Last week, Chen Bo visited the outpatient department of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and asked the doctor, "Doctor, I have high blood pressure. Many friends recommend me to buy Panax notoginseng powder to eat. Can I eat it

Dr. Lin, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, had a detailed understanding of Chen Bo's condition, examined his tongue coating, diagnosed his pulse, and said to the old man, "It's not appropriate to use Sanqi powder alone in your case

Chen Bo looked surprised and asked, "Isn't Sanqi powder able to open up the cardiovascular system? The saying 'one spoonful of Sanqi powder can eliminate all kinds of illnesses' has always been around

Many elderly people, in order to maintain health and nourish their heart and blood vessels, purchase Panax notoginseng powder on their own. There are numerous articles on "Sanqi Health Preservation" online, and some businesses even package Sanqi powder as a "divine medicine".

But in fact, Sanqi powder is not suitable for every patient with cardiovascular disease.

Is Sanqi Powder Good for Hypertension?

Clinical Research in Traditional Chinese Medicine has published a study on the therapeutic effect of Sanqi powder on hypertension. The study selected 40 patients with primary hypertension, all from the Cardiology Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There were 23 males and 17 females, aged 48-70 years, with a course of 4-11 years.

The researchers randomly divided these 40 patients into a treatment group and a control group, while all patients were treated with Western medicine and maintained the same treatment plan before enrollment. The traditional Chinese medicine decoction in both groups was based on Tianma Gouteng Yin,Add 3g of Panax notoginseng powder to the traditional Chinese medicine decoction in the treatment groupThe control group did not add Panax notoginseng powder, and the treatment period was 14 days.

During the treatment process, researchers continuously observe the patient's blood pressure changes. According to research results, 40 patients showed a decrease in blood pressure after treatmentPatients who take Sanqi powder have significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure after treatment compared to those who do not take Sanqi powder

From this, it can be seen that Sanqi powder has the effect of lowering blood pressure and has definite therapeutic effects on primary hypertension.

Misunderstanding of using Sanqi powder to lower blood pressure

Many people with hypertension, knowing that Sanqi powder has the effect of lowering blood pressure, blindly rely on Sanqi powder as a method of treating hypertension. In fact, doing so is not advisable. Although Panax notoginseng powder has certain cardiovascular benefits, it cannot be relied solely on. Drug treatment and lifestyle are still needed.

Currently, there is no complete cure for hypertension and it can only be controlled through medication,Hypertensive patients usually need to take antihypertensive drugs for life

On the road to lowering blood pressure, it is important to remember one sentence:Medication as the mainstay, supplemented by daily life

Not everyone is suitable for Sanqi powder

Professor Wen Xiaomin, Director of the Prevention and Treatment Center of the Integrated Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine at Southern Medical University, introduced that Sanqi powder has functions such as hemostasis, promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis, reducing swelling and pain, nourishing and strengthening, anti fatigue, hypoxia resistance, anti-aging, lowering blood lipids, blood pressure, and improving immune function, which are beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Although Panax notoginseng powder is good, not everyone is suitable for it. The following categories of people should not take Panax notoginseng powder.

1. Pregnant women

Pregnant women must not take Panax notoginseng powder during pregnancy, as it has the effects of promoting blood circulation and reducing blood pressure. Once a pregnant woman takes Panax notoginseng powder, it is very easy to activate fetal gas, and in severe cases, it can even lead to miscarriage.

2. Children

For children, it is important to avoid taking Panax notoginseng powder in daily life, as it may affect their growth and development. Sanqi powder has the effect of promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, which directly affects the development of children who are in the developmental stage and have weak visceral functions. Although Sanqi powder can effectively help regulate immunity, it is generally not recommended for children who have not yet fully developed to take it.

3. People with allergies

Before taking any medication, people need to understand their physical condition, especially pay attention to whether there are any allergic reactions to the medication. If allergic symptoms occur after taking Sanqi powder, it is necessary to stop taking the medication in a timely manner.

In summary, no matter how good the Sanqi powder is, it should be chosen based on one's own situation. Do not blindly follow it, otherwise it will affect one's own healthy development.
