Chinese medicine does not remove vascular plaques, but generally corresponds to the effect of “activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis” in Chinese medicine. Radix Panax Ginseng has the effect of benefiting qi and strengthening the spleen, while Horny Goat Weed has the effect of tonifying kidney yang and strengthening the muscles and bones, etc. Both of them do not have the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so they cannot be used to remove vascular plaques in general. You can choose Dan Shen and other traditional Chinese medicines to treat the symptoms of vascular plaque. However, the efficacy of single medicine is limited.
