Abstract:
Vasovagal syncope is the common type of unexplained syncope,and non-drug therapy is the primary method for its treatment.Till now,there are obvious limitations of western medicine treatment.Vasovagal syncope can be attributed to the category of"syncope syndrome"in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.Professor Wu Wei believes that the fundamental pathogenesis of vasovagal syncope is due to the failure of spleen yang in ascending,and the therapeutic method is to elevate and flourish spleen yang.Professor Wu established the basic formula for elevating spleen yang,which is maily composed of Astragali Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Codonopsis Radix,Fici Simplicissimae Radix,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium,Bupleuri Radix,salt-prepared Eucommiae Cortex,wine-prepared Corni Fructus,Psoraleae Fructus,Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata,Paeoniae Radix Alba and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens.The formula has the primary actions of elevating and flourishing spleen yang,and also has the auxiliary effect on nourishing heart,soothing liver and warming kidney.The treatment of vasovagal syncope using the method of elevating and flourishing spleen yang by Professor Wu Wei has achieved satisfactory efficacy,and his experience can provide a reference for the clinical treatment of vasovagal syncope with Chinese medicine.
