FORMULA EXPLANATION
In Chinese medical textbooks, hypertension is predominantly associated with
ascendant liver yang hyperactivity. However, many patients with hypertension
have very few symptoms. Typically, the blood pressure must be quite high
before high blood pressure becomes symptomatic. Nonetheless, blood pressure
tends to rise with age and many patients suffer from asymptomatic hypertension.
Further, in real life, most hypertension patients manifest complex combinations
of vacuity and repletion. According to Li Dong-yuan’s yin fire theory, spleen
qi vacuity may result in ascendant liver yang hyperactivity or, at the very
least, coexist with such hyperactivity. In that case, simply downbearing
yang with heavy, yangsubduing, counterflow-downbearing medicinals (such
as Os Draconis, Long Gu, Concha Ostreae, Mu Li, Concha
Haliotidis, Shi Jue Ming, and Haemititum, Dai Zhe Shi)
may actually work against the successful lowering of the blood pressure.
According to Wang Mao-song, in those cases, one must upbear the clear yang
at the same time as clearing the liver and extinguishing wind. Upbearing
of the clear yang is generally accomplished by combining one of more spleen-fortifying
medicinals with one or more acrid, exterior-resolving medicinals. Because
the qi mechanism’s upbearing and downbearing are reflexive and depression
leads to heat and hyperactivity, upbearing of the clear leads to downbearing
of the turbid, resolution of depression, and clearing of heat via out-thrusting.
60 Capsules, 500 mg each.
Within this formula, Huang Qi, and Tai Zi Shen fortify
the spleen and supplement the qi, while Ge Gen acridly upbears
clear yang. Tai Zi Shen and Ge Gen both engender fluids,
so that acrid upbearing and out-thrusting does not damage fluids and lead
to even further yin vacuity loss of control over yang. Suan Zao Ren
and Bai Shao nourish liver blood, emolliate and relax the liver,
and quiet the spirit. Gou Teng, Tian Ma, and Bai
Ji Li level the liver and extinguish wind. Gou Teng and
Ju Hua clear the liver and drain heat. Fu Ling fortifies
the spleen, leads yang downward into the yin tract (via urination), and
quiets the spirit, Sheng Ma helps Ge Gen upbear clear
yang while also clearing heat from the stomach, and Dan Shen
and Hong Jing Tian quicken and nourish the blood and eliminates
vexation.
According to Traditional Chinese Treatment for Hypertension
by Hou Jing-lun et al. (Academy Press, Beijing, 195), Gou
Teng, Tian Ma, Ju Hua, Ge Gen, Sheng Ma, Bai Shao, Suan Zao Ren,
and Bai Ji Li a r e all known to lower blood pressure. Hong
Jing Ti a n has also been shown to lower blood pressure at the same
time as strengthening and improving heart function. Suan Zao Ren
and Dan Shen are known to be effective for treating arrhythmias,
and many patients with hypertension also suffer from arrhythmias. According
to Yan De-xin, all chronic diseases associated with aging involve at least
an element of blood stasis, and hypertension is just such a disease. This
also explains the presence of Dan Shen and Hong Jing Tian.
COMBINATIONS
If there is more marked liver blood-kidney yin vacuity, this formula may
be combined with Qi Ju Di Huang Wan (Lycium & Chrysanthemum
Rehmannia Pills). If there is yin vacuity-fire effulgence, it may be combined
with Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (Anemarrhena & Phellodendron Rehmannia
Pills). If there is concomitant constipation, it may be combined with Blue
Poppy Herbs’ Free the Flow. If heart palpitations are more severe
due to nonconstruction and malnourishment of the heart spirit complicated
by phlegm heat, it may be combined with Blue Poppy Herbs’ 11 Flavors
Warm the Gallbladder. If hypertension is due to chong and ren disharmony
associated with perimenopausal syndrome, it may be combined with Blue Poppy
Herbs’ Ultimate Immortals. If blood stasis in the chest is more pronounced
causing chest impediment symptoms, it may be combined with Dan Shen
Yin Wan (Salvia Drink Pills, a.k.a. Salvia Teapills). If phlegm turbidity
is more, it may be combined with Er Chen Wan (Two Aged [Ingredients]
Pills).

DOSAGE
Three capsules two times per day equal not less than 30g of raw medicinals.
However, because our extraction process is so much more efficient than
stovetop decoction, we believe that this amount of our extract is actually
more like the equivalent of40-60g of bulk-dispensed herbs.
