Legal Evening News (Reporter Shark Wang) Recently, an ancient prescription of "dredging blood vessels" went viral on WeChat, claiming that all the originally blocked blood vessels were dredged after a month's diet according to the prescription. "No matter how serious it is, it can pass!"

It is understood that ancient ingredients include lemon juice, ginger juice, garlic juice and apple vinegar, which are very common ingredients in daily life. Moreover, the production method is not difficult: garlic and ginger are peeled and chopped, squeezed into juice, and filtered with a sieve. Next, put the garlic juice and ginger juice into a casserole, add lemon and apple vinegar, bring to a boil with high fire, and then simmer slowly, without covering the lid, for about half an hour. After cooling, add honey to taste. Finally, the finished product is stored in a glass bottle and put in a refrigerator. The administration method is to take a spoonful before breakfast every day.

Finally, this ancient prescription says that most people's cardiovascular diseases can be cured by taking the prescription. It can also be used as a beverage to prevent cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, colds and other diseases. He also said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up one month after eating, and you will find that the blood vessels are clean and all the blocked places are open."

Therefore, Yang Jun, the attending physician in the emergency department of Chaoyang Hospital, thinks that this ancient prescription can be tried from the perspective of health care, but diabetics should take it carefully and treat it rationally.

Taking the ancient prescription with caution is risky.

Yang Jun introduced that in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in China, there has always been a saying that medicine and food are homologous, that is, there is no obvious boundary between many foods and drugs. Ginger, garlic, apple vinegar and lemon juice mentioned in this method have the functions of regulating blood lipid, lowering blood pressure, preventing platelet aggregation and enhancing immunity, so they have the functions of reducing blood lipid, lowering blood pressure, preventing colds and regulating digestive tract function. Try it from the perspective of health care. "But it is unrealistic to expect this prescription to clean all the originally blocked blood vessels in one month."

At the same time, the essence of TCM lies in its dialectical and holistic diagnosis and treatment, that is, individualized and holistic treatment. There is no uniform prescription for the same disease, even if the same person takes drugs at different times, it will never be the same.

"Just like the prescription mentioned above, not everyone can use it. From the efficacy point of view, ginger and garlic are both warm and pungent products, and those with yin deficiency and internal heat and carbuncle are forbidden to eat. From the point of view of western medicine, patients with fever, major surgery and blood loss, menopausal women and gastric ulcer are not suitable for eating. If apple vinegar is taken for a long time, it will affect teeth and throat and stimulate gastric mucosa. For patients with osteoporosis, low potassium, diuretics and diabetes, taking apple vinegar is more cautious. " Yang Jun said.

Vascular plaque can't disappear completely.

Yang Jun said that the currently used clinical methods for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease were put forward on the basis of a large number of animal experiments and large-scale clinical research, which met the requirements of evidence-based medicine, and its therapeutic effect was supported by large-scale clinical evidence. And at present, no medicine or food has been proved to make the plaque in blood vessels disappear completely.

In addition, WeChat also showed the blood vessel contrast chart before and after taking the ancient prescription. Yang Jun also thinks that blood vessels are in different states, such as spasm and relaxation, and it is difficult to really explain the problem with only two pictures that can only show the lumen but not the wall.

Therefore, Yang Jun reminded that in today's society, people should treat these so-called folk remedies rationally, don't blindly exaggerate their efficacy, don't blindly follow the trend, and don't give up formal treatment.

Of course, a healthy lifestyle is very important for patients with cardiovascular diseases.

For example, you can eat more black fungus and celery, eat less animal offal with high cholesterol, keep a light diet and exercise properly. Exercise 3-4 times a week, such as walking for 40 minutes each time, and feel a little sweaty.
