Chinese medicine teaches you to curb stroke.
Master notes
(Stroke) should be found early and prevented early. If we actively intervene, prevent and recuperate in the premonitory stage of stroke, then preventing or delaying the occurrence of stroke is the most critical.
-Excerpt from "Famous Teachers and Students (1)"
Interpretation of TCM
Professor Zhang Xuewen has many years of clinical experience in stroke, and on this basis, he has summarized a set of treatment schemes with outstanding curative effect, and cured many cases. He believes that the most critical issue of stroke lies in early detection and prevention, and it is best to actively intervene, prevent and recuperate in the premonitory stage of stroke. Therefore, it is very important to identify and diagnose the symptoms of stroke as soon as possible. For this reason, Professor Zhang summarized the premonitions of stroke as follows: people over 40 years old often have dizziness, general numbness, headache numbness, transient syncope or slurred speech, unsteady gait, drowsiness and forgetfulness, dark purple tongue, petechia under the tongue, slippery or thin pulse and so on. Among them, dizziness, numbness, dark purple tongue, ecchymosis under the tongue and slippery pulse are the most important features.
Professor Zhang pointed out that no matter what causes the premonition of stroke, there will be a pathological change, that is, qi and blood imbalance, forming blood stasis. Therefore, he advocated the use of various drugs or non-drug means in prevention and treatment, so as to promote the dredging of meridians and the smooth flow of qi and prevent the formation of blood stasis. Based on this point of view, Professor Zhang created Qingnao Tongluo Decoction, which has a miraculous effect on the premonition of stroke.
Comprises 30g of cassia seed, 0/2g of chuanxiong rhizome/kloc-0, 0g of radix paeoniae rubra/kloc-0, 5g of hawthorn/kloc-0, 5g of salvia miltiorrhiza/kloc-0, 30g of magnet (fried first), 0g of chrysanthemum12g, and 0g of kudzu root15g.
Clearing brain, lowering blood pressure, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals.

Decoct with water, 1 dose, twice a day.
Healthy echo wall
Prevention is better than cure. As a disease with high mortality, stroke brings unimaginable pain to patients and their families. So how can we prevent it?
1. Control hypertension
Hypertension is one of the fundamental causes of stroke. Patients with hypertension should follow the doctor's advice and take antihypertensive drugs on time. If possible, it is best to measure their blood pressure 1 time every day, especially in the stage of adjusting antihypertensive drugs to keep their blood pressure stable. Maintain emotional stability, and do little or no things that are easy to cause, such as playing cards, playing mahjong, watching sports games broadcast, etc. The diet must be light and moderate, quit smoking and drinking, and keep the stool unobstructed; Moderate activities, such as walking and playing Tai Ji Chuan.
2. Prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis
To prevent and treat atherosclerosis, the key is to prevent and treat obesity. Establish healthy eating habits, eat more fresh fruits, and eat less fatty foods such as fat meat and animal offal; Moderately increase heat consumption; Take lipid-lowering drugs.
3. Pay attention to the omen of stroke
Some patients often have symptoms such as hypertension, fluctuation, headache, dizziness, numbness and weakness of hands and feet before stroke, and measures should be taken as soon as possible after discovery.
4. Pay attention to transient ischemic attack
When the patient has the aura of transient ischemic attack, he should be given a quiet rest and active treatment to prevent the development of cerebral thrombosis.
5. Pay attention to the influence of meteorological factors
Changes in seasons and climate will make hypertensive patients emotionally unstable and their blood pressure fluctuate, thus inducing stroke. At this time, it is even more necessary to prevent the occurrence of stroke.
6. Eat more fruits and vegetables
Moreover, fruit contains a lot of vitamin C. According to research, the concentration of vitamin C in blood is closely related to stroke. The higher the concentration, the lower the risk of stroke. In addition, many fruits and vegetables contain oligosaccharides, which can reduce blood coagulation and prevent stroke.
