Patient's question:
My mom has slightly high blood pressure. Recently, my friend gave me some Salvia miltiorrhiza tablets. I want to know if people with high blood pressure can take Salvia miltiorrhiza tablets?Doctor's answer:
Danshen tablets have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can reduce blood viscosity. Therefore, they can improve blood supply within blood vessels and prevent blood from becoming too viscous, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. As a result, they are helpful in lowering blood pressure, and hypertensive patients often use Danshen tablets for treatment. They can also prevent symptoms such as coronary heart disease and angina, as well as cerebral edema of peripheral vascular, caused by blood viscosity.
