People are old, the risk of cardiovascular problems will gradually increase, especially atherosclerotic plaques, coronary heart disease and other issues, is a common health problem for many middle-aged and elderly friends, whenever they encounter such a problem, many friends hope to be able to control the risk of cardiovascular disease through an "effective and safe" way, so many netizens have raised such a question -
"Unclogging blood vessels, which is better?"
With this topic that netizens and friends care about, today's popular science article, let's talk to you about unclogging blood vessels, as well as the rational application of salvia and sanchi.
Unclogging blood vessels is a false proposition in itself
Before talking about the medicinal effects of salvia and panax notoginseng in cardiovascular diseases, we should first clarify a misunderstanding: unclogging blood vessels is itself a false proposition!
We will have such elderly friends around us, always trying to do everything possible to "unclog blood vessels", some believe that infusion can dredge blood vessels, will be infused regularly every year to dredge blood vessels, and some believe that some dietary therapy methods or herbs can dredge blood vessels, so they have been insisting on eating, and some bad businesses see the desire of the elderly to unclog blood vessels, make exaggerated publicity on certain products, and fool the elderly into buying some high-priced health care products.
If we can understand the real cause and real situation of hardening of the elderly, we will understand that these so-called health care products, infusions and other methods cannot achieve the effect of "unclogging blood vessels".
The reason why the elderly have the problem of atherosclerosis is closely related to the related effects of age growth, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other chronic diseases, as well as the influence of adverse life factors such as smoking and obesity, under the influence of these factors, the smooth muscle of blood vessels gradually appears to age, the elasticity decreases, because of the inflammatory reaction, the endothelial cells of the vascular wall are damaged, affecting the flow of blood, the accumulation of lipids, and then forming atherosclerotic plaques, resulting in the aggravation of the degree of hardening of the arteries and the narrowing of local blood vessels. It is the real cause of hardening and narrowing of the blood vessels, and the physiological changes in the blood vessels and the formation of plaques on the walls of the blood vessels,
And by eating more food, or infusion of sodium chloride or glucose injection, eating a certain herb, or eating a certain health care product, it can not change the aging changes of blood vessels, nor can it prevent the impact of the three highs on the health of blood vessels, and it is impossible to "clean" the plaque formed under the endothelium of the blood vessel wall, so the desire to "unclog the blood vessels" through various methods is wonderful, but the reality is that we should improve and control the progress by actively controlling the related risk chronic diseases and risk factors for the hardened and narrow blood vessels. It is impossible to simply take a certain medicinal herb, such as salvia or panax notoginseng, to play a role in unclogging blood vessels and cleaning up garbage.
Salvia officinalis and Panax notoginseng are both cardiovascular medicines with different effects
In the traditional Chinese herbal medicines of the mainland, salvia and sanchi are common drugs used for cardiovascular diseases, and the relevant compound proprietary Chinese medicines matched by these two medicinal materials are also common drugs used for the treatment of coronary heart disease, such as compound salvia tablets, danchi tablets, compound salvia drop pills, etc. Among these drugs, they are mainly proprietary Chinese medicines with danshen and sanchi as the main components, so in terms of controlling atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease risk, what is the role of salvia and sanchi? Let's introduce them to you separately.
01 Salvia
Salvia is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, which was first published in the Shennong Materia Medica: although it has a ginseng name, its blood tonic power is insufficient, and the power of living blood is more than enough. Different from other ginseng, salvia is slightly cold, bitter taste, mainly into the pericardial meridian and liver meridian, has the effect of regulating menstrual blood, relieving pain and dispelling stasis, cooling blood and removing troubles, calming the mind and calming the heart, and has many clinical applications for blood stasis pain, including angina, abdominal pain, rheumatism and so on. In the Qing Dynasty, the "Materia Medica" also pointed out: "Participating in the cultivation of the gods and fixing the will, the blood of tongli, there is a divine experience." ”
In modern pharmacological research, the main active ingredient of salvia is mainly various types of salvia ketone, and its pharmacological effect is mainly reflected in the improvement of coronary artery blood circulation, improvement of myocardial ischemia, anti-atherosclerosis and other aspects, there are many animal experimental studies and clinical trials, the important role of salvia for cardiovascular health has been explained and proved.
