Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'd like to ask, what are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Common traditional Chinese medicines for coronary heart disease include:- Qi-tonifying and essence-nourishing herbs, such as ginseng, astragalus, and codonopsis;
- Heart Yang-warming and promoting circulation herbs, such as cinnamon twigs, asarum, and cinnamon bark;
- Qi-tonifying and yin-nourishing herbs, such as poria, rehmannia, peony root, and lily bulb;
- Blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, peach kernel, and safflower.
Traditional Chinese medicine has certain therapeutic effects in regulating the heart and can effectively alleviate symptoms. However, coronary heart disease is an organic and irreversible condition, and it cannot surpass the level of complete self-healing.
