The application of flower medicine in treating hypertension based on the Xuanfu theory
Hypertension is a group of cardiovascular syndromes characterized by continuous increase of systemic arterial blood pressure.Its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood,and it is still a hot and difficult point in clinical research.Xuanfu(玄府)is a common and widely distributed microstructure in the human body.It is the portal of Qi(气)and blood,body fluid,Rongwei(荣卫),and spirit of the human body.The Xuanfu theory originated from Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》),and was gradually improved based on the efforts of doctors in the past dynasties.Finally,it was sublimated by LIU Wansu,a TCM master in the Jin-Yuan Dynasties,which set a precedent for traditional Chinese medicine to understand human physiology and pathology from a micro perspective.In physiology,the Xuanfu theory emphasizes taking unobstruction as the normal functional activity of Xuanfu;in pathology,it is believed that Xuanfu obstruction is the root of many diseases.Xuanfu occlusion leads to the dysfunction of Zangfu organs(脏腑),or the accumulation of Qi and blood,or the imbalance of Yin(阴)and Yang(阳),and the disorder of spirit,which can lead to increased arterial blood flow resistance.It is the key pathogenesis of hypertension.Under the guidance of the Xuanfu theory,the TCM pathogenesis of hypertension is explained from the five aspects of liver Xuan(玄)huo(fire)closed,heart Xuan stasis closed,spleen Xuan turbid toxin closed,lung Xuan sweat closed,and brain Xuan spirit closed in this paper.Flower medicine has the characteristics of aromatic and penetrating,is light and scattered,and has the same physiological characteristics of taking unobstruction as the normal functional activity of Xuanfu,which can not only promote the opening of Xuanfu on the surface of muscles,but also unblock the stagnation of Xuanfu of Zangfu organs.The treatment is based on the theory of opening Xuanfu as the outline of treatment,and the action mechanism of flower medicine on hypertension is expounded in this paper from the perspectives of calming liver and purging fire to open liver Xuan,promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to open heart Xuan,ascending clear and discharging turbidity to open spleen Xuan,expelling wind and clearing heat to open lung Xuan,and tranquilizing mind and relieving depression to open brain Xuan.The author calls it five methods of flower medicine opening Xuan,in order to provide new clinical ideas for TCM prevention and treatment of hypertension.
