Use of the recipe according to traditional Chinese medicine:

-withdraws Yang rising from Liver, settles Liver

-clears heat and damp heat from Liver and Gallbladder

-stirs up the blood and blockages

-nourishes Yin and Blood

Description:

A modern blend that again carries its use in its name: The Pressure Lowering Pill. Hence it is also used in hypertension, at the root of which is the excess images of the Liver - the rise of Liver Yang from the insufficiency of Yin to anchor it or of Blood to soften the Liver.

When the Yang rises, instead of the Liver sending the Qi up "decently" in its cycle - without an anchor, the Yang skyrockets and manifests as dizziness and vertigo, headaches, increased blood pressure, pressure behind the eyes, stiff neck and trapezius, insomnia and irritability. When the Liver does not have enough blood, it is "hard" , it does not pass. There is a blockage, and where there is a blockage, heat builds up, which naturally rises up again. The symptoms are very similar, only they are even more "hot": redness in the cheeks or red eyes that burn are added. The character of the headaches also changes, which are expanding, as if our head were about to burst, and sometimes we hear an anvil-like throbbing in our head.

In the mixture, about 20% of the herbs settle the Yang and another 20% purify the heat in the blood. The others then stir and replenish the blood and Yin and purify other sources of heat. Some of them, such as gardenia, gentian, black horehound and yerlina have direct antihypertensive action.

The mixture is thus extremely effective, especially in the beginning of hypertension, when it is not yet "fixed" in the blood vessels.
