Differentiation and Treatment of Vascular Dementia Applying the Method of Promoting Yang
It is believed that the root cause of vascular dementia lies in insufficient primal
yang
and weakness in the circulation of blood. The key pathological factors are the mutual stagnation of phlegm and blood stasis, and the obstruction of blood vessels. The general treatment principle is to tonify
qi
and promote
yang
, expel pathogenic factors, and unblock
yang
. This involves supplementing the innate and acquired
yang qi
of the spleen and kidneys, removing pathogenic factors like phlegm, turbidity, and blood stasis, in order to restore the function of
yang
qi
and promote the circulation of blood and
qi
. The basic prescription for tonifying
qi
and promoting
yang
includes Heishunpian (
Lycium Ruthenicum
), Zhichuanwu (
Aconitum Carmichaelii
), Guizhi (
Cinnamomum Cassia
), Renshen (
Panax Ginseng
), and Huangqi (
Astragalus Membranaceus
). Depending on the type of pathogenic excess, the treatment can be modified with
Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction
(通窍活血汤), adding Yujin (
Curcuma Longa
) and Xian
gfu (
Cyperus Rotundus
) to invigorate blood and promote
yang
, or with Fabanxia (
Pinellia Ternata
), Chenpi (
Citrus Reticulata
), Zhishi (
Citrus Aurantium
) plus
Sijunzi Decoction
(四君子汤) to resolve phlegm and promote
yang
. Both the root and branch are treated simultaneously. When
yang qi
is activated, blood and
qi
are nourished, and when pathogenic excess is expelled, the blood vessels are unblocked. This approach aims to provide a treatment strategy for vascular dementia.
