Discussion on the application of tranquilizing herbs by Professor HU Zhiqiang for treating vertigo

Vertigo involves multiple system diseases,which has complicated pathophysiological mechanism.Traditional Chinese medicine pay much attention on the mental and psychological influence over the onset of vertigo,but the effect on the development and maintenance has not drawn enough attention.Professor HU Zhiqiang believes that the vestibule and emotion have some similar pathways in anatomy.And in Chinese medicine,the use of tranquilizing herbs in vertigo is based on the unity of shape and spirit theory.Prof.HU prefers to use some tranquilizing herbs for vertigo such as gastrodia elata,poria cocos,alum processed pinellia,chrysanthemum,debark peony root,atractylodes,cassia twig,salvia miltiorrhiza and thunberbg fritillary bulb,which could be categorized in 3 groups according to their functions:suppressing wind and dissipating phlegm,invigorating spleen and dissipating phlegm,and warming yang and dissipating phlegm.Tranquilizing herbs are especially suitable for the emotion-induced and lingering vertigo,which may help to expand the clinical treatment of it.
