This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xiuxia's clinical experience in treating hyperprolactinemia using the liver soothing therapy. Professor WANG identifies liver
qi
stagnation and rebellious
chong qi
(冲气) as the core pathomechanisms of hyperprolactinemia. Furthermore, liver
qi
stagnation may transform into fire or lead to pathological changes such as spleen deficiency with phlegm obstruction or kidney deficiency with essence depletion. The treatment strategy centers on soothing the liver, with a modified version of
Qinggan Jieyu Decoction
(清肝解郁汤) as the base formula. Depending on different syndrome patterns such as liver stagnation transforming into fire, liver stagnation with spleen deficiency, or liver stagnation with kidney deficiency, heat clearing, spleen strengthening, or kidney tonifying herbs are added accordingly. In addition, three paired herb combinations are commonly used for symptom specific treatment, Danggui (
Angelica sinensis
) with Chuanxiong (
Ligusticum chuanxiong
), Zelan (
Lycopus lucidus
) with Yimucao (
Leonurus japonicus
) , and Jiegeng (
Platycodon grandiflorus
) with Zisu (
Perilla frutescens
).
