Abstract:
With the increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases,Professor WANG Yongyan has adhered to the traditional principles while embracing innovation,proposing to apply the theory of"the heart governing the spirit"to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.He emphasized that it is crucial to preserve the spirit before the onset of disease,which includes maintaining a balanced diet,regular lifestyle,avoiding excessive labor,maintaining a serene and unfettered mind,and nurturing the spirit within.For those already suffering from disease,preventing progression and deterioration requires adjusting the spirit,and skilled practitioners should first inspect the patient's spirit by examining the eyes,tongue,facial complexion,and overall physical condition.In treatment,adjusting the spirit involves distinguishing between different imbalances of qi,blood,yin,yang,cold,heat,deficiency,and excess,and employing appropriate method to calm and nourish the spirit accordingly.After the illness,nurturing the spirit is essential,including spiritual nourishment through exercise,dietary therapy,emotional therapy,and external treatments.By applying the theory of"the heart governing the spirit"throughout the prevention,treatment,and rehabilitation of cardiovascular diseases,Professor WANG Yongyan's approach effectively prevents the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases,controls their progression,inhibits deterioration,and improves the prognosis of patients.
