Editor's guide

Everyone has a heart that never stops, beating every minute and every second, transporting bright red blood to all organs of the body, so that people can maintain vigorous vitality at any time. This organ plays a vital role in the human body.

Once the "heart" is broken, the consequences can be imagined. In the past half century, cardiovascular disease has become the "number one killer" that threatens human life and health, and coronary heart disease is the most important "culprit". So, how should we understand coronary heart disease? How should you nourish your heart?

coronary heart disease

In coronary heart disease, the problem lies in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. The blood vessel wall there is narrowed because of blood clots, and the insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle will cause systolic diastolic disorders, which will lead to angina, acute myocardial infarction, and in severe cases, heart failure, which is life-threatening. In general, the problem needs to be solved by restoring smooth blood flow.

For example, taking medicine is to restore blood supply through thrombolysis; For example, when a stent is placed, blood supply is restored by dilating blood vessels; Another example is to open another road in a narrow area, which is often referred to as "bridging". Is there any other way to do this?

TCM Analysis

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has had the theory of "heart and spleen related", that is, there is a treatment method to treat the heart from the spleen and stomach. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is an organ that needs to be abundant in qi and blood. The power of the myocardium comes from the nutrition of the blood, and many substances in the blood belong to the "subtlety of the water valley" according to traditional Chinese medicine, which comes from the diet through the spleen and stomach.

The so-called "spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry", the spleen and stomach absorb nutrients, digest food into water and valley subtlety, is a source of qi and blood. Qi and blood can be metaplasia, and the water valley is more subtle, which is equivalent to more nutrients carried in the unit volume of blood, so even if there is no major improvement in coronary artery stenosis, the myocardium will get more nutrients than before, which is naturally conducive to the alleviation of symptoms and the stability of the condition.
