Can notoginseng treat heart disease?

Panax notoginseng can replace conventional drugs to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Rumors:

I saved a patient, a 67-year-old woman, who had a sudden acute myocardial infarction. Her heart had stopped beating when she was taken to the hospital. After continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she still can't return to heaven.

Later, her wife kept chasing me and asked: Why did you have a heart attack after eating Sanqi? Didn't she say that Sanqi can prevent thrombosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? Our wife has been eating Sanqi for two years. ......

It turned out that this patient was diagnosed with coronary heart disease three years ago and his cardiovascular system was narrow, but he didn't want to take western medicine, saying that the side effects of western medicine were too great. It is said that taking Sanqi can prevent thrombosis and reduce the three highs. The key is that there are no side effects, so he began to take Sanqi for a long time.

I told the old people that the correct treatment of coronary heart disease did not say that it could be controlled only by eating Sanqi. The treatment of coronary heart disease must be proper, not just relying on Sanqi.

Later, the old man kept talking to himself. ......

I don't know when and by whom Sanqi was praised as a magical medicine, so that many people are taking Sanqi. So, is Sanqi so effective?

First of all, we are sure that Chinese medicine is our treasure, which has long benefited the health of our people and now benefits the health of people all over the world.

One of the main advantages of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment. In other words, one side for everyone, not one medicine for everyone.

pseudo-ginseng

Taste: sweet, slightly bitter, warm in nature.

Meridian tropism: meridian tropism of liver and stomach. Has the effects of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and relieving pain.

Indications: It is used for hemoptysis, hematemesis, epistaxis, hematochezia, metrorrhagia, traumatic hemorrhage, chest and abdomen tingling, traumatic injury and swelling.

There are also many studies on Panax notoginseng in modern pharmacy: many studies say that Panax notoginseng can effectively prevent various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, lower blood pressure, slow down heart rate and protect arrhythmia induced by various drugs. Panax notoginseng saponins can improve hypoxia and reoxygenation, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, dilate cerebral vessels and enhance cerebral blood flow. From this point of view, Panax notoginseng may be beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

But notoginseng is really not so magical:

1, Panax notoginseng is a traditional Chinese medicine.

Both western medicine and Chinese medicine must be carried out under the guidance of doctors. We can't write prescriptions for ourselves. Medicine is the most special of all industries, because we must face life and never be vague. Since Sanqi is a traditional Chinese medicine, it is best to have the best effect in the hands of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is best to see Chinese medicine before deciding whether to take it, rather than watching publicity or advertisements. If notoginseng is used as medicine, you must see a doctor before making a decision. If you take Panax notoginseng as a health care product, you'd better consult to see if you can eat it, but you can't eat Panax notoginseng instead of regular medication. Panax notoginseng is a traditional Chinese medicine, which needs to be treated according to TCM theory. The concept of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine theory is different from that in western medicine, and Panax notoginseng can't replace aspirin and clopidogrel.

2, recognized methods to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Some people say that if you are not sick, eat some food to prevent it. However, at present, there is no mention of preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through Sanqi in domestic and foreign guidelines. Even with the recommendation of Chinese medicine, there is no simple Sanqi. Only a healthy lifestyle: quit smoking and drinking, insist on aerobic exercise, control weight, low-salt low-fat low-sugar diet, regular work and rest, and so on. Controlling blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid regularly is a magic weapon to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Please provide more evidence.

Vigorously promote the institutions or organizations in Sanqi, please take some time to do some comparative experiments to see if there is any big data difference between eating Sanqi and not eating it, instead of always taking an example to promote it. It's like someone won 5 million, so they advertised that they could win 5 million in the lottery. Everyone stopped working. Don't you know there is only one 5 million? For most people, it depends on labor, so they have to find a doctor, not notoginseng. If it works for someone, they will publicize it. This is a truth.

4. Never underestimate Chinese medicine.

The greatness of TCM is not a certain medicine, but a system. It pays great attention to diagnosis, syndrome differentiation, treatment, prescription and prescription, and needs evidence. It requires Chinese medicine doctors to give specific plans after hearing and asking questions, not just a few drugs, but also not the same. We should tap the essence of Chinese medicine, inherit and carry forward, and seek truth from facts! Instead of destroying it!

5. Treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

For cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that have been clearly defined, there must be the guidance of regular doctors. Blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid should be actively controlled on the basis of aspirin and statins, and traditional Chinese medicine can be added according to the specific situation. Only in this way can we effectively control the aggravation of vascular diseases and prevent myocardial infarction, instead of just eating notoginseng can prevent the aggravation of cardiovascular diseases and prevent myocardial infarction.

In short, we should treat Sanqi calmly. If you take Sanqi as medicine, you must be in awe and have the guidance of a doctor. You should pay attention to the original ecological health care products of Sanqi, because not everyone can eat them.

You want to use Sanqi instead of conventional drugs to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, I can tell you: impossible!
