You've probably heard the words like this:'Three-seven-twenty-one, no need to see a doctor'。In our community, Panax notoginseng powder has become a staple medicine in the home of almost every person with high blood pressure. But when it comes to high blood pressure, a disease known as the 'silent killer', can we really rely on traditional Chinese medicine alone to manage it? As a doctor who has been practicing for many years, I have heard a lot of claims about the blood pressure lowering effect of Panax notoginseng powder, and I have also seen that many patients have high hopes for it. But, as a champion of science, I know we need to look beyond the legends and find the truth.
High blood pressure is not just a matter of numbers, it is related to everyone's quality of life, and even life safety.
When exploring the effect of Panax notoginseng powder on increased systemic arterial blood pressure (commonly known as hypertension), we must first understand its components. Panax notoginseng is a precious herb, and its main components include saponins, flavonoids and other active substances. These ingredients are believed by traditional medicine to have the effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and relieving pain. But can they really play a role in modern medicine?
Summary of research results
In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies on Panax notoginseng powder and blood pressure. A number of studies have pointed out that the saponins in Panax notoginseng may indirectly affect blood pressure by affecting some key physiological processes in the body, such as vasodilation and improved blood flow. However, most of these studies are preliminary, and there are no conclusive clinical trial results to support this view.
Some laboratory studies have shown that Panax notoginseng extract can reduce blood pressure in experimental animals to a certain extent, but the complexity of the human body is far greater than that of laboratory models. Therefore, these findings cannot be directly generalized to humans, and more clinical data are needed to support them.
Clinical evidence and recommendations for use
Although the blood pressure-regulating effects of Panax notoginseng powder have not been widely recognized, in practice, some patients have reported that they feel an improvement in their physical condition after taking Panax notoginseng powder. However, these subjective feelings are not sufficient as scientific evidence. It is generally accepted in the medical community that the use of any drug or supplement should be based on adequate scientific research and the advice of a medical professional.
For patients who want to manage elevated blood pressure in the systemic arteries by taking Panax notoginseng powder, we recommend consulting a medical professional first. Although there are not many reports of Panax notoginseng powder, it is possible for any supplement to interact with conventional medications or have adverse reactions to certain groups of people (e.g., pregnant women, patients who are receiving specific **).
Risk awareness and safe use
Before considering the use of Panax notoginseng powder, it is important to understand its possible risks. First of all, the quality of Panax notoginseng powder is uneven, and there may be differences in purity and ingredient content among products on the market. In addition, Panax notoginseng powder may affect blood clotting function, which can be a potential risk for patients who are taking anticoagulant medications.
Therefore, we emphasize that while traditional medicine and preliminary studies are open to the role of Panax notoginseng powder in the management of systemic arterial hypertension, patients should use it with caution and always under the guidance of medical professionals until there is more conclusive evidence.
As a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, the potential benefits of Panax notoginseng powder on increasing systemic arterial blood pressure are worthy of attention, but the current research evidence is not enough to fully affirm its effect. We recommend that patients fully evaluate the risks and benefits when considering Panax notoginseng powder as a supplement** and must do so under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Continued research and more clinical data will be key to unlocking the role of Panax notoginseng powder in the management of hypertension in the future.
Before the application of Panax notoginseng powder in the management of systemic arterial hypertension, it is important to emphasize that any supplementation should be carried out under the guidance of a medical professional. Although Panax notoginseng powder has its own unique benefits, it is by no means a substitute for traditional hypertension medications**.
