Abstract:
This article put forward the ‘heart-kidney centric theory’ on basis of analyzing the physiologic function, pathomechanism, onset rules and measures of prevention and treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and degenerative disease induced by kidney deficiency. According the new theory, a new TCM drug, the Tongmai Qiangshen Wine, was developed.In human body, kidney produces essential qi and produces energy source for human body; heart transports the essential qi and is the physiologic mechanism of transport of energy source. Deficiency of essential qi will result in stasis of blood vessel, on the other hand, stasis of blood vessel can cause defi ciency of essential qi. The opposition, mutual rooting, waxing and waning, mutual convertibility of them reflect the development rules of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and degenerative disease induced by kidney deficiency, and determin the vital process of birth, growth, adult, aging and death. The construction of heart-kidney centric theory and the development and application of Tongmai Qiangshen Wine not only provide new theory and model for prevention and treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and degenerative disease induced by kidney deficiency, but also provide new thoughts for preparation of new TCM drugs from aspects of how to maintain the feature of TCM, how to inherit and create on basis of combing holism with disease, principle, method, medicines.
