The risk of carotid plaque mainly lies in unstable plaque, which is unstable and easy to fall off on the blood vessel wall. When the plaque falls off in whole or in part, it becomes an embolus in the blood flow, which reaches the brain with the blood flow and blocks the distal cerebral artery, leading to embolic events. Depending on the size of the blocked blood vessel and the blocking time, it will lead to different results. Small blood vessel blockage is slight or asymptomatic, while large blood vessel blockage can lead to sudden hemiplegia and aphasia. If the blockage time is short, there will be short-term slurred speech, dizziness, numbness or weakness of limbs. Severe cases may lead to blindness, hemiplegia and even life-threatening!

For the plaque that already exists in the body, the commonly used Chinese medicine for treating plaque at present is Xiaoban Jiangzhuo Tongmai Decoction.

Dissolving plaque, reducing turbidity and promoting pulse decoction can stabilize or melt the already formed atherosclerotic plaque, increase the thickness of plaque envelope, prevent plaque rupture, improve arteriosclerosis and prevent the further development of the disease; At the same time, it can also repair the damaged vascular endothelium, make the vascular endothelium smooth again, and make the lipids in the blood not easy to attach to it, thus reducing the environment for plaque formation.