Therefore, through the above introduction, we can understand that the main role of danshen for cardiovascular health is to tonify the blood veins, dispel stasis and relieve pain, as contained in the "Materia Medica Justice": danshen, specializing in human blood, its function lies in the activation of blood, the internal organs and the reduction of stasis. In addition, it enters the liver meridian, has the power of breaking the qi and dispersing the knot, can help the qi machine to adjust smoothly, and the qi line is bloody, so in terms of cardiovascular disease, for improving the coronary heart disease angina of the qi stagnation blood stasis type, danshen is one of the symptomatic drugs.
02 Three Seven
Compared with salvia, Sanqi is also a famous Chinese herbal medicine, especially in recent years, the popularity of Sanqi powder, many elderly friends are taking Sanchi powder for a long time. Panax notoginseng usually refers to the root of the ginseng plant Sanchi of the Five Plus family, Sanchi was first used for bruises, external application and internal administration has the effect of activating blood stasis, hemostasis and pain relief, the famous hemostasis Chinese medicine Yunnan Baiyao, there are medicinal ingredients of Sanchi, and in terms of cardiovascular treatment, the blood activation and stasis effect of Sanchi can also play a role in activating blood, improving myocardial ischemia, and improving coronary heart disease angina.
In the "New Edition of the Compendium of Materia Medica", it is pointed out that "three seven roots, the divine medicine of hemostasis, whether it is the blood of the upper, middle and lower, where there is an external transgression, blindly use it alone, and adding tonic blood is more divine", while the "Yu Tu Yao Medicinal Solution" points out that the three seven have the effect of stopping the bleeding and the stasis of the veins, all the bruises are broken, and all the new blood is stopped.
Modern pharmacological research has proved that the main active ingredient of Panax notoginseng in cardiovascular aspects is a variety of panax notoginseng saponins, these active ingredients can effectively improve the microvascular blood vessels of the coronary arteries, improve the oxygen consumption of the myocardium, and at the same time have a certain anticoagulant effect of inhibiting the aggregation of coagulated substances, so in improving coronary heart disease angina and preventing thrombosis, Panax notoginseng is also a common conditioning herb.
Salvia and Panax notoginseng as two flavors in the field of cardiovascular disease prevention and control commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, the two are compatible, can play a role in activating blood stasis, improving angina, preventing thrombotic risk, etc., therefore, we mentioned earlier in a variety of proprietary Chinese medicines also use the compatibility of these two drugs, so for the market to sell danshen powder, sanchi powder, can it be taken for a long time?
Although from the role and taste of the drug, salvia and sanchi for coronary heart disease angina and other cardiovascular health problems, may have a certain benefit effect, but as a Chinese herbal medicine, the rational application of the drug, or should be clearly used under the premise of dialectical use, whether it is danshen or sanchi, or the combination of the two, they are applicable to the population, are stagnant blood stasis type, belongs to the cardiovascular disease patients with chest paralysis problems, and if it is other types of cardiovascular disease patients, long-term use of these two medicinal materials, It may not be able to play a good conditioning and improvement effect, especially some of the friends whose constitution is not suitable for using these two medicinal materials, and should pay attention not to use it indiscriminately, such as spleen and stomach deficiency, friends whose stool is not formed, they are not suitable for taking danshen, and in the case of blood fever, it is not suitable to take Panax notch.
For the problem of whether it can be taken for a long time, there are two points that should be paid special attention to, salvia cold, should not be taken for a long time, usually the cycle of taking is generally 1 to 2 months, and for Sanchi, if the symptomatic situation, long-term use has little impact, another point to note is that do not use danshen or Sanqi soaking water to drink, stop other cardiovascular conventional treatment preventive drugs, antihypertensive drugs, drugs to control coronary heart disease, thrombosis related drugs, should not be stopped at will, Otherwise, there may be greater risks.
