Sudden heart palpitations that take time to subside when pressing on the chest.
Frequent unexplained feelings of depression and anxiety.
Dark circles under the eyes and pronounced color on the outer cheeks.
These small details are all distress signals from your heart! Come learn how to regulate your heart with Master Wang Qingguo~
01
Heart Yang Must Be Sufficient
Only then Can Heart Function Be Strong
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the heart governs blood vessels and consciousness, with Heart Yang driving blood flow throughout the body.
Each of its functions has an active, upward attribute, making it the most Yang organ.
Cardiovascular diseases often lead to heart failure in later stages, which is referred to in TCM as “Heart Yang Deficiency.” At this point, insufficient Yang energy results in poor blood circulation, leading to vascular blockages.
Based on the characteristics of the organs, Master Wang Qingguo concludes: Nourishing the heart requires warming Yang first.
Three Medicines to Warm Yang and Tonify Qi
In decades of treating cardiovascular diseases, Master Wang often uses five primary herbs, three of which are for tonifying Qi and warming Yang.
They are: Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-Fried Licorice), Huang Qi (Astragalus), Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig).
These three herbs combined can warm and promote Heart Yang, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, increase myocardial contractility, and enhance coronary blood supply.
If you experience symptoms of Heart Yang deficiency such as chest tightness, palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue, you can try the decoction and drink recommended by Master Wang.
Gui Zhi Gan Cao Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Licorice Decoction)
Ingredients:Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig), Gan Cao (Licorice).Specific dosages should follow medical advice.
Modifications:If there are symptoms of sighing or shortness of breath, add Huang Qi (Astragalus). If there are symptoms of coldness in the back, sweating, and fear of wind, increase the dosage of Huang Qi.

02
Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra): Calming the Heart and Settling the Spirit
The heart and spirit are interrelated.
Many individuals with cardiovascular diseases exhibit symptoms of restlessness: irritability, insomnia, anxiety.
Similarly, patients with depression and anxiety are more prone to cardiovascular diseases.
In his years of clinical practice, Master Wang often uses Wu Wei Zi to address these emotional issues.
If patients also have symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, and physical weakness, it is even more suitable.

03
Fu Ling (Poria): Resolving Phlegm-Dampness and Unblocking Blood Vessels
For patients already experiencing cardiovascular obstruction, the priority is to unblock blood vessels.
Master Wang often uses Fu Ling to unblock blood vessels.
TCM believes that the formation of plaques in blood vessels is due to abnormal water metabolism, which condenses into phlegm.
Fu Ling can promote urination, resolve dampness, and eliminate phlegm, blocking the generation of pathological products and removing already formed phlegm and fluid evil. This allows Heart Yang to have a chance to revive.
Master Wang often combines Fu Ling with Gui Zhi to treat “water heart disease.”
