Nowadays, more and more people have the problem of high blood lipids and high cholesterol.
It is important to know that at the beginning, our body will not feel obvious abnormalities when blood lipids are elevated, we should eat, we should sleep, and everything is business as usual.
The terrible thing about hyperlipidemia is that it is the cause of many cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke, coronary heart disease, etc.
Yuanzhi saw a patient in the ICU, a 25-year-old young man, who was sent directly to the ICU when he was sent to the hospital because he had been eating and drinking for a long time, staying up all night, and not taking his high blood lipids and high blood pressure seriously.
Lying on the hospital bed, the doctor told him bluntly that if he was sent in next time, he might not be able to save him. As soon as these words came out, the young man was stunned on the spot.
Hyperlipidemia is mainly subordinate to "phlegm disease" in the cognitive category of traditional Chinese medicine.
Eat more and move less. It can be said to be a common problem of modern people. However, once the maximum load of the spleen and stomach is exceeded, food accumulates in the spleen and stomach, and it is easy to turn dampness into heat, and dampness accumulates into phlegm, which flows in the blood veins. Therefore, this is also one of the main reasons for high blood lipids in many people.
And we say that phlegm dampness is sticky in nature, so when phlegm dampness runs into our blood veins, it is easy to attach to the blood vessel wall, so that the blood flow that can pass through smoothly is greatly reduced. As a result, the blood supply to the heart is also affected. In the case of a lack of support from the heart day after day, cardiovascular diseases also arise from this.
In addition, staying up late for a long time, staying up all night working, playing games, and watching dramas are also one of the reasons for the increase in blood lipids.
Because staying up late hurts the yin!
Our body is inherently balanced with yin and yang, just like day and night, mutually restrictive and interdependent.
Staying up late is bound to mobilize our kidney essence to maintain the normal transport of the body. It's like burning an oil lamp, if you want to illuminate, you have to consume oil. And the lamp oil here is the kidney essence in our body. Therefore, if you stay up all night, the kidney essence will be constantly consumed. In the long run, the yin in the body does not control the yang, and the void yang is easy to float on the top, burning the essence and blood, and the blood becomes more and more viscous when heated, turning into blood stasis and intertwining with phlegm and dampness.
Therefore, the treatment of hyperlipidemia should first dissolve phlegm and stasis.
The Chinese patent medicine I am talking about today is called Mai'an granules.
Maian granules: malt, hawthorn.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the stomach is the main acceptance, and the spleen is the main health. It is said that the food we eat is first digested by the stomach and converted into the subtleties of the water valley that can be absorbed by the human body, and then it is transfused to the five internal organs through the function of the spleen and health to transform qi and blood. Therefore, in ancient times, the spleen had the title of the source of qi and blood biochemistry.
However, if the spleen and stomach qi are deficient, all the subtleties of the water valley are accumulated in the spleen and stomach and cannot be transported, and these subtle substances that can transform qi and blood can easily turn into phlegm and dampness, which aggravates the symptoms of spleen and stomach qi stagnation, and secondly, it enters the blood veins and stasis and attaches to the blood vessel wall, causing cardiovascular disease. For this reason, the spleen is also known as the source of phlegm.
Our ancestors have an old saying, called "flowing water does not rot, the hub does not beetle", which means that the water that always flows will not rot and stink, and the door shaft that is always open is not easy to be eaten by insects. In the same way, if the qi in the body is sufficiently fluid, and the spleen and stomach are not deficient, there is no source of phlegm and dampness.
Malt mainly enters the spleen and stomach meridians, and is especially good at strengthening the stomach and eliminating food, and eliminating qi stagnation.
The intake of malt undoubtedly infuses the body with a lot of fluidity. The spleen and stomach rotated step by step, and the subtlety of the water valley was spread to the viscera, and the phlegm and dampness were cut off.
malt
As for hawthorn, it is also a medicinal material for strengthening the stomach and eliminating appetite.
Different from malt, hawthorn enters the blood, and has the effect of dissipating qi and stasis, dissolving turbidity and lowering lipids. The blood stasis in the blood that is embarrassed by phlegm and dampness is dispersed bit by bit.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that although malt and hawthorn are both medicinal materials for eliminating food, malt is biased towards eliminating the food accumulation of rice flour and potatoes, while hawthorn is longer than the food accumulation of greasy meat.
Mai'an granules take the best of both worlds and complement each other to maximize the effects of deposition and lipid reduction.
