Many people feel that hypertension is a chronic disease that cannot be cured, and can only be controlled through long-term medications** and lifestyle adjustments. In fact, this idea largely limits people's choice and confidence in high blood pressure.
However, we in Chinese medicine have a different view on the treatment of high blood pressure.
We believe in TCM that hypertension is generally related to the imbalance of qi and blood and the dysfunction of the internal organs in the human body. Therefore, our Chinese medicine high blood pressure is not only aimed at blood pressure itself, but also regulates various organs of the bodyAdjust holistically, so you can prevent high blood pressure from coming back**.
Recently, I had a patient with high blood pressure in my outpatient clinic. He is 58 years old. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure two years ago and has been taking antihypertensive drugs. But recently, my physical condition has been extremely poor, and a series of problems have appeared.
Recently, he has been experiencing frequent dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and bitter mouth. Frequent sweating and sometimes tinnitus. There will also be insomnia,Even if you fall asleep, you can easily be woken up, your mental state is not good, and there is no way to relieve it by taking medicine. After many inquiries from my family, they came to me for medical treatment.
Diagnosis: red tongue, yellow tongue coating, number of pulses, red face, irritability and irritability.
Judging from his symptoms, this is hypertensive liver yang. It should be caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, so it should start from nourishing yin and latent yang and nourishing the liver and kidney.
So I prescribed a prescription for him: raw malt, raw oysters, raw Hangzhou peony, white hyssop, raw keel, neem seed, Xuanshen, Yin Chen, licorice, raw ochre, raw turtle plate, and Tiandong.
After taking 6 doses, the patient told me that the symptoms of dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting were relieved, and his mental state was slowly recovering, but he still had insomnia, so I asked him to continue taking the medicine. The patient then took the medicine for more than a month, and when he came back for a follow-up visit, he said that the insomnia was no longer there, and the rest of the symptoms were flat.
Why is this so effective? This recipe is actually called Zhen Liver Quenching Wind Soup, which was created by Zhang Xichun, a medical expert in the field of modern Chinese medicine. The beauty of this formula lies in its holistic conditioning function.
Its conditioning ideas can be roughly divided into 4 steps.
The first step is to calm the liver and calm the wind
Fangzhong's Huai Ox Knee can not only invigorate blood and menstruation, nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen muscles and bones, but also lead blood downward, so that the hyperactivity of liver yang can be inhibited. Raw ochre can calm the liver and latent yang, and cooperate with the pregnant oxknee to jointly achieve the effect of calming the liver and calming the wind. Raw keel and raw oysters can be used together in clinical practice, in addition to calming the liver and latent yang, it can also calm the nerves and improve the sleep quality of patients.
The second step is to soothe the liver and regulate qi
Yin Chen can solve the damp heat phenomenon caused by liver qi congestion, and relieve the dizziness and headache of patients. Patients are often irritable and irritable, and the neem and raw malt here can help to soothe the liver and regulate qiRegulates the patient's emotional problems to help control blood pressure.
The third step is to nourish yin and kidneys
White peony nourishes the liver and softens the liver, benefits yin and latent yang; The turtle plate nourishes yin and latent yang, benefits the kidneys and strengthens the bones; Radix and A. sylvestris nourish yin and clear heat. The three work together to nourish the liver and kidneys and increase yin qi. When the yin energy is sufficient, the yang energy can be neutralizedYang Qi is no longer hyperactive, which can relieve the dizziness and headache of patients.
The fourth step is to reconcile the medicines
Finally, licorice needs to be used, which can not only reconcile the medicinal properties of so many medicinal materials, so that various medicinal materials can cooperate with each other, but also play a role in tonifying the spleen and invigorating qi, and prevent excessive medicinal properties from harming the stomach.
The above four steps can regulate patients with hypertension, which can not only calm the liver and latent yang, improve the environment in the patient's body, but also solve the patient's discomfort symptoms. It can also nourish yin and nourish the kidneys, regulate the internal mechanism for patients, and prevent blood pressure from rising again.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment. For different patients and diseases, on the basis of this prescription, the corresponding drugs can be added or subtracted, and the effect is also good. Therefore, if you have the same troubles, do not take medicine in private, you can ask a professional doctor to see it and follow the doctor's instructions for conditioning.
