The opinions of experts on "Study on Anti-aging with Bazi Bushen Capsules 
Guided by Qi Collateral Theory" were released in Shijiazhuang, Hebei on 
December 15.

According to the opinions, the preliminary research of the project has created 
the theory of essence, qi and spirit based on the qi collateral theory for the 
first time, and formed a new idea for study on anti-aging. Yiling 
Pharmaceutical researched and developed a patented traditional Chinese medicine 
"Bazi Bushen Capsules", this medicine is expected to become a representative 
Chinese patent medicine for anti-aging effect of TCM.

As pointed out by their opinions, aging not only refers to the decline of body 
function, but also is one of the important pathogenic factors resulting in 
multisystem senile diseases. The aging mechanism and the traditionally 
recognized risk factors of diseases affect each other, and jointly play a role 
in the pathological and physiological process in the onset and development of 
senile diseases, which thus severely threaten the health and lives of people.

Based on the theory of essence, qi and spirit, this study has learnt from the 
excellent TCM practices in medication for over two thousand years. Bazi Bushen 
Capsules as a whole can prevent aging by tonifying essence to boost qi, 
replenishing qi to boost spirit, and nourishing body and spirit. As proved by 
the preliminary experiments and clinical studies, the Bazi Bushen Capsules 
feature the advantages in preventing and treating overall aging, systemic aging 
and aging-related diseases.

As shown by the opinions, for the next step, the proposed study plan will focus 
on the TCM from the literature, basic and clinical researches for 
implementation of interdisciplinary researches. It proposes to interpret the 
scientific connotation of the theory of essence, qi and spirit based on qi 
collateral theory and the anti-aging mechanism from overall, systematic, organ, 
cell and other levels, and tries hard to make clear the role of the mutual 
influence between aging mechanism and risk factors in the onset of senile 
diseases. In addition, it should also propose new strategies for the prevention 
and treatment of premature senility and the intervention in diseases induced by 
premature senility, and provide new theories and ideas for prevention and 
treatment of senile diseases, which will be of great scientific value and 
strategic significance in facilitating longevity with quality of life.
