Hello everyone, I am Director Sun Lan from Beijing Boai Hospital, with over 30 years of clinical experience, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to sharing knowledge through this platform, hoping to help everyone navigate health issues more efficiently.
Today, I would like to share a combination of four commonly used Chinese herbal medicines in my clinic, which have significant efficacy for coronary heart disease characterized by Qi stagnation and blood stasis. They can effectively unblock blood vessels throughout the body, being both simple and efficient. Especially the last herb, known as the “Qi herb in the blood,” plays a crucial role. If you find this information helpful, please consider following and sharing it with those in need for future reference.
First Herb: Hong Hua (Safflower)
Hong Hua is pungent and warm, entering the Heart and Liver meridians, and is non-toxic. Its main effects are to invigorate blood circulation, regulate menstruation, and alleviate pain, providing auxiliary treatment for cardiovascular diseases, immune system disorders, and neurological conditions.The yellow pigment components in Hong Hua can effectively dissolve local blood clots and have anticoagulant effects.
Second Herb: Dan Shen (Salvia Root)
Dan Shen is bitter, slightly cold, and enters the Heart and Liver meridians. It has the effects of invigorating blood, dispelling stasis, alleviating pain, calming the heart, and cooling the blood to resolve abscesses, commonly used for treating chest pain, angina, and abdominal pain.Due to its cost-effectiveness, I often use it in the treatment of coronary heart disease, vascular blockage, and carotid artery plaques; it is a rare good medicine.
Third Herb: Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis)
Dang Gui is sweet, warm, and enters the Liver, Heart, and Spleen meridians. It can both tonify and invigorate blood, with effects of regulating menstruation, alleviating pain, and moistening dryness to promote bowel movements, particularly suitable for patients with coronary heart disease characterized by Qi and blood deficiency.Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Dang Gui has multiple effects, including lowering blood lipids, anti-atherosclerosis, treating arrhythmias, and myocardial ischemia, while effectively controlling plaque development and inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Fourth Herb: Chuan Xiong (Szechuan Lovage Root)
Chuan Xiong is pungent, warm, and enters the Liver, Spleen, and San Jiao meridians, known as the “Qi herb in the blood.” Its characteristics include ascending to the head, unblocking stagnation, and descending to the blood sea, excelling in invigorating blood circulation, promoting Qi flow, and alleviating pain.For diseases such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, and cerebral infarction, Chuan Xiong is an indispensable good medicine. Modern research further confirms that Chuan Xiong extract can improve blood circulation, inhibit platelet aggregation, and dilate blood vessels.
These four herbs are often used in combination in my clinic for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to their affordability and significant effects, receiving high praise from patients. However, it is important to note that Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment tailored to the individual; specific dosages and methods must be adjusted according to personal constitution and condition. If you would like to learn more about the usage of these four herbs or consult regarding your personal situation, feel free to visit my homepage for further communication.
