In winter, you are most afraid of heart problems, and this prescription can help you protect your heart and reduce the risk of disease

Winter is coming, is your heart okay?

Winter is a wonderful season, snowy, icy and pleasant. However, winter is also a dangerous season, with biting cold winds and biting cold, which makes people's hearts beat. Especially for those with heart disease, winter can be like a test, and if you are not careful, your life can be in danger.

Why is winter so bad for people with heart disease? This starts with the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all things have a relationship of mutual influence, which is divided into mutual generation, mutual restraint, mutual dependence, and mutual control. Among them, the five elements refer to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, which can not only restrain each other, but also depend on each other.

The five organs of the human body also correspond to the five elements: the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lungs belong to gold, and the kidneys belong to water. There is also a relationship of coordination and restriction between the five organs.

So, which of the five elements is the most exuberant in winter?

Water, of course. Because winter is watery, in this season, the water is the most abundant and cold. Water can overcome fire, which means that water inhibits the vitality of fire. And fire is the element to which the heart belongs. So, in winter, the heart is suppressed and damaged by water.

How to understand this truth? We can explain it with modern medicine. When the temperature drops, the human body will have a constriction of blood vessels in order to keep the body temperature stable. Vasoconstriction causes blood flow to decrease and blood pressure to rise. Elevated blood pressure increases the burden on the heart and oxygen consumption. If the heart itself has problems with ischemia or hypoxia, such as coronary heart disease, angina, myocardial infarction, etc., then it is more likely to be critical in winter.

So, in winter, we should pay special attention to protecting our hearts. So is there any good way to do it? Absolutely! Today I would like to introduce to you a miraculous prescription known as "the first prescription for the eternal heart". This prescription not only benefits the heart, but also treats various heart diseases. It can both prevent and cure, and it is simply a blessing for people with heart disease! This prescription is "Shengmaisan".

Shengmaisan is a very simple and very effective remedy.

It has only three herbs: ginseng, wheat winter, and schisandra. Putting these three herbs in water and decocting them, and then drinking them as tea, drinking them twice a week can have a good effect on tonifying the heart. If you have cold hands and feet, you can add cinnamon sticks; If the bottom of the tongue is bruised and the blood is obvious, you can add salvia.

You may ask, what is the use of such a simple prescription?

Don't underestimate it, this prescription is the favorite of generations of Chinese medicine masters. When many TCM masters treat heart disease, the first choice of prescription is it. It is much more effective than other prescriptions. Many heart attacks involve people who are sweating profusely and dying. The doctor rushed to him and immediately fried a bowl of raw maisan, poured it down, and the patient would soon turn around. It's that magical!

Up to now, the decoction is too slow, and people make it into an injection solution, which is directly injected into the blood vessels, and it can play a role in tens of seconds for rescue, and the effect is better. Everyone has also heard that in the treatment of new crown pneumonia, those seriously ill patients generally encounter two kinds of injections, one is Xuebijing injection, and the other is Shengmai injection. One can control blood clotting, and the other is used to strengthen the heart and prevent shock.

Why is Shengmaisan so powerful?

Let's take a look at the drugs inside.

The first taste is the famous ginseng.

Ginseng is a medicine that saves the peril. The ancients said that it has seven yang and three yin, which can greatly replenish vitality. Seven points of yang, indicating that this medicine is warm, and the temperature can dissipate the cold and fight the cold. And it can greatly replenish vitality, isn't this the ancient heart booster? In ancient times, many people were dying, and the family members took advantage of the patient's last breath to pour him a bowl of ginseng soup, and the patient's qi continued to rise. This is called a great replenishment of vitality, which is actually a strong heart.

And you look at the name of this recipe, it's called "Shengmaisan". What is a raw vein? That is, when the pulse is about to die, it can make the pulse reborn. Behind the pulse is actually the beating of the heart. When the heart beats normally, the pulse will be normal. If the heart is about to go out, the pulse will be absent or even completely gone. And if it can generate veins, it will definitely strengthen the heart.

