In today’s article, I want to talk to you about high blood pressure.
As the cardiovascular disease with the highest incidence rate and the largest number of patients in my country, hypertension has always attracted attention from all parties. In recent times, I have also introduced many treatment methods to you.
Today I will introduce to you a method for regulating high blood pressure. It highlights the essence of TCM treatment of hypertension, as well as the meticulous observation of the disease itself.
The composition of the recipe is as follows:
Eucommia ulmoides, mulberry, Ligustrum lucidum , white peony root, Uncaria , Achyranthes , cassia, ripe jujube kernel, salvia , orange red , tortoise shell. Decoction in water.
is a name that must have its origin. The author of this prescription is Mr. Zhao Licheng, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in southern China.
In the 1970s, Mr. Zhao studied under Mr. Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine , and became the third batch of nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine experts to inherit their academic experience. This prescription, as Master Zhao's proven prescription, has been collected in many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions monographs for future study.
In fact, the key reason why we introduce it is that it is stable, upright, and has a wide range of applications.
Speaking of high blood pressure, it is not a disease in the theory of internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine. At most, it can be regarded as a disease.
As for the real cause of this disease, the traditional medicine of the motherland mostly summarizes the reasons as insufficient liver and kidney, deficiency of yin and hyperactivity of yang.
The liver and kidney deficiency here mainly refers to the kidney essence deficiency.
Since the liver and kidneys have the same origin, kidney essence is insufficient and the liver is also insufficient. The so-called yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity are the functional imbalances of the liver and kidneys based on the insufficiency of the liver and kidneys.
What is the patient like at this time?
This is headache and dizziness, tinnitus , irritability, numbness of limbs, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, red face, red eyes, swollen eyes, insomnia and dreaminess, etc.
Once the blood pressure and blood pressure of these patients are measured, most of them will be a little high. Such patients are very common clinically.
For this large number of patients, the prescription mentioned above has a very good therapeutic effect. For everyone’s convenience, I will repeat the recipe:
Eucommia ulmoides, mulberry, ligustrum lucidum, white peony root, uncaria, achyranthes, cassia, ripe jujube kernel, salvia, orange red, turtle shell. Decoction in water.
Here, first of all, there are products that nourish the liver and kidneys. These are Eucommia ulmoides, locust and ligustrum. Among them, Eucommia ulmoides is sweet and warm in nature, and returns to the liver and kidney meridians .
"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" believes that it can nourish the middle and improve the essence, and "Compendium of Materia Medica" believes that "any deficiency of lower Jiao cannot be supplemented by Eucommia ulmoides". Therefore, it is an important medicine for nourishing the liver and kidneys.
Locust mulberry is bitter, sweet and flat in nature and belongs to the liver and kidney meridian.
" Materia Medica Seeking Truth " says that it is "named as an essential agent for nourishing kidney and blood". Ligustrum lucidum is sweet, bitter, and cool in nature, and returns to the liver and kidney meridians. It can greatly nourish kidney essence and kidney yin.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" praises: "Ligustrum lucidum has a yin smell, which is the key to removing heat and replenishing essence in the kidneys. If the kidneys are replenished, the five internal organs will be at peace, the spirit will be self-sufficient, all diseases will be gone, and the body will be fat and healthy." It should be said that the combined use of these three herbs is the root cause of the disease.
Since the liver yang is elevated and the yin does not submerge the yang, we should calm the liver yang and lower the ascending and inverse qi. What to use? Use white peony root, uncaria, cassia and tortoise shell.
Uncaria is sweet and cool in nature and flavor, and returns to the liver and pericardium meridians. It functions in clearing away heat and calming the liver, calming wind and calming convulsions. Jue Ming is a product that strongly suppresses liver yang. The tortoise shell here can nourish yin, subdue yang, nourish the kidney, and obtain the yin energy from heaven and earth.
White peony root has a bitter, sour and slightly cold nature. It returns to the liver and spleen meridians. It can nourish blood and astringe liver yin. The combination of these four herbs can reduce the liver yang Qing that is "scattering" due to insufficient liver and kidney essence.
Finally, there are four herbs, each with its own merits. These are Achyranthes bidentata, Zaoren, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Tangerine.Achyranthes bidentata, Chinese medicine practitioner has a unique understanding of it, which is to reduce the adverse effects.
What is descending inversion? We can simply understand it as reducing the qi and blood of Niluan.
In fact, for high blood pressure, traditional Chinese medicine has always regarded the disorder of qi and blood as an important causative factor.
As you can see, the introduction to the pathogenesis of hypertension in the book "Modern Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine" fully states the impact of Qi and blood reversal on abnormal blood pressure.
Achyranthes bidentata has the ability to draw blood downwards and reduce adverse effects, so its application is very necessary. As for salvia and orange, one promotes blood and the other promotes qi.
Why? This is to clear blood stasis and promote Qi. Why do we need to move Qi? Because high blood pressure lasts for a long time, Qi becomes sluggish and phlegm stasis is easily formed.
Salvia miltiorrhiza activates blood circulation and orange promotes qi, which can resolve the problem of phlegm and blood stasis.
Finally, the jujube kernel has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the liver and blood. It can effectively relieve liver yin and blood deficiency caused by liver qi stagnation and liver stagnation transforming into fire, and can also improve the sleep of patients with hypertension.
Having said so many compatibility opportunities, we just want to tell you that for the treatment of high blood pressure, the prescriptions prescribed by famous doctors above are very medically sound, the medicines are precise and suitable for a wide range of applications.
Patients with high blood pressure may wish to use it under the dialectical guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Note that you must have dialectical guidance from a Chinese medicine practitioner. If the disease is , liver and kidney yin deficiency, , and liver yang hyperactivity, this prescription can be effectively modified and applied to achieve good results.
