People often sigh that if you want to give a "model worker award" to the organs of the human body, it is estimated that the heart is the second, and the other organs are embarrassed to say the first, indeed, people can endure not drinking water for three days, but it is difficult to endure three minutes without breathing, and even more unbearable for a minute without heartbeat. Therefore, the heart is worthy of being called the "official of the monarch", and its "work intensity" is indeed obvious to all. Therefore, it is particularly important to protect the heart. Among the vast prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a relatively modern prescription for curing the heart, and its clinical use is no less than that of the thousand-year-old prescription, so what is this "panacea"? It is the "quick-acting heart-saving pill" that many people are familiar with.
Among the many Chinese patent medicines, "Quick-acting Heart Saving Pill" is a good medicine with an extremely simple composition but a very rapid effect. The composition of the medicine of the fast-acting heart pill is actually very simple, and the whole medicine is composed of two traditional Chinese medicines: "Chuanxiong" and "borneol". However, what many people don't know is that there are many classic prescriptions throughout the ages, and only one or two flavors of traditional Chinese medicine are used, so the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine does not actually need to reflect the quantity of medicinal taste, and its core essence lies in the evidence.
Let's talk about Chuanxiong first, Chuanxiong this flavor of traditional Chinese medicine has a long history, since the "Shennong Materia Medica" record, it is a special medicine for the treatment of brain diseases, and there is a saying that "there is Chuanxiong, no headache" in the folk. In particular, the effect of "Rihuazi Materia Medica" on Chuanxiong can be said to be pushed to an incomprehensible height, and it is believed that Chuanxiong can be used to treat "all wind, all qi, all strain, all blood", and also has the effect of "regulating the pulse", "breaking the blood", "nourishing new blood", and "eliminating blood stasis", which is also destined to become the patron saint of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Later generations of doctors discovered that Chuanxiong's scurrying function is very powerful, and they believe that Chuanxiong is "the leader of the ascending", "the middle opening and stagnation", "down-regulating menstrual water", and "bypassing the skin", which is really ubiquitous and omnipotent.
Borneol, although first published in the "Famous Doctors' Directory", but also still has a history of more than 1,000 years of medicinal use, the medicinal properties of borneol are good at going around and opening up, omnipresent, fragrant gas, can ward off all evil, pungent and hot, can disperse all rheumatism. It has some similar effects with Chuanxiong, but it is different and different. The wonderful use of borneol was kicked off in the Ming Dynasty, and the medicine saint Li Shizhen put forward the idea of "passing through all the tricks and dispersing the fire" on the efficacy of borneol, which had a profound inspiration for later generations of doctors to use borneol; the "Huiyan of Materia Medica" even mentioned that "all diseases of the abrupt and achievable, phlegm and faintness cannot be cured"; "Lei Gong Cannon Pharmaceutical Solution" said that borneol can "pass through the nine orifices, dispel the wind, brighten the ears and eyes, kill all insects, and relieve Gu poison." I have to say that the effect of borneol is also very strong.
For the two traditional Chinese medicines, Chuanxiong and borneol, not only have their unique effects in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases been found in ancient Chinese medicine classics, but also modern pharmacology has fully proved the importance of Chuanxiong and borneol for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Chuanxiong can reduce vascular resistance, reduce the burden on the heart, directly dilate coronary arteries, increase coronary blood flow, improve microcirculation, and improve acute myocardial ischemia and hypoxia; Therefore, the establishment of the quick-acting heart pill is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese medicine industry, and it has also brought good news to thousands of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
For the fast-acting Xingxin pill, it is not only widely used in modern clinical practice, but also pharmacological research has never stopped at it. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the fast-acting Xinxing pill can dilate coronary arteries, relax vascular smooth muscle, anti-myocardial ischemia, protect myocardial cells, inhibit atheroma formation, reduce blood viscosity and significantly antispasmodic and analgesic[1]. Other studies have shown that the fast-acting Xingxin pill has pharmacological effects such as anti-atherosclerosis, protection of ischemic myocardium, anti-myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, plaque stabilization, anticoagulation, and antithrombosis[2]. I have to say that the fast-acting heart-saving pill composed of Chuanxiong and borneol, the medicinal effect can really be said to have passed through thousands of years, and it can still "dialogue across time and space", which can't help but make people sigh that the ultimate goal of all medicine is the same goal.
In modern clinical practice, the quick-acting Xingxin pill can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, myocarditis, and arrhythmia, painful diseases such as renal colic, headache, and dysmenorrhea, as well as other diseases such as bronchial asthma, cardia and multiple lacunar cerebral infarction [2]. Not only that, it can also be used for the treatment of cardiovascular neurosis, arrhythmia, complex premature ventricular contractions, viral myocarditis, chronic and acute onset cor pulmonale, bronchial asthma, pediatric pneumonia combined with heart failure, cerebral arteriosclerosis, concussion syndrome, cerebral infarction, sequelae of stroke, vascular headache, migraine, cervicogenic vertigo, cervical spondylosis, trigeminal neuralgia, flank pain, cholelithiasis colic, bronchial asthma, cardia spasm (achalasia), gastric pain, acute abdominal pain, crampy abdominal pain, urinary tract stones, Diseases such as renal colic, postherpetic neuralgia, heel pain, cancer pain, dysmenorrhea, plum kernel gas, aphthous ulcers, hysteria, hyperglycemia, acute alcoholism, and other diseases, as well as reducing portal venous pressure and preventing motion sickness [3]. In addition, it can also be used to treat mouth ulcers, heel pain, kidney stones and renal colic, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and external treatment of hemorrhoids [4]. Therefore, the quick-acting heart-saving pill can not only save the heart, but also treat more diseases, which is really a classic medicine of "one specialty and multiple functions".
It is not difficult to see that the quick-acting heart-saving pill not only saves the heart, but also regulates coronary heart disease, myocarditis, cerebral infarction, cervical spondylosis and other diseases. In addition, when using fast-acting heart pills, it is necessary to keep in mind the principles of "new drugs, prevent addiction, chew before eating, sit and take it, ineffective medical treatment, medicine does not leave the body, and take it immediately if there is a symptom". As a kind of first-aid Chinese patent medicine, it is necessary to remember that once the symptoms of the indication appear, it is necessary to take the medicine in time, and if the medicine is ineffective, you should seek medical attention immediately. In addition, in clinical use, there are also some precautions, the first is cold coagulation blood stasis, yin deficiency blood stasis, chest paralysis and heartache people, should not be used alone; the second is that there is a history of allergies should be used with caution, accompanied by moderate to severe heart failure myocardial ischemia patients should be used with caution; the third is during the treatment period, angina pectoris continues to attack, it is advisable to add nitrate drugs; the fourth is forbidden for pregnant women.
