Disease Mechanism and Treatment Thought of Hypertension based on "Opening-Closing-Pivoting" Theory
In the theory of "opening-closing-pivoting", the opening and closing pivot of a portal is used as a metaphor for the operating state of human
qi
and blood. Opening, closing and pivoting are well functioned together to maintain stable blood pressure, otherwise the imbalance of
qi
, blood,
yin
and
yang
in the body occurs when any of them is abnormal, thereby causing hypertension. During treatment, it is necessary to identify the impaired state of the three functions. If the "opening" is abnormal, it should be treated to restore
qi
’s function of external defense and distribution. If the "closing" is abnormal, it is necessary to regulate the deficiency and excess state of
yang qi
and restore the storage function. For "pivoting" disorder, it should be the key to regulate the circulation of
qi
and blood. Combined with clinical symptoms, the main treatment methods such as "sweat promotion", "warming", "clearing", "purgation", "suppleme
ntation" and "harmonization" are used to restore the function of the "opening-closing-pivoting", making the blood and vessels of the body unblocked, and
qi
ascending and descending balanced, in order to achieve the effect of "moving pivot to facilitate opening and closing" and "opening and closing to transport pivot".