Caution recommended 1 1
Stroke is characterized by sudden fainting, hemiplegia, clumsy or aphasia, crooked tongue, numbness of limbs, rapid onset, rapid change and common cold's trouble. The following are the precursors of stroke. Once found, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Steps/Methods Tongue pain
When the elderly have tongue pain, numbness and inconvenient movement without obvious reasons, it is mostly microvascular inflammation, which also indicates that it may be related to the increase of blood viscosity.
nosebleed
A nosebleed is a warning that hypertensive patients are about to have a stroke. Many nosebleeds are caused by blood pressure fluctuations. Without prevention, it will increase the chance of stroke, so you can't be careless.
giddiness
I suddenly felt dizzy and returned to normal after a few seconds. It may be a transient ischemic attack, commonly known as "small stroke". I should go to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent a stroke.
One eye suddenly went black.
One eye suddenly turns black and can't see anything, and it will recover well in a few seconds or dozens of seconds. Medically, it is called monocular disposable black, which is retinal ischemia caused by cerebral ischemia and another signal of stroke.
Keep yawning
Yawning, this may be due to more and more serious cerebral arteriosclerosis and smaller internal diameter of blood vessels, resulting in chronic ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue.
stifle
A few people may occasionally choke when drinking water or eating in the early stage. Studies have shown that this kind of numbness powder may be a precursor to stroke.
Numbness of fingers
Although finger numbness does not necessarily lead to stroke, middle-aged people over 40 years old with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes or cerebral arteriosclerosis should pay more attention to preventing stroke.
Speak inarticulate.
One of the rare symptoms is that the nerve responsible for human activities is out of order, but it lasts for a short time and should be paid attention to.
Fall for unknown reasons
Cerebral ischemia and motor nerve failure are also symptoms, and it is easy to fall. You should seek medical treatment in time.
sleepy
According to medical observation, about 75.2% people have drowsiness symptoms before stroke, which is the earliest precursor of stroke and more preventive.
Mental state changes.
Non-traditional personality, such as becoming reticent, or irritable, or a short-term decline in IQ, is related to cerebral ischemia, which may be a precursor to stroke.
Eating five foods regularly will increase the risk of stroke.
Stroke is the number one killer in China, especially in winter, when the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is the high incidence period of stroke. Besides keeping warm in winter, it is equally important to pay attention to your daily diet. The following five foods are easy to induce stroke and should be avoided in life.
Bacon and processed meat
There are two main reasons for stroke caused by smoking or processed meat: first, a large amount of salt is added in the curing process; Secondly, smoked food contains preservatives harmful to human body. Studies have found that nitrate and nitrite can directly damage blood vessels, leading to narrowing of blood vessels, further increasing the risk of stroke and heart disease.
Suggestion: If you often eat smoked turkey or ham sandwiches for lunch, you should try to diversify your diet and choose tuna, peanut butter or other different foods every week.
Biscuits, potato chips, cakes and baked goods
Many baked goods, such as muffins, doughnuts, potato chips and biscuits, contain a lot of trans fatty acids, which will increase the risk of stroke. A new study by the University of North Carolina found that compared with women who consume 1 g of trans fatty acids every day, women who consume 7 grams of trans fatty acids (about two doughnuts or half a portion of French fries) have an increased risk of ischemic stroke.
Suggestion: avoid fast food fried with French fries, pay attention to food labels, and don't eat food containing "hydrogenated oil" and other ingredients.
Diet coke
Although replacing sugary drinks with diet coke is a wise choice to prevent obesity and maintain weight, and it is also beneficial to heart health, diet coke is more likely to induce stroke. At the 20 1 1 International Stroke Conference, the American Stroke Association announced a new study by Columbia University, and drinking a diet coke every day will increase the risk of stroke by 48%.
Suggestion: The researchers say that boiled water is the healthiest drink. If you don't like boiled water, you can drink some lemon juice, iced tea or juice.
Red meat
A new study followed 35,000 Swedish women 10 years and found that women who eat a lot of red meat every day have an increased risk of catching cold by 42%. The study was published in the American Journal of Stroke.
