Speaking of high blood pressure, everyone is familiar with it, especially the elderly, more than half of the 10 people have high blood pressure, once they have high blood pressure, they can no longer do without blood pressure drugs, and lifelong medication is a big burden for many people.
Is there a better way to treat high blood pressure in Chinese medicine? What is high blood pressure in Chinese medicine?
In traditional Chinese medicine, the word hypertension does not exist, it refers to headaches and dizziness. There are many types of hypertension, and today we are talking about phlegm-damp hypertension. Because this type of hypertension is more common, it is also closely related to our lifestyle habits.
People like them usually can't control their mouths, send everything to their mouths, often eat some greasy, spicy food, add meals at any time when they are hungry in the middle of the night, hot pot, barbecue, spicy hot pot is not the same, and they go to sleep without exercise after eating, resulting in an increase in the burden on the spleen and stomach, we all know that the spleen and stomach are responsible for transport, if the spleen is deficient, the transport function will decline and the water will accumulate, and then form phlegm dampness, phlegm dampness is heavy and sticky, like bubble gum, where to go, where to stick, so that the blood can not flow, the pressure on the blood vessels is increasing, and finally high blood pressure is formed.
At this time, what should we do?
Recommend a recipe consisting of tangerine peel, banxia, poria cocos, boiled licorice, white mustard seeds, perilla seeds, sulforaphane seeds, gastrodia, and vitex seeds.
Among them, tangerine peel, banxia, poria cocos, and boiled licorice can strengthen the spleen, dryness and dampness and dissolve phlegm, but the strength is not enough, so it needs to be combined with other drugs to strengthen the phlegm dissipation strength, white mustard seeds to warm the lungs and dissolve phlegm, perilla seeds to reduce gas and phlegm, sulforaphane seeds to lower the qi and dispel phlegm, and then use gastrodia to calm the liver and quench wind, latent yang to lower blood pressure, vitex seeds to clear wind and heat, clear the head, and stop dizziness.
The three-pronged approach has effectively alleviated hypertension, but there are many types of hypertension, and what we are talking about today is just one of them.
