Chen Wangquan, a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that there was no word "hypertension" in ancient Chinese medicine, and the methods of treating hypertension in western medicine often varied from person to person. The commonly used drugs were diuretics, vasodilators, calcium blockers, sympathetic nerve blockers and other antihypertensive drugs. Although the effect was good, some of them would cause dizziness, impotence, burnout, palpitations, cough and other side effects.

Clinically, it is also found that the main symptoms of patients with hypertension are nervousness and easy to lose their temper. Because of the rising liver fire, they often feel dizzy and thirsty, and some people will have constipation problems. The dietotherapy used by Chinese medicine to adjust physique and prevent and improve hypertension mainly focuses on strengthening the spleen and stomach, resolving phlegm and turbidity, clearing away heat and eliminating fire, and nourishing yin.
