2. TCM treatment of tachycardia

TCM treatment of tachycardia

Tachycardia is a relatively common cardiovascular disease, which mainly refers to an adult's heart rate reaching more than 100 beats per minute. This has a relatively large impact on human health. At this time, we should understand the specific cause of the disease and then conduct regular treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine is also very effective in this regard. For example, it can be achieved through acupoint massage, Chinese medicine conditioning, etc. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Mechanism of Tongluo in treating arrhythmia

According to TCM network disease theory, arrhythmias are mainly caused by abnormalities in the cardiac pacing and conduction system, abnormal myocardial cell autonomy, and abnormal autonomic nervous function due to network deficiency. Myocardial ischemia and hypoxia caused by network stasis make network deficiency more serious, aggravating the abnormalities in the cardiac pacing and conduction system. Therefore, nourishing the collaterals, activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals can restore the blocked collaterals to a smooth state. The abundant Qi and blood in the collaterals can regulate the function of the cardiac pacemaker conduction system and the autonomic nervous system, reduce the autonomy of myocardial cells, and thus restore the disordered heart rhythm to normal.

What acupoints should be massaged for tachycardia?

(3) Press and rub the Shenmen acupoint for 1 minute.

prevention
