3 years ago, the 68-year-old Uncle Zhang was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but at first he did not care much, often did not take medicine on time, diet was not restrained, the result almost occurred cerebral infarction, after treatment and discharge, Uncle Zhang began to pay attention to his health.
Once, Uncle Zhang listened to others say that "three seven powder is good, which helps to reduce blood pressure and prevent cerebral infarction."
So Uncle Zhang went to the pharmacy to buy a large bag of Sanqi powder to eat at home, and after drinking for a month, he found that his blood pressure really dropped. This made Uncle Zhang very excited, simply stopped the drug directly, and drank a spoonful of three seven powder every day.
But just a few days ago, after Uncle Zhang got up, he suddenly felt numbness on the side of his arm, and even had some headaches. Just wanted to go to the toilet, directly fainted on the ground, the wife saw the situation and quickly dialed 120, the result was sent to the hospital for a check, it turned out to be a cerebral hemorrhage.
Fortunately, after timely thrombolysis treatment, Uncle Zhang has now been discharged from the hospital, but he has left the sequelae of crooked mouth and crooked eyes, and his heart is full of regret.
Contrary to Uncle Zhang, his neighbor Uncle Chen was diagnosed with high blood pressure as early as 8 years ago, but he has been taking medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions, and he also listens to the doctor's words and will not eat various folk remedies.
Blood pressure has been steadily controlled for so many years and there have been no complications.
In this regard, Uncle Zhang did not understand, is not Sanqi powder used to pass through blood vessels? Why did I eat it myself and have a cerebral infarction?
One, three seven powder can lower blood pressure, really fake?
Sanqi powder, as early as the Ming Dynasty, already had, the well-known "Compendium of Materia Medica" has been recorded: Sanqi sexual temperature, return to the liver, stomach meridians, has the effect of dispersing stasis and stopping bleeding, swelling and pain relief.
So why is it said that three seven powder can lower blood pressure? Mainly because in recent years, studies have found that the main active ingredient of Panax notoginseng is Panax notoginseng total saponins, which can help reduce the degree of arteriosclerosis, increase peripheral vascular elasticity, reduce the pressure on the inner wall of blood vessels, and thus play a hypotensive effect.
In fact, most of the tests related to this are animal tests, which is not equal to clinical efficacy, so whether Panax notoginseng powder is effective in reducing blood pressure in humans requires further in-depth research to give a conclusion.
Therefore, if you can use it as a health supplement, you can use it appropriately, but don't expect to use it as a substitute for drugs.
And you may not be able to bear the consequences of blindly stopping the drug. Unauthorized discontinuation of the drug may cause a rebound in blood pressure. If the fluctuation of blood pressure is too obvious, it may damage the heart, brain, kidney and other organs, and serious may also induce cerebral hemorrhage, kidney failure, and even direct death.
Second, take three seven powder 3 side effects to recognize, do not follow the trend to eat
As the saying goes, it is a drug three points of poison, three seven as a kind of natural products with complex components, some of which may be beneficial to health, but some ingredients may endanger health, so before taking three seven, be sure to understand its side effects and contraindications.
1. Allergic reactions
Some of the ingredients contained in Sanchi, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, etc., can easily lead to allergies, so people with allergic constitutions should be used with caution so as not to cause anaphylactic shock and allergic purpura.
2. Drug-induced esophagitis
Some of the ingredients in Panax notoginseng powder are more irritating, can not be swallowed directly, and need to be taken with water so as not to irritate the esophagus and cause drug-induced esophagitis.
3. Bleeding
Activating blood and dissolving stasis is a representative effect of Sanchi powder, but in some cases, if it is used blindly, it may hurt health. If you take sanchi powder during menstruation, you can increase the amount of bleeding, and if you take it during pregnancy, it may lead to miscarriage.
In addition, not everyone is suitable for eating Sanchi powder, such as children, pregnant women, lactating women, colds, people with bad stomach, etc., are not suitable for taking Sanchi powder.
It can be seen that taking Sanchi powder is exquisite, everyone should not be a health care product, and the behavior of eating it is very dangerous.
Third, the selection of three seven needs to be cautious, keeping in mind 3 points
At present, a considerable proportion of Chinese herbal medicines in the mainland have pesticide residues, and the entry of pesticide residues exceeding the standard into the human body is a huge threat to human health, which may lead to fetal malformations, infertility, cancer and other consequences. Therefore, how to choose a qualified three-seven is very critical.
Generally speaking, if you want to buy authentic high-quality sanchi, these details should be paid attention to:
1, look at the place of origin
Sanchi is more "picky" about the growth environment, it prefers a semi-shady and humid environment, so in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan, which meets the requirements, the quality of the production of Sanchi is also relatively good, and it is a veritable "hometown of China's Three Seven".
2, look at the quality
If you want to buy a good sanchi, the easiest way is to go to a regular hospital or pharmacy to buy, and then look for a regular brand, especially to pay attention to observe whether there is gMP certification. Don't be greedy and cheap, buy some unknown sources, so that the quality is not guaranteed.
3, look at the appearance
Generally speaking, the quality of the three seven is relatively clean, the appearance is often relatively clean, there is no miscellaneous soil, and the texture is relatively hard, with a certain weight.
Sanchi itself is a high-quality Chinese herbal medicine, but if you want to achieve some effects, you need professional guidance, rather than blindly taking it yourself.
It should be emphasized that sanchi can only be regarded as a "health care product", can not be eaten as a drug, trying to rely on three or seven points to achieve the purpose of treatment is not advisable, under the guidance of the doctor to take antihypertensive drugs is the "king of blood pressure".
