Heart Tonifying Herbal Granule
1. In Comparison with Wetern Medicine
By Western medicine theory, coronary heart disease is due to the coronary atherosclerosis. But the very origin giving arise to latter remains unknown. So, in Western medicine theory, coronary heart disease cannot be cured at all and only continuous administration of medicine can sustain the relatively stable condition. So, many patients are dreadful every day for the possible final result. The most Western medicine, including many Chinese herbal medicine, adopt the similar mechanism to treat such disease, i..e. to expand the coronary artery. Yes, when there are tiny blockage with coronary artery, to use some medicine to expand it can quickly relieve the symptoms. But long time taking such medicine is sure to result in the loss of elasticity of coronary artery, and at last all such medicine will for sure lose all effects.
The second way to deal with coronary heart disease is coronary artery bypass. When one or more pieces of coronary artery are blocked, man-made artery can bypass the pieces blocked. But this way of treatment is expensive and dangerous, especially when there are many pieces of artery blocked or patients have the following condition as the brady- heart beat, conduction blockage or cardiac failure. In fact, Western medicine will be hopeless when such conditions emerge. To use medicine to stimulate and speed up the heart beat can relieve the problem but it can accelerate the cardiac failure further. To install heart pacemaker may be the best option, but to replace a new one every several years is a huge burden to almost every patient.
For patients with arrhythmia, Western doctors mostly would prescribe medicine to forcely regulate the heart rate. Temporarily they have the effect to rein in the unregular heart rate but they can excert very bad effect to other organs and can interrupt the autogenous regulation of whole body which can lead to the total failure at last. The prominent merits of Western medicine can be manifested when to rescue the life in the active episode. The medicine which can expand the artery can quickly save the life of the patients who have heart infarction at the urgent time. But, frequently taking the medicine can bring about dreadful results. So, the Western medicine really cannot solve all problem and their side effects are serious, most of the time.

If there is the cases of depression of liver qi, or smooth flow of qi, or qi stagnation and blood stasis, then the static obstruction of heart meridians will emerge causing the chest distress and pain. If such case arises as heat resulting from qi depression or damp heat heaping up, they can embarrass the heart-spirit, causing vexation, irritability, headache, insomnia.
