Abstract:
It is believed that qi and blood disharmony is the key pathogenesis of essential hypertension， for which mildly regulating qi and blood is recommended. According to the different pathological states and related causes of qi and blood disorders， essential hypertension can be divided into five syndrome types for differentiation and treatment. In terms of blood deficiency and liver constraint， it is recommended to nourish the blood and soften the liver， rectify qi to resolve constraint， using Xiao Yao Powder （逍遥散） or self-made Qihua Jieyu Decoction （七花解郁汤）. For qi stagnation and blood stasis， the method of regulating qi and harmonizing blood， dissolving stasis and unblocking collaterals should be used， with self-made Guitao Tongluo Decoction （桂桃通络汤）. For phlegm-dampness internal obstruction， it is recommended to move qi and promote urination， dissolve phlegm and eliminate dampness， using self-made Zhuanqi Sanzhuo Formula （转气散浊方）. For binding of phlegm and stasis， dissolving phlegm and dispelling stasis， dredging the bowels and directing the turbid downward is advised， and self-made Sanren Tiaozhi Formula （三仁调脂方） can be used. In terms of deficiency of both qi and blood， it is recommended to boost qi and nourish blood， supplement deficiency and consolidate the root， using Gui Pi Decoction （归脾汤） or self-made Shenqi Zaizao Decoction （参芪再造汤）.
