ABSTRACT

Vertigo is a traditional Chinese medicine symptom. "Xuan" refers to blurred vision or blackness before the eyes, and "yun" refers to dizziness or even a feeling of rotation of oneself or the external scenery. They often occur simultaneously, so they are collectively called "vertigo". Hyperactivity of liver yang is the most common symptom in clinical practice. Tianma Gouteng Decoction is from the book "New Therapeutics of Miscellaneous Syndromes in Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine". It belongs to the category of wind-treating prescriptions and has the effects of calming the liver and suppressing wind, clearing heat and activating blood circulation, and tonifying the liver and kidney. It is mostly used for vertigo due to excessive liver yang and upward disturbance of liver wind. This article aims to analyze the meaning of Tianma Gouteng Decoction and review the clinical efficacy of Tianma Gouteng Decoction in the treatment of vertigo due to hyperactivity of liver yang.
