Stroke treatment requires long-term use of drugs. Western medicine mainly adopts thrombolysis, fibrin-lowering, anticoagulation and cerebral protection for ischemic stroke, but most patients have lost the best time for thrombolysis when they come to the hospital; moreover, to prevent recurrence of ischemic stroke, patients must take antithrombotic and anticoagulant drugs for a long time, which may easily cause side effects such as gastric bleeding and cerebral hemorrhage; most importantly, western medicine has a single target and is difficult to be compounded. Ischemic stroke is the result of simultaneous action of blood (high plasma viscosity) and vascular (atherosclerotic plaque formation, lumen narrowing, etc.) lesions; modern Chinese medicine with long-lasting effect, multiple targets, safety and no drug resistance. Therefore, for stroke patients, only by choosing reliable Chinese and Western medicines and using them rationally can we achieve the therapeutic purpose of increasing the effectiveness and reducing the toxicity and treating both the symptoms and the root cause; only by effectively improving the symptoms and shortening the course of the disease, we can prevent the recurrence of ischemic stroke and achieve the multiple best therapeutic effects. 1, commonly used herbs to prevent and treat stroke Astragalus: the medicinal use of Astragalus has a history of more than 2,000 years, first seen in the Han tomb Mawangdui unearthed silk book “52 disease formula”, “Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing” as a top product. The Ming “Compendium of Materia Medica” contains “Jie long also, astragalus yellow color, for the tonic of the long so named …”. The materia medica HuiYin” contains “astragalus, lung and spleen, WeiShi astringent sweat, drive the wind to transport poison medicine also …”. Astragalus has the effect of nourishing the qi and fixing the surface, promoting water and reducing swelling, supporting poison and draining pus, and generating muscle. Modern research, astragalus has enhanced the body’s immune function, liver protection, diuretic, anti-aging, anti-stress, lowering blood pressure and a wider range of antibacterial effects. At present, Astragalus is one of the main drugs for the treatment of stroke hemiplegia. The Old Book of Tang? It is recorded in the book of “Fang Ji Zhuan” that when Xu Yin Zong was an official under the King of Xin Cai of Southern Chen in the Tang Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly suffered from a stroke and was unable to speak, so she was treated by famous doctors to no avail. Empress Dowager Liu because of silence can not take medicine, see the condition worsened day by day, the doctors can not help, the new Cai Wang is anxious. But proficient in medicine Xu Yinzong not only not anxious, but proposed to use hot soup gas fumigation method for the Queen Mother’s disease. So with astragalus, wind two medicine boiled soup dozens of drachms, put under the bed of the Empress Dowager Liu, the juice filled, smoke, the Empress Dowager Liu can speak that night. After a period of conditioning, the Empress Dowager recovered as before. Angelica sinensis: It has the functions of tonifying blood and regulating menstruation, activating blood circulation and relieving pain, supporting toxicity and generating muscle, and relieving cough and asthma. It has a wide range of clinical applications, such as: dizziness, paralysis and numbness, stroke, palpitation and anxiety, insomnia and forgetfulness, blood deficiency, yellowing of the face, pale lips and nails, irregular menstruation, menstrual disorders, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, sores, carbuncles and itching of the skin, cough and asthma, excessive menstruation, bleeding from collapse and gastrointestinal bleeding, bruises, swelling and pain from stasis, headache, post-operative stasis, jaundice, etc. Therefore, the Chinese formula has Therefore, the formula of traditional Chinese medicine has been said to be “ten prescriptions and nine returns”. In 1962, Premier Zhou sent Mr. Yue Meizhong, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner, to Indonesia to treat President Sukarno. At the early stage of treatment, Sukarno liked coolness and was afraid of heat, and often slept with the door open at night, without covering below the waist. According to the Chinese medicine diagnosis, Sukarno belonged to Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity constitution. If he used hot and dry products, it would lead to hyperactivity of deficiency yang and aggravate the disease. As a result, after 8 days of taking the medicine, he saw obvious results, and after 3 months, the patient basically recovered. Chuanxiong rhizome: It has the ability to activate blood circulation, dispel wind and relieve pain. It is a good remedy for headaches, especially for treating headaches caused by wind-cold, wind-heat and blood deficiency. Modern research has found that Chuanxiong has a significant sedative effect on the central nervous system and an excitatory effect on the respiratory center of the delayed brain, the vasomotor center and the reflex center of the spinal cord. Chuanxiong Ligusticum and ferulic acid are effective in activating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, dilating blood vessels, enhancing cerebrovascular and coronary flow, and having