What are the herbal remedies for dilated cardiomyopathy?

The Chinese medicine regimen for dilated cardiomyopathy can be different depending on the type of evidence, including tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi pill, sparing the chisel drink, wuling san pill, and jin gui ren qi pill. The main symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy are shortness of breath and lower limb edema. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, shortness of breath is mainly due to the sinking of the middle qi (deficiency of the spleen and stomach qi, with manifestations such as the falling of the internal organs), so those with dilated cardiomyopathy with shortness of breath as the main symptom can take tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi pill. The edema symptom of dilated cardiomyopathy belongs to the category of dampness-heat or spleen-kidney yang deficiency (deficiency of yang qi in the spleen and kidneys) from the perspective of Chinese medicine. When edema is accompanied by irritable heat (irritability and sultriness), thirst, dry stools, yellow moss, and a heavy pulse, it can be regulated with Shuozhi Drink. When edema is accompanied by coldness, lumbago and leg weakness, panic and shortness of breath, pale tongue, and sluggish pulse, Jin Gui Ren Qi Wan can be taken. If the symptoms of lumbago and leg weakness are not obvious, take Wu Ling San Pill. The above Chinese herbal prescriptions should be chosen by a Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be taken privately to avoid adverse consequences.
