As we age, blood vessel congestion becomes a health hazard, triggeringThere are many diseases such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and even cerebral infarction. One of the most intractable is coronary heart disease, often referred to as the "silent killer".。This article will provide an in-depth explanation of the pathogenesis of this disease and TCM coping strategies.
Coronary heart disease, i.e. coronary atherosclerosisTo put it simply, it is the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, which leads to obstruction of blood flow and insufficient blood supply to the heart, and then manifests the symptoms of insufficient oxygen supply to the myocardium. In the early stage of the disease, the patient's symptoms are usually not very significant, and they will not be detected until the condition deteriorates to severe stages such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc., which is greatly more difficult, so early prevention is crucial.
Regarding TCM preventive measures, we will introduce three Chinese herbal medicines that can effectively prevent and treat coronary heart disease and ensure the smooth flow of blood vessels.
The first to appear is Chuanxiong. According to the Pharmacopoeia,Chuanxiong is classified as a blood circulation and blood stasis reliever. Its characteristics are spicy and warm, and it can penetrate quickly, reaching the head and down to the abdomen, so it is praised as "the medicine of qi in the blood".
Chuanxiong contains the ingredient of Chuanxiong, which has excellent ability to widen coronary blood vessels, can improve coronary blood flow, and effectively improve myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. In Li Shizhen's book "Compendium of Materia Medica", Chuanxiong is described as follows: "Chuanxiong is a medicine for blood qi, liver depression and depression, suitable for relieving it;People who are deficient in qi and blood can also use it to nourish their blood and resolve qi depression. This passage clearly points out that Chuanxiong has the effect of invigorating blood and qi, and is suitable for heart disease caused by lack of qi and blood or qi depression.
Clinical practice has proved that Chuanxiong is often used in combination with other drugs that invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis and regulate qi to enhance its best effect. As one of the common medicines for coronary heart disease, the main ingredient of fast-acting heart pills includes Chuanxiong.
Next is the second Chinese medicine I want to introduce, which is Panax notoginseng. Panax notoginseng is famous for its rhizomes that can be used as medicine, upholding the effect of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, invigorating blood and fixing pain. For patients with coronary heart disease, Panax notoginseng can effectively alleviate the pain caused by blood stasis.
Panax notoginseng can not only dissolve blood stasis, but also has the function of replenishing qi and blood. According to the record in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", "ginseng notoginseng ranks first in replenishing qi, and notoginseng notoginseng wins the championship", emphasizing the unique advantages of notoginseng in the field of blood supplementation. Panax notoginseng can improve blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, so it is of great help to patients with coronary heart disease with myocardial ischemia and hypoxia.
Finally, we want to analyze salvia. Salvia has a sweet and bitter taste and a slightly cold nature. It has the effect of invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, dispelling stasis and relieving pain, relieving annoyance and calming the nerves. The blood-invigorating function of salvia miltiorrhiza can effectively prevent arteriosclerosis and prevent coronary heart disease. Moreover, salvia enjoys"A taste of salvia powder, the same as the soup of four things"reputation. Siwu Tang is a well-known blood nourishing formula. It can be seen that the blood tonic effect of salvia single herb is excellent. In addition, salvia also has the effect of clearing the heart and removing troubles, calming the soul and calming the nerves, which helps to relieve the discomfort of insomnia and palpitation in patients with coronary heart disease.
Although the above three Chinese herbal medicines have obvious effects on the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease, they still need to be used with a variety of drugs under the guidance of professional doctors, according to the actual condition and constitution of the patient, in order to achieve the best curative effect. However, vascular congestion does not occur in the short term, but is the cumulative result of uncontrolled daily diet and lack of exercise.
Therefore, we should pay attention to regular eating and daily life, appropriate exercise and regular physical check-ups. All of these are of great help in the prevention of coronary heart disease.
