Mao Dexi's Experience of Treating Arrhythmia with Palpitation Eight-Ingredient Decoction
The etiology and pathogenesis of arrhythmia are mostly because of deficiency and excess.Deficiency refers to qi,blood,yin and yang deficiency,while excess refers to phlegm fire,fluid retention,and blood stasis,etc,which block the heart pulse.Professor Mao Dexi believes that the pathogenesis of arrhythmia is mainly qi deficiency and blood stasis,with qi deficiency as the root cause and blood stasis as the manifestation,combined with phlegm fire,fluid retention and other syndromes.Professor Mao adopts the method of tonifying deficiency and removing excess,especially pays attention to replenishing qi and activating blood,so he has developed Palpitation Eight-Ingredient Decoction.The formula has the effects of nourishing qi and blood,activating blood and removing stasis,calming the mind and relieving palpitations.It can be used with modifications according to clinical symptoms and has excellent therapeutic effects.For those with obvious phlegm dampness,Fuling(Poria),Juhong(Exocarpium Citri Rubrum),and Foshou(Fructus Citri Sarcodactylis)can be added to dry dampness and resolve phlegm.For those with severe blood stasis,Sumu(Caesalpinia sappan Linn),Hongjingtian(Herba Rhodiolae),and Chashugen(Camellia sinensis)can be added to activate blood and remove blood stasis;For those who suffer from rest-lessness and insomnia,Yejiaoteng(Caulis Polygoni Multiflori),Hehuanpi(Cortex Albiziae)and Fushen(Sclerotium Poriae Pararadi-cis)can be added to calm the heart and mind.
