Liu, a 63-year-old woman from Wuhan, was diagnosed with hypertension several years ago. She has been taking medicine for treatment, but soon, Liu becomes impatient every time she takes medicine, fearing that western medicine will have side effects on her health. So she listened to her friend's words, stopped taking western medicine, and began to use Sanqi and salvia miltiorrhiza powder for aftercare and treatment.
Liu has been eating Sanqi and salvia miltiorrhiza powder for nearly two years, and has recently started to have symptoms such as black stool and abdominal pain. At first, she thought it was nothing, probably because she ate something unclean and her stomach was upset until she fainted. Liu was rushed to the hospital and was finally diagnosed with stomach bleeding, and the culprits were Sanqi and salvia miltiorrhiza powder.
The deputy chief physician of the Department of Encephalopathy of Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine introduced that Liu took 1 1 case of Sanqi. Zhang Jinglan also said: "It is definitely right to prevent stroke, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but it is" three-point poison ". If you take it without the evaluation of a professional doctor, it may not only increase the risk of bleeding, but also cause liver and kidney damage due to long-term self-taking. "
The doctor was just indignant at Liu's behavior. This time, she was lucky, it was just stomach bleeding, but if she continued to stop taking the medicine without authorization, she might die of a direct cerebral infarction next time.
Therefore, Notoginseng can't be used without authorization, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Many hypertensive patients, like Liu, want to treat chronic diseases through health preservation, and Sanqi, which promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, has become their first choice, but Sanqi is not soaked in water to treat hypertension.
Indeed, many studies show that Panax Notoginseng can treat chronic diseases such as hypertension, but these studies can only prove that Panax Notoginseng saponins in Panax Notoginseng can reduce arteriosclerosis, but this requires a certain dose, which is not the effect that can be achieved simply by soaking in Panax Notoginseng water [1].
In addition, experts say that Sanqi can treat hypertension, not just Sanqi, but a combination of many drugs. For example, people who are already taking western medicine antihypertensive drugs can achieve significant antihypertensive effect only by taking Panax notoginseng, but not by taking Panax notoginseng alone [1].
Cardiovascular diseases are very complicated, and Chinese medicine alone can't cure them. Many factors need to be considered, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, uric acid and so on, which need to be controlled by taking other drugs.
Therefore, Panax notoginseng can help treat hypertension, but it can't be completely treated. For patients with hypertension, it is suggested to use Sanqi under the guidance of a doctor on the basis of not stopping taking drugs.
Since Sanqi has no effect on treating hypertension, is Sanqi ineffective? Of course not!
Sanqi has been used in China for hundreds of years. In Compendium of Materia Medica, it is recorded that ginseng is the first to tonify qi, and notoginseng is the first to tonify blood, with the same taste, so it is called ginseng and notoginseng, which is the most precious Chinese medicine. "
Panax notoginseng is a powder made by grinding the roots of Panax notoginseng, which is sweet and mild. Notoginseng Radix has the effects of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. Modern medical research shows that Panax Notoginseng saponins and flavonoid glycosides contained in Panax Notoginseng can obviously dilate coronary artery, effectively increase coronary blood flow and reduce the influence of blockage [2], so it can play an auxiliary role in treating coronary heart disease and other diseases [2].
But I remind you that soaking in water only plays an auxiliary role in treating coronary heart disease, which does not mean that patients should give up other treatments. Besides, Notoginseng Radix can also treat bleeding symptoms such as oral ulcer, hematochezia, gastric ulcer, hemoptysis and even traumatic bleeding.
Every drug has indications, and there must be contraindications. Although Sanqi is effective, there are three types of people who are not suitable for taking Sanqi.
Pregnant women: pregnant women are not allowed to eat many Chinese medicines during pregnancy, including Sanqi. Because Sanqi promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, pregnant women are prone to fetal gas, and even have a serious miscarriage.
Menstruation: Wen Li, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of guangxi university of chinese medicine, said that taking Panax Notoginseng during menstruation will cause excessive menstrual flow and affect menstrual cycle, so menstrual women should be banned.
People who are physically weak and afraid of cold: people with deficiency of both qi and blood are not suitable for taking Sanqi. The ancient book records: "Xu Ruo lost blood due to labor, and both yin and yang were exhausted. It is more necessary to seek the root cause. This kind of medicine is harmful. " Therefore, people with weak qi and blood and weak body are not suitable for taking Sanqi, otherwise they are prone to symptoms such as cold, runny nose, dizziness and headache.
The prices of Sanqi sold in the market are uneven. What's the difference between expensive and cheap Panax notoginseng?
First of all, the expensive Panax notoginseng may use Panax notoginseng with a long growth period, and the content of Panax notoginseng saponins in this kind of Panax notoginseng is also high. However, due to the long planting time and high cost, the price is higher.
Secondly, cheap Panax notoginseng merchants are suspected of shoddy, grinding leaves or stems of Panax notoginseng into powder as a product of Panax notoginseng, which leads to a decline in the purity of Panax notoginseng. In fact, the efficacy of these two raw materials is far from that of Panax notoginseng.
Finally, as the saying goes, the quality of expensive Sanqi is indeed better, but we should also pay attention to identifying the influence of brand premium.
Panax notoginseng is a good medicine for enriching blood and removing blood stasis, which can treat a variety of cardiovascular diseases and bleeding symptoms. Some people feel refreshed after eating Sanqi, while others feel very tired after eating Sanqi, which shows that Sanqi is not suitable for everyone. Please consult a professional doctor before taking it, and don't buy it without authorization. #39 Health Super Group # # Breeze Plan #
