Syndrome-Based Treatment Strategy for Hypertension Using the Method of Raising Yang and Promoting Descent
and collateral disease, this paper identifies the dysregulation of
yang qi
ascent and descent as the core pathomechanism of hypertension. Based on clinical experience, a treatment approach centered on the method of raising
yang
and promoting descent was proposed. Clinically, three major syndrome types were identified. Firstly, deficiency of
zong qi
(ancestral
qi
)
with blood stasis, obstruction of phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis, and hyperactivity of liver
yang
. Corresponding empirical formulation,
Yizong Huoxue Decoction
(益宗活血汤) was applied to tonify
zong qi
, invigorate blood, and raise
yang
. Secondly,
Lizong Huoxue Decoction
(理宗活血汤) was used to resolve phlegm, promote
yang qi
circulation, and regulate
qi
and blood. Thirdly,
Qinggan Tongluo Decoction
(清肝通络饮) was used to clear the liver, dredge collaterals, and subdue hyperactive
yang
. For special types such as non-dipper hypertension, time-specific syndrome differentiation and treatment can be applied based on a thorough understanding of the underlying pathomechanism, aiming to provide new insights into clinical diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.
