Study on the Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease with Wind-Medicinals Based on the"Wind Rising to Generate Life"Theory
Regarding the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease(CAD),various perspectives exist among TCM practitioners.Some em-phasize blood stasis as the core mechanism,advocating for invigorating blood circulation and removing stasis.Others highlight qi stagna-tion,asserting that CAD stems from disrupted qi dynamics,necessitating qi regulation as the primary treatment.Some view dampness as a pivotal factor,advocating for warming yang and eliminating dampness.Meanwhile,others propose a wind-based perspective,suggesting that internal and external wind invading the heart meridian causes obstruction,making wind therapy an essential approach to treatment.Wind-medicinals,characterized by their light and dispersing nature,possess upward-moving and ventilating properties.They aid in uplif-ting spleen yang to clear turbidity,promoting lung qi dissemination,invigorating liver and gallbladder qi to regulate the qi movement,and assisting kidney transformation to elevate essence.In treating CAD,the strategic addition of wind-medicinals to primary drugs can en-hance therapeutic efficacy,embodying the principle of achieving significant results with minimal intervention.
