Coronary heart disease, a disease that seriously threatens human health, is widespread worldwide. As experienced TCM practitioners, we are not only able to use TCM theories, but also to quote ancient and modern prescriptions to cope with this challenge and bring new hope to patients with coronary heart disease.
Coronary heart disease is a disease caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries of the heart, mostly caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Common symptoms include chest tightness, angina, and even myocardial infarction. Traditional medicine believes that coronary heart disease is related to poor qi and blood in the body, and traditional Chinese medicine provides a new idea for coronary heart disease with its unique theoretical system.
In TCM theory, the smooth flow of the heart and veins is the key to maintaining good health. Traditional Chinese medicine ** coronary heart disease mainly starts from the following aspects: regulating qi and circulation, activating blood and removing blood stasis, replenishing deficiency and nourishing the heart.
First of all, regulate qi and channels. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of coronary heart disease is related to the poor flow of qi and blood in the body. Therefore, regulating the qi and unblocking the meridians has become one of the important methods for coronary heart disease. Among them, moxibustion** is widely used. Moxibustion stimulates the blood circulation of the meridians through thermal stimulation, eliminates blood stasis, and achieves the effect of clearing the meridians.
Secondly, it invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that coronary heart disease is mainly caused by poor blood circulation. Therefore, blood circulation and blood stasis removal have become an important means of coronary heart disease. Traditional recipes such as Taohong Siwu Soup and Xuefu Zhuyu Soup all have the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. Clinical practice has shown that these formulas can improve the blood supply to the heart muscle and alleviate the disease.
Finally, nourish the mind. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the overall balance of the body and believes that coronary heart disease is often associated with a weak heart. Therefore, replenishing deficiency and nourishing the heart has become an important means of coronary heart disease. Commonly used heart-tonifying formulas in Chinese medicine include Danshen Drink and Yangxin Pills, which can nourish the heart and improve its function.
In addition to the theories and prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, it is inseparable from the support of modern medical technology. Modern means such as cardiovascular interventional technology and coronary artery bypass surgery can help patients with coronary heart disease restore heart function and save lives. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine has formed a comprehensive program for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease.
Under the skillful hands of experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioners, the lives of many patients with coronary heart disease have been saved. With its unique theory and efficacy, traditional Chinese medicine provides new ideas and hope for coronary heart disease.
