LI Guolie's Experience in Treating Orthostatic Hypotension from the Perspective of "Raising the Clear and Directing the Turbid Downward"
This paper summarizes professor LI Guolie's clinical experience in treating orthostatic hypotension (OH) based on the theory of "raising the clear and directing the turbid downward". It is considered that the core pathogenesis of OH lies in the body's transition from a supine to an upright position, during which dysfunction of the middle
jiao
(焦) transformation and transportation, along with impaired pivot function, hind
ers the ascending of clear
yang
and the descending of turbid
yin
. Treatment should follow the general principle of "ascending the clear and directing the turbid downward", placing emphasis on distinguishing the primary and secondary aspects. For cases where the clear
yang
fails to ascend, the self-formulated
Li's Shengqing Jiangzhuo Decoction
(李氏升清降浊汤)is used to supplement
qi
, raise the clear, and strengthen the middle
jiao
. For cases where the turbid
yin
fails to descend, the self-formulated
Wuxiang Qingzhuo Beverage
(五香清浊饮)with modifications is applied to resolve phlegm, eliminate stasis, harmonize the middle, and descend the turbid.
