxia Baizhu Tianma Soup", the composition of the medicine is not exactly the same. For example, the Banxia Baizhu Tianma Soup in Li Dongyuan's recipe, although it has the same name as the recipe we are discussing now, its medicinal composition is very different. Therefore, in practical application, we must carefully distinguish to ensure that the efficacy matches the best purpose.
