In daily life, many people often feel as if there is a warm and cool cloth pressing on their chest, lacking energy, with cold hands and feet, and even their voice becomes softer. At such times, most people attribute the cause to being too tired, but in reality, it is not the case. Instead, it is because the heart yang has lost its usual vigor, and along with it, the warmth and vitality of the whole body cannot keep up.
Traditional Chinese medicine states that the heart is a yang organ, and heart yang is the "fuel" that drives the heartbeat. Only when heart yang is sufficient can blood have the strength to circulate throughout the body. Once heart yang is deficient, the fuel supply becomes insufficient, and a deficiency of qi and blood can easily lead tochest tightness, feeling of heaviness in the chest, shortness of breath with slight movement, cold hands and feet all year round, fatigue and weakness, poor appetite, pale tongue with white coating, and other conditions.
For the deficiency of heart yang, there is a highly targeted prescription—Baoyuan DecoctionIt is not like other prescriptions with a large quantity of medicine and complex compatibility, only four key medicinal materials are used.
Among them, ginseng can greatly tonify primordial qi, and qi can generate yang, delivering the qi generated by the spleen and stomach to the heart, allowing heart yang to have sufficient strength to promote blood circulation; honey-fried astragalus tonifies qi and raises yang, and when combined with ginseng, it enhances the effect of tonifying the middle jiao, as the source of nutrition still relies on the transformation and transportation of the spleen and stomach; a small amount of cinnamon warms and tonifies kidney yang, disperses cold, and unblocks the vessels, while also assisting ginseng and astragalus in promoting the circulation of qi and blood; honey-fried licorice harmonizes all the herbs, tonifies the spleen and benefits qi, moderates the warm and dry nature of ginseng and astragalus, and simultaneously enhances the overall tonifying effect of the formula.
In summary the entire formula tonifies without causing stagnation warms without causing dryness It does not make the body heat up suddenly but gradually supports the heart yang allowing it to burn steadily and stably bringing vitality to all the internal organs
Of course, to ensure that the medicine effectively treats the illness, targets the root cause, and is safe, it is necessary to consult a professional physician for syndrome differentiation and treatment. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment should be avoided to prevent the condition from worsening.
