The claim that three flavors of Chinese medicine can eliminate plaque is wrong. Chinese medicine believes that plaque is mostly caused by blood stasis and phlegm, etc. Salvia divinorum and safflower can activate blood circulation, and hawthorn can dissolve turbidity and reduce fat (clean up the dirty and turbid substances in the body and reduce the excess fat in the body). These Chinese medicines have auxiliary therapeutic effects on intravascular plaque, but clinically they should be used in combination with other medicines. 1. Salvia miltiorrhiza: It has the effects of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), regulating menstruation and relieving pain (regulating menstruation and relieving pain during menstruation), and can be used in the treatment of dysmenorrhea and chest pain (stuffy pain in the chest). Pregnant women should use this medicine with caution. 2. Saffron: It has the effects of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), cooling the blood and detoxifying the toxin (referring to the treatment of blood-heat and toxin impregnation), relieving depression and tranquilizing the mind, and it can be used for treating menstrual dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and bruises and injuries. Pregnant women should use this medicine with caution. 3. Hawthorn: It has the efficacy of eliminating food and strengthening stomach (promoting food digestion and strengthening the function of stomach and internal organs), promoting qi and dispersing blood stasis, resolving turbidity and lowering lipids (clearing the body of impurities and reducing the excess fat in the body), and it can be used for the treatment of stagnant and obstructed menstrual cramps, abdominal pain, and hyperlipidaemia. Hawthorn should be used with caution for those with excessive gastric acid secretion. The above medicines have auxiliary therapeutic effects on intravascular plaque, but clinically, the above three Chinese medicines should not be used only, and should be used in combination with other medicines under the guidance of physicians.
