The 65-year-old Lao Wang suffers from hypertension and diabetes. He goes to the hospital once a year. On the one hand, he has to have a check-up and on the other hand, he wants to improve blood vessels. Lao Wang calls this clearing blood vessels.
Every time, Lao Wang will take the initiative to ask the doctor to prescribe a little Danshen injection, the purpose is to improve the blood vessels.
So, can Lao Wang really prevent the formation of thrombosis by doing so?
The doctor said that in any case, the practices of the above hospitals are incorrect. Although Salvia miltiorrhiza can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, it is not only unnecessary to use Salvia miltiorrhiza injection regularly to improve the function of blood vessels, but also may induce adverse reactions.
Many people have the misconception that drugs must be used in blood vessels to achieve the best effect, but they ignore that all drugs used in blood vessels may produce extremely serious adverse reactions, including damaging blood vessels, inducing allergic reactions, and even more seriously, leading to anaphylactic shock.
Most of the time, Salvia miltiorrhiza doesn't need to be used intravenously at all, but it can be taken orally. However, there are people who just rely on Salvia miltiorrhiza blindly, but ignore the control of their own diseases. For example, people with high blood pressure don't take antihypertensive drugs, but only take Salvia miltiorrhiza, and people with diabetes don't take hypoglycemic drugs, but only eat Salvia miltiorrhiza. These are not desirable.
Although salvia miltiorrhiza can be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, it mainly plays an auxiliary role, and it is not advisable to rely entirely on salvia miltiorrhiza.
Although salvia miltiorrhiza belongs to traditional Chinese medicine, the side effects are relatively small, but not everyone is suitable for using salvia miltiorrhiza, such as the following three groups of people, it is best not to use it.
First, pregnant women should not use salvia miltiorrhiza, because salvia miltiorrhiza may cause abortion.
Second, people with bleeding tendency can't use salvia miltiorrhiza, which has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. For example, if a person has poor blood coagulation function and has bleeding tendency, it is best not to use it.
Third, people with allergies, it is best not to use salvia miltiorrhiza, which is prone to serious allergic reactions.
