LIU Zhiming's Clinical Experience in the Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Obesity-Related Hypertension Based on the Theory of "Eliminating Stale Qi with the Orchid Method"
This paper summarizes Professor LIU Zhiming's clinical experience in the syndrome differentiation and treatment of obesity-related hypertension based on the theory of "eliminating stale
qi
with the orchid method". It is proposed that the internal
accumulation of stale
qi
constitutes the essential pathogenesis of obesity-related hypertension. The initial triggering factors include failure of water essence to disperse, the generation of turbid
qi
, and stagnation of stale
qi
in the
sanjiao
(三焦). Key steps in disease progression involve obstruction by phlegm-dampness, the confluence of stale
qi
, and the accumulation of heat that consumes body fluids, while aggravation is mainly characte-rized by deficiency of nutritive
qi
, blood turbidity, transformation of stale
qi
into blood stasis, and erosion of the vessels and collaterals. In clinical practice, under the therapeutic principle of "applying the orchid method", a self-formulated
Liuqi Yunzhuo Decoction
(流气运浊汤) is used in the initial stage, a self-formulated
Yujing Huachen Decoction
(育精化陈汤) in the recovery stage, a modified
Erchen Decoction
(二陈汤) combined with
Ganlu Drink
(甘露饮) in the progressive stage, and a self-formulated
Tuichen Sanyu Decoction
(推陈散瘀汤), with modifications, in the aggravated stage.
