Health for All says
Hypertension and coronary heart disease are two common cardiovascular diseases that pose a serious threat to human health. In TCM theory, hypertension is classified as "dizziness" and "headache", while coronary heart disease is called "heart palsy" and "angina". This article mainly introduces the precautions and maintenance methods of hypertension and coronary heart disease from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to help patients better manage their health.
The development of hypertension and coronary heart disease is closely related to many aspects of daily life. First of all, dietary habits are one of the important factors affecting hypertension and coronary heart disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the diet should be light and tasty, and avoid foods that are too salty, too oily, and too spicy. Commonly used Chinese herbs include hawthorn, poria cocos, coix seed, etc., which are rich in a variety of beneficial ingredients and can help alleviate elevated blood pressure and overburdened heart.
Secondly, moderate exercise should be paid attention to in daily life. Proper exercise is beneficial to the cardiovascular system, which can improve the body's cardiopulmonary function and improve blood circulation. Recommended exercise methods include walking, jogging, tai chi, etc., which help regulate the body's qi and blood flow, and enhance the body's endurance and disease resistance.
In addition, maintaining a good mental state in daily life is also very important for the prevention of hypertension and coronary heart disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that being too emotional or depressed can have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Therefore, it is important for patients with hypertensive coronary heart disease to maintain psychological balance. You can regulate your mood and relieve mental pressure by participating in hobbies, Tai Chi health preservation, etc.
In addition, some traditional Chinese herbal formulas also have certain efficacy in high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. For example, eight-treasure porridge is a common traditional Chinese medicine health food, which is rich in a variety of herbal ingredients, which has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, soothing the liver and nourishing the heart. You can eat this kind of traditional Chinese medicine food in moderation to play an auxiliary role.
And in daily maintenance, proper massage and acupressure care are also very beneficial. Massage stimulates blood circulation, relieves muscle fatigue and stiffness, and soothes the mind and body. In addition, TCM theories believe that there are many important acupuncture points in the human body that are related to the cardiovascular system, such as Hegu acupoint and Taichong acupoint. Regular massage of these acupuncture points can have a toning effect on the body.
In general, hypertensive coronary heart disease is a common cardiovascular disease, and the health preservation method of traditional Chinese medicine can play a certain auxiliary role. The health of the cardiovascular system can be maintained by adjusting the diet, exercising moderately, regulating the state of mind, and using some TCM herbal formulas and massaging acupuncture points. However, patients should consult with a medical professional before proceeding with any method to develop a reasonable protocol.