How does ginseng strengthen the heart?

The main reason is that it can greatly replenish the heart qi and strengthen the heart yang. Heart Qi is the driving force of the heart's beating. Qi has a driving effect, and only when the heart qi is sufficient can the heart beat and promote the blood flow throughout the body. And Xinyang can warm the whole body, so that the whole body can stay warm, especially in winter, cold hands and feet of heart disease patients, this is not simply qi deficiency, but also yang deficiency, the use of ginseng can not only replenish qi, but also warm yang.

Of course, if people with severe heart and yang deficiency are afraid of severe cold, they can also add cinnamon branches. Cinnamon sticks can also warm the heart and yang, and can warm the meridians and dispel the cold, so that the hands and feet become warm, and enhance the ability to resist cold.

The second flavor medicine is wheat winter.

Mai Dong, its leaves grow like wheat, green and oily, and do not wither in winter, so it is called Mai Dong. According to the explanation of "Shennong's Materia Medica", it is a very good health care drug, non-toxic, and can be lightweighted and ageless after a long time, which shows that it can improve physical fitness and make people's bodies strong. In later generations, some medical scientists proposed that it can nourish yin, such as nourishing stomach yin, lung yin, and heart yin.

Why do you want to nourish yin here? Patients with heart disease may have experienced that heart disease is very prone to sweating during an acute attack, and even described as sweating profusely and soaking through the back of clothing. Sweating hurts yin, because sweat is yin, and sweat is the fluid of the heart, sweating too much, it will damage the heart fluid, and if the heart fluid is insufficient, it is easy to cause heart exhaustion and even stop beating.

Therefore, the use of wheat dong here can not only nourish the heart, but also improve the physique, which is powerful. The ginseng in front of it replenishes the temperature and yang, and the wheat winter replenishes the yin, which is called the dual tonic of qi and yin, and the tonic effect on the heart is maximized. According to pharmacological experiments, the flavor of Mai Dong has a good effect of protecting the myocardium, and can still prolong the survival time and prevent the death of myocardial cells in the state of angina, myocardial infarction, and myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which is a good gospel for patients with angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

Finally, there is a schisandra chinensis.

Schisandra is said to have five flavors, which are sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. In fact, when you taste it carefully, it is mainly sour. From a pharmacological point of view, acids can converge.

What is the convergence? It's still sweaty. As mentioned earlier, you sweat profusely when you have a heart attack. With the loss of sweat, the body's yang energy and yin fluid will be lost. How can you prevent it from running away? I use sour medicine to contain it. Acid can collect schisandra, using its sour taste can quickly stop sweat, and the body's qi and yin will not be lost in vain.

The above is one aspect of the action of Schizandra. On the other hand, Schisandra itself is a good qi tonic medicine, since the Tang Dynasty, the ancients realized the function of Schisandra chinensis to replenish qi, and the king of medicine Sun Simiao praised it as "able to greatly replenish vitality and make qi gush out from the soles of the feet". It can be seen that the ancients realized that Schisandra itself has a good tonic power.

The above are the three flavors of Shengmaisan.

One complements the temperature and yang, the other nourishes the yin, and the other complements and converges. This medicine is used to maintain the health of the heart, which can make the heart full of vitality and prevent emergencies. In particular, if you have a history of myocarditis, arrhythmia, angina, cor pulmonale, or hypotension for many years, you can take it twice a week to reduce the frequency of heart attacks. In short, if this medicine is used well, it is equivalent to adding an insurance to the heart, and ordinary minor illnesses and disasters can be carried over. The "Collection of Medical Prescriptions" says: "People have the ability to resurrect those who are dead and have a dead vein, and their contribution to resurrection is very great." ”

It should be pointed out that although this medicine is good, it is not suitable for people with high blood pressure. Because ginseng has a pressor-boosting effect, especially when used for a long time, the pressor-boosting effect is obvious. If the blood pressure is already high, using this formula will exacerbate the high pressure. As long as you grasp this taboo, you can be prepared.
