Premature contractions belong to the category of “palpitations” in Chinese medicine, and both proprietary Chinese medicines can treat palpitations, but the types of treatment are different, so it is not possible to make a comparison. Stabilizing Heart Pellet is used for treating palpitations that are caused by weakness of qi and yin with blood stasis, which is indicated in the instruction manual as suitable for premature beats. Pai Zi Nourishing Heart Pill focuses on tonifying qi, nourishing blood and tranquilizing the mind, and is effective in treating palpitations caused by deficiency of the heart, timidity and insufficient heart and blood.
1. Heart Stabilizing Pill uses fewer but more precise medicines: Radix Codonopsis Pilosulae tonifies qi and nourishes blood, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati (Huang Jing) nourishes yin and generates fluid, Radix Panax Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) and Gan Pine (Gan Pine) invigorate blood and promote circulation of the blood, and Amber (Oreum Vulgare) tranquilizes the mind.
Adverse reactions to this product include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, rash, and chest tightness. Slow heart rhythm and those who are allergic to this product and the ingredients contained in it are prohibited. This product should not be used in conjunction with Veratrum.
2. While Pai Zi Nourishing Heart Pill is composed of more medicines, it adopts Zhu Sha, Yuan Zhi, and Sour Zao Ren to tranquilize the mind, Astragalus and Cinnamon to warm yang and move qi, and Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong and Radix Angelicae Sinensis to tonify and invigorate blood to remove blood stasis, focusing on replenishment of qi to dissipate cold, nourishing the blood to tranquilize the mind, and improving the symptoms of deficiency and coldness of the heart, palpitation with easy startling, insomnia with excessive sleepiness, and amnesia. Adverse reactions and contraindications are not known.
If premature beats occur, please seek medical advice promptly. Proprietary Chinese medicines should be used under the guidance of doctor’s diagnosis.
