huoxue qianyang qutan decoction

Huoxue Qianyang Qutan Decoction is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formulation developed by the Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, affiliated with the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is specifically designed to treat patients presenting with both hypertension and abdominal obesity. The formulation's name reflects its core therapeutic principles in TCM: "Huoxue" (promoting blood circulation), "Qianyang" (subduing liver Yang), and "Qutan" (eliminating phlegm). These actions are intended to address the underlying pathological syndromes of blood stasis, hyperactivity of liver Yang, and phlegm-dampness often associated with metabolic syndrome and elevated blood pressure. The decoction has been evaluated in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials to assess its clinical efficacy and safety in reducing abdominal fat and managing blood pressure.