anti-thrombotic effects. Huai Niu Knee: Functions: Tonifying the liver and kidneys, strengthening the tendons and bones, expelling blood stasis, clearing the meridians, and inducing the downward movement of blood. It is used for treating cold-damp impotence and paralysis, weakness of tendons and bones, constriction of the limbs, knee pain with no flexion, soreness of the waist and knees, obstruction of menstruation and dizziness of liver and Yang. Li Shizhen said that it is “‘nourishing and tonic, like the strength of an ox”. The alkaloids contained in it are good for lowering blood pressure, lowering plasma cholesterol, enhancing humoral immune function, and anti-aging. Not only has it been a best-selling herb for preventing and treating diseases in China, but it was also sold abroad a long time ago and was an important material for export. According to “Qingyang County Medical Journal”, “From the third year of Ming Yongle to the eighth year of Xuande (1405-11433 AD), Zheng He made seven trips to the South Seas and traded with East African countries, and our county’s Dihuang, yam, hyssop and chrysanthemum were already being sold abroad. ” Although the time mentioned in these documents varies, there is no doubt that the four major herbs have become a precious commodity in many countries around the world as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, and are used competitively to prevent and treat diseases. Guang Di Long: Clearing heat and stopping spasm, calming the liver and quenching the wind, activating the meridians, calming asthma and diuresis. It is mainly used for treating stroke hemiplegia, liver-yang headache, fever and mania, epileptic convulsions, rheumatic paralysis, lung-heat and wheezing cough, and urinary obstruction. Earthworm extract has sedative, anticonvulsant and hypotensive effects, and earthworm extract has hemolytic effects. It is often used clinically in combination with qi and blood-stasis drugs for people with qi deficiency and blood stasis, unfavorable meridians and hemiplegia and aphasia. Chicken blood vine: In the tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, there is a kind of ficus plant of the mulberry family, which is parasitic on the trunks of gigantic trees, desperately taking away the nutrients and water from the hosts and making them flourish. This kind of parasitic plant coiled up the host’s trunk and branches, strangling the tree and eventually dying, which is the well-known strangler plant. But in the dense forests of Xishuangbanna or on the cliffs of the limestone mountain valley monsoon rain forest, there grows a little-known, bleeding plant – chicken blood vine, whose function is to replenish blood, invigorate the blood, and pass through the ligaments; the main treatment for menstrual disorders, blood deficiency and atrophy, numbness and paralysis in stroke, and rheumatic paralysis. Modern pharmacology has confirmed that chicken blood vine has anti-coagulation, promote fibrinolysis, anti-platelet aggregation and vasodilating effect, and can increase blood cells, hemoglobin, inhibit aortic and head and arm artery lesions, and prevent atherosclerosis effect. Safflower: It has the function of activating blood circulation, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain. It is used for menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, obstruction, bruises and injuries. Ancient people often use a small handful of safflower, gauze wrapped in a decoction to soak the feet, for all kinds of poor blood circulation, leg and foot numbness or bruising and other bruises. Modern pharmacology found that safflower has the effect of inhibiting platelet coagulation, increasing fibrinolytic enzyme activity, inhibiting in vitro thrombosis, and promoting the expansion of collateral circulation, increasing blood flow in the cerebral ischemic area, thus reducing cerebral edema and having a protective effect on ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy; in addition, safflower has the effect of mildly stimulating the heart, reducing coronary resistance, increasing coronary flow and myocardial nutrient blood flow. Therefore, safflower is very suitable for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Tianma: moisten but not dry, can nourish blood and calm the wind, the main liver meridian, is the treatment of blood deficiency, wind and phlegm caused by liver wind, dizziness of the head, migraine headache, numbness of the limbs, hemiplegia of the important medicine. Modern research found that asparagus has sedative, analgesic, anticonvulsant effect; can increase cerebral blood flow, reduce cerebrovascular resistance; can mildly constrict cerebral blood vessels, increase coronary flow; can reduce blood pressure, slowing heart rate; asparagine has to promote cellular energy metabolism, especially in the case of hypoxia to obtain the role of energy; therefore, asparagus has a protective effect on the heart and brain ischemia. In addition, asparagus polysaccharides still have anti-inflammatory immune effect. Acorus calamus: into the heart meridian, the function of dampness and open stomach, open the orifice and open phlegm, ears and eyes, awaken the mind and puzzle. Mainly for the treatment of phlegm clouding the clear orifices, mental coma, epilepsy, forgetfulness, insomnia, tinnitus, deafness, cachexia, dysentery, dysentery and other