Suggestion: Eat more poultry (such as chickens and ducks) and fish. In addition, we should choose protein which is beneficial to the heart, especially beans, nuts, tofu and nonfat dairy products.
Packaging of pickled vegetables and instant fabrics
Many studies have shown that sodium can lead to an increase in blood pressure, which is the main cause of stroke. It is worth noting that "invisible salt" in food is more dangerous. Some common food ingredients actually contain salt, such as biscuits, ice cream and monosodium glutamate.
Suggestion: Eat less pickles and make your own soup. When you go to the supermarket, you should read the food label carefully and pay attention to "invisible salt".
"three supplements and three drops" stay away from stroke
Potassium supplementation
Potassium is one of the important elements needed by human body, which is responsible for maintaining the osmotic pressure in human cells and maintaining the normal excitability of neuromuscular cells. Potassium also participates in myocardial contraction and relaxation, and participates in human energy metabolism. People with potassium deficiency will be affected by cardiovascular system, neuromuscular excitability and osmotic pressure inside and outside cells, so they are prone to stroke. Potatoes are rich in potassium. It is reported that eating a potato every day can reduce the risk of stroke by 60%. Soybeans, mung beans, black beans, adzuki beans and mung beans are also high in potassium, so they should be eaten often.
Magnesium supplement
Calcium and magnesium are inseparable brothers and rivals. Calcium can promote myocardial contraction and enhance neuromuscular excitability, while magnesium can resist the effect of calcium and maintain the balance of calcium inside and outside brain cells, thus protecting the brain. Once the ratio of calcium to magnesium is unbalanced, it is easy to cause a stroke. Eating corn, tomatoes, kelp and other foods can supplement rich magnesium and help prevent it.
Vitamin additive
, mainly rely on vitamin C and vitamin E .. These two vitamins have strong antioxidant effect. Vitamin C can protect the integrity of vascular endothelial system and prevent thrombosis and bleeding. Vitamin E can resist oxidation, prevent harmful substances from damaging cerebral vessels, maintain vascular elasticity and prevent stroke. Eating vegetables, fruits and corn oil is good. Lipid-lowering: Hyperlipidemia causes arteriosclerosis and blood vessel blockage, which is one of the risk factors of stroke. Therefore, we should always eat foods that reduce blood fat, such as onions, kelp, cabbage and deep-sea fish oil. And drinking vinegar and tea properly is of great benefit.
bring down the blood pressure
Hypertension is also one of the risk factors of stroke, and it is a more dangerous factor. Hypertension can not only directly cause hemorrhagic stroke, but also indirectly cause thrombotic stroke. Therefore, it is very important to lower blood pressure and keep it stable. You can eat more celery, olive oil, radish and so on.
Reduce blood viscosity
The viscosity of blood in blood vessels increases, resulting in slow blood flow, easy blockage, thrombosis and stroke. Therefore, reducing blood viscosity is an important content in the prevention and treatment of stroke. To this end, you can eat more black fungus, leeks, lettuce and so on.
Drug control of three supplements and three drops
For the prevention and treatment of stroke, simple food supplement is not enough for people who are seriously short of potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin E. If necessary, drugs must be supplemented reasonably. For the "three decline"-lowering blood fat, blood pressure and blood viscosity, food supplement is far from enough, and drug control is the main means.
For the former, there are many targeted products to supplement potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin E in hospitals and markets at present. These drugs are safe and have no obvious contraindications, so just be careful not to take too much. For the latter, it is easy to choose drugs with low safety after long-term administration. In recent years, many traditional Chinese medicine products, such as Huatuo Zaizao Pills, have therapeutic compatibility in early prevention and intervention of risk factors. They are not only suitable for high-risk people with hyperlipidemia, hypertension and high blood viscosity, but also have the functions of lowering blood pressure, blood lipid and blood viscosity in acute stage, recovery stage and sequelae stage of stroke.
Tips: Stroke is one of the three major threats to human health. At present, there is no good treatment for stroke, so prevention is particularly important!
