WEI Zixiao's experience in treating endocrine psychosomatic diseases by tranquilizing and stabilizing mind
Professor WEI Zixiao believes that endocrine psychosomatic diseases are closely related to the heart, liver, spleen, and kidney. The basic pathogenesis includes liver depression and
qi
stagnation, leading to dysfunction of the vital spirit; internal generation of phlegm-heat, which disturbs the vital spirit; and disconnection between the heart and kidney, resulting in a restless mind that fails to settle. In clinical practice, he is skilled in using methods to tranquilize and stabilize the mind, often applying classical formulas such as
Xiaoyao Powder
,
Huanglian Wendan Decoction
, and
Huanglian Ejiao Decoction
, while also preparing his own medicinal formulas for tranquilizing and stabilizing the mind. He emphasizes intervening in the underlying disease mechanisms and, combined with psychological guidance to harmonize the mind and body and improve emotional states, achieves favorable clinical outcomes in the treatment of endocrine metabolic diseases.
