Is it true that a single herb reduces plaque

There is no scientific evidence to prove the claim that a Chinese medicine can reduce plaque. 1. Plaque usually refers to the endothelial damage caused by long-term smoking, poor dietary habits, hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood fat and other factors, lipid deposition at the damage, causing bleeding under the endothelium to form plaque, with the development of the condition of the blockage of coronary arteries, resulting in atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and so on. Generally, statins, lipid-lowering drugs, antiplatelet drugs and other treatments are needed, and Chinese patent medicines or formulas that activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis are used for adjuvant treatment. The efficacy of a single traditional Chinese medicine is limited, and it is still to be examined if it can lower plaque. 2. Commonly used auxiliary treatment of plaque of proprietary Chinese medicines are compound danshen tablets, through the vein particles, etc., the specific use of which needs to be used under the guidance of the doctor’s diagnosis, do not take on their own. 3. In addition, besides medication, daily diet should pay attention to light diet, low oil, low fat and low sugar, control high blood pressure, high blood fat, high blood sugar, etc., and eat less fatty, sweet and thick meat and sweets, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Lifestyle habits need to pay attention to the appropriate increase in the amount of exercise, reduce sedentary, quit smoking and drinking, do not stay up all night. If you find arterial plaque, you need to consult a doctor in time. No matter whether you take Chinese medicine or western medicine treatment, it is crucial to follow the doctor’s advice to standardize the diagnosis and treatment.
