Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension in Children and Adolescents by Levels from the “Qi-blood-vessels and collaterals” System
In terms of the hysiological characteristics, children and adolescents are endowed with physical insufficiency and delicate vessels and collaterals, but have changes of the acquired constitution when there is gradual exuberant
qi
and blood, and when
yang
arises and
yin
grows. From the “
qi
-blood-vessels and collaterals” system, this paper discussed and summarized that based on the pathological changes of “poor endowment and unsoftened vessels and collaterals”, and the basic pathogenesis of “
qi
disease disharmony,
yang
constraint and
yin
damage, and scurrying counterflow of
qi
and blood”, hypertension in children and adolescents occurs when there is “phlegm-dampness producing heat, and having contention with
qi
”, “blood level thickening, and phlegm and stasis binding”, and thereafter “damaged vessels and collaterals, and long-term accumulation”. It is proposed to treat from three levels of
qi
, blood, and vessels and collaterals, and take “harmonizing
qi
and blood, unblocking and supplementing the vessels and colla-terals” as the general principle. It is advised to rectify
qi
and diffuse constraint, harmonize
yin
and
yang
for
qi
level diseases, move stasis and remove phlegm, activate and nourish blood for blood level diseases, and unblock vessels and collaterals, and protect original
qi
in terms of vessels and collaterals diseases. Additionally, it is emphasized to “regulate the endowment, nourish deficiency and rectify the abnormal, nourish body and vessels” throughout the treatment.
