Removal of vascular plaque is a western term for atherosclerosis, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, palpitations (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic), etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that this symptom is mostly related to blood stasis, and that the effect of a single Chinese medicine is limited, so it is often used in the treatment of the combination of Chuanxiong, Safflower, Danshen, and other traditional Chinese medicines. Rhizoma Chuanxiong is effective in activating blood circulation, dispelling wind and relieving pain (dissipating wind evils and relieving pain in the muscles and bones), and relieving symptoms such as chest palsy (stuffy pain in the chest), heartache, and stabbing pains in the chest and ribs (chest and ribs) caused by stagnation of blood (stagnation of the blood due to the lack of circulation of the qi). Saffron can activate Blood circulation and eliminate stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), cool Blood and remove toxins (referring to the treatment of Blood-heat and toxins), and is often used to treat symptoms such as chest paralysis and heart pain, abdominal pain with stagnation of blood, and tingling in the chest and hypochondrium. Salvia miltiorrhiza has the efficacy of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, clearing menstruation and relieving pain, clearing the heart and removing vexation (removing vexation and heat within the heart), cooling the Blood and eliminating carbuncles (eliminating carbuncles and swellings by clearing and cooling the Blood), and is also used in the treatment of chest paralysis and heart pain, abdominal and stomach pain, and impediments in the abdomen (the appearance of tangible and intangible lumps in the abdomen, with a feeling of distension and pain). Although Chinese medicines such as Chuanxiong, saffron and danshen have some effect on vascular plaques, the effect is limited and patients should follow medical advice and use medication under the guidance of a doctor.
