In the case of insufficient heart yang, warming and tonifying the heart yang, clearing the veins and stabilizing palpitation are the treatment principles, and Ginseng Si-Reversal Tang combined with Gui Zhi, Licorice and Dragon Bone and Oyster Soup is used. For heart and kidney yang deficiency, warming and tonifying the heart and kidneys, warming yang and promoting water circulation (replenishing yang qi in the body and promoting water circulation) are the treatment principles, using ginseng and sorrel soup combined with zhenwu soup. Qi and yin deficiency is treated by nourishing qi and yin, nourishing the heart and clearing the veins, and the formula is Roasted Licorice Soup.
The treatment of phlegm obstruction is to regulate qi and resolve phlegm, nourish the heart and open the veins, and use Phlegm Cleansing Tang.
