With the improvement of today’s living standards, tremendous changes in diet, extensive use of food additives, severe atmospheric pollution, as well as pressures brought on by daily life and work, cardiovascular disease is affecting a growing number of the population. In fact, chest impediment has become the chief of three leading causes of death. Not only is it critically jeopardizing the health of the elderly, but its occurrence is also an increasing trend in those of younger ages. Although detection methods and drug treatments are also improving, the treatment effect is sometimes unsatisfactory.Zong Qi generated in the chest is composed of the body’s Qi and gathered in the Upper Jiao. It is also the origination point for the transmission of Ying Qi and Wei Qi throughout the body. Any anomalies in a body of Qi can cause the blockage of Zong Qi and result in chest impediment through analysis of actual clinical situations, we initiated a thorough new investigation of the causes, pathogenesis, prescription, and drugs related to chest impediment. For various causes of chest impediment including blockage and loss of functionality of Qi and the blockage of Zong Qi, we developed a summative treatment method to obtain unobstructed Qi flow; the method involves freeing Qi, using supplements, or both. This treatment will result in free-flowing Qi, unobstructed blood flow, and pain-free. |
