Unblocking Clogged Blood Vessels After COVID-19

Chinese medicine believes that "when there is stoppage, there is pain", the human body's blood, meridians, blood vessels are like a river, only running smooth and unimpeded, in order to nourish the body organs, to ensure that the body organs normal operation. Once there is a blockage in a blood vessel somewhere, it can lead to pain, heart attacks, and even heart disease

The most common is atherosclerosis, angiosclerosis, then the blood flow slows down after narrowing, which can have a very important effect on our heart, brain, kidneys, and limbs

For example: 

Once a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain, it's a stroke;

When it occurs in the lungs, it is a pulmonary embolism;

When it occurs in the heart, it is a heart attack;

When it occurs in the intestines, it can lead to ischemic necrosis of the intestines;

The most serious blood stasis is when it occurs in the heart. Keeping blood vessels open is especially important for people who already have problems with high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, coronary heart disease, blood clots, and fatty liver.

Here I would like to introduce a small formula consisting of two herbs, which helps to unclog blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by making a tea and drinking it.

The first herb in this formula is astragalus, which is known as "the most important of all Qi tonic medicines". Astragalus is sweet and warm in nature, and enters the lung and spleen meridians, and is able to nourish the Qi of the heart and lungs. It can not only enhance the immune function, hepatoprotective, diuretic, anti-aging, anti-stress, but also has antihypertensive and antibacterial effects. Astragalus is able to dilate coronary arteries, improve myocardial blood supply, enhance immune function, and slow down the process of cellular aging. Therefore, Astragalus does have significant effects in tonifying Qi and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

However, it is not enough only tonify Qi, in order to deal with the problem of blood vessel stasis, we also need to add a medicine that can promote Qi, remove stasis and activate blood circulation. Hawthorn is a good choice. Hawthorn has a sweet and sour taste, which not only strengthens the stomach and eliminates food, but also is a good medicine for eliminating food stagnation, activating blood circulation and removing phlegm. In addition, hawthorn also has the effects of lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, strengthening the heart and resisting arrhythmia.

Combining the astragalus and hawthorn, astragalus replenishes Qi, strengthens the body's Qi and accelerates blood circulation; hawthorn activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis, which complement each other and can better perform the function of benefiting Qi and activating blood circulation. For patients with Qi deficiency type heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other blood lipids that are more viscous, this formula has some improvement effect.