symptoms. Ancient people commonly used to treat stroke phlegm confusion, confusion, strong tongue can not speak, epilepsy and convulsions of the disease. Modern research has shown that calamus can protect the brain due to hypoxia-induced decompensation of brain function, improve the memory consolidation impairment caused by hypoxia. Alzheimer’s disease, stroke combined with dementia, concussion sequelae, neurasthenia, myocardial infarction, loss of voice, chronic throat and other disorders have good therapeutic effect. In the ancient book “The Legend of the Immortals”, it is written that once Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, went up to Mt. Emperor Wu hurriedly bowed to him and asked, “Where is the immortal from, and how did he come here?” The old man replied, “I am from Jiuyi Mountain. I heard that there is a kind of grass called calamus on the rocks at the top of Zhongyue Mountain (among the five mountains, Mt. This grass has nine nodes in an inch and can be eaten for immortality. So I came here to collect it.” After he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared. Han Wu Di just listened to the words of the old man suddenly disappeared, his heart suddenly enlightened, he said to the left and right courtiers: “This old man did not want to pick calamus himself, but specially come to tell me.” “The Immortals” in this account, although purely legendary, but taking calamus can indeed be ear and eyesight, educational broad chest, dampness and detoxification. Peach kernel: with blood circulation to remove blood stasis, laxative, cough and asthma. Pharmacology shows that peach kernel extract can significantly increase cerebral blood flow, reduce vascular resistance, improve hemodynamic conditions; can make the clotting time and prothrombin time significantly prolonged, there is a certain anticoagulant effect, the decoction has an inhibitory effect on in vitro thrombosis. Paeonia lactiflora: not only has a very high ornamental value, but also has an important medicinal value. Paeonia lactiflora is named “Paeonia” because of its charming flower shape and colorful flowers, so it accounts for the harmonious sound of “C”, which describes a beautiful appearance. As early as in the “Poetry Classic” there is a “Yi its mutual banter, give a gift of peony”. In ancient times, men and women gave each other peony to express their love or farewell feelings, so it was also called “will leave the grass”. Paeonia lactiflora is slightly cold, bitter and sour in taste. It is used to calm the liver and relieve pain, nourish blood and regulate menstruation, astringent yin and stop sweating. It is used for headache and dizziness, dizziness, dizziness, abdominal pain, pain in the limbs, blood deficiency, menstrual disorders, spontaneous sweating and night sweating. Modern research has found that peony can lower blood sugar, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels; dilate blood vessels, anti-thrombosis, anti-platelet aggregation and other effects. It has a protective effect on cerebral edema, blood-brain barrier, and local blood flow in the brain after cerebral ischemia; significantly reduces the degree of cerebral edema, decreases the extent of cerebral infarction, and improves neurobehavioral symptoms. In addition, it has the effects of dilating coronary arteries, increasing coronary flow, counteracting acute myocardial ischemia and lowering blood pressure. Motherwort: It has the effect of activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation, diuretic and decongestant. The mechanism of activating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis of motherwort is that the thickening, coagulation and aggregation of blood can be improved by changing the blood rheology. The clinical use of motherwort alone or in combination with other drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is often effective. For example, motherwort is used in combination with wormwood, summer cress and zedoary to treat hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis. Its hypotensive effect is obvious, and cerebral arteriosclerosis can be improved. The electrocardiogram of patients with angina pectoris and myocardial infarction can be significantly improved by using motherwort injection alone in the treatment of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Motherwort with Chuanxiong, safflower and hyssop is effective in treating the sequelae of stroke. 2. Eight methods for treating stroke in Chinese medicine: activating blood stasis, resolving blood stasis, removing blood stasis and promoting blood circulation, quenching wind and promoting blood circulation, clearing heat and detoxifying toxins, invigorating qi and invigorating blood, warming yang and promoting blood circulation. 3. External treatment: Chinese medicine enema method: treating those who are delirious in the acute stage of stroke. In the acute stage, acupuncture can be used to awaken the brain and promote the awakening of comatose and drowsy patients and improve the symptoms of headache and dizziness; after the acute stage, acupuncture can be used to improve the dysfunction of hemiplegia, aphasia, choking and coughing, and sensory loss. Commonly used acupoints are: Baihui, Sishencong, Fengchi, Quchi, Waiguan, Hegu, Taichong, Suisanli, Houxi, Yanglingquan, Sanyinjiao, Lianquan, Mute Gate, Jinjin, Yuyi, etc.